REQUESTED ACTION
A conditional use permit to operate a financial institution
with a drive-up window and a variance to the rear yard parking
setback.
• ZONING/LAND USE
C2 (Office District) / CB (Central Business)
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Mora Credit Union is proposing to utilize approximately 1, 000
sq ft of office space as a financial institution. The existing
building is in the process of being renovated to accommodate
the Credit Union. The building is a two story structure with a
total 6 ,240 sq ft of office space available.
PARKING AND CIRCULATION
The central element of a financial institution is convenient
service such as a drive-up window. Mora Credit Union is
proposing a drive-up window at the southwest corner of the
building. Access will occur via a new driveway from the
adjacent property immediately to the north. The adjacent
property owner has agreed to allow the access drive and proper
easement agreements have been signed by both parties . Adequate
parking has been provided in accordance with the ordinance. A
majority of the parking is existing, however, a new parking
area is proposed along the west property line. It is
recommended the new parking area be bounded by concrete curb
• and gutter to control surface drainage and protection from the
existing ditch immediately to the west.

REFUSE COLLECTION
A new dumpster and enclosure will be provided in the southwest
corner of the site.
LANDSCAPING
The site is essentially all bituminous with no setback space
for landscaping opportunities . However, the setback areas
adjacent to the new driveway should be sodded for aesthetic
purposes as well as preventing erosion.
VARIANCE REQUEST
Currently, a portion of the existing parking area extends to
the rear (west) property line. The new parking will be an
extension of the existing. The variance will, in part, be
recognizing existing conditions as well as a logical extension
of the new parking facility.
RECOMMENDATION
The seven findings to grant a conditional use permit and
findings for a variance can be satisfied. Therefore, staff
• recommends approval of the following:
A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS :
1 . B612 CONCRETE CURB AND GUTTER BE PROVIDED ALONG
THE WESTERLY PARKING AREA.
2 . SETBACK AREA ON NORTH SIDE OF NEW DRIVEWAY BE
SODDED.
3 . A DRAINAGE PLAN FOR ALL NEW PARKING AREAS BE
SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE CITY ENGINEER.
4 . EASEMENT DOCUMENTS FOR NEW DRIVEWAY BE EXECUTED
AND RECORDED WITH SHERBURNE COUNTY.
B. VARIANCE TO THE REAR YARD PARKING SETBACK BASED ON
THE FOLLOWING:
1 . THE NEW PARKING AREA IS A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF
THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.
2 . THE VARIANCE WILL NOT AFFECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY,
OR WELFARE OF RESIDENTS OR BUSINESSES AND IS IN
• KEEPING WITH THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE
ORDINANCE.
