Richard Berko, 2953 Terrace Circle SE, stated he is requesting two variances to construct a deck. After
seeing the recvullU:;",.dation flum Staff, he would agree to a 25 foot variance lakeshore instead of 27 feet as
originally requested.
Deb Garross, Assistant City Planner, presented the information as per planning report of May 19, 1994.
The subject site is a substandard lot of record and was subdivided via an administrative land division by the
City of Prior Lake in 1985. There is a 60 foot public right-of-way wrere a storm sewer is located northerly
of the site. A variance was granted at the time of construction but expired. Staff's recvullu,:uds that a 5
foot north sideyard and a 25 foot lakeshore variance be granted. The variance requested would be consistent
with variances granted to the structure on the adjacent parcel and with previous actions of the Planning
Cuull..;ssion related to lakeshore setback variances.
ClJUllU:;",.b from the CvulU.;ssioners were on; street right-of-way, alternative design for deck, and all were

CONSIDER VARIANCE FOR BECKER ARENA
PRODUCTS/CITY OF PRIOR LAKE.
BONNIE CARLSON, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
_YES LNO
MAY 19, 1994
INTRODUCTION:
The attached information is part of an economic development package for development of a
second parcel within the Waterlront Passage Business Park. Specifically, the City of Prior Lake
owns the subject site and is in the process of negotiating a development proposal for Becker
Arena Products. The contractor for the project is Greystone Construction. The request is to
consider a 10' east side yard variance from the 20' side yard setback requirement of the 1-1,
Business Park zoning district. See attached materials for subject site location and development
plan.
D.ISClJSSION:
See attached memo from Roger Guenette of Advance Resources for Development, Inc. Mr.
Guenette is a consultant retained by the City of Prior Lake, to market and assist processing of
economic development applications for the Waterlront Passage Business Office Park.
ALTERNATIVEs;'
1. Approve the 10' east side yard variance as requested.
2. Table or continue the item for specific purposes.
3. Deny the application finding no demonstrated hardship.
,RECOMMENDATION:
Alternative #1.
Variance Hardship Standards:
1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect
to the property.
In this case, literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in the probable loss of a
second tenant within the Business Office Park. The City and developer have spent
considerable time and effort in an attempt to accomplish the objective of the Business
Park, to develop at least one property per year. It is in the City's best interest to facilitate
this project. The development could not occur on the original site intended due to wet
conditions within the plat. Therefore, an alternate site was chosen, after site plans and
Tax Increment Budget documents were prepared.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
The original subject site was to be within Block 2. However, due to wet conditions, an
alternate site within Block I was found in order to facilitate the development. There are
more stringent setback requirements within Block 1, therefore the contemplated site plan
requires a variance.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of
actions of persons presently having an interest in the property.
The City of Prior Lake is the developer of the Business Office Park. The plat of
Waterfront Passage Addition was approved with the understanding that the City would
attempt to facilitate development proposals that are consistent with the objectives of the
Business Park and Economic Development incentives. The Becker Ice Arena project is
consistent with the Business Park objectives, however, the alternate site contains more
restrictive setbacks than the original site contemplated for the development.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial
justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
The variance observes the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and Business Park District.
The grant of one, 10' east side yard variance would not be contrary to the public interest.

