Call to Order: Chairman Stamson called the December 8, 2003, Planning Commission meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Those present were Commissioners Atwood, Lemke, Perez, Ringstad and Stamson, Community Development Director Don Rye, Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier, Planner Cynthia Kirchoff and Recording Secretary Connie Carlson. 2. Roll Call: Atwood Lemke Perez Ringstad Stamson Present Present Present Present Present 3. Approval of Minutes: The Minutes from the 2003, Planning Commission meeting were approved as presented. 4. Consent: None 5. Public Hearings: Commissioner Stamson read the Public Hearing Statement and opened the meeting. A. The City of Prior Lake is requesting a Variance from the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls for Hollywood Bar and Grill located at 16701 Toronto Avenue SE (Case File 03-142). Planner Cynthia Kirchoffpresented the Planning Report dated December 8, 2003, on file in the office of the City Planning Department. The City of Prior Lake is requesting a Variance from the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls for Hollywood Bar and Grill located at 16701 Toronto Avenue SE. In order to configure the new "ring road", the City needs to acquire right-of-way, thus the following Variance is required: A 67 stall Variance from the 154 off-street parking stalls requiredfor Hollywood Bar and Grill (Section 1107.307 Off-Street Parkingfor Commercial Uses.). The property is zoned C-4 (General Business) and is guided C-CC (Community Retail Shopping) in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is unplatted. Access to the site is gained via Toronto Avenue and from Franklin Trail via a roadway easement. Hollywood Bar and Grill was constructed in 1960. The site currently has 87 parking L:\03 Files\03 Planning Comm\03pcMinutes\MN120803.doc 1 Planning Commission Meeting December 8, 2003 stalls, which includes 17 stalls on Toronto Avenue. The provided number of parking stalls is nonconforming. The City of Prior Lake is acquiring right-of-way for the extension of the ring road project. On the Hollywood site, the right-of-way takes a portion of the southeast comer of the property. The acquisition will preclude Hollywood from constructing additional parking to bring the site closer to compliance with minimum standards. The Zoning Ordinance provides that such action is sufficient grounds to meet the hardship criteria to grant a Variance. Staff believed the nine hardship criteria had been met. The site already maintains nonconforming parking and the right-of-way acquisition will reduce lot area and preclude the installation or construction of additional parking. Therefore the government action constitutes a sufficient basis to meet the hardship criteria to grant the Variance, pursuant to Section 1107.2303 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance. If the property owner decides to sell one of the two businesses, and a separate parcel would be created, the issue of nonconforming parking would have been resolved. Staff therefore recommended approval of the Variance. Comments from the public: David Knodell, P.O. 99, Hamel, MN 55340, representing Bealemake Partners LLC, the owner of the properties explained the next variance request is also property owned by Bealemake and are viewing them as one. Knodell said basically they are appreciative of staff s actions on these matters on both variances. He went on to say they wanted to alert the City they are still viewing the Mall and Hollywood and final renovation plans are not yet complete. The final determination of tenants is not yet known and it is conceivable they may have to revisit issue of variances once they have a better handle on the final plans. Knodell again stressed they are appreciative of the City's application with the vanances. The public hearing was closed. Comments from the Commissioners: Ringstad: . The City and Property owners are in favor of this application. . All nine criteria hardships have been met. . Approve. Atwood, Lemke, Perez, Stamson: . All Agreed. . The City taking property is a hardship and not created by the property owner. All criteria have been met. L:\03 Files\03 Planning Comm\03pcMinutes\MNI20803.doc 2 Planning Commission Meeting December 8, 2003 MOTION BY RINGSTAD, SECOND BY LEMKE, ADOPTING RESOLUTION 03- 15PC APPROVING THE 64 PARKING ST ALL VARIANCE FOR THE HOLLYWOOD BAR AND GRILL. Vote indicated ayes by all. MOTION CARRIED. Stamson explained the appeal process. B. The City of Prior Lake is requesting a Variance from the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls for Priordale Mall located at 16760 Toronto Avenue SE (Case File 03-143). Planner Cynthia Kirchoff presented the Planning Report dated December 8, 2003, on file in the office of the City Planning Department. The City of Prior Lake is requesting a Variance from the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls for Priordale Mall located at 16760 Toronto Avenue SE. In order to configure the new "ring road", the City needs to acquire right-of-way, therefore the following Variance is required: A 39 stall Variance from the 426 off-street parking stalls requiredfor Priordale Mall (Section 1107.307 Off-Street Parkingfor Commercial Uses.). The property is zoned C-4 (General Business) and is guided C-CC (Community