City Planner Ridley gave a staff report noting the APC typically does not take action on Variances unless they are part of another request, such as this situation. The Variances were recommended for approval on split votes as the APC toiled with the "practical difficulty" Variance language in the City Code. The APC asked if parking stall standards could be discussed by the commission at a later date. Ridley noted additional discussion occurred regarding creation of a bypass lane to allow customers to circulate behind the building and exit onto Duckwood Drive. A revised Site Plan was prepared and received. Todd Geller representative of the property owner provided background information and an overview of the request and was available for questions. A representative of Caribou was available for questions. The Council discussed the proposed stall widths. Mr. Geller explained if they went to all 9' 6" foot stalls in the front of the building and 10 foot 90 degree stalls on the back parking stalls they would lose an additional four stalls. As proposed, the site would be four stalls short of the Code requirement. After more discussion, the Council was in agreement that all stalls shall be striped to be no less than 9' 6" wide with the understanding that the site would be eight stalls short. Mayor Maguire noted the City Code should match what the industry is using for parking stalls and deferred parking stall standards to be discussed at a future Advisory Planning Commission meeting. Councilmember Fields agreed with the Mayor but stated her preference for wider stalls due to the popularity of larger SUV's. Mayor Maguire noted he had a few concerns: 1) the back of the building receiving deliveries and the through traffic, and 2) the fire lane in the front of the building. Mr. Geller responded to the Mayor's concerns. City Council Meeting Minutes October 1, 2013 7 page Mayor Maguire asked if anyone in the audience would like to comment on the amendment.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (2014 -2018) DAKOTA COUNTY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve a resolution in support of Dakota County's draft 5 -year Transportation Capital Improvement Program for 2014 -2018 with a request to have Dakota County add a project including $2,200,000 of County costs for improvements to address Median/Widening /Access Modifications to CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road) between Yankee Doodle Road and Central Parkway with the following schedule: 2014 - Design, 2015 - Right -of- Way Acquisition, 2016 — Construction. FACTS: • At the May 14, 2013, Special Council Workshop, the Council reviewed and discussed the proposed Public Works Department's 5 -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2014- 2018. After consideration, the Council affirmed the draft CIP. • On June 4, the City Council approved the 5 -year CIP as discussed at the May 14 Council Workshop, including improvements to County Highways that are important to the City of Eagan. Since the County and City share the cost of all County Highway improvements on a 55/45 split, a comparison of our requests to the County's current CIP were forwarded to the County for consideration in preparing their next CIP (2014- 2018). • The Dakota County Transportation Department has now completed their draft 5 -year CIP for 2014 -2018 which is scheduled to be presented at a public hearing on November 7, 2013, in the Board Room at the County Administration Center in Hastings. • CSM has submitted a development proposal for the former Lockheed Martin site located northwest of the intersection of Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road in central Eagan. The anticipated development application influenced the initiation of the Pilot Knob Road Corridor Study in June, 2012. The City Council and County Board have both accepted the recommendations of the corridor study. The City of Eagan has included the recommendations as part of the current CIP (2014 - 2018). • In order to accommodate the potential redevelopment of the former Lockheed Martin site, the County will need to include programming of street improvements, including intersection and median modifications, to Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31), from Yankee Doodle Road to Central Parkway for design in 2014, right -of -way acquisition in 2015, and construction in 2016. This schedule would match that of the City's 2014 -2018 CIP. • After reviewing Eagan's CIP, as well as their own County Transportation Plan, with the noted additional request, the County will have included all of the County Highway improvements proposed by the City, such as major road upgrades. Although the County CIP doesn't reference specific signalized intersection or trail improvements, it does include funding for such minor improvements, but does not commit to individual project areas on a long range planning basis. • The County has now requested that the City formally approve the County's draft CIP for 2014 -2018. City staff has reviewed it and found it in order for favorable Council consideration with the requested addition.

