Guy J. Selinski and Metro Cabinets have applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of an addition to a commercial building on property located in the C-5 (Business Park Use) District at the following location, to wit; 5418A and 5418B Cottonwood Lane SE, legally described as Plat 25313, CIC 1026 Cottonwood, Units 1 and 2, Scott County, Minnesota. 2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in Case #01-066PC and held hearings thereon on September 10, 2001. 3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, the proposed variance will not result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 5. A legal building addition location that meets the required setback for the proposed structure does not exist on the subject lot. The proposed plan design and subject lot shape is such that the hardship has not been created by the applicant. Reasonable use of the property does not exist without the building addition as proposed. 6. There is justifiable hardship caused by the required yard setbacks and building length to height ratio, as reasonable use of the property does not exist without the granting of the variance.

The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 8. The contents of Planning Case 01-066PC are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. CONCLUSION Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the following variances for the proposed building addition to a commercial building as shown in Attachment 1; 1. A variance to permit a structure with a building wall length to height ratio 6.6 to 1, rather than the maximum ratio of 4 to 1. 2. A 7.5 I-foot variance to permit a 42.49-foot structure setback from a property adjoining an arterial road, rather than the minimum required 50-feet. 3. A 3-foot variance to permit a driveway to be setback 3-feet from a side yard property line, rather than the required minimum of 6 feet. The following conditions must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed building addition: 1. The applicant must submit a landscape and screening plan that adheres to all of the requirements under the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The Resolution adopted by the Planning Commission shall be recorded at Scott County within 60 days of the date of approval. Proof of recording shall be submitted to the Planning Department, along with the acknowledged Assent Form prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. Pursuant to Section 1108.400 of the Zoning Ordinance, the variance will be null and void if the necessary permits for the proposed addition are not obtained within one year after the adoption of this Resolution, or by September 24, 2002. Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on September 24, 2001. /Z- 1:\01 fiIes\O 1 variances\01-066\aprvres.doc 2 ';~-~~~0;;'~~R;~;!~3:~~:}1:';~:~ :.:::.:. ~'::~'f 'ATTACHMENT 1 - COu ~7y _, " ...

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 1. Call to Order: Chairman Vonhof called the September 10, 2001, Planning Commission meeting to order at 6:31 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Atwood, Criego, Lemke, Stamson and Vonhof, Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier, Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman and Recording Secretary Connie Carlson. 2. Roll Call: Atwood Criego Lemke Stamson V onhof Present Present Present Present Present 3. Approval of Minutes: The Minutes from the August 27,2001, Planning Commission meeting were approved as presented. Commissioner V onhof read the Public Hearing Statement and opened the meeting. 4. Public Hearings: A. Case Files #01-066/067 EFH Company representing Metro Cabinets Company and American Glass and Mirror is requesting variances to permit structure and driveway setbacks to the property line less than the minimum required, and a building wall length to height ratio greater than the maximum allowed for the property located at 5418 Cottonwood Lane. Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report dated September 10, 2001, on file in the office of the Planning Department. The Planning Department received an application for variances to allow the construction of an addition to the existing commercial building on the property located at 5418 Cottonwood Lane, addressed as Units A & B. The applicants are EFH, Co. (contractor), Metro Cabinets Company (owner), and American Glass & Mirror Company (owner). The following variances are requested: 1. A variance to permit a structure with a building wall length to height ratio of 6.6: 1 rather than the maximum ratio of 4: 1. 2. A 7.51-foot variance to permit a 42.49-foot structure setback from a property line adjoining an arterial road rather than the minimum required 50-feet. L:\Ol fiIes\Ol plancomm\Ol pcminutes\MN09l OOl.doc 1 { Planning Commission Minutes September 10,2001 3. A 3-foot variance to permit a driveway/parking area to be setback 3-feet from a side property line, rather than the minimum required 6 feet. In the narrative submitted by the applicants, they are proposing the additions for various reasons. These include business growth, insufficient space for assembly, product storage, and the larger equipment and vehicles that require more space to maneuver in and out of overhead doors, and more area to serve the public. In 1995, applicant Guy Selinski, American Glass & Mirror, applied for and received a 7- foot variance to expand the driveway/parking area to within 3-feet ofthe east lot line, Unit B. The current ordinance only requires a minimum 6-foot driveway setback and is the reason for the accompanying 3-foot variance request. The Planning staffhas determined the variance requests for the building setback and height to length ratio do not meet