The proposed <br /> building would be 60' by 120' in size, still requiring a variance for an oversized accessory building. <br /> The County has indicated they have explored other options for the site, but at this time it is not <br /> feasible to relocate the entire site. <br /> Weinberger noted the salt and sand that would be stored in the shed is already being stored on the <br /> site, either in the existing building or outdoors. Most of the material must be delivered in the evening <br /> or overnight, with some limited daytime deliveries. <br /> Weinberger stated a Zoning Code Amendment is necessary to allow the maintenance facility to <br /> exist in the LR-1C zoning district. The facility was constructed at a time when the property was <br /> zoned for commercial purposes, however, that zoning was changed to residential in the early 1970s, <br /> which has resulted in a legal non-conforming use of the property. <br /> A variance to permit hardcover within the 500-1000' setback from the OHWI of Lake Minnetonka is <br /> needed. The amount of hardcover proposed would result in a reduction of hardcover from 61 <br /> percent to 57 percent. Weinberger noted 35 percent hardcover is allowed in this area. A variance <br /> to permit the sand/salt storage facility to exceed the maximum allowed size for an accessory <br /> structure is also required on this application. Weinberger stated a conditional use permit is also <br /> necessary to permit grading on the proeprty and construction of the stormwater management pond. <br /> Chock stated they have attempted to address the concerns of the Planning Commission, noting the <br /> height of the building has been reduced. <br /> • Nowlan stated the proposed building would have an open face on the south side to allow for <br /> Page 9 <br />
