5.4. BASR 09-30-1997 r-Q Item# 5.4. Sty of / ElkjRjver MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Adjustments FROM: Steve Ach, City Planner ,` DATE: September 30, 1997 GG�� SUBJECT: Request for Variance by Central Lutheran Church, Public Hearing Case No. V 97-14 Issue Central Lutheran Church is requesting a variance to the 10 foot parking setback requirement. Location • The southwest corner of School Street and Lions Park Drive. Zoning/Land Use R4 (Multi-Family Residential) / HR (High Density Residential) Attachments • Location map • Proposed site plan illustrating variance Overview In addition to the proposed variance, Central Lutheran Church is also requesting a conditional use permit to expand their existing church facility. Along with the expansion of the church, certain improvements to their existing parking lot will also take place. The variance is specifically for existing parking area along the south side of the property which is located approximately 3 feet from the property line; therefore, requiring a 7 foot variance to the 10 foot parking setback requirement. As in the past, staff and • the Planning Commission have supported a variance for existing conditions where improvements have been made in the past. Basically, this variance 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.

Recommendation It is recommended the Board of Adjustments approve the variance request by Central Lutheran Church to allow a 7 foot variance to the 10 foot parking setback requirement along the south property line, based on the following findings: 1. THE LITERAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD CAUSE AN UNDUE HARDSHIP UPON THE CHURCH BY REQUIRING THEIR PARKING AREA AND BUILDING PLANS TO BE ADJUSTED. 2. THE HARDSHIP CAUSED BY THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PECULIAR TO PIECES OF PROPERTY WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED UNDER PREVIOUS CODES AND ORDINANCES AND NOW ARE TRYING TO MEET THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE. 3. THE LITERAL APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD DEPRIVE THE CHURCH OF THE RIGHTS ENJOYED BY OTHER EXISTING FACILITIES THAT HAVE EXPANDED AND REQUIRED VARIANCES. • 4. THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ARE NOT A CONSEQUENCE OF THE PETITIONER'S OWN ACTION. 5. THE VARIANCE IS ALONG A PROPERTY LINE WHICH, FOR THE MOST PART,ABUTS A PUBLIC PARK AND WOULD CAUSE NO ADVERSE AFFECT ON THE HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE ADJACENT RESIDENTS. • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\pc\v97-14.doc 1......42w4 a c go � �rr j1�4 Ft�! r10 min IW ir-1:4411.•mom :MID II: Ism* _5 Nor Loll Iiil ALI Jes It � �• 0`` � re SOS. w4 'il.1'`p�yF ©©r,�a • �� rR.Eii90a� ,._.._ . .. , \ . . a ipy„::::r.,a•+w�a®� _ _ __-�,■� '' �fr,- 0� 1 'I ciDE 4- t��'��'K: �����i.sfiq swq I�;�:ixc.... fie YID C e SE. -- ¢ t Al ��• M 0•-•/Y'1"AI 7...�' *,11 R�,d •J o .10:`x! a, la . air p�i �- ��.