FACTS: • The Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization ( GCLWMO) was formed June 1, 1985 through a joint powers agreement (Agreement) between the cities of Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, and Mendota Heights under authority conferred by Minn. Stats. §§ 471.59 and 10313.211. • The Agreement's purpose, consistent with Minn. Stats. § 103B.201, is to provide an organization to regulate the natural water storage and retention of the Gun Club Lake Watershed to: (1) protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; (2) minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; (3) identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; (4) establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; (5) prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; (6) promote groundwater recharge; (7) protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and (8) secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. • The Gun Club Lake Watershed is within the Minneapolis -St. Paul metropolitan area and covers 33.2 square miles of Dakota County. Of this area, Eagan comprises 89.0 percent, Inver Grove Heights 4.4 percent, and Mendota Heights 6.5 percent. • As a special purpose unit of government, the GCLWMO is directed by a board of managers who are appointed by member cities.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the City makes a formal request to dissolve the existing Joint Powers Agreement for the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Mendota Heights intends to transfer the area of the City currently regulated by the Gun Club Lake Watershed Management Organization into the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization.

In order for this to take place, the existing Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) would need to be dissolved, and a new JPA enacted between the remaining member cities. The City of Mendota Heights has adopted a Resolution formally requesting to dissolve the existing GCLWMO JPA, and we are asking for your cooperation in this endeavor as well by asking your respective Councils to do the same. At least two of the existing GCLWMO member cities will need to adopt formal Resolutions requesting dissolving the existing JPA. It would be best if all three agreed to support this action. The attached Resolution is for your reference in preparing an action for your respective City Councils. I am also willing to come to your City Council meetings to help .explain this request. The City of Mendota Heights intends on including the area of our city currently within the GCLWMO as part of our membership in the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization (LMRWMO), thus making essentially one WMO for our city. This would simplify our plans and processes as well as provide a single point of contact for our residents and property owners with regard to storm water issues. Once the existing GCLWMO JPA is dissolved, the existing LMRWMO JPA will need to be amended to include the new area of Mendota Heights, and a new JPA (or modification of an existing JPA) between Eagan and Inver Grove Heights will be needed in order to re- establish the WMO. The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) has already reviewed our request and is supportive of the change in jurisdictional boundaries. This action is based solely on Mendota Heights' desire to derive efficiencies and streamline processes with our city; and it is our sincerest desire to retain the superior working relationship we have always enjoyed with both the City of Eagan and the City of Inver Grove Heights. 35 As always, if there are any questions or if you would like to discuss this matter further, please give me a call.

VARIANCE 1684 GALWAY LANE- PLUNKETT ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a 1.3% Variance to the allowed 20% maximum building lot coverage for property located at 1684 Galway Lane, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Councilmernbers present. FACTS: ➢ The subject lot is 12,459 square feet in area and currently has a lot coverage of 19.2 %. ➢ The applicants are proposing to remove and replace an existing 14' x 16' deck with a two - tiered deck, with the upper 14' x 19' section screened and covered with a roof structure extending from the house. ➢ Since building coverage is detennined by measuring the area of all permanent roofed structures, the additional 266 square feet of covered space would cause the property to exceed the 20% building coverage requirement by 1.3 %. ➢ The applicants state that the existing deck faces south/southwest and receives a significant amount of direct sunlight making it difficult to use in the summer and fall months. According to the applicants, they have tried several methods to provide shade for the deck but would like to add a more pennanent cover to the deck area to make it more useful and safe. The applicants considered a 12' x 9' covered deck to meet the 20% o lot coverage requirements, but the supports would intersect with a bay of windows on the south side of the house and therefore, was not a reasonable option. ➢ The subject lot is at the corner of Galway Lane and Donegal Way with no immediate neighbors to the east. The lot and existing home is situated adjacent to the neighbor's rear yard, limiting the impact to the neighbor's lot. ➢ Letters of support from neighboring property owners were received and attached.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions(s) of this Chapter, the City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. WM Planning Report — 1684 Galway Lane (Plunkett Variance) October 15, 2013 Page 2 e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to properties in the same zone. g. