1.Roll Call
II. PUBLIC HEARING -- Request for Variance-1709 Main Street-Paul Steffel
Mr. Steffel reviewed his proposal to construct a building in the Downtown M-1 zoning
district at a height lower than the minimum called for in the Downtown Master Plan.
Builder Dale Dockendorf presented the building plans which indicated a height of twenty-
two feet. Mr. Steffel indicated that he has sufficient property to meet the minimum
parking requirements of the code, but if he built a two story building his parking needs
would be double, leaving him short of the required parking spaces. He also noted that
Anoka County had condemned his property and take a significant portion.
Administrator Larson pointed out that the development would be done as a Planned Unit
Development, so all of the details of the construction and site issues could be resolved
there. The primary issue at this time is whether or not the city is open to buildings that are
not at least two stories.
No one else was present to speak with regard to the proposed variance.
Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Montain to close the
public hearing at 7:10 p.m. All voted in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Administrator Larson presented draft findings in favor of approving the variance. The
Commission reviewed the draft findings and recommendation to City Council.
