Memo to Mayor and City Council <br />V95-02 <br />March 6, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />• Please refer to the attached memo to the Planning Commission for additional <br />information on this item. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission reviewed the Variance Request and recommended <br />approval based on the four (4) findings stated in the staff report. <br />Recommendation <br />It is recommended the City Council approve the Variance Request by the City <br />of Elk River for a two to three foot variance to the ten foot parking setback <br />requirements based on the following findings: <br />1. The variance is an extension of an existing condition. <br />2. The variance is minimized by reducing the driveway width as much as <br />possible and establishing a buffer of landscaping. <br />3. The campus setting of the ice complex and high school is a unique <br />• situation whereby shared parking and property lines for ownership <br />purposes exist. <br />4. The encroachment of the parking area into the setback will not be <br />detrimental to surrounding properties nor create a public safety <br />concern. <br />• s:council:v95-02 <br />