the nine hardship criteria, since it is a business decision to expand the existing building due to economic growth and the need for additional space for storage of materials and production capabilities. The applicant can redesign the addition to meet the required setback with a 20-foot addition. However, the existing building already exceeds the maximum ratio of length to height, as the building wall is 18-feet high and 89 feet long (4.9 to 1 ratio). Therefore, the addition would also need to be redesigned with a minimum 6.6-foot break (4.9 feet plus 1.7 feet). Staff recommended denial of the first two requests. In regards to variance request number three, when the existing building was constructed, the City Code required the overhead loading doors be located in the side yards, because the side yards do not have enough depth to allow large commercial vehicles to maneuver through the doors. With the new addition designed to meet setbacks and a break in the building wall of 6.6 feet this would eliminate the need for the driveway setback variance as the recessed wall adds another 6.6 feet area for driveway. Staff also recommended denial of this variance request, as it does not meet the nine hardship criteria. Comments from the public: Applicant Guy Selinski, American Glass & Mirror, requested approval of the variances and explained how he felt staffs proposal would not meet their business growth. They need wider overhead doors to get larger vehicles indoor for loading. They definitely feel the need for a 30 foot addition. The setback issue is only for part ofthe building. Selinski pointed out how County Road 21 slants. The ratio of building height to length was not an issue when the building was constructed with the intention to expand. Mike Whalen, EFH Company, stated they were the original contractors for the building. Whalen explained why the building was constructed the way it was with the only expansion towards the back. They need the 30 feet to get the trucks in. Lemke questioned the width of the overhead door. Whalen responded it is 12 feet now and will expand to 14 feet. L:\Ol files\Ol plancomm\Ol pcminutes\MN091 OOI.doc 2 .' Planning Commission Minutes September 10,2001 Applicant Tim Simmon, owner of Metro Cabinets, said he has doubled in size since they have been in the business park. Another concern is safety. The applicants did work with staff at the time of construction. Simmon explained the runoff problems. The only way they can expand is north toward County Road 21. The floor was closed for public comment. Comments from the Commissioners: Lemke: . Staff did a good job putting the report together. . Believe the City needs to be as friendly as possible to the business so they grow and flourish. . Supported all three variance requests. Criego: . Questioned applicant why the asphalt has been added around the perimeter of the structure. Selinski responded it was for additional employee parking. . Questioned the asphalt on the west side. Simmon responded it was just to get into the building. . The asphalt on the northeast side is also for parking. Horsman said the parking meets current code. . Questioned staff on the original location of the overhead doors and if the ordinance changed. Horsman responded it met the code at the time. The new Zoning Ordinance limits the length to height ratio. . Was that ordinance for commercial and/or residential? Horsman said it was for commercial. . Would love to see the Prior Lake businesses grow in the community. . Did not have a problem with the height/length ratio nor the 6.6 foot indenture ratio. . Has a problem with the street variance not being met. Stamson: . Questioned staff if there are any practical problems with the 50 foot area. Horsman responded that no easements are shown on the survey. It appears the addition would be set back a considerable distance to meet code. . As far as the 50 foot setback goes, there really isn't a practical reason for 50 feet as a setback cutoff point. The hardship is the uniqueness by the county road requiring the 50 foot setback. . The building was constructed prior to the current code with the intention of expanding. The City revised the codes and made it difficult for the applicant. That is the uniqueness of the property and not necessarily city-wide. . The alternative is to move. It would be difficult to relocate in the area. The hardship is that there is no commercial property. . Using the 50 foot setback as rationale - the hardship criteria has been met. L:\Olfiles\Ol plancomm\Ol pcminutes\MN091 OOI.doc 3 ~ Planning Commission Minutes September 10.2001 . Do not have a problem with the other two variances. . The height/length ratio ordinance in an industrial district should be discussed. . Pass variances. Atwood: . Agreed with Commissioner Stamson. The expansion plans were prior to the rules and regulations. That is the hardship. . Not concerned with the setbacks to the buildings on either side. . Inclined to let it go. It is reasonable. . Questioned the interior openings. Horsman explained the firewall and separation of buildings. V onhof: . Concurred with fellow Commissioners. . Was on the Commission when this building was constructed and can speak on the rationale for the doors on the side. This is a business park that backs up to a county road. The concern at the time was having people coming into the community viewing those buildings. Those two factors create a hardship in the design. . Concurred with Commissioners the building wall in a business park is not as significant as a residential district. . The setback from the county road is only 7.5 feet at the maximum point. . Regarding the streetscape coming into the community, there should be adequate screening and landscaping.

