Councilmember Koppen moved to adopt the following resolution approving a variance to locate
a building that would be used for automotive repair, 220 feet from an abutting residential
property
350-FOOT SETBACK REDUCTION VARIANCE RESOLUTION 04-04-069
WHEREAS, Carol and Pat McFarlane applied for a variance from the zoning ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to the property north of Gulden's Roadhouse, 2999 Maplewood
Drive. The legal description is:
That part of the north 409.50 feet of the east 500.00 feet of the South Half of the Northeast Quarter of
Section 4, Township 29, Range 22, Ramsey County, Minnesota, lying northerly of a line drawn from a point
on the east line of said Northeast Quarter of Section 4 distant 235.77 feet south of the northeast corner of
said South Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 4 to a point on the west line of said east 500.00 feet of
the South Half ofthe Northeast Quarter of Section 4 distant 115.53 feet south ofthe northwest comer of said
east 500.00 feet of the South Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 4.
WHEREAS, Section 44-512(8)( c) ofthe Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires that all parts of a
motor-vehicle repair facility be at least 350 feet from a residential district.
WHEREAS, the applicants are proposingto build their building 220 feet from aresidential district.
City Counci104-12-04 10
WHEREAS, this requires a variance of 130 feet.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On March 15, 2004, the Planning Commission recommended thatthe City Council approve
this variance.
2. The City Council held a public hearing on April 12, 2004. City staff published a notice in
the Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property owners as required by
law. The Council gave everyone at the hearing an opportunity to speak and present written
statements. The Council also considered reports and recommendations from the City staff
and Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approve the above-described
variance for the following reasons:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship to the applicant because the site is not large
enough to accommodate the proposed building without approval of a variance.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance since the grade
slopes downward from the existing home sites to the west, which helps to obscure some of the
mass of the proposed building.
3. The owner of the adj acent property to the west, the most affected neighboring owner, is in favor
of the proposed building placement.
Approval of this variance is conditioned upon the applicant submitting arevised landscape plan for
staff approval providing for screening on the west side ofthe proposed parking lot. This screening
shall comply with city code that requires a visual screen that is at least six feet tall and 80 percent
opaque upon installation. This landscape plan shall also include a turf establishment plan for this
area.

15-foot front parking lot setback requirement:
PARKING-SETBACK VARIANCE RESOLUTION 04-04-070
WHEREAS, Carol and Pat McFarlane appliedfor avariance fromthe zoning
ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to the property north of Gulden's
Roadhouse, 2999 Maplewood Drive. The legal description is:
That part of the north 409.50 feet of the east 500.00 feet of the South Half of the
City Counci104-12-04 11
Northeast Quarter of Section 4, Township 29, Range 22, Ramsey County, Minnesota, lying

of Section 4 to a point on the west line of said east 500.00 feet of the South Half of the
Northeast Quarter of Section 4 distant 115.53 feet south ofthe northwest corner of said east
500.00 feet of the South Half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 4.
WHEREAS, Section 44-20(c)(5)(a) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances
requires that all parking lots shall be 15 feet from a street right-of--way.
WHEREAS, the applicants are proposing to build their front parking lot five
feet from their front lot line.
WHEREAS, this requires a variance of 10 feet.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. On March 15, 2004, the Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council approve this variance.
2. The City Council held a public hearing on April 12, 2004. City staff
published a notice in the Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property
owners as required by law. The Council gave everyone at the hearing an opportunity to
speak and present written statements. The Council also considered reports and
recommendations from the City staff and Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED thatthe City Council approve the
above-described variance for the following reasons:
1. Strict enforcement would cause undue hardship to the applicants because it
would cause them to set the parking lot further back needlessly, with no benefit.
2. The variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance
since there would be 95 feet of setback from the highway edge, which is approximately 40
feet more than the typical parking lot setback in this situation.

Venburg Tire site. This is denoted as Remnant Parcel 1 in the staff report.
6. Provide drainage and utility easements as recommended by the assistant city engineer in his
memo dated March 8, 2004. Since the exact locations of these easements may need to be
determined after the stamping of deeds to split the lot, these easements must be dedicated
prior to the applicants obtaining a building permit.
7. The deeds creating the Venburg Tire site must be recorded before the city shall issue a
building permit.

1. On March 23, 2004, the Community Design Review Board recommended that
the City Council approve this variance.
2. The City Council held a public hearing on April 12, 2004. City staff
published a notice in the Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property
owners as required by law. The Council gave everyone at the hearing an opportunity to
speak and present written statements. The Council also considered reports and
recommendations from the City staff and Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED thatthe City Council approve the
