A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED
NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES FROM 24 TO 19 FOR A CONVENIENCE
STORE/CAR WASH
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Holiday Station Stores has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order
to permit the construction of a car wash addition to an existing structure on property
located in the B-3 (General Business)District at the following location, to wit;
16800 Duluth Avenue SE, legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 2, Brooksville Center 2nd Addition, Scott County, Minnesota,
except for the following described parcel:
That part of Lot 1, Block 2, Brooksville Center 2nd Addition, Scott county,
Minnesota, lying Northerly of the following described line: Beginning at a
point on the westerly line of said Lot 1, distant 170.00 feet southerly of the
northwest corner of said Lot 1; thence northeasterly parallel to the northerly
line of said Lot 1, a distance of 192.59 feet more or less to its intersection with
the easterly line of said Lot 1, and there terminating
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case#98-116 and held hearings thereon on September 14, 1998.
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 variances 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 property was platted in 1979 and the first gas station was constructed in 1980. In
1996 a major renovation of the site commenced. There is a 25 foot wide private
easement on the property, located on the south lot line. This easement is to allow thru
access to the Dairy Queen. The easement results in the use of land that could
otherwise be used to accommodate required parking.
6. The ordinance does not presently allow us to count the spaces at the pump islands as
parking spaces. There are 8 pumps, with 2 parking spaces, each on this site. If these
parking spaces are included, the applicant would exceed the required parking for the
use. The intent of the required parking spaces is to ensure adequate on site parking
for the use, and to ensure parking does not encroach onto the public right-of-way, or
adjacent properties. The proposed use requires 24 spaces. The applicant has provided
15 spaces, along with the 16 spaces at the pumps. This number is consistent with the
intent of the ordinance.
7. The granting of the variances are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variances will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and are necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
The factors listed above do not allow for an alternative reasonable location for the
closet addition to be permitted without the variances.
8. The contents of Planning Case 98-116 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 variance, as shown in attached Exhibit A for proposed car wash addition;
1. A variance to permit 19 parking spaces rather than the required 24 parking spaces
for a the Holiday motor fuel station and retail store combination.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on September 28, 1998.