Case file #01-075 John Teilborg is requesting variances to permit a structure to be setback less than the minimum required 75 feet from the Ordinary-High- Water Mark; and a setback less than the minimum required front yard using setback averaging; and a variance to perniit road access less than the minimum required for the property located at 1~358 Rutgers Street. Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented the Planning Report dated September 10, 2001, on file in the office of the Planning Department. The Planning Department received a variance application from John & Lorraine Teilborg for the construction of a single family dwelling with attached garage to replace an existing dwelling on the subject lot located at 14358 Rutgers Street. The applicant has proposed a building plan and site location and requests the following variances: . L:\Olfiles\Olplancomm\OI pcminutes\MN091 OOI.doc 4 Planning Commission Meeting September 24,2001 #'. . Agreed with Stamson, there should be consistency with the districts regarding the carwashes. It would be possible, especially with gas stations, which are adjacent to residential areas. Something could be done. . Don't know if its better to regulate the hours or maintain the doors be closed all the time. Noise is a continual condition. Open Discussion and comments: (regarding carwashes) . Most carwashes now have to open the back door to be air-dried. . Most gas stations are along Highway 13. Between 6:00 a.m. and 11 :30 p.m., the traffic and noise levels are going to be higher, the carwash noise is not going to be significantly contributing to that. . Do not like the doors being shut. Liked Lemke's suggestion of mitigating the distance from a residential district. . There is a design that keeps the dryer inside the carwash. . How to police? . Questioned staff if there have been complaints from the Cl District. Rye said there were none, it came from a C4 district. . All agreed there should be some regulation. . Limit the hours of open doors. . Hard to speculate what will happen. . Really only applies to 2 stations in Prior Lake. . Table to next session and contact the stations and explain the problem and see if they have a solution that would work. They may have additional information. . Other cities have varying regulations to their ordinances. There is no standard language.

Zoning Administrator Steve Horsman presented Resolution 01-015PC as directed by the Planning Commission at the September 10,2001 meeting. Stamson clarified the variance requiring a paved driveway. The concern was the applicant would leave the patio and return. to a dirt driveway. We want to avoid that situation. Horsman responded the driveway ordinance regulates a Class 5 action. Allison Gontarek, representing the applicant, asked to be recognized. Chairman V onhof stated the public hearing was closed. MOTION BY STAMSON, SECOND BY LEMKE, RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 01-11PC. Discussion: Criego said he did not vote for this the last time based on the 36% impervious surface. Although the Commission felt the property should have a driveway and a reduced sidewalk. The applicant at the time was not prepared to reduce the impervious surface as much as the Commission wanted him to. Questioned the intent to have a driveway with normal curb entrance to a three ~ar garage or only provide concrete to a two car garage. ! Stamson responded his initial Motion was for staff to determine the impervious surface percentage. The intent was for a three car garage. The issue was to redraft and not delay another two weeks. Horsman responded it would be very difficult to get pavement to the third car garage with the 36% impervious surface. Rye stated the original Motion should be modified to be consistent with the Resolution.

