Resolution 98-488

1. This site plan is for constriction of a 6,000 -square foot retail building, as shown on
plans received by the City on July 2, 1998, except as amended by this resolution.
2. A variance is approved to allow parking spaces/drive aisles within six feet of the
building, based on the finding that the shape of the site and the location of buried
utility lines creates a unique hardship. In addition, the variance allows the building to
be closer to the front property line, which is an objective of the City Center Plan.
3. A variance is approved for a 48 -foot front yard setback, based on the finding that the
shape of the parcel makes efficient utilization of the parcel difficult without the
variance, and that the limited amount of street frontage prevents both buildings from
maintaining the required setback. Moreover, the variance is necessary to achieve
greater structural coverage which is an objective of the City Center Plan.
4. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall revise the landscape plan
to show sugar maples along the boulevard.
5. This resolution approves a Fire Code Variance to the requirement for a fire lane within
50 feet of all sides of the building, as shown on the plans received by the City on July
2, 1998.
6. All wall and freestanding signs shall comply with minimum Zoning Ordinance
requirements, and no sign variances are granted or implied.
7. Covenants regarding cross access and fire access shall be submitted for staff review
and approval and shall be filed with Hennepin County prior to issuance of building
permits.
8. Standard Conditions:
a. Compliance with the City Engineer's Memorandum.
b. Submission of the required Financial Guarantee and Site Performance Agreement
for completion of site improvements within twelve months of the date of this
Resolution.
c. Any subsequent phases or expansions are subject to required reviews and
approvals per ordinance provisions.
d. Prior to the issuance of building permits, compliance with the Ordinance
regarding the location of fire hydrants, fire department connection, fire lanes, and
fire lane signage.
e. An 8 1/2 x I I inch "As Built" Fire Protection Plan shall be submitted prior to the
release or reduction of any site improvement bonds per City Policy.
f. This approval shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property
owner or applicant has substantially started constriction of the project, or unless
the landowner or applicant has received prior approval from the City to extend
the expiration date for up to one additional year, as regulated under Sections
21015.07, 2 103 0. 06 and 21045.09 of the Zoning Ordinance.
