Variances are required for 500 -1000' zone <br />hardcover, parking setback from front lot line, and building facade material. The <br />property is a conforming site in the B -5 District. <br />0 <br />Gaffron reported there were a number of issues reviewed by the Planning Commission. <br />He reviewed the site plan. The traffic flow is proposed to be in a counter - clockwise <br />circulation. Access is near the intersection of CoRds 15 and 19. Hennepin County <br />Public Works and the Planning Commission are satisfied with the access and <br />recommended two access points to the property. Gaffron said, while Staff does not <br />disagree, an issue was raised at the time of the Culver's application regarding the access. <br />The curb cut distance requirement from the intersection is met, but the City Engineer had <br />voiced concern at it may become a problem in the future, particularly if a full right turn is <br />added at the intersection. <br />Gaffron noted the applicant has addressed many of the comments made by the City_ <br />Engineer and Planning Consultant, Wally Case. Suggestions were made by the Planning <br />Commission resulting in a revised plan. Gaflron reviewed the 5 recommendations made <br />as noted on page 2 of the memo. The Commission recommended a 5' variance instead of <br />the requested 15' variance for front parking setback. They would like to see more green <br />space along Shadywood. <br />9 <br />
