Minutes of Regular Council ~eeting July 12, 1982 Page Six Case No. 82-15, Minor Subdivision - Lots 16 and 17, Block 3, Shady Oaks Addition, 3628 N. Snelling Avenue Council was referred to Planning memo (6-29-82), Board of Appeals report (7-1-82), Planning Commission recommendations (minutes of 7-7-82) and to transparencies of the 2 lot site which the appli- cant proposes to re-subdivide into 3 lots with access from a private road to Snelling Avenue (Old Highway 10). Miller explained that the existing house is on Lot 17. very close to the Lot 16 property line; the existing garage is on Lot 16; both lots are legal lots as they exist, not having been combined previously. Miller explained that all 3 lots meet or exceed the area requirement, but will need width variances. Lot widths, as proposed, are about 80', 85' (95' required), corner lot is about 85' (120' required). Mil.ler noted that it tskes a lot of "bending" to make the proposal work - too many things do not fit; private roads are not permitted, but it would be preferable to not create another drive exiting on Snelling Avenue. . Mr. Loos, applicant, said it is a large parcel, with actually three building elevations for three building sites; noted that the Arden Oaks lots to the north are oriented in a north/south direction, feels these lots would conform to those lots, as pro- posed. Loos said he prefers to not cut into the steep bank for another driveway to Lot 16; the existing lots are very deep; serrain seems to dictate three building levels. In discussion, it was suggested that it appears the proposed middle lot will hold water; suggested a sectional profile be submitted to show how drainage would be handled. Other concerns were the private road, variances on all three lots and the addi- tional access to Snelling to the existing Lot 16. Miller said a "pan-handle" lot could be created (20' on Snelling), which is clumsy, but a possibility for a 2-10t re-subdivision; noted that access to the easterly lot could be by easement or own- ership - ownership is preferable. After discussion, Hicks moved to deny the requested three-lot re-subdivision requested (Case No. 82-15) as proposed and wsive the fee requirement for submission of an alternate re-subdivision of the property without extensive variances. Motion was seconded by Johnson and carried unanimously (4-0). Case No. 80-12, Amended Site Plan, W.W. Grainger, Inc. 7'J(dLvu Council was referred to the original site plan for the W.W, Grainger office/warehouse building on Round Lake Road West previously approved; explained that the Building Permit approval for the building expires July 12th; applicant .desires to build a reduced building with the same exterior and site plan, except the north wall is proposed to be block, instead of pre-cast to allow for future expansion in that di re c tion. . Dave Lange (Pariah Architects) explained that the reason for the delay, and now the reduced building size is the economy; applicant plans the building in 3 instead of 2 ;phases; noted that the reduced building will have 3 truck accesses instead of 4, all water retention remains the same; displayed elevations of the building (pre-cast with metal panels); noted that north and east walls are to be block, painted to match the pre-cast walls; stated that structurally the building is the same; expanded west wall will be pre-cast when building is proposed to be enlarged; all site development will be done at first phase, including parking and landscaping. Johnson moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council a Building Permit as per the amended site plsn approve issuance (6 L ~l). 7-J-f'oZ. of -6-