EFH, Co., Metro Cabinets and American Glass & Mirror Company have applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of an addition to a commercial building on property located in the C-5 (Business Park Use) District at the following location, to wit; 5418A and 5418B Cottonwood Lane SE, legally described as Plat 25313, CIC 1026 Cottonwood, Units 1 and 2, Scott County, Minnesota. 2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in Case #Ol-066PC and held hearings thereon on September 10,2001. 3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fIre, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, the proposed variance will not result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fIre, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 5. A legal building addition location that meets the required setback for the proposed structure does not exist on the subject lot. The proposed plan design and subject lot shape is such that the hardship has not been created by the applicant. Reasonable use of the property does not exist without the building addition as proposed. 6. There is justifIable hardship caused by the required yard setbacks and building length to height ratio, as reasonable use of the property does not exist without the granting of the variance. . 1:\01 files\O 1 variances\O 1-066\aprvres.doc I 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 8. The contents of Planning Case 01-066PC are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. CONCLUSION Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the following variances for the proposed building addition to a commercial building as shown in Attachment 1; 1. A variance to permit a structure with a building wall length to height ratio 6.6 to 1, rather than the maximum ratio of 4 to 1. 2. A 7.51-foot variance to permit a 42.49-foot structure setback from a property adjoining an arterial road, rather than the minimum required 50-feet. 3. A 3-foot variance to permit a driveway to be setback 3-feet from a side yard property line, rather than the required minimum of 6 feet. The following conditions must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed building addition: 1. The applicant must submit a" landscape and screening plan that adheres to all of the requirements under the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The Resolution adopted by the Planning Commission shall be recorded at Scott County within 60 days of the date of approval. Proof of recording shall be submitted to the Planning Department, along with the acknowledged Assent Form prior to issuance of a building permit. 3. Pursuant to Section 1108.400 of the Zoning Ordinance, the variance will be null and void if the necessary permits for the proposed addition are not obtained within one year after the adoption of this Resolution, or by September 24, 2002. Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on September 24, 2001. Thomas E. V onhof, Commission Chair ATIEST: Donald R. Rye, Planning Director . 1:\01 files\O 1 variances\O 1-066\aprvres.doc 2 AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: SITE: PRESENTER: REVIEWED BY: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: INTRODUCTION: PLANNING REPORT 4A CONSIDER VARIANCES TO THE MAXIMUM BUILDING WALL LENGTH TO BUILDING HEIGHT RATIO; STRUCTURE SETBACK TO PROPERTY LINE; AND DRIVEWAY/PARKING SETBACK TO PROPERTY LINE; FOR A NEW ADDITION TO AN EXISTING BUILDING IN THE C-5 DISTRICT (Case File #01-066) 5418 COTTONWOOD LANE SE, UNITS A & B STEVE HORSMAN, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR _X_ YES NO SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 The Planning Department received an application for variances to allow the construction of an addition to the existing commercial building on the property located at 5418 Cottonwood Lane, and addressed as Units A & B. The applicants are EFH, Co. (contractor), Metro Cabinets Company (owner), and American Glass & Mirror Company (owner). The following variances are requested: 1. A variance to permit a structure with a building wall length to height ratio of 6.6:1 rather than the maximum ratio of 4:1 (City Code Section 1107 .2202, ~8,b). 2. A 7.51-foot variance to permit a 42.49-foot structure setback from a property line adjoining an arterial road rather than the minimum required 50-feet (1102.1406: Required Setbacks). 3. A 3-foot variance to permit a driveway/parking area to be setback 3-feet from a side property line, rather than the minimum required 6 feet (1102.1406: Required Setbacks). DISCUSSION: The property was originally platted in 1992 as Lot 1, Block 1, Waterfront Passage Addition. In 1995, the subject property was platted as a condominium through 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Scott County Land Records as Plat 25313 CIC 1026 Cottonwood. This permits one building on two separate parcels with two property owners. Metro Cabinets Company owns unit 1, and Guy & Mary Selinski owns unit 2 and has the business American Glass & Mirror, Inc. The parcel line runs down the center of the building with both owners having equal shares of the one structure. The original building was constructed in 1995 under Building Permit 95-341. (Attachment 1 - Certificate of Survey). The property owners have hired EFH, Co. to submit the variance application and to construct the addition. The proposed addition consists of white architectural precast concrete panels to match the materials and design of the existing structure (Attachment 2 - Exterior Elevations/Site Plan). The proposed building material does not