CASE NUMBER: 1388-82 APPLI CANT : The Pet Connection, Inc., .0. Page 2 right-of-way, In 1979, the city Council adopted a policy specifying under what condition the additional right -of -gray will be requested on county Roads and other streets where a right -of -way width has been designated to be greater than that which exists. That policy specifies that right -of -way and/ or easements will be required when the following actions are granted a. A Plat b. A 'Replat c, A Registered band survey d. Condominium filings e, Lot widths f. Administrative let splits g. special Use Permits h. Building Permits for vacant parcels i . Building Permits which result in the replacement or enlarge- ment of 50 or more of the existing structure value j. Building Perm -its and Variances der certain specified conditions Thus, under this condition where an application for Special Use Permit is requested, additional right -of -way would normally be rewired in accordance with the policy. 7. The right --of -way of Lexington Avenue for this parcel, currently consists of 33 feet which is the normal two rod right-of-way to which the government has rights on either side of a section line (Lexington Avenue is a section line road) . The Ramsey county standard for Lexington Avenue calls for an additional 16.5 feet of right -of -way on either side of the existing 66 foot right -o.f -way. This right -of -way has been picked up along many areas of Lexington Avenue in the past, 8, When aE Special Use Permit was recently granted to the Lexington Avenue Plaza shopping Center people for live entertainment in the 011 Mexico Restaurant, an additional 16.5 feet of right -of -way was obtained on the west side of Lexington Avenue, contiguous to the of Mexico parking area, You will also recall that when a special use Permit was issued for a new gas station facility at the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue (Margolis Center), 16,5 feet of right -of -way was picked up contiguous to Lexington Avenue as a result of that action. when a variance was issued for the location of an automated banking facility just north of the service station site, an additional six feet of right�of -way was dedicated by Margolis with that action. Thus, in conformance with an established policy, the question of additional right -of -way dedication with respect to this application is appropriate. 9. The problem here is, of course, that an additional 16.5 feet of right-of-way has considerable impact on the parking capacity of this part of the Lexington Plaza Shopping Center property. Perhaps some reasonable adjust- ment can be negotiated with the shopping center owners to fulfill the policy requirement, yet minimizing the impact on the parking needs
