2.7 In November 1990, Suburban True Value Hardware was granted a conditional use permit to allow the exterior display of merchandise with the following conditions: That the hours of outside display and the type of equipment displayed by as described in the applicant's letter of September 14, 1990. (Lawnmowers and similar merchandise to be displayed Monday - Friday from 8:ooar to 8:00pm, Saturday from 8:00arn to 5:00pm, and Sunday from 11:00arn to 4:Ooprn.) 2. That the storage occurs as shorn on the plans dated September 14, 1990. (Merchandise to be displayed on the sidewalk area on the front (unrest) side of the building, in a five foot wide area adjacent to the building) 3. That the heights of the displays not exceed five feet. 2.8 Merchandise such as lawnmowers and power tools is rented from this location. Other than the exterior storage allowed by the conditional use permit issued in 1990, there will be no additional outdoor storage of merchandise for rent. Mr. Johnson has indicated that he has no intention of expanding his rental business to include larger items, such as trailers or other vehicles. 2,9 Suburban True Value Hardware repairs lawnmowers and similar equipment. Seca use of limited interiors ace, equipment awaiting repair is often stored on the p south side of the building. Mr. Johnson has been informed that this is a violation of the City Code and needs to be addressed. 2,10 Concerns were also expressed regarding drainage of the property. The parking lot sheet drains to Lexington Avenue, which was approved by the Public Works Director in 1989. Building drainage will have to be directed to the front of the building, rather than diverted on to adjacent properties. Because of the additional im p erg,tious surface, storm grater detention will need to be provided on-site so that the run-off rate in a 1 0-year storm event does not exceed the current run-off rate. (See attached memo from play Kennedy, 7/27198.) 2.11 The Ramsey County Master street Plan identif es Lexington Avenue as a future 99 foot right-of-way. An additional 16.5 feet of right-of-way will be required along the western edge of this parcel, it has not been the policy of the City to require dedication of additional right-of-way as a condition of variance approval. 2.12 The corner of Lexington Avenue and Rosela rn Avenue has been identified as a Cornerstone intersection and concepts for redevelopment of this corner have been developed. While the proposed expansion of this use does not comply with provisions of the Cornerstone concept, it is consistent with the concept of keeping local service shops within residential neighborhoods.
