c. Community Development Director Geoff Olson presented the specifics of the
proposal.
d. Mr. Gust Sarrack, 2311 Case, owner, spoke on behalf of the proposal.
e. Jim Kellison, ConSpec Corporation, spoke on behalf of the proposal.
f. Mayor Anderson called for proponents or opponents of the proposal.
g. Mayor Anderson closed the public hearing.
h. Councilmember Juker introduced the followinc resolution and moved its adoption:
90 - 6 - 89
WHEREAS, Con/Spec Corporation applied for a variance from the zoning
ordinance at 2305 Stillwater Road. The legal description is:
Lot 13 and 14, Auditor's Subdivision No. 77
WHEREAS, Section 36-27 (a) of the Maplewood Code of Ordinances requires
a 20-foot-wide landscaped area when a nonresidential use abuts
- residentially-zoned property.
WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing a five-foot setback, requiring a
variance of fifteen feet;
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
1. This variance was reviewed by the Community Design Review Board on
December 12, 1989. The Board recommended to the City Council that the
variance be approved.
2. The City Council held a public hearing on June 22, 1990. 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 variancefor the following reasons:
1. Mr. Sarrack would meet the intent of the ordinance if he screened the
parking lot from the property to the north.
2. There is an existing grade elevation and some existing landscaping that
already partially screens the site.
3. The setback requirement would cause Mr. Sarrack undue hardship because
the State bought part of his property for right-of-way. This has
reduced the area of his property for parking and left the property
unusually shaped, making complying with setback difficult.
4. The abutting lot to the north is the deep rear yard of an unoccupied
property recently purchased by the State as part of the widening of
Stillwater Road.
5. The fence is to be built to a minimum height of 6 feet above the level
of the parking lot, the exact height to be determined by the architect
and engineer to create a compatible height fence.
3 6-11-90
Approval is subject to Mr. Sarrack building a screeningfence along the entire
northerly lot line that complies with Section 36-27 of the City Code.

4. Larpenteur and White Bear Avenue
a. Councilmember Bastian noted that there are a number of signs in the
City showing that Olympic Festival activities will be taking place
at Aldrich Arena. One sign is posted at the North East corner of
White Bear and Larpenteur, and is a very .nice sign, but placed in
the middle of a trash yard, with not only trash, but also weeds that
are two or three feet tall. Since this intersection will be one of
the main entrance ways to Maplewood, we should look at cleaning that
up as well as other corners. The weed inspector should try to get
these areas cleaned up before the activities start..
b. Councilmember Juker inquired about what the City is doing in observance of
the Olympic Festival.
c. Park & Recreation Director Odegard explained that the Torch Run will occur
here on July 4 - picking up the torch from White Bear Lake, and passing it
