Rosemount Woods Site Plan Review and Side Yard Setback Variance . � CITY OF ROSfMOUNT • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION Pianning Commission Meeting Date: May 27, 1997 AGENDA ITEM: Rosemount Woods Site Plan Review and AGENDA SECTION: Side Yard Setback Variance Public Hearing PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner AGENDA NO. 7• �• ATTACHMENTS: Site Plan and Building Elevation APPROVED BY: � Reductions Memo Findin s Applicant: R. Duane Michalski (Owner) Location: 14640 Diamond Path Area in Acres: 1.2 Comp. Plan Land Use Desig.: Urban Residential Current Zoning: IP Industrial Park SUMMARY Mr. Duane Michalski has requested site plan approval for an expansion to the Cabinet shop they own on Diamond Path. The addition will be attached to the rear of the building and double the size �f the building from 3,200 sq. ft. to 6,400 sq. ft. The building has a side yard setback encroachment of five feet on the north side. A variance is needed to extend the wall to the rear, twenty-five feet from the northern property line which is also now zoned residentiaL Without the variance, the wall would have to be "jogged" five feet south. The site is large enough to accommodate the addition if it is longer. The site coverage including the addition and parking expansion is only 34% of the site. Shifting the addition five feet south may cause difficulty with the parking expansion area. Currently, the building screens the parking from the north and the city owned pond separates the parking from the south. RECOMMENDED ACTION: BOARD OF APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS Motion to grant a five foot side yard setback variance for the Rosemount Woods building addition on the north side yard, conditioned upon the installation of plantings within the side yard to buffer the residential use, in addition to the minimum requirements for landscaping related to the building addition. PLANNING COMMISSION Motion to approve the site plan for the Rosemount Woods building addition subject to: 1. Granting of the five foot side yard setback variance for the northern building elevation. 2. Conformance with Section 8.3, landscaping requirements for a minimum of 8 trees and 20 shrubs (or equivalent). 3. Conformance with Section 7.2, building type and construction; and Section 8.1, off street parking and loading requirements for screening, striping and curb & gutter. � 4. Conformance with all applicable building and fire codes and payment of all associated fees as re uired. PLANNING COMMlSSION ACTION: � FINDINGS -Rosemount Woods, 14640 Diamond Path The Baard of Appeals and Adjustments and the City Council, upon appeal, must find as follows in the granting of a variance from this ordinance: 1. Granting a variance will not adversely affect the public health, welfare and safety and will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood. Buffer plantings in the side yards adjacent to the residential districts should screen or mitigate the relative irtcompatibility between Residential cmd Itzdustrial P�k districts. Adherence to minimum standards should further reduce potential detrimental effect. 2. Strict interpretation or enforcement would result in a practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The current building is non-conforming relative to the side yard setback(by five,f'eet) and the addition is an extension o,f the current building. 3. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property, use or facilities that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. This is the only property within this district as a result of the rezoning o,f the remaining vacant property in the Broback Industrial Park. , 4. Strict or literal interpretation would deprive the applicant of the use and enjoyment of his property in a manner similar to other owners in the same district. While this is the only property within this district, the lot coverage is less than 35%which is extremely low for industriad property. Screening within the 25 foot side yard shoudd mitigate the relative incompatibility as a condition of the variance. 5. Granting of the variance will not allow a use which is otherwise not a pernutted use in the zoning district in question.

C1TY OF ROSEMOUNT z8�5-`;TMt""eetWest Rosemount,MN Everything's Coming Up Rosemount!! s5oba-a99� Phone:612-423-4411 Hearing Impaired 423-6219 Fax:612-423•5Z03 To: Planning Commission From: Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner Date: May 22, 1997 Re: Rosemount Woods Cabinet Shop 14640 Diamond Path Site Plan Review; May 27, 1997 Regular Planning Reviews REQUEST Mr. Duane Michalski has requested site plan review approval ta expand the cabinet shop located at 14640 Diamond Path. The property is zoned Industrial Park(IP) and is adjacent to the northern half of the Broback Industrial Park which has been rezoned to R-1, Single Family Residential Detached. The south side of the property adjoins a city ponding area with residential �I beyond to the south. Residential uses are located to the east and west across Diamond Path. ' The request depends upon a five foot variance to side yard setbacks on the north side. ' ACCESS, CIRCULATION AND PARKING Access to the site occurs at the e�sting driveway to Diamond Path, across from a local street in Apple Valley. No change will occur as the result of the addition. The e�sting parking area will ' be enlarged further east, in front of the 80 foot addition. The existing building plus the addition require 21 parking spaces. The e�sting and proposed paved area is large enough for the needed parking. Striping for the parking stalls is required as is curb and gutter for the driveway and parking lot edges. Screening must be provided along parking lot edges adjacent to residential districts. BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS The current building has a brick facade facing Diamond Path with the remainder of the walls consisting of painted concrete block. The standards for the IP District require 50 % of all wall surfaces to consist of brick, decorative block, wood, stone, architectural concrete cast in place, or precast concrete panels. The addition as shown, consists entirely of concrete block which by itself, will not be sufficient. In addition, all mechanical systems including HVAC and dust control will have to be screened from adjacent residential districts. Lastly, a dumpster enclosure should be provided unless all dumpsters are to be stored within the building. Rosemount Woods Site Plan Review May 27, 1997 Page 2. LANDSCAPING The site has several trees in the front yard and evergreen foundation plantings. The addition will trigger the need for additional plantings. Eight trees and twenty shrubs axe the minimum requirement at this time. However, given the residential zoning to the north and south, additional plantings should be considered for buffering needs. RECOMMENDATIONS BOARD OF APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS Motion to grant a five foot side yard setback variance for the Rosemount Woods building addition on the north side yard conditioned by the installation of plantings within the side yard to buffer the residential use in addition to the minimum requirements for landscaping related to the building addition.

Conformance with Section 7.2, building type and construction; and Section 8.1 off-street parking and loading requirements for screening, striping and curb & gutter. 4.