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The ordinance also states "A variance will be denied when it is not in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning provisions of this Code or when the variance is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Any condition imposed upon the approved variance must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance." CODE REQUIREMENTS City Code Section 11.60, Subd. 5 E, allows a maximum 20% building lot coverage on properties zoned R -1 Single Family Residential. BACKGROUND /HISTORY The subject home was built in 1999 as part of the Murphy Farm subdivision. Standard zoning and platting requirements apply to the subject property. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Galway Lane and Donegal Way. The property contains an existing two -story house and garage on a 12,459 square foot lot. Current building coverage for this lot is 19.2 %. The house currently contains a 12' x 12' first floor, 4- season porch with a walls -out to a south facing 14' x 16' uncovered deck at the rear of the property. The deck and porch are supported over the basement level and were built with the original house. Existing deck and rear side of home r Planning Report— 1684 Galway Lane (Plunkett Variance) October 15, 2013 Paee 3 EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal — The applicants are proposing to remove and replace the existing deck with a two - tiered deck. The upper portion would be screened and covered with a roof structure extending from the house. The covered portion would measure 14' x 19', with stair access moved to the front. The lower portion would not be covered and extend west up to the 5' setback line. Although the proposed upper portion would be relatively similar in size and shape to the existing deck, 266 square feet would be added to the lot's building coverage due to the new roof structure. Since building coverage is determined by measuring the area of all permanent roofed structures, this would cause the property to exceed the 20 % building coverage requirement by 1.3 %. Variance Criteria — The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted from a required ordinance provision provided there are special conditions that apply to the subject land, the relief is not contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Guide Plan, and it is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty. The use of the subject lot as a single family home is not contrary to the Zoning Ordinance or Comprehensive Plan. The subject lot and existing house appear to be of similar size and character to other lots within the Murphy Fann subdivision, with lots on Galway Lane ranging from 12,200 square feet to 13,000 square feet. The average existing building lot coverage for these homes is 17.2 %. A letter of support from the adjacent neighbor is included and states that the proposed deck is offset a distance from their home and therefore will not interfere with their lot in anyway. APPLICANT'S PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES The applicants state in their written narrative that the existing deck faces south/southwest and receives a significant amount of direct sunlight making it difficult to use in the summer and fall months due to the sun and heat. According to the applicants, they have tried several methods to provide shade for the deck and installed a framework with rolling fabric shades. However, during one the several recent wind storms, the shades broke loose and damaged windows on the house. The applicants would like to add a more permanent cover to the deck area to make it more useful. The applicants considered a 12' x 9' covered deck to meet the 20% lot coverage requirements, but the supports would intersect with a bay of windows on the south side of the house and therefore, was not a reasonable option. The applicants state that the deck location is tucked in the corner of the house and not visible from the street. Also, the applicant's home is aligned with the neighbor's backyard as opposed to directly adjacent to the neighboring house due to the curvature of Galway Lane, limiting the impact on the neighbor's open space. Additionally, the applicant's home is on a corner with no adjacent neighbors to one side, with mature trees dividing the home to the neighbors to the south. The applicants believe that that the proposed deck and cover with not be significantly different than the existing structure, and due to the list of practical difficulties and unique circumstances listed above, the additional CW Planning Report — 1684 Galway Lane (Plunkett Variance) October 15, 2013 Page 4 covered space will not be detrimental to the purpose of the lot coverage requirement or adjacent properties. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION The applicants are requesting a 1.3% Variance to the allowed 20% maximum building coverage to reconstruct an existing deck and add a screen and roof structure to make better use of the space. It appears the proposed structure will not be significantly different in size to the existing deck and due to its location, will have minimal impact on surrounding property and open space. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a 1.3% Variance to the allowed 20% maximum building lot coverage for property located at 1684 Galway Lane, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use pennitted in the variance. 2. The new structure shall comply with all other applicable Zoning Ordinance and Building Code requirements.