Request for Variance and Increase of Tax Increment Budget fer Becker Arena Project
RE:
Over the past month the City staff has been working with Becker Arena Products, Inc. and Greystone
Construction, the project contractor, to finalize site plans and prepare tinal budgets, AS you may recall
the project v.a:> initially to occur within Block 2 of the Business Park, but was then shifted to a lot within
Block 1 due to .....et conditions on the original site. An issue has arisen due to the setback requirements
of lots within Slock 1. Due to more stringent setbacks. the proposed site plan cannot be accommodated
unless a sideyard setback variance is granted. To enable the site plan to be implemented and maximize
development density it is necessary to allow a 10 foot sideyard building setback rather than the 20 foot
sideyard building setback stipulated in the Business Park design standards.
The company is concerned about management of the project budget b&C3use they are proposing to
upgrade the facility from a metal to a concrete structure and increase the initial scope of development
frcm 8.000 to 7.000 SF. They still intend to construct an additional 6,000.1.000 SF within the next 2.3
years.
To p~cmote the propO$ed upg:'ade of building materials and expand the size of the facility, the company
has requested approval of a variance for sideyard setback and $9,300 in additional funding to be repaid
to the city through tax increments. Approximately $10,000 in additional tax increment ..vould be generated
as a result ofthe increas@d project size. The company has been experiencing very significant groMh and
is seeking to begin the project immediately. They have indicated that Shakopee has proposed they
develop on a , acre lot which has no soil correction issues. lesser setback stipulations and less stringent
covenants pertaining to landscaping, curbs and gutter. While these factors would serve to reduce project
costs the company desires to implement the project in Prior Lake if these remaining issues are resclved

considerable time and effort in an attempt to accomplish the objective of the Business
Park, to develop at least one property per year. It is in the City"s best interest to facilitate
this project. The development could not occur on the original site intended due to wet
conditions within the plat. Therefore, an alternate site was chosen. after site plans and
Tax Increment Budget documents were prepared.

2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
The original subject site was to be within Block 2. However, due to wet conditions, an
alternate site within Block I was found in order to facilitate the development. There are
more stringent setback requirements within Block 1, therefore the contemplated site plan
requires a variance.
3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of
actions of persons presently having an interest in the property.
The City of Prior Lake is the developer of the Business Office Park. The plat of
Waterfront Passage Addition was apJ:'J.Vved with the understanding that the City would
attempt to facilitate development proposals that are consistent with the objectives of the
Business Park and Economic Development incentives. The Becker Ice Arena project is
consistent with the Business Park objectives, however, the alternate site contains more
restrictive setbacks than the original site contemplated for the development.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial
justice and is not contrary to the public interest.
The variance observes the spirit and intent of the Ordinance and Business Park District.
The grant of one, 10' east side yard variance would not be contrary to the public interest.

RE:
Request for Variance and Increase of Tax Increment Budget fer Secker Arena ProjQct
Over the past month the City staff has been working with Becker Arena Products, Inc. and GreY3tone
Construction. the project contractor, to finalize site plans and prepare final b~dgets, As you may recall
the project wa:> initially teoccur within Slock 2 of the Business Park. but was then shjftad to a lot within
Block' dl.<e to wet conditions on the original site. An issue has arisen due to the setback requirements
of lots within Slock 1. Due to more stringent setbacks. the proposed site plan cannot be accommodated
unless a sideyard setback var.ance is granted. To enable the site plan to be implemented and maximiz:a
development density it is necessary to allow a 10 foot sideyard building setback rather than the 20 100t
sideyard building setback stipulated in the Business Park design standards.
The company is concerned about management of the project budget b&C3use they are proposing to
upgrade the facility from a metal to a concrete structure and increase the initial scope of development
from 8.000 to 7,000 SF. They still intend to construct an additional 6.000.1.000 SF within the next 2.3
years.
To promote the propc~ed upg:'ade of building materials and expand the size of the facility. the company
has requested approval of a variance for sideyard setback and $9.300 in additional funding to b~ repaid
to the city through tax increments. Approximately $10.000 in additional tax. increment would be generated
as a result of the increased project siZe. The company has been experiencing very significant gro\vth and
is seeking to begin the project immediately. They have indicated that Shakopee has prop~sed they
del/Glop on a 1 acre lot which has no soil correction issues. lesser setbacl< stipulatiol1s and less stringent
covenants pertaining to landscaping, curbs and gutter. While these factors would serve to reduce proj-=c:
costs the company desires to implement the project in Prior Lake if these remaining issues aie iesclved