Retail Shopping) in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is unplatted. Access to the site is gained via Toronto Avenue. Priordale Mall was constructed in 1971. Its current use is a multi-tenant shopping center with the possibility of approximately 519 parking stalls. The City of Prior Lake is acquiring right-of-way for the extension of the ring road project. The right-of-way extends through the Priordale Mall property and removes 132 potential parking stalls, making the number of parking stalls fewer than that required by the Zoning Ordinance. The nonconformity being created by government action, the Zoning Ordinance provides that such action provides sufficient grounds to meet the hardship criteria to grant a Variance. Based on the findings, Staff recommended approval of the Variance. Comments from the public: Attorney David Knodell, representing Bealemake Partners LLC, stated they were appreciative of the City's efforts on this matter. He has not seen the variance report and documents and was unsure of some of the figures and there could be issues on the parking stall requirements. Again, they may have to revisit the variance issue after Mnal plans have been made. The public hearing was closed.

Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: SITE ADDRESS: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: PUBLIC HEARING: DATE: CASE FILE: I. INTRODUCTION PLANNING REPORT 5A CONSIDER AN OFF-STREET PARKING VARIANCE FOR HOLLYWOOD BAR AND GRILL 16760 TORONTO AVENUE SE CYNTHIA KIRCHOFF, AICP, PLANNER JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR X YES NO-N/A DECEMBER 8, 2003 03-142 The City of Prior Lake is requesting a Variance from the minimum number of required off-street parking stalls for Hollywood Bar and Grill located at 16701 Toronto Avenue SE (S % of Section 2, Township 114, Range 22). In order to configure the new "ring road" shown on Attachment 3, the City needs to acquire right-of-way, thus the following Variance is required: 1. A 67 stall Variance from the 154 off-street parking stalls required for Hollywood Bar and Grill (Section 1107.307 Off-Street Parking for Commercial Uses.). II. BACKGROUND The property is zoned C-4 (General Business) and is guided C-CC (Community Retail Shopping) in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is unplatted. Access to the site is gained via Toronto Avenue and from Franklin Trail via a roadway easement. Hollywood Bar and Grill was constructed in 1960. The site currently has 87 parking stalls, which includes 17 stalls on Toronto Avenue. The provided number of parking stalls is nonconforming. In 2000, the City approved plans for a ring road that connects Franklin Trail to TH 13. The first phase, constructed in 2002, is the primary access for Park Nicollet Clinic and Keystone Communities. The second phase connects the first phase to Duluth Avenue. And the third phase connects Duluth Avenue to TH 13. The City L:\03 Files\03 Variances\Hollywood\~bmPrlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 1 plans to construct both the second and third phases during the summer of 2004. In order to construct the road, the City must acquire property from Hollywood Bar and Grill and Priordale Mall, both of which are presently under common ownership. The proposed roadway extends through Hollywood's parking lot south of the building, but does not remove any existing parking. However, the right-of-way acquisition does preclude Hollywood from installing additional parking on the property when it is already nonconforming, thus necessitating this Variance application. III. DISCUSSION A. Proposal The right-of-way will take approximately 1,100 square feet (or an area equal to 6 parking stalls) of the southeast corner of the property. While the ring road right- of-way acquisition will not eliminate parking stalls per se, it will reduce the overall lot area, and potential for installing additional parking to bring the site closer to being in compliance with minimum ordinance requirements. In conjunction with the road construction, the City intends vacate the Toronto Avenue road easement. The site will continue to have access from TH 13, and will gain a new access from the ring road in the existing location of Toronto Avenue. B. Required Off-Street Parking Section 1107.304 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 off-street parking space for each 50 square feet of gross floor area for restaurants that serve liquor. Based upon this standard, 154 stalls are required. Hollywood currently has 87 stalls, including the 17 in the Toronto Avenue easement. Thus, the site is deficient 67 parking stalls. c. Non-conformity as a Result of Government Action Section 1107.2303 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance provides that "if a governmental body takes land by exercise of its right of eminent domain and by that taking creates a parcel which does not conform to the width, area, or yard requirements of this Ordinance, the non-conforming parcel shall become a legal non- conformity and may be used thereafter only by complying with the provisions of this section, however, such a legal non-conformity is exempt from the amortization provisions as contained in this Ordinance. The same non- conforming status of the non-conforming parcel will result if the governmental body acquired the