V 93-07
ISSUE
A ten foot variance to the required ten foot side yard parking
setback.
LOCATION
317 and 323 Main Street (Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 2, village of
Elk River), Elk River, Minnesota.
ATTACHMENT
Report to Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS
e
The Chuba Company is proposing to construct an 8,900 square
foot office building at the southeast corner of Freeport Avenue
and Main Street that will compliment the existing office
building immediately to the east. The proposed parking area
between the two buildings would abut the common property line,
infringing upon the required ten foot parking setback.
The concept proposed is a shared parking arrangement between
the two office buildings. Therefore, the interior landscaped
area which typically occurs along the property line would be
relocated adjacent to the building. Parking would then occur
in a central location to serve each office building. Attached
is the report to the Planning Commission which provides
additional information on the requested action.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
variance request. There were no public comments heard at the
public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION
e
It is recommended the City Council
variance to the side yard parking
based on the following findings:
approve the ten foot
setback for Dennis Chuba

REQUESTED ACTION
A 10 foot variance to the required 10 foot side yard parking

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.
e
The applicant could meet
shifting the green space
outside of the parking
the 10 foot parking setback by
adjacent to the building, to the
area. However, from a design

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.
