<br /> <br />CITY OF ROSEVILLE <br />PLANNING REPORT <br /> <br />DATE: 10-12-94 <br /> <br />CASE NO.: 2667 <br /> <br />Planner Approval: Agenda Section: <br /> <br />6(a) <br />Item Description: Naftalia Alkali request for a special use permit for a light <br />automobile repair facility and a 5 foot rear yard setback <br />variance at 3114 N. Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />1. BAC~GROUND <br /> <br />The Knoland Family Trust owns the parcel of land and building at 3114 N. Lexington <br />Avenue (southeast quadrant of Lexington and County Road D), In 1993, the Trust <br />applied for and was granted a special use permit for light automobile repair. That <br />proposal involved a tenant leasing the existing building and included a five year schedule <br />to meet current design standards. With this new application, Mr. Alkali is proposing to <br />raze the existing building and build a new facility at this location. This hearing was <br />continued from the July 13~ 1994 Planning Commission meeting to allow time for <br />the applicant to work with Ramsey County on right-of-way dedication and to <br />provide legal notice for the variance request. <br /> <br />2. DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY <br /> <br />The lot is 28,878 sq. ft. in size and is zoned B-3 General Business. In this zoning district, <br />light automotive repair would require the issuance of a special use permit. The building is <br />currently vacant and is the former site of a bicycle shop and before that a motor fuel <br />station. The north side of the site, facing County Road D, is paved out to County Road <br />D, across most of the frontage. The east property line is adjacent to existing tree standing <br />garages associated with a residential apartment complex. Currently, almost the entire site <br />is paved. <br /> <br />As we indicated, the request is for a special use permit for light automotive repair. Mr. <br />Alkali's original request proposed to construct a 7,800 sq. ft. facility that would house his <br />Car-X Muffler operation and an auto related tenant. In order to provide the required 5 <br />foot setback for parking along the south property line, the new proposal reduces the <br />building size to 7,300 sq. ft. The building is proposed to be constructed of color <br /> <br />6(a)-I <br />