meet today's requirements for new structures, but is permitted for additions to existing buildings under City Code [ Sec. 1102.1407 (2) Additions and Alterations]. The proposed addition is located on the north side of the existing building. It is 119.9' wide by 30' deep by 18' high. The building addition is setback 42.49' from the property line that adjoins the County Road 21 right-of-way and requires a 7.51-foot variance. The driveway/parking area additions are proposed for both parcels and are 3' from the west property line and 3' from the east property line. The proposed addition wall when added to the existing wall does not meet the maximum building length to height ratio of 4: 1. Section 1107 .2202, ~8,b, of the Zoning Ordinance states "no unbroken building wall may exceed a 4:1 ratio of wall length to wall height, and each building deviation at the 4:1 ratio shall be a minimum depth of 4 feet." The west and east walls of the existing building are 89-feet and when added to the 30-foot addition totals 119-feet. With a building wall height of 18-feet this creates a length to height ratio of 6.6 to 1. In the narrative submitted by the applicants, they are proposing the additions for various reasons. These include business growth, insufficient space for assembly, product storage, and the larger equipment and vehicles that require more space to maneuver in and out of overhead doors, and more area to serve the public (Attachment 3 - Applicant Narratives). It should also be noted that conditions for a variance approval include landscape and buffer areas, and no outdoor storage of equipment or dumpsters without providing screening from public view. If the Planning Commission decides to grant a variance it should include conditions, one of which is to complete all missing landscaping and to add additional landscaping/screening for the proposed building addition, outdoor equipment and trash dumpsters (Attachment 4 - Landscape Plan). 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 2 This request was referred to applicable City departments and utility companies for comment. The City Building Department noted that no interior openings are allowed on the common wall between parcel 1 and parcel 2. The City Engineering Department commented that proposed additions to the bituminous driveway encroach into the 10 foot drainage and utility easements on both side lot lines. Integra Telecom, noted that paving over the drainage and utility easement creates problems if any utility needs to replace or repair lines. Finally, in 1995, applicant Mr. Guy Selinski, American Glass & Mirror, applied for and received a 7 -foot variance to expand the driveway/parking area to within 3- feet of the east lot line, Unit B. The current ordinance only requires a minimum 6-foot driveway setback and is the reason for the accompanying 3 foot variance request (Attachment 5 - Variance 95-42 Minutes/Exhibit). VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS 1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located. The existing lot can accommodate a revised and scaled down building addition without the setback variance (20 ft. versus 30 ft.). The wall addition could be redesigned with a minimum 6.6-foot recessed break from the existing wall in order to meet the 4: 1 building length to height ratio. By recessing the new wall addition 6.6-feet there appears to be enough room for the driveway area to provide sufficient area to turn larger commercial vehicles at the existing angles (the variance requested was for 7 feet of area). 2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply, generally, The conditions that apply are not peculiar to the property or adjoining property, and do apply, generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the land is located. There appears to be a legal alternative for a redesigned addition that meets code requirements. 3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner. 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 3 By redesigning the configuration of the addition, it can be built without granting the three requested variances. 4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. The granting of the variances will not impair the supply of light and air to the adjacent property. The addition will not significantly impact the public streets or endanger public safety. 5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area, or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area. The purpose of the maximum length to height ratio is to lessen the impact of the bulk of a large building on the adjacent property. Staff is of the opinion that granting this variance will impact the character of the neighborhood. 6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. The granting of these variances is contrary to the intent of the Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan, which is to provide orderly development and prevent over crowding of land and undue concentration of structures in relation to the land surrounding them. 7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue hardship or difficulty. The proposed addition can be redesigned to eliminate the need for all three variances. The granting of these variances is not necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship existing today, but for the proposed future addition. 8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of the owners of the property. The variances would not be necessary with a redesign of the addition. 