3/<(, April 15, 1999 Father Walt Sochacki St. Rose of Lima Church 2048 North Hamline Avenue Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Dear Father Sochacki: The City records show th;lt in April 1996 St. Rose of Lima requested Oanuary 31,1990) and received a variance from the City of Roseville City Council to waive the requirements for certain parking lot improvements including: 1. The parking lot along Eldridge be removed and concrete curbs installed 15 feet back from the property line; 2. Driveway openings be reduced to 26 feet in width and curb and gutter be placed at driveway entrances; 3. Paving placed on City right-of-way in the southeast corner of the property be removed and replaced with sod; 4. Concrete curb be installed along the entire south edge of the existing parking lot. On April 23, 1990 the Council approved the variance request with the stipulation that the parking lot be brought into compliance within five years, with design details to be worked out by staff. Evidently the concerns of the Council and neighbors related to street drainage from rain and melting snow across the parking lot into residential lots which were already having problems with wet basements. Another concern appeared to be traffic control and driveways within the parking lot. The City records do not show that the Church took out necessary permits and completed the work in 1995 or thereafter. The records also do not show that the Church received further waivers or variances to exempt the Church from compliance with the City Code.
