,--� ^ ��z , March 26, 2010 Riaz Hussain 1901 Lexington Avenue Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Denial of Conditional Use Permit Amendment Dear Mr. Hussain, .�.� As you know from your attendance of the March 22, 2010 City Council meeting, the City Council denied your application to amend the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at 1901 Lexington Avenue, based on the following findings related to the standard criteria that must be considered when taking action on a proposed conditional use: a. Public Works staff has determined that utilization of the parking areas adjacent to Autumn Street unnecessarily increases the potential for traffic conflicts because of the close proximity with the high traffic volume of Lexington Avenue; b. If the parking areas remained, the size and location of the parking areas makes it necessary for motorists to back in from the street or back out onto the street because there is no space for vehicles to enter in a forward direction, turn around within the property boundaries, and exit in a forward direction, and it is predominantly this need to back into or out of the parking areas that has the greatest potential to create traffic hazards in the area; and c. The potential traffic conflicts related to the continued use of the existing parking areas needlessly compromise the public safety. This denial doesn't require you to change anything about the conditions or uses on the property; instead it merely means that the original provisions of the CUP will continue to apply to the property at such times as it might be used as a veterinary clinic. I've enclosed a copy of the effective CUP for your records. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at 651-792-7073.
