Genellie, City Clerk �� � T Y O G .c, �� � , y � O � March 31, 1992 p K ` Council Report 92-76 FRONT YARD VARIANCE - EDCO PRODUCTS Proposed Action. Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 92-32 approvincr a front yard setback variance to construct an addition at 845 Excelsior Avenue East The Commission on a 6-0 vote approved Resolution RZ 92-7 recommending approval of a front yard setback variance at 845 Excelsior Avenue East. overview. Edco is proposing to construct an addition to their existing building on Tyler Avenue. This area is zoned I-1 which requires a 20 foot setback abutting Tyler Avenue. The proposed building has a two foot setback. This addition is needed for additional office space. The proposed addition does not have the 20 foot required -� setback. In order to meet the 20 feet requirement the applicant could either request a vacation of Tyler or a variance. Last month the Planning Commission recommended to deny the vacation of Tyler Avenue. The City Council also denied the vacation. The applicant has now applied for a variance. Staff reviewed the request with the Commission. Jerry . Gustafson representing Edco appeared before the Commission. There was very little discussion on this item. Primarv Issues to Consider. o What is the required setback for the building? o Will the City allow parking on the right-of-way? o What is the hardship for the variance? o What alternatives are available if the variance is denied? � Supportinq Documents. o Analysis of Issues o Site Plan o Resolution 92-32 � Nan S. Anderson Plan er CR92-76 Page 2 �� Primary Issues to Consider. o What is the required front yard setback for the building? The required front yard setback for a building in the industrial district is 20 feet. This is a front yard because it abuts a public right-of-way. o Will the City allow parkinq on the right-of-way? With the construction of the addition, Edco is proposing to use a portion of the Tyler right-of-way for parking. The staff proposes the City will execute a right-of-way use agreement for the use of Tyler for parking by Edco. If in the future Tyler Avenue is constructed as a thru street Edco will have to remove this parking. As a condition of this variance the staff is recommending that if the parking area is removed because of the construction of Tyler, the applicant submit a parking plan to show compliance with the zoning requirements. o What is the hardship for the variance? ^ The following are the reasons for the variance: - The unusual lot layout and the various building locations create undue hardship for expansion and development. - The City's intent to retain right-of-way over Tyler, although not used as such for public right- of-way creates, undue hardship for building expansion. o What alternatives are available if the variance is denied? The following are the alternatives available to the applicant if the variance is denied? - revise the design of the building - this is something that has been explored by Edco and has not been acceptable to them - reconsider a street vacation - applicant does not undertake project Alternatives. � 1. By approving the variance, the applicant will be able to construct the proposed addition with a two foot setback. CR92-76 Page 3 --� 2 . By denying the variance, the applicant will not be able to construct the proposed addition. 3 . Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is needed the item should be continued. � �� . � , CITY OF HOPKINS Hennepin County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO: 92-32 RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE WHEREAS, an application for a variance entitled VN 92-1 made by EDCO Products is approved.
