The applicant will construct a 25-unit garage for use by residents of Elk River Lodge and Residential <br />Suites. <br />2. The applicant will expand the parking lot to provide a total of 52 on-site parking stalls (1.44 <br />stalls/unit). <br />3. The applicant will provide a proof of parking site plan, and enter into a proof of parking agreement <br />with the city. The agreement will state that 19 additional stalls must be constructed in accordance with <br />the proof of parking site plan when five parking concerns are identified in a six-month period. <br /> <br />If the City Council does not believe the parking requirements can be adequately met, staff asks the <br />Council to: <br /> <br />Deny, by motion, the variance for a reduction in the number of parking spaces required for an apartment <br />building based on the request not meeting the following standards for approval of a variance: <br />1. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance are not met. <br />2. The proposed use is not a reasonable use of the property. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Case No. V 17-02 <br /> <br />The Board of Adjustments reviewed the variance request during their June 27, 2017, meeting. After <br />discussion on additional on and off-site parking options, they recommended approval of the variance <br />with the condition the applicant construct 20 additional surface parking spaces on site, and enter into a <br />parking agreement for the Saxon Motors property. <br /> <br />The applicant appealed the approval on July 7, 2017, and requested adjustments to the additional parking <br />requirements conditioned by the Board of Adjustments. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
