Zoning Administrator Frolik explained the 20 feet was requested by the City Engineer and is not specifically required by City Code. Board Member Johnson stated that he would be in favor of granting the variance due to the extra 20 foot setback the City is requesting for the frontage road. If they did not give the 20 feet to the City, then there would not be a need for that variance. Chairperson Anderson stated that it is apparent that eventually there will be a Highway #10 service and appreciates the City's attempt to preserve a corridor for the frontage road. Motion by Board Member Johnson, seconded by Board Member Nixt, to adopt Resolution #99- 09-168A adopting Findings of Fact #0504 relating to a request for a variance from rear yard setback requirements at 6111 Highway #10 Northwest. Further discussion: Consensus was reached to change #8 of the findings of facts to read "That there are unique circumstances applying to the Subject Property that do not generally apply to other properties in the B-3 Highway Business district due to the preservation of a 20 foot corridor for a future service road. Lowell Zitzloff, 5790 Hardstrap Circle, Minnetrista, stated that he had looked at several lots on Highway #10 for his building. He was told by City Staff that there would probably be a frontage road on the property in the future, but were not sure if it would run to the front or the back of the property. He informed Staff that he would be willing to work with the City on the placement of the building, but in doing so it is limiting the amount of land he can build on. Board Member Dempsey questioned how many mini-storage units are proposed. Mr. Zitzloff explained that he was not sure at this time. Board Member Dempsey questioned if all of the garage doors will be facing the court yard. Mr. Zitzloff replied yes. Chairperson Anderson stated that it is more important to plan for the service road rather than be concerned over a rear yard set back variance. Consensus was reached to change #6 of the f'mdings of facts to read "The proposed location of the main building meets the front and side yard setback requirements but encroaches on the rear setback by seven feet at the northwest comer of the main building and increasing to an encroachment of 14.5 feet at the northeast comer."