The Applicants wish to enclose the upper level deck by screening it in and putting a roof over the deck. The hot tub deck will not be enclosed. The plan to screen in the upper level deck with a roof structure would cause the house roof area to be slightly over the 20% lot limit requirement (approx. 21.2 %). The Applicants had considered trying to stay within the 20% lot limit restriction, however, that would require the deck to be 12'x9'. The length of 12' would intersect with the window that is on the south side of the house, and therefore is not a reasonable option. The current deck is 14 years old. Although it has been dutifully maintained, the deck does face southwest and has endured a substantial amount of wear and tear as a result of the elements of sun, rain, snow and wind. The current deck is 16 feet wide; 20 feet wide including the stair way, and the proposed upper level deck that would replace it is 19 feet wide. In both cases, the deck extends just past the corner of the house in order to allow for a landing for the stairs. The stairs for the proposed deck would be moved from the west side of the deck to the front (south side) of the deck in order to place the hot tub spa on the west side of the deck. This allows the hot tub spa to be in a discrete location; hidden from the road and tucked behind the garage. Accordingly, the Applicants are requesting a variance from the zoning of 20% roof coverage provision to allow the construction of the screened -in upper level deck with a roof as set out in the project plan. As previously mentioned the deck faces southwest and receives a significant amount of direct sunlight, making it difficult to make use of the deck during the summer /fall months because of the heat and blinding sun. The Applicants have tried several methods to provide shade for the deck. They have installed a framework with rolling fabric shades that slide out to cover a portion of the deck. However, this location has been subject to several severe wind storms and during one of these storms, the rolling shades broke loose and smashed several windows on the house. Attempts to modify the framework did not work as the wind would continually stress the rolling shades until they would eventually break apart. With the replacement of the existing deck, the Applicants would like to provide permanent cover to the deck area to better enjoy use of the deck. The Applicants have considered installing a pergola structure on the deck as this would provide some relief from the direct sun. However, the Applicants do not believe it would provide sufficient relief as compared to a permanent cover such as a roof. Additionally, the estimate for constructing the pergola exceeds the cost of screening in the deck with a roof. RECEIVED SEP 2 2013 The project would begin immediately following approval of this variance and would be completed within one week of its initiation. The current deck is tucked into the corner of the house and is not visible from the street. The proposed plan would continue with the discrete placement, with only the stairway visible from the street. This area of the Applicants' home is adjacent to their neighbors' backyard, as opposed to next to the neighbor's home. The Applicants' home is on a corner, so there is no neighbor on the other side of the house. The neighbor's house behind the Applicants' home is divided by a line of mature trees and hardly visible. Applicants are attempting to provide permanent coverage for approximately the same deck area as the existing deck. Rather than installing some type of removable shading or a pergola structure, the plan is to screen in the deck and add a roof. Such a structure would not be significantly different from the current deck footprint with a pergola structure or removable shading structure but would provide substantially more protection from the weather elements and allow for consistent use of the space, at a lower cost to the Applicants. Thank you for your careful consideration. Katie and Ted Plunkett Applicants and Home Owners 1684 Galway Lane, Eagan, MN 55122 �1 REC IVIED SEP 2 5 2013 October 7, 2013 To Whom It May Concern, We are the next door neighbor to Katie and Ted Plunkett (1684 Galway Lane, Eagan, MN 55122), and we understand that it is their intent to rebuild their deck and screen in the main portion of it. The back of the Plunkett's home is set back substantially from the back of our home. Therefore, their deck is adjacent to southeast corner of our lot. That area of our lot is landscaped with grass and trees, and their deck does not obstruct our view or interfere with our lot in any way. We have reviewed the contractor's drawings and understand the general scope of the project. Since our home and deck are facing the same direction as the Plunkett's home and deck, we have faced the same challenge of constant sunlight, heat and wind when attempting to use our own deck. For these reasons, we support their effort to screen in their deck and know it will not interfere with our access to and enjoyment of our backyard. Sincerely, \r ` Steve and Barbara Moon 1688 Galway Lane Eagan, MN 55122 G� Agenda Information Memo October 15, 2013, Eagan City Council Meeting H. VARIANCE — HOLIDAY STATIONSTORES ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Variance of 127" to the required 25 -foot private street setback for construction of a building addition for property located at 1650 Diffley Road, subject to the conditions listed in staff report. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Councilmembers present. FACTS: ➢ The site was developed in 2004 with a convenience gas station and detached car wash. A conditional use permit (CUP) to allow these uses along with a pylon sign and gasoline sales was approved in 2003. ➢ A condition of the car wash CUP required the entry /exit doors be closed during the wash/dry cycles. The construction of the car wash did not accommodate this requirement. ➢ City staff alerted Holiday Stationstores of the issue after receiving a noise complaint in 2012 from a nearby resident. ➢ Holiday Stationstores purchased the property in 2007 and was unaware of the CUP condition. They propose a building addition to retrofit the car wash. ➢ The property fronts Diffley Road and two private streets, increasing setback requirements. ➢ The proposed addition would not meet the 25 -foot setback requirement from the private street to the south. ➢ The applicant's narrative indicates that removal of the car wash is not desirable as "The car wash has been operating for nearly 10 years and has become an integral part in the success of the store." ➢ It does not appear that granting of the Variance would result in detrimental effects to the neighboring properties or the public.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions(s) of this Chapter, the City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. l0') Planning Report — Holiday Variance October 15, 2013 Page 2 e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to properties in the same zone. g. