within a residential neighborhood. The City has found that such large pavement uses can deteriorate neighborhood aesthetics, air and water quality, landscaping and green space, and the neighborhood sense of place. 2) The City Code does not address church "surge" or peak hour parking in residential areas. Adding on-site parking to serve minimal peak times can be a community physical hardship since the hard surface reduces green space adjacent to public park space and increases surface water management issues in the existing residential area. The City Code does allow the City Council to determine parking needs for any use when not adequately described in the Code and to approve devices such as "proof of parking" plans to supplement needed parking. 3) As a condition of approval of the variance request, the Church agrees to construct 27 paved spaces, and to not pave at this time, a portion of the green space equivalent to 25 spaces (7,500 s.f.) in the southeast comer of the Church lot adjacent to Bruce Russell Park, as shown on exhibit "A". 4) The Church shall prepare and file with the City Community Development Director a "proof of parking" plan as a condition of the variance and supply site plans for future on-site parking of 25 vehicles (if determined to be needed and required by the City). Shuttle and shared ride management plans shall be attempted by the Church. A parking plan by the Church shall include nearby streets (within 4 blocks), nearby intersections, adjacent driveways, and existing "higher density" parking and valet areas. The plan shall describe the thresholds that would instigate the need to construct additional parking on the Church site. 5) To retain the "proof of parking" permit, the Church shall submit by June 1 each year a report which includes a count of on-street Sunday parking use within 4 blocks of the Church taken at 4 peak Sundays throughout the year. The report shall contain a comparison to the established thresholds in the plan. The Church shall also report on on-street parking counts for other events, especially weeknight social events. The Church is encouraged to hold an annual neighborhood meeting and report on new neighborhood parking issues. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Roseville, Minnesota, herein approves a variance for 25 required parking spaces, for Roseville Lutheran Church, 1215 Roselawn, based on the aforementioned findings and conditions. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the "proof of parking" permit, as a part of a variance, is approved contingent filing the plan and annually submitting a report. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Council Member Mastel, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor: Mastel, Maschka, Wiski, Goedeke and Kysylyczyn and the following voted against the same: None WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
