STREET FRONTAGE, SHORELAND FRONTAGE AND LOT WIDTH VARIANCE REQUEST, LOT 3, SUNSET VIEW:
Joe and Susan Welter of 7420 Chanhassen Road are requesting a 35 foot street frontage,
a 15 foot lake frontage and lot width variances to construct a home on this property.
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals recommended denial based upon reasons of density I
and the location of the tri-p1ex at 7420 Chanhassen Road being only 6.6 feet away
from the property line of this vacant lot and the substandard nature of the lot.
A petition was received from the surrounding property owners in opposition to the
proposed variance request. A letter was received from the DNR offering the following
comments:
1. Since the lot ~vas platted prior to adoption of shoreland controls, it would
be considered as a substandard lot of record and subject to the provisions
contained in Section NR83(c)1(dd).
2. The fact that the lot area exceeds mlnlmum lot area requirements by 5,625
square feet does provide some compensation for the narrow lot width.
3. Section NR83(c)1(dd) states, in part, that a substandard lot of record may
be allowed as a building site provided that the lot is in separate ownership
from abutting lands.
4. The city should consider the combination of lots 2 and 3 if it would lessen
the non-conforming status of lot 2.
5. If the city should allow lot 3 as a building site, they should ensure that no
additional variances would be needed by requiring that any structures should
be designed to fit the limitations of the lot, as a condition of the variance
presently requested.
Councilman Neveaux moved to deny the variances requested for Lot 3, Sunset View,
Planning Case 82-4, and concur with the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. Motion
seconded by Mayor Hamilton. The following voted in favor: Mayor Hamilton, Councilmen
Neveaux, Geving, and Horn. No negative votes. Motion carried.
NON-CONFORMING USE STATUS OF TRI-PLEX ON LOT 2, SUNSET VIEW: Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Welter are asking the Council to extend the 15-year time limitation on the non-
conforming tri-plex located on Lot 2. The non-conforming status will expire in
1987. Staff recommended that the Council act to state that the non-conforming
use status will be revie~ved in 1987 and that the applicant be instructed to immediately
correct the deficiencies noted by the fire marshal and building inspector.
I
Councilman Neveaux moved to deny the request for a continuance of the non-conforming
use status beyond the year 1987 and that the property owner be advised that the fire
marshal's comments in regard to violations of the State Fire Code found in his
memorandum of June 1, 1982, be corrected immediately and no time later than 30 days
from this evening and that the conditions noted in the building inspector's
memorandum of May 11, 1982, be corrected no later than September 1, 1982, or cause
a review at that point as to whether this property will be a11o~ved to continue to be
used for rental purposes beyond September 1, 1982. iA11 corrections made to the
property will be in concert with and under the direct supervision of the city building
inspector. Motion seconded by Councilman Geving. The following voted in favor:
Mayor Hamilton, Councilmen Neveaux, Geving, and Horn. No negative votes. Motion
carried.

AND OUTLOT B, PARK ONE, THE PRESS, INC. Julius Smith, Roger Drewing, and Daryl Fortier
were present. A replat is proposed to create a 10.2 acre parcel to Lot 1 and Lot 2
would be 5.9 acres. The purpose of the replat is to construct a 146,000 square foot I
addition onto The Press, Inc. facility located on Lot 1. The applicant is proposing
to construct a private service road, 20 feet north of the southerly property line
along Highway 5. The proposed revisions to the Zoning Ordinance require 25 foot
front yard setback for any parking and maneuvering areas. A five foot setback
for the parking areas along the easterly border of the site is shown. The proposed

The number of parking spaces exceeds the ordinance standards by approximately 34%.
The expansion provides for the potential installation of eight off-set presses with gas
fired dryers inl addition to the four already in operation. The applicant indicated that
it is not likely that all eight new presses would be added before 1990. Staff recommended
that the applicant be in contact with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Air Quality
officials about any potential limitations of having 12 gas fired presses operating on the
site.
Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat of Park One Second Addition and the
site plan for The Press, Inc. expansion with the following conditions:

setback on the proposed easterly lot line.
3. That the plan be r~vised to provide a 25 foot front yard setback for the proposed

landscaping. Luminaries shall be uniform with the existing luminaries and shall
be located to the specifications of the City Engineer.

Street to a point perpindicular to the proposed easterly property line of Lot 1

6. That the northerly most access abutting West l87th Avenue be removed from the final
plan.
7. That the landscaping materials to be planted in the northwest corner of Lot 1 not
impair the sight distances for traffic egressing the property onto West 77th Street
and traffic traveling on West 77th Street and West l87th Avenue.
8. That the plan be revised to provide the required parking stall length and clear aisle
width for the 900 parking spaces on the east side of the proposed building.
9. That the applicant provide evidence to the City that all necessary Pollution Control
Agency aid quality permits have been received on individual and cumulative presses
associated with atmospheric emissions prior to the installation.
10. That the applicant provide evidence to the City that a hazardous and toxic substances
inventory permit has been received from Hennepin County prior to the issuance of