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The Variance language in the City Code also contains the following: Subd. 3, A. "Practical difficulties" as used in conjunction with the granting of a variance, means that the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of this Code; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Subd. 3, B., 3. A variance will be denied when it is not in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning provisions of this Code or when the variance is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Any condition imposed upon the approved variance must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. BACKGROUND /HISTORY The Diffley Plaza property was platted in 2003 with the creation of seven lots. Four Conditional Use Permits (CUP) were approved for the subject property in 2003 to allow the following: a convenience store, gasoline sales, car wash and pylon sign. The Holiday convenience gas station and car wash were constructed in 2004. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site is 1.5 acres and consists of a 3,968 sq. ft. convenience gas station and a 3,080 sq. ft. detached car wash. SURROUNDING USES The subject site is surrounded by neighborhood business uses, zoned neighborhood business and guided retail commercial. Diffley Road is located to the North and I -35E to the East. Planning Report — Holiday Variance October 15, 2013 Page 3 EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area — Neighborhood Business districts are small business areas generally located adjacent to or in close proximity to residential neighborhoods that are intended to provide daily retail goods and services. As previously mentioned, CUP's were approved to allow a convenience store, gasoline sales, carwash and Pylon sign at this site. Proposal — The applicant proposes an addition onto the car wash in order to meet a condition of the 2003 CUP approval. Holiday's involvement with the property began in November, 2007 and they were unaware of the specific requirements of the CUP. The CUP required entry and exit doors to be closed during wash/dry cycles; however, the current configuration of the car wash does not allow for the exit doors to be closed during the dry cycle. City staff received a noise complaint from a homeowner located over 300 feet to the south and the applicant considered a number of solutions and arrived at the proposed building addition as the only viable option to meeting the original requirement. New building mounted lights are proposed to match the existing lights; otherwise, no other site modifications are proposed. Setbacks — The proposed building addition encroaches 12' 7" into the 25' setback requirement from a private street. All other setbacks are met. VARIANCE The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted from a required ordinance provision where practical difficulties result from carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of such Code provision, provided "the applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning provisions of this Code; the plight of the applicant is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the applicant; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties." The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted provided exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. The owner of the property is not the original developer /owner and was unaware of the condition of approval requiring the overhead doors to be closed during wash /dry cycles. To comply with the condition, a building addition is necessary. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. Many gasoline /convenience stores offer a car wash as part of the business. The applicant's narrative states, "The car wash has been operating for nearly 10 years and has become a very important offering to the area which plays an integral part in the success of the store." 01 Planning Report — Holiday Variance October 15, 2013 Paize 4 The exception or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. As previously mentioned, the current owner was recently made aware of a condition of approval which impacts the existing building. In addition, the property is located along three street frontages with two being private streets. This requires additional setback distances compared to side and rear yards. The granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this chapter to owners of other lands, structures or building sin the same district. The building is existing and granting of the Variance would bring the structure into compliance with the original intent of the building and site. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. According the applicant, the proposed addition is the size necessary to "correct a deficient design by another party in order to meet an important condition of the CUP." The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Code, or to other properties in the same zone. It does not appear that granting of the Variance would result in detrimental effects to the adjacent properties or the public. The granting of the Variance would have a positive impact on the surrounding properties as it would assist with the reduction in noise from the car wash. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The proposal meets this factor. APPLICANT'S PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES The applicant's narrative states, "The Variance is necessary to bring the car wash into conformance with the Conditional Use Permit granted to the developer of this site on July 1, 2003." Further, the applicant explains they were first notified of the situation in late December 2012. Since then the applicant explains they have researched options and "short of tearing down and completely rebuilding the car wash, Holiday's proposal to extend the car wash building is the only means possible to correct a deficient design by another party in order to meet an important condition of the CUP. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION In summary, the applicant is requesting a Variance of 127" to allow a building addition to the existing car wash. The proposed addition will bring the car wash into compliance with the 2003 conditions of the CUP approval requiring the entry and exit doors to be closed during the entire wash/dry cycles. Planning Report — Holiday Variance October 15, 2013 Page 5 While the building was constructed in 2004, complaints from a neighbor to the south brought the issue to attention. The owner has determined the only viable option is the building addition, which given the existing configuration of the building on the site, does not meet setback requirements. If approved, the applicant intends to complete the addition by June 1, 2014. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Variance of 127' to the required 25 -foot private street setback for construction of a building addition for property located at 1650 Diffley Road. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the variance. 2. A building permit shall be required prior to construction of the building. 3. The building shall not exceed the size shown on the proposed Site Plan received September 23, 2013. 4. All mechanical equipment shall be screened from views from off the site, consistent with the provisions in the City Code. 5. The proposed addition shall be designed to match the existing materials of the car wash. k0b Location Map Legend i 1 Feet Project Name: Holiday Stationstores o 500 1,000 2,000 1650 Diffley Road ® PARCELS 08 -2013 selection Request: Variance Case No: 28- VA- 08 -09 -13 #kfflyflap t crl Buildings selection 3 PARCELS 08 -2013 Buildings Parks / City Boundary N Current Zoning and Land Use Map City of EaRn Application: Holiday Stationstores Type: Variance Case No.: 28-VA-08-09-13 Zoning NB Neighborhood Business Land Use Plan RC Retail Commercial N 0 300 600 1,200 ammmm=��� Feet f < U �D U� EY ROAD) C.S.A.

