The City Planner contacted the applicant explaining that the recently submitted site plan still did not include the applicable information and it was still deemed incomplete, hut that staff has received and created a site plan, which plan indicated the need for a VARIANCE. It was concluded during the conversation, that the City would proceed to the Variance Board on September 6,2006 with a VARIANCE request for partial use of the existing parl�ing lot (see attached Variance Board Action Request). On September 6,2006, the City Planner brought forward the VARIANCE request. However, confusion over the granting of the requested VARIANCE and the exact layout of the site had the Commission continuing action on the request for one month. On October 4,2006, after additional review and design work, the City Planner created an accurate site and aerial photo plan that was consistent with the County Road C improvements and the proposed site layout/improvement. The Variance Board accepted this information and voted 3-0 to approve the requested VARIANCE. On October 16, 2006 the approved VARIANCE became final at which tiine the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT could be considered by the City Council. The Planning Division has never received the requested information necessary to fulfill the application submittal requirements— is essence the application is still incomplete. However, since the beginning of this process the Planning Division has been intimately involved in every step of the process an to some degree has bee essentially acting as a cn- applicant. The City Planner undertook a timely and detailed process of creating documents that appropriately and accurately portrayed the existing and proposed site through informationreceived from Ramsey County and aerial photography. �.� BACKGROUND: ?. i C�rrur�in�s Mobility in cooperation with the City's Community Development Department seeks approval of a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT for a motor vehicle dealership allowing the sale of handicap accessible vehicles on the premises. ?� The conditional use permit process for this request allows the City to consider .t compatibility with adjoining properties; impacts on traffic, public facilities, and property values; impact on the general health, safety, and public welfare; and compatibilitywith the City's comprehensiveplan. The process also allows the City to impose those conditions it considers necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. 3,� SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: �. � On July 12,2006, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Cummings request. No ci�ize�s/�iusi�ess owners were present to address the Commission, but the Planning Commissioners did have questions of staff and the applicant. The Planning Commission recommended (4-1) approval of the request, subject to modified conditions. The Community DevelopmentDepartment concurs with the Planning Commission's amended recommendation.