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 4 9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance. The applicant has indicated the variances are based on economic hardship as the economic growth has created the need to expand the existing building. Redesigning the addition will eliminate the need for the variances. RECOMMENDA liON: The Planning staff has determined that the variance requests for the building setback and height to length ratio do not meet the nine hardship criteria, since it is a business decision to expand the existing building due to economic growth and the need for additional space for storage of materials and production capabilities. The applicant can redesign the addition to meet the required setback with a 20-foot addition. However, the existing building already exceeds the maximum ratio of length to height, as the building wall is 18-feet high and 89 feet long (4.9 to 1 ratio). Therefore, the addition would also need to be redesigned with a minimum 6.6-foot break (4.9 feet plus 1.7 feet). The staff therefore recommends denial of the first two requests. In regards to variance request number three, when the existing building was constructed, the City Code required the overhead loading doors be located in the side yards, and because the side yards do not have enough depth to allow large commercial vehicles to maneuver through the doors. With the new addition designed to meet setbacks and a break in the building wall of 6.6 feet this would eliminate the need for the driveway setback variance as the recessed wall adds another 6.6 feet area for driveway. Staff also recommends denial of this variance request, as it does not meet the nine hardship criteria. If the Planning Commission finds the request meets the hardship criteria, the staff would recommend the Commission require screening of the building and parking lot as conditions of approval. AL lERNA liVES: 1. Approve the variance requested by the applicant, or approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. In this case, the Planning Commission should direct staff to prepare a resolution with findings approving the variances requested. 2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. 3. Deny the application because the Planning Commission finds a lack of demonstrated hardship under the zoning code criteria. 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 5 ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second adopting Resolution 01-015PC denying variances to minimum building setback; and to the maximum building wall length to height ratio; and minimum driveway/parking area setback; for the addition to the existing building as shown on Attachment 1. 1:\01 files\01 variances\01-066\01-066pc.doc Page 6 RESOLUTION 01-015PC A RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT A STRUCTURE WITH A BUILDING WALL LENGTH TO HEIGHT RATIO OF 6.6 TO 1, RATHER THAN THE MAXIMUM RATIO OF 4 TO 1; AND, A 7.51-FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A 42.49- FOOT STRUCTURE SETBACK FROM A PROPERTY LINE ADJOINING AN ARTERIAL ROAD RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM 50-FEET; AND, A 3 FOOT VARIANCE TO PERMIT A DRIVEWAYIPARKING AREA SETBACK OF 3 FEET FROM A SIDE PROPERTY LINE RATHER THAN THE REQUIRED MINIMUM 6 FEET BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota; FINDINGS 1. EFH, Co.; Metro Cabinets; and, American Glass & Mirror Company, have applied for variances from the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit the construction of an addition to a commercial building on property located in the C-5 (Business Park Use) District at the following location, to wit; 5418A and 5418B Cottonwood Lane SE, legally described as Plat 25313, CIC 1026 Cottonwood, Units 1 and 2, Scott County, Minnesota. 2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in Case #01-066PC and held hearings thereon on September 10, 2001. 3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fIre, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, the proposed variance will result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, umeasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fIre, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 5. A legal building addition location that meets the required setback for the structure exists on the subject lot. The applicant has control over the plan design and shape, such that the hardship created has been created by the applicant. Reasonable use of the property exists without the building addition as proposed. 6. There is no justifIable hardship caused by the required yard setbacks and building length to height ratio, as reasonable use of the property exists without the granting of the variance. 1:\01 files\O 1 variances\O 1-066\dnyres.doc 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. The factors above allow for an alternative structure to be permitted with a reduced variance or none at all. 8. The contents of Planning Case 01-066PC are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. CONCLUSION Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby denies the following variances for a future building addition to a commercial building as shown in Attachment 1; 1. A variance to permit a structure with a building wall length to height ratio 6.6 to 1, rather than the maximum ratio of 4 to 1. 2. A 7.51-foot variance to permit a 42.49-foot structure setback from a property adjoining an arterial road, rather than the minimum required 50-feet. 3. A 3-foot variance to permit a driveway/parking area to be setback 3-feet from a side yard property line, rather than the required minimum of 6 feet.

