PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 9 April .1986 1651 James E. Edlund Southwest Corner of Skillman and Snelling Avenues (see sketch) Approval of Special Use Permit for Planned Unit Development and Variance to Parking Location 1. James Edlund has operated his successful State Farm Mutual Insurance Agency at this location for many years. He owns the office structure (zoned B-1) and the contiguous residence to the south. When the office structure was built, it was approved as a planned unit development encompassing the residence and the business location as a single site. Parking for the facility is as shown on the left hand site plan as Indicated un the attached drawing. 2. Mr. Edlund proposes to modify the site so as to provide additional parking spaces on the west side of the site. His west boundary is contiguous to a side lot line of an adjacent duplex (zoned R-2). Next year when Snelling Avenue is rebuilt in this area of the City, the service road will be moved westerly on the front of the site. At that time, the east side of site will be revised as shown in the right hand site plan. 3. The proposed changes have been reviewed with the City of Roseville staff and MN/DOT officials. We feel that the proposal, both at the west end and the east end, is an appropriate rearrangement. The changes at the east and are particularly advantageous in as much as they eliminate the parking now conducted directly off the street at the immediate scorner, moving the new parking locations to a combined driveway with the existing residence. 4. So, too, at the west end of the site, the parking arrangement is changed so that the vehicles will not be backing out onto Stillman, but will be turning around on the site and entering Skillman with the car facing north. 5. The drainage for the proposed parking lot on the west end has been discussed with the staff. Though it is not shown on the site plan, it is mutually recognized that a catch basin will be constructed within the parking area to pick up the drainage, carrying it directly to the storm sewer systern (rather than draining down the driveway). The variance proposed is to keep the parki.ig as far to the north as possible thereby reducing the 15 foot setback from the barking to the north property lime to 5 feet. This allows for the retention of a more ample back yard serving the existing residence. approvals for the planned unit development and variance could be made subject to the review of the final engineering and landscape plan by the City staff.