The variance is necessary to bring the car wash into conformance with the Conditional Use Permit granted to the developer of this site on July 1, 2003. Background: The Conditional Use Permit was one of 4 granted to the Coen Development Group, LLC to allow the group to develop a gasoline /convenience store on the site for the property owners with whom Holiday had no ownership or operating relationship. Holiday's involvement with the property began November 1, 2007 when we entered into an operating and management lease with the owners. The property owners put their trust into a very experienced gasoline /convenience store developer, the Coen Group, to bring the development through the City process, obtain the necessary permits and build the store according to the conditions of said permits. The Coen Group obviously failed to build the car wash to meet "Condition A." which requires that the "Entry and exit doors shall be closed during wash /dry cycles." The violation of this condition went unnoticed from the buildings inception until late December 2012 when a neighbor brought the issue to the attention of the City. The development is zoned Neighborhood Business and is immediately surrounded by the Diffley Plaza commercial development to the south and east, Diffley Road to the north and Interstate 35E along the northwest. The secondary ring around Diffley Plaza has single family residential to the south that rises above the development, as well as a townhouse development across Diffley to the north. The existing Comp Plan designates the area as RC /Retail Commercial both currently and in the 2030 Comp Plan. The car wash at the center of the issue lies along the western property line in an angular fashion from northwest to southeast, with the exit facing the Kowalski's Market parking lot and ultimately the single family residences up the hill from the Diffley Plaza development. ;D EP ? 2013 � `' Current Status: Since being made aware of the issue, Holiday has been working on finding a proper solution. After working closely with the adjacent property owner to solve the problem, it became apparent that the only viable option was to build an addition onto the building that would be large enough to hold a car exiting the wash track between two garage doors to allow the existing garage door to close behind the car before opening the new garage door at the front of the car. The Variance Request: On behalf of the property owners, Holiday is requesting a 12' 7" variance to the City's 25 foot setback requirement. The hardship for the requested variance is that short of tearing down and completely rebuilding the car wash (which is not financially feasible), Holiday's proposal to extend the car wash building is the only means possible to correct a deficient design by another party in order to meet an important condition of the CUP. The car wash has been operating for nearly 10 years and has become a very important offering to the area which plays an integral part in the success of the store. The proposed building addition is designed to match the existing materials that the car wash was originally built with. Holiday appreciates City staff's time to review and present our request, and the City Council's consideration in granting the variance to allow us to build the necessary addition to the car wash. Dave Edquist Holiday Stationstores, Inc. Appendix: PID # 10- 20500 -01 -060 1 o (0 Agenda Information Memo October 15, 2013 Eagan City Council Meeting I. VARIANCE — KOHL'S ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve (or direct preparation of Findings of Fact for Denial) a Variance to the exterior finish materials standards for a commercial building fagade remodel for the Kohl's store located at 1350 Town Centre Drive, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. REQUIRED VOTE FOR APPROVAL: Majority of Councihnembers Present FACTS: ➢ Kohl's is proposing to remodel the front building fagade of the store located at 1350 Town Centre Drive. No changes to the building footprint are proposed. ➢ The Kohl's building was constructed in 1994, and the property is zoned CSC, Community Shopping Center. ➢ The zoning ordinance specifies exterior surface materials of newly constructed buildings in the CSC zoning district provide at least two Class I materials comprising 65% of the finish, and not more than 35% Class II or III materials (adopted in 2006). ➢ In evaluating exterior remodels, it has been the City's policy that existing conforming building remain in compliance, and existing nonconforming buildings move toward greater compliance with these materials standards. ➢ As proposed, Class I materials are reduced from 68% to 57% and Class II and III materials would increase from 32% to 43 %, resulting in a nonconforming building exterior. ➢ Because a conforming exterior finish would become nonconforming, the proposal appears to be contrary to the zoning ordinance. ➢ The applicant indicates that the fagade changes are an upgrade and complimentary with the building, and are intended to incorporate the brand image that Kohl's is using for their remodeling program that has been used at over 100 other Kohl's locations. ➢ The stated practical difficulty is that complying with the ordinance would require the applicant to deviate from its brand image design. ➢ The circumstances upon which the Variance is based appear to be the result of the actions of the applicant.

