PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: is 2 December 1987 m Kraus -Anderson Northwest Corner of Snelling and Skillman Avenue (see sketch) Approval of Variances to Parking, Building Setbacks, and Number of Parking Spaces PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Roseville Bowl was built many years ago occupying a 20,000 square foot building at the northwest corner of Skillman and Snelling Avenues. The building is legally nonconforming in the sense that it has no setback to the north or south prope ty lines, but has a setback the required 30 feet from the front (Snelling Avenue). The ordinance requiring a 30 foot setback on both Snelling Avenue and Skillman Avenue side was adopted in May, 1959. 2. The parking lot is also nonconforming since the parking area is suppose to be setback 15 feet from the public right-of-way along Skillman, 10 feet on the west side (contiguous to the residential area), and 5 feet on the north. The lot as it existed in a nonconforming condition serving the bowling alley was asphalted to the property lines and had a continuous curb cut along Skillman as well. 3. As you all know, the bowling alley was closed within the last couple of years and for a time, the building stood empty. About six months ago, Martin Capp, the ovmer, met with the City Staff discussing possible reuse of the property. At that time, it was pointed out that the building and parking lot were nonconforming and if the land were to be put into a different use, plans should be prepared for the building and the site. Additional landscaping, curbing, and adjustments to the parking were suggested with an attempt to conform to the ordinance requirements as may be practical. 4. Subsequently, Kraus -Anderson, the owner's builder, applied for and d b HAI ermit for the renovation of the building into two a receive ui mg p retail spaces. At the time, no plans were submitted relating to the handling of the parking area. Mr. Capp, his attorney, and a representative of the Kraus -Anderson company were asked to review the situation with staff personnel at City Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to solicit Mr. Capp's cooperation in providing improvements to the parking area that might enhance its appearance and function.
