ACH, CITY PLANNER River --140 -- DATE: SEPTEMBER 28, 1993 SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST BY DENNIS CHUBA/PUBLIC HEARING, CASE NO. V 93-07 REQUESTED ACTION A 10 foot variance to the required 10 foot side yard parking setback. LOCATION OF REQUEST 317 and 323 Main Street (Lots 1, 2 , and 3, Block 2, Village of Elk River) , Elk River, MN. ZONING/LAND USE C2 (Office District) / CB (Central Business District) ATTACHMENTS • Location Map, Zoning Map, Proposed Site Plan, List of Property Owners ANALYSIS The Chuba Company is proposing to construct an 8, 900 square foot office building at the southeast corner of Freeport Street and Main Avenue. The proposed building would compliment the existing office building immediately to the east, also built by The Chuba Company. The office building is a permitted use in the C2 (Office District) district, therefore, the site plan is being reviewed administratively for compliance with City zoning standards . The concept proposed by Mr. Chuba is a shared parking arrangement between the two office buildings . The proposed parking area would abut the common property line between the two office buildings . Therefore, no setback would be maintained and a variance is required. Employees and customers from each office building will be able to use either parking lot as well as drive from one parking area to the other. From the street, the two office buildings will appear as one development, so the interior setback in this case is not necessary to maintain separation between properties . • The applicant could meet the 10 foot parking setback by shifting the green space adjacent to the building, to the outside of the parking area. However, from a design P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 Variance, Dennis Chuba Page 2 September 28, 1993 • standpoint, the green space along with the sidewalk next to the building, is better served than having the green space on the common property line. RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the application in accordance with Section 900 . 40 and is recommending the Planning Commission approve the 10 foot parking variance based on the following: 1 . LITERAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDINANCE WOULD CAUSE A CHANGE IN PROJECT DESIGN THAT WOULD BE LESS DESIRABLE . 2 . THE PROJECT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE IT IS DEVELOPED BY THE SAME CONTRACTOR AND HAS SHARED FACILITIES AND COMMON SPACE, SUCH AS PARKING. 3 . LITERAL APPLICATION OF PROVISIONS OF THIS ORDINANCE WOULD PREVENT COMPLIMENTING DEVELOPMENTS WITH SHARED PARKING ARRANGEMENTS FROM OCCURRING. 4 . THE VARIANCE WILL NOT BE INJURIOUS OR ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OR NEIGHBORS, AND IS KEEPING WITH THE SPIRIT AND INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE . • 411 rrittl-'VI-S 1 S I . e,,5' kr • 3 I }�_ 52' 1o' h.°+' I,' 151 W (-------- { ,, _ . i.), :?1+' �Jp 4 Q • '.,>_ - -I p-I = � ----3B. pQ { -i II :ill _ r � v_ � \� ITI .361 _ I1( p 9 1n lir, c) • Iff��lllr > > y Z s 481 3y • • r «s: rr ,..,,, a Ait = _A rzi,' II - ..._• ..;4.iflott • ; i s. .:.,Pa et I ,.-1I D •$.a:x14 3 } 14 Z .7 ,I_- D • I ;i I mUnb1 > z v 10� VARIANCE I ALONG THIS PRO ERTY _INE N,.-so,,,c p` 4o, owo r J Noo-o .
