Planning File 1290 - Alex Minich request for rezoning and variance at 2980 North Snelling Avenue Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposed to remodel a portion of the lower level of the apartment building at the location indicated and that the remodelling would involve adding two one-bedroom units and one efficiency unit in this basement area. He further indicated that no additions to the structure were proposed, except that the window-well areas would conform to the relevant safety codes regarding escape from basement areas in case of fire. Specifically, the applicant was request- ing a variance to land area requirements in that the additions would normally require 37,600 square feet and there existed 32,723 square feet. Also, a variance was required to parking requirements in that the plan called for 27 parking spaces and the code required 39 spaces. Mr. Dahlgren further indicated that the City ordinances disallowed efficiency units and that permission would have to be granted for the conversion of such a unit in the subject building. With respect to zoning, the land is currently zoned B-1 and the existing building is currently non-conforming. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the land be rezoned to R-3A to put the existing land use into conformance with the ordinance. Mr. Dahlgren further indicated that it appeared the parking would not be a problem because current occupancy required the use of only 16 spaces and that the addition of 3 units, even at two cars per unit, would only increase that to 22 cars. Discussion George Johnson asked if it would be possible to include small car parking require- ments in this request. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that since the parking area was so small, it would probably not be advantageous to include smaller parking sizes. The applicant indicated that he had an agreement with the clinic adjacent to his property to allow night time parking at that location. Mr. Rukavina indicated to the applicant that it would be advantageous to get a formal agreement with the clinic regarding the parking.
