Weinberger explained that the revised site plan has <br /> relocated the building closer to the property lines than previously approved. The new plan shows <br /> the building 27' from the north line and 67' from the east property line. <br /> Weinberger stated that the required setback to the rear property line for a building is 30'. The 27' <br /> setback requires a variance. Approval of the site plan as a renewal will require the site plan to be <br /> amended to meet the previously approved setbacks. In addition, Weinberger noted that the new <br /> building location would not reduce hardcover as previously approved. <br /> The facility is mainly used for winter road maintenance, with a coverage area for this facility <br /> primarily being County Road 15 between Mound and Highway 12 and County Road 19 from <br /> Orono to Excelsior. A County Highway maintenance facility since 1962,the DNR also makes <br /> use of the property for storage of milfoil harvesters etc. <br /> Weinberger stated that staff recommends approval of the renewal variances subject to the <br /> conditions as noted in Resolution No. 4485 and requires the building to meet the setbacks as <br /> approved in 2000. <br /> Lazio Philip, an independent contractor representing Hennepin County, stated that the County is <br /> willing to comply with the 2000 requirements and conditions. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> PAGE 5 of 36 <br />
