CUP86-6 Permit to construct an addition to the structure at 410 llth Avenue South,
2-3 continued from the July 29, 1986 meeting.

Case No: Hearing to consider an application by Pitt Rolfe for a Conditional Use Permit
CUP86-7 to construct an office building at 7th Street South and Second Avenue.
...., 4-31
Mr. Rolfe appeared and informed the Commission that construction of the
office building had not started because they were unable to lease the
required number of office spaces. Due to financing, they are required to
have 2/3 occupancy before construction is started. They are still working
on the project and ask that the Commission grant the Conditional Use Permit
for the same building that was proposed in August 1984.
Mr. Janke moved and Mr. Kirscht seconded a motion recommending to the Council
approval of a Conditional Use Permit to construct an office building at 7th
Street South and Second Avenue with the Findings of Fact that the structure
is the same building as previously proposed. Motion carried. Mr. Berg
abstained due to arriving late for the discussion.
Case No: Hearing to consider an application by A & J Partnership for a Variance to
VN86-11 park in the front yard setback at the proposed office/warehouse site on
31 - Fifth Street South and Seventh Avenue.
Mr. David Constable, partner, reviewed the proposal with the Commission. He
stated that the parking on the east side of the site would be below grade
with plantings on the perimeter wF�ich would screen the parking in the front
-- yard. He also explained that ingress and egress to the site would be from
Fifth Street. The truck docks will be mainly on the west side of the property.
The loading docks would be enclosed with a minimum use. The building will be
one story, exterior of the building will be Alucabond fascia with 1" insu-
lated glass.
Two residents from the area appeared to inquire about truck traffic on the
site and also on 6th Avenue South, north of 5th Street.
Information from the traffic study indicates an estimated increase of 300
total trips per day. This is an acceptable level of traffic on those streets.
Further study is to be made before construction on the other sites commences.
Mr. Berg move and Mrs. Brandon seconded a motion recommending to the Council
approval of the Variance to allow parking in the front yard setback for the
office/warehouse structure at 5th Street South and 7th Avenue based on the
Findings of Fact: 1) A unique circumstance is present due to the shape of
the lot; 2) The negative impact of the variance will be reduced due to the
fact the building has a 75' minimum setback; 3) elevation will provide
screening of the project. Motion carried unanimously.
-- Case No: Hearing to consider an application by A & J Partnership for a Conditional
CUP86-8 Use Permit to construct an office/warehouse structure at Fifth Street South
391 and Seventh Avenue.
Mr. Kirscht moved and Mrs. Brandon seconded a motion recommending to the

Zoning and Planning Commission meeting of August 26, 1986, continued.

the minimum I-1 requirements; 2) the development meets the requirements
for a Conditional Use Permit; and with the Conditions : 1) Approval by
the Watershed District; 2) Approval by the Fire Marshal ; 3) That the
drainage plan be approved by the Director of Engineering; 4) Sixty feet
of evergreen plantings be added on each side of the plan of the north-
south plantings on the Seventh Avenue perimeter; 5) Plan to incorporate

Motion carried unanimously.
Case No: Hearing to consider an application by Emil Keller of 406 - 16th Avenue North
VN86-10 for a sideyard variance to convert a carport into a garage.
395-625
Mr. Keller reviewed the request with the Commission. Mr. Brinkhaus, neighbor
of the applicant, also stated the needs of the applicant to have an attached
garage due to poor health, other homes in the neighborhood are close to the
lot line, and that he has no objections to the construction.
The Consensus of the Commission was that Mr. Keller needs to find his lot
lines or obtain a survey. Also,consideration should be given to placing the
—
garage in another location rather than granting a variance.
Mr. Kirscht moved and Mr. Janke seconded a motion that the hearing be con-
tinued to the September meeting to give the applicant time to review different
options regarding construction of a garage. Motion carried unanimously.
Case No: Hearing to consider amending Hopkins Zoning Ordinance No. 427.06 pertaining
ZN86-6 to non-conforming uses and non-conforming structures.

� give the HRA the ability to proceed with bonding and funding for projects.
