The purpose is to "even-up" the rear lot line of the developed lot which fronts on New Brighton Road.

Motion carried. (3-0 ) CASE #87-21: SITE Council was referred to Planner's memorandum (6-25-87) COVERAGE VARIANCE relative to the Site Coverage Variance request for PKING. LOT EXPAN. parking lot expansion, 1275 Red Fox Road, Everest II. 1275 RED FOX ROAD . Miller explained the applicant is proposing to enlarge the existing parking lot to provide 31 additional spaces to accommodate the building tenant's parking demand; tenant is Deluxe Check. He explained the proposed expansion would results in total site coverage of 79.5 percent; maximum coverage permitted in the 1-2 District is 75 percent. Council was referred to an excerpt from the Board of Appeals minutes of June 30th; the Board was evenly split with two members voting in favor and two members opposed to the variance request (reasons noted in minutes). Miller also reviewed the Planning Commission minutes of 7/1/87; members recommended denial of the variance based on the fact there is no identifiable hardship. The Planner explained that the Commission recommended the applicant increase the parking, if so desired, up to the 75 percent maximum coverage permitted; conditioned upon the expansion being accomplished at the rear of the building. . He pointed out that it may not be feasible for the applicant to expand to the 75 percent maximum due to the fact they could only achieve about one-third of the 31 spaces proposed and this would not alleviate the parking problem. Councilmember Winiecki questioned the percentage of reduction in green space if the variance were granted. Miller stated the requirement for this District is 25 percent green space; approval of the variance would reduce the green space to 20 percent.
