Planning File 1296 - Carlson Equipment Company request for variance to ordinance requiring the construction of sidewalk at 1380 West County Road C Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant had recently co~pleted a major expansion to their equipment company which is located on County Road C south of the Burlington Northern Railway tracks. The scale of the expansion, in accordance with the established city policies, triggers the requirement for the cons- truction of a sidewalk on the public right-of-way frontage. This requirement applies to commercial, industrial and multiple residential development. Since placement of the sidewalk on the public right-of-way would mean that the side- walk would be north of the railroad tracks and since the tracks there are used extensively for a "team track" operation where many trucks are often parked or drive across the area that would be the potential sidewalk, the applicant is requesting that they be relieved of the requirement to construct the side- walk. Mr. Gary Carlson, representing the applicant, indicated his presence at the meeting and that he felt the interference from the team track operation, as well as the indication that a sidewalk along a short stretch on the south of County Road C would not be utilized. It would be a acceptable idea not to build the sidewalk. Discussion Mr. Mastel asked if it would be possible to require the applicant to contribute monies at some later day should a sidewalk be feasible. Mr. Carlson indicated that in discussions with the staff, it was his understand- ing that this could not be done. Mr. Simons asked if, at some future date, the city should decide to build a side- walk along the south side of "C" , would the variance to the sidewalk requirement be an indication that the applicant would not be liable for any normal assess- ments in the building of the sidewalk.
