Based on that study and review, this ordinance was developed and is offered for a public hearing this evening.

The three lots were combined into one parcel in the early 1960s for tax purposes. The uncombining or resubidiving of the lots requires City approval. The requested variance would allow a metes and bounds division of land that would leave resulting lots meeting the minimum lot width and area requirements and having no setback deficiencies or property line encroachments. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this application at its May 11, 2000, meeting. There was a motion by Councilmember Peppe, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to approve Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -005 submitted by Charles and Vivian Cloutier subject to the following two conditions: 1. The legal descriptions and survey showing the re- establishment of the underlying parcels and the division of land shall be filed with Hennepin County. 2. The City Assessor is authorized to process the resubdivision in conjunction with Hennepin County and to acknowledge the newly established legal descriptions. Motion passed unanimously. 8b.

Planning and Zoning Specialist Ron Warren explained that the applicants are requesting to place a trash disposal unit 4 ft. wide, 4 ft. high, and 5 ft. in length either inside their garage or on the side of their garage on a concrete slab in a screened area. The applicants operate a carpet removal business out of their home and provide carpet removal services at off -site locations. Their business is a permitted home occupation not requiring formal approval by the City. The use of the large trash receptacle puts the business into the Special Use Permit category. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this application and recommended approval at its May 11, 2000, meeting, subject to six conditions which Mr. Warren reviewed. Council Members discussed frequency and time of trash pickup, location of trash disposal unit on collection day, and whether the garbage service is required to recycle the materials. Councilmember Peppe recommended one additional condition relative to the location of the trash disposal unit on collection day so the location is clearly defined. Erick and Susan Bates, applicants residing at 6413 Noble Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding location of the trash disposal unit on collection day. Councilmember Hilstrom raised the issue of limiting the trash collection frequency. Mr. McCauley said the frequency limitation could be incorporated into the additional condition along with set hours for pickup and location of trash disposal unit. Mr. Bates requested the additional condition also include that the trash disposal unit have locking wheels. There was a motion by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Lasman to approve Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -006 submitted by Erick and Susan Bates subject to the following seven conditions: 1. The Special Use Permit is granted for a carpet removal home business that will involve the use of a 4 ft. wide, 4 ft. high, and 5 ft. long covered and locked trash disposal unit for the storage and disposal of discarded carpet and pads. This use may not be altered or expanded in any way not comprehended by this application without first securing an amendment to the Special Use Permit. 2. The Special Use Permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. 3. The trash container unit may only be used for discarded carpet and carpet pads and shall not be used for collecting and storing refuse, rubbish, trash, yard waste or 05/22/00 -7- recyclable materials. 4. The applicants are required to house the trash container unit within a 6 ft. high opaque screening structure with an opaque locked gate, except for when routine pick up is conducted. 5. The trash container shall be tethered or securely fastened in such a way as to keep it secure from rolling loose. Rollers or wheels both front and back must be locked when out of the screened area. 6. All vehicle parking associated with the home occupation shall be off street on an improved space. Vehicle parking on the property shall be in compliance with Section 19 -103, Subdivision 12, of the City Ordinances. 7. The contents of the container shall be collected not more than three times per week. Collection must be between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 8c.

Mr. Warren explained that the applicant's home in Minneapolis is being acquired by eminent domain to make way for the Humboldt Greenway project. The applicant would like to relocate the two - family dwelling to 5411 Bryant Avenue North. The lot is zoned R -2 and is 63 ft. wide by 136 ft. deep with an area of 8,568 sq. ft. and contains a garage which was accessory to a single family home that was recently demolished. Section 35 -400 of the City Ordinances defines the minimum lot requirements, and a two - family dwelling interior lot is required to have a minimum lot width of 75 ft. (at the building setback line) and a minimum land area of 6,200 sq. ft. per unit or a total of 12, 400 sq. ft. The lot in question is sub - standard, or too small, for the two - family dwelling that the applicant would like to move onto it. A variance may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that all of the standards for variances contained in the Zoning Ordinance are met. It is staff's opinion that none of the standards for variance are met with respect to the applicant's request. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this application and recommended denial at its May 11, 2000, meeting. A resolution denying the requested variance was presented to the City Council for consideration.

Mr. Warren reviewed Planning Commission Application No. 2000 -008 and explained that Hennepin County acquired 3.352 acres of land south of the Hennepin County Regional Service Center and seeks to rezone it to C -1A which is the same zoning classification as the Service Center. The Planning Commission found the rezoning request to be consistent with the rezoning evaluation 05/22/00 -9- policy and the City's Comprehensive Plan and recommended approval at its May 11, 2000, meeting. A resolution approving the rezoning request was presented to the City Council for consideration.

The City received a request from Hennepin County to waive the requirement for the financial guarantee in condition 43. Mr. Warren noted the architect, engineer, and a representative from Hennepin County is present if the Council wished to address questions. Councilmember Nelson raised the issue of costs related to street improvements at the intersection of John Martin Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway at the Service Center's south entrance.