land by negotiation rather than by condemnation." Moreover, ".. .property which becomes a legal non-conformity as the result of a governmental taking applies for a variance to reinstate the legal status to the L:\03 Files\03 Variances\Hollywood\PC Report.doc 2 property, the governmental taking shall constitute a hardship for the purpose of the variance." IV. ANALYSIS A. Variance Hardship Findings Section 1108.406 states that the Board of Adjustment may grant a Variance from the strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, provided that: 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. Finding: The right-of-way acquisition reduces the lot area, which precludes Hollywood from constructing additional parking to bring the site closer to compliance with minimum off-street parking standards. 2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply, generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the land is located. Finding: This property is unique in that government action takes a portion for the right-of-way and eliminates the possibility of Hollywood constructing additional parking on the site. 3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner. Finding: The Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right because it is reducing the lot area, and eliminating the possibility of installing additional parking stalls on the site. 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. Finding: The Variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase danger of fire, or endanger the public safety. L:\03 Files\03 Variances\Hollywood\PC Report.doc 3 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. Finding: The Variance will not unreasonably impact the character and development of the neighborhood because the nonconforming parking situation currently exists. 6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. Finding: The Variance will not be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 1107.2303 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance provides a sufficient basis to meet the hardship criteria and grant a Variance when the nonconformity is a result of government action. 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. Finding: This Variance will not serve as a convenience, but is necessary because the right-of-way acquisition will eliminate the opportunity for Hollywood to construct additional parking on the property. 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. Finding: Section 1107.2303 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance provides that a non- conformity as a result of government action constitutes sufficient grounds to meet the hardship criteria to a grant a Variance. 9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance. Finding: Increased development or construction costs are not associated with this Variance. Staff believes the nine hardship criteria have been met. Since the site already maintains nonconforming parking, the right-of-way acquisition will reduce lot area and further exacerbate the nonconformity of the site by precluding the installation of additional parking. Thus, the government action constitutes a sufficient basis to meet the hardship criteria to grant the Variance, pursuant to Section 1107.2303 (3) of the Zoning Ordinance. This L:\03 Files\03 Variances\Hollywood\PC Report.doc 4 ordinance was specifically enacted to address a situation such as this - when government action that impairs the use and enjoyment of property. Section 1107.2303 (3) is not inconsistent with 1108.406 of the Zoning Ordinance, which provides criteria for the Board of Adjustment to grant Variances. The necessity of Section 1107.2303 (3) is to address instances such as this -when government action intensifies a non-conformity. The mischief to be remedied is to ensure that government action does not impair the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right. And the object to be attained is to mitigate any problems associated with the government action. V. CONCLUSION The City of Prior Lake is acquiring right-of-way for the extension of the ring road project. On the Hollywood site, the right-of-way takes a portion of the southeast corner of the property. The property is already nonconforming, in terms of provided parking on the site. The acquisition will preclude Hollywood from constructing additional parking to bring the site closer to compliance with minimum standards. Therefore, the nonconformity is intensified by the government action, and the Zoning Ordinance provides that such action is sufficient grounds to meet the hardship criteria to grant a Variance. Furthermore, if in the future the property owner decides to sell one of the two businesses, and a separate parcel would be created, the issue of nonconforming parking would have been resolved. Based upon the findings set forth in this report, staff recommends approval of the Variance. VI. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the Variance, or approve any Variance the Planning Commission deems appropriate in the circumstances. 2. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. VII. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends alternative #1. VIII. ACTION REQUIRED This request requires the following motion: L:\03 Files\03 Variances\Hollywood\PC Report.doc 5 1.
