ITEM II- SHAKOPEE MDEWAKANTON SIOUX COMMUNITY- PARKING LOT SITE PLAN REVIEW Bill Rudnicki, Consulting Engineer for the Sioux Community, gave the presentation. Mr. Rudnicki stated that the Sioux Community has purchased approximately 40 acres, formerly the O'Laugghlin property which is west of the reservation. The intent is to install a temporary parking lot. Due to the growth of the gaming industry, parking problems are being experienced. The parking lot would match existing grades, erosion control would be implemented and a 3:1 slope would be maintained. The parking lot would be removed after the new facility is operational. Deb Garross presented the information as per planning report of November 7, 1991. The application from the Mdewakanton Sioux Community is to construct a temporary 304 car parking lot. The parking lot is located in the A -1 Agricultural Zoning District. The Planning Commission does have the authority to grant a variance from the requirements of the Ordinance, as outlined in Section 7.6 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff's recommendation is to approve the variance since it would improve a currently unsafe situation and would not be detrimental to the abutting property owners nor to the public at large and is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. 4629 Dakota St. S.E..