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.50, Subdivision 3, B., 3, states that the Council may approve, approve with conditions or deny a request for a variance. In considering all requests for a variance, and whether the applicant established that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions(s) of this Chapter, the City Council shall consider the following factors: a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, and result from lot size or shape, topography, or other circumstances over which the owner of property has no control. b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Code would deprive the applicant property use commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the provisions of this Code. c. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. IN Planning Report — 1350 Town Centre Drive (Kohl's) October 15, 2013 Page 2 d. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Chapter to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. e. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Code or to properties in the same zone. g. The property for which the variance is requested is otherwise in compliance with the City Code. The ordinance also states "A variance will be denied when it is not in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning provisions of this Code or when the variance is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. Any condition imposed upon the approved variance must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance." CODE REQUIREMENTS City Code Sec. 11.70, Subd. 21 -B provides the following classifications of building finish materials: Class I — Brick, glass, natural stone, architectural metal panels, Class II — Specialty concrete block (e.g. textured, burnished or rock -face block), masonry stucco, manufactured stone Class III — Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS), precast textured concrete panels, glass block, ornamental metal as an accent, cement -based and architectural products (e.g. Quick -Brick and Hardie Board) Class IV — Smooth concrete block, smooth scored concrete block, smooth concrete tip up panels, ceramic, wood The ordinance, adopted in 2006, specifies that exterior surface materials of newly constructed building in the CSC zoning district shall provide "at least two Class I materials, and the building must be finished with at least 65 percent Class I materials, not more than 35 percent Class II or Class III materials, and not more than ten percent Class IV materials." BACKGROUND /HISTORY The Kohl's building was constructed in 1994. The property is zoned Community Shopping Center. The property is located within the Central Commons Special Area, as identified in the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. Within the Special Area, this parcel is designated for Retail Commercial land uses. 0 Planning Report — 1350 Town Centre Drive (Kohl's) October 15, 2013 Page 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The property contains a 104,000 s.£ Kohl's retail store and associated surface parking. The building is situated at the east end of the site, with parking to the west. Access to the site is provided via Town Centre Drive, and is shared with adjacent buildings, Wal -Mart and Town Centre. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Proposal — According to the submitted narrative, Kohl's is proposing a "minor exterior fagade remodel." The scope of work is limited to the front elevation, and focused on the building entrances to include replacement of "glass pull doors with new glass auto - sliding doors, new painted prefabricated EIFS panels over existing storefront, new white aluminum column wraps over existing steel columns, new tube steel `eyebrow' painted white to match existing, and new aluminum storefront with white metal infill panels above existing storefront." No changes to the building footprint or parking areas are proposed. Variance Criteria — The Zoning Ordinance states that relief may be granted from a required ordinance provision provided there are special conditions that apply to the subject land, the relief is not contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Guide Plan, and it is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty. Evaluation — The applicant has provided existing (top image) and proposed (bottom image) building elevations of the front fagade of the building. As proposed, Class I materials are reduced from 68% to 57 % (65% minimum required), and Class II and III materials would increase from 32% to 43% (35% maximum allowed). These proposed ratios are not consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and the currently conforming building finish would become nonconforming. While the zoning ordinance specifies that the materials standards apply to "newly constructed buildings," it has been the City's policy for remodeling of existing buildings that existing conforming buildings remain in compliance and for nonconforming buildings, that the new finish materials move toward greater compliance with the materials standards. The finish materials ordinance is