Prior Lake, MN 55372 RE: Metro Cabinets Variance Application Review Dear Mr. Horsman: Metro Cabinets is applying for a variance to the existing building setback of 50' on the north side and the parking setback of 10' on the west property line. We are requesting a variance of approximately 2' to 7' along the north building setback due to the proposed addition. This will require a 7' parking setback variance to access the proposed addition along the west property line. This addition is necessary due to the increase in business and our desire to serve our clients efficiently. Our existing facility does not permit our employees sufficient space for assembly and storage of product until delivery. It is anticipated that this addition will satisfy current and future needs for our business. The variances are needed due to the current ordinance of no overhead doors facing Cottonwood Lane. Our business is cabinet making and wood products and has grown substantially over the past few years with the economy. Our location serves our customer base well and is central to our client base. Our location also offers the ability for walk-in traffic with our signage on County Road 21. Our original design was based upon previous conversations with Prior Lake staff that made it clear there would be no variance for doors facing Cottonwood Lane. Therefore, we designed a building that we felt would satisfy our current and future needs as we are going from 2,500 sf to 5,400 sf. With the changing demands of the client, we have had to update equipment and are not able to fit our vehicle into our building to load and unload material at present. We need this ability as our products are sensitive to temperature and weather. Our new addition will allow Metro Cabinets to handle product efficiently and serve existing and future customers. The addition will match the existing building with the white double liT" precast exterior and is maintenance free. Please call me with any questions. I am submitting this letter to be included with our variance application that you have already received. SinCereIY:~ ~ Tim Sinnen Glass & Mirror Inc. P.O. Box 542 5418 Cottonwood Lane, S.E.

Prior Lake, MN 55372 RE: American Glass & Mirror Inc. Variance Application Review Dear Mr. Horsman: American Glass & Mirror (along with Metro Cabinets) is applying for a variance to the existing setback of 50' and the parking setback of 10'. As our business has grown, it has been increasingly necessary to invest in larger vehicles with glass racks on both sides. The doors and driveways are not wide enough to allow these vehicles to pull into our building to permit safe loading of glass. The increase in business also requires a larger building to serve the needs of the public. Because of economies of scale, the minimum addition that would make sense is 30 feet (1800 square feet). When we bought this lot and designed this building, Roger Gannett, then a consultant to the city, told us that we would be able to put an addition on of up to 2400 square feet. The lot shape angles in toward the west approximately 9 feet. So on the east side of the lot our expansion plan does not encroach on the setbacks, on the west side it encroaches approximately 7 feet. We believe that granting of this variance will not in any way negatively impact the character and development of the surrounding neighborhood nor diminish their value. The granting of this variance will also not impact the traffic and congestion in the area. When designing our building we were told that we would not be allowed to design it with the doors facing the front. Had we been allowed to, we would have been able to move the building forward on our lot and then would have had plenty of room in the rear to expand. Since construction of our building, another building in the business park has been constructed with door facing the street. We urge you to grant this variance and allow our businesses to continue to grow in our community Sincerely, A. ~~ GUy1'linske Amencan Glass & Mirror Inc. 8 ". ~ I OSED -4. EYE~EN& - FOI< ~.

RESOLUTION 9540PC A RESOLUTION GRANTING A VARIANCE TO PERMIT A SIDE YARD SETBACK OF 3 FEET ON THE EAST INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED 10 FEET FOR THE MODIFICATION OF A DRIVE AISLE ON PROPERTY IN THE BP-BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT AT 5418 COTTONWOOD LANE SE. BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota; FINDINGS 1. Guy and Mary Selinske have applied for a variance from Section 6.15 of the Zoning Ordinance in order to permit modification of a drive aisle on property located in the BP-Business Park district at the following location, to wit; 5418 Cottonwood Lane SE., legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Waterfront Passage Addition, Scott County, Minnesota. 2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variance as contained in Case #V A9542 and held hearings thereon on December 11, 1995. 3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variances on the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 5. The special conditions applying to the subject property are unique to such property, and do not generally apply to other land in the district in which such land is located. Among the conditions applying to the subject property which the Board of Adjustment relied upon are its narrowness. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E.. Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNIlY EMPLOYER 6. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 7. The contents of Planning Case V A95-42 are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. Pursuant to Section 5-6-8 of the Ordinance Code these variances will be deemed to be abandoned, and thus will be null and void one (1) year from the date of approval if the holder of the variance has failed to obtain any necessary, required or appropriate permits for the completion of contemplated improvements. CONCLUSION Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby grants and approves the following variances; 1. A variance to permit a side yard setback on the East of 3 feet instead of the required 10 feet. These variances are granted with the following terms and conditions; 1. The improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the site plan submitted by the applicant, and attached hereto as Exhibit A. Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on December 11, 1995.
