Attachment D 1 PLANNWG FILE 14-009 2 Request by Lakewest and Commers Enterprises Southtown for VACATION of unused right-of-way at 2501 3 — 2699 Patton Road 4 Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 14-009 at 6:55 p.m. 5 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request for VACATION of a small area of right-of-way adjacent to 2501 6 — 2699 Patton Road, adjacent to County Road C in west Roseville. Mr. Lloyd noted that this right-of-way remained 7 unused after subsequent platting of nearby property after the original platting of the Patton Business Addition in 8 1985; as detailed in Section 4.2 of the staff report. Mr. Lloyd provided staff's analysis, and advised that they 9 recommended approval, based on their comments and findings as outlined in Sections 4— 6 of the staff report 10 dated May 7, 2014; and the vacation survey dated March 20, 2014 reviewed as part of this application, and in 11 conjunction with the City's Public Works and Engineering Department's review. 12 Member Murphy questioned how the curved area would impact the holding pond; with Mr. Lloyd responding that 13 he was not sure of a technical response, and if the Public Works/Engineering staff review had found the need to 14 retain an easement on the property, it would remain even with the requested vacation. 15 Member Daire questioned the length of the cul-de-sac Patton Road; with Mr. Lloyd responding that even if longer 16 than current standards as a pre-existing and non-conforming condition under State Statute, the property owners 17 would still be required to provide solutions for emergency vehicle access and turnaround areas. With the 18 assistance of Mr. Paschke, Mr. Lloyd noted the current maximum length was 500', but staff was unable to find a 19 record of variance action that addressed the street length as part of their review and analysis. 20 Member Daire noted that, in Section 4.2 of the staff report, the business addition was done in 1985, at which time 21 Patton Road was 600' long; and then in 1987, that length was extended to 1200'. 22 Mr. Lloyd noted that the current code standards and maximum lengths could have been incorporated or revised 23 after the fact, but remained as legal, non-conforming provisions. 24 Mark Rancone, Applicant Representative with Roseville Properties, and representing the building owner 25 partnership 26 Mr. Rancone noted that this business park consisted of four buildings on Patton Road, and owned by those 27 business partners listed in the staff report. 28 Mr. Rancone noted that, when the buildings were built in the 1980's, their use was for a combination 29 office/warehouse use, with 30% office and 70% warehouse with loading docks. Over time, Mr. Rancone noted 30 that the use had evolved to medical start ups and other office business uses, and had now been converted to 31 almost 100% office use, and little warehouse use remaining. Mr. Rancone noted that part of this was due to a no 32 longer efficient warehouse use with 14' access doors as had been used in the 1980's. In order to accommodate 33 this higher office percentage use, Mr. Rancone advised that the business park owners were attempting to 34 accommodate additional parking requirements of employees; and that this request would serve to extend the 35 parking by an additional seven stalls, which would extend into the public right-of-way. Mr. Rancone advised that, 36 therefore, it had been determined that it was a good time to clear up the right-of way and lot lines and incorporate 37 all parking on their own land, including that corner of the property. 38 At the request of Member Daire, Mr. Rancone addressed intended stall sizes and restriping of those stalls. Mr. 39 Rancone clarified that, even though there were no code restriction on stall size, if necessary, they could post 40 signs for compact car use if deemed too small for regular vehicles; but that their intention was that most would be 41 9' - 10' wide and 16' — 18' deep, depending on the total area available. Mr. Rancone noted that the intent was to 42 provide as many stalls as possible to accommodate employees. 43 Chair Gisselquist closed Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m.; no one appeared for or against. 44 MOTION 45 Member Boguszewski moved, seconded by Member Gisselquist to recommend to the City Council 46 APPROVAL of the proposed VACATION of the unused right-of-way at 2501 — 2699 Patton Road; based on 47 the comments and findings of Sections 4— 6 and the recommendation of Section 7 of the staff report 48 dated May 7, 2014. 49 Ayes:5 50 Nays:O 51 Motion carried.