intended to provide for the use of appropriate, durable, non- degradable, and low maintenance materials. The purpose is to provide buildings that are attractive in appearance, durable and compatible with adjacent structures and consistent with the city's standards for the district in which it is located. While the ordinance does not include specific standards for remodeling of existing buildings, the ordinance was anticipated to prompt upgrades of existing buildings as new buildings meeting the design standards of the ordinance were constructed. ta\ Planning Report — 1350 Town Centre Drive (Kohl's) October 15, 2013 Page 4 Thus, the proposed Variance appears is contrary to the Zoning Ordinance. The stated practical difficulty is that complying with the ordinance would require the applicant to deviate from its brand image design. Staff does not take issue with the applicant's narrative that the proposal is complimentary and attractive. However, staff asserts that a similarly attractive building appearance can be achieved utilizing materials that would maintain compliance with the City's Zoning Ordinance. In this way, the circumstances upon which the Variance is based appear to be the result of the actions of the applicant. APPLICANT'S PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES The applicant states that the proposed facade changes are intended to incorporate the brand image that Kohl's is using for their remodel prograin, which would be consistent with the remodeling done at over 100 other Kohl's locations. The applicant believes the facade modifications are an upgrade and are complimentary with the existing building. SUMMARY /CONCLUSION In summary, Kohl's is proposing to remodel the front building facade consistent with the brand image utilized at other Kohl's buildings. As a result, the proportion of Class I materials would be reduced from 68% to 57% (65 % minimum required) and Class II and III materials would increase from 32% to 43% (35 % maximum allowed). While the requested remodel will provide an attractive finish, the finish materials, as proposed, will result in a nonconforining building exterior. As such, the Variance appears to be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance, and the circumstances appear to be the result of the actions of the applicant. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To approve a Variance to the exterior finish materials standards for a commercial building facade remodel for the Kohl's store located at 1350 Town Centre Drive. If approved, the following conditions should apply: If within one year after approval, the variance shall not have been completed or utilized, it shall become null and void unless a petition for extension has been granted by the council. Such extension shall be requested in writing at least 30 days before expiration and shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the variance. 2. A building permit is required prior to commencing construction. 3. Sign permits are required for installation of any signs. ka(?- Location Map Project Name: Kohl's Request: Variance Case No: 15- VA- 09 -09 -13 City of 6a�an tia-�> I Feet D 250 500 1,000 Legend ® PARCELS 08 -2013 selection Buildings selection 3 PARCELS 08 -2013 Buildings Parks N AIM L® City Boundary Current Zoning and Land Use Map City of Ea�a� Application: Kohl's Type: Variance Case No.: 15- VA- 09 -09 -13 Zoning CSC Community Shopping Center Land Use Plan SA /RC Special Area/ Retail Commercial Z\ N 0 300 600 1,200 Feet CSC PD Lj GB PD p / ............................................. ...............................

We are planning on submitting the exterior drawings for this project to the City for permit shortly after Planning approval is confirmed in order to coordinate with the interior construction start date early next year. The exterior scope of work is limited to the front elevation specifically at the existing entrance /exit ways. The scope at the entries will include replacement of select glass pull doors with new glass auto - sliding doors, new painted prefabricated EIFS panels over existing structure, new white aluminum column wraps over existing steel columns, new tube steel "eyebrow" painted white to match existing, and new aluminum storefront with white metal infill panels above existing storefront. No modifications to the existing building core footprint, structure, signage, sidewalks, parking or landscaping are proposed as part of the scope of work. The enclosed proposed elevation is being submitted to you for your review and approval of a variance to the Eagan City Code Sec. 11.70, Subd. 21 -B. The proposed elevation will be reducing the amount of existing Class 1 materials from 68% down to 57% and increasing the existing Class 2 and 3 materials from 32% to 43 %. This increase in Class 2 and 3 materials is necessary to incorporate the brand image that Kohl's is using for their remodel program. They have currently remodeled over 100 locations with this brand image and would like to continue to do so at this location. We hope you will find the proposed fagade upgrades to be complimentary with the existing building.
