Existing Site Plan Proposed Site Plan
Background
The project area is the former Famous Dave's restaurant, which had previously been a KFC res-
taurant. The site has been vacant since the exodus of the previous use. The property is 0.67 acres
in gross land area, and the existing building has a gross floor area of 2,970 square feet.
Planning Considerations
Comprehensive Plan— Future Land Use Designation
The future land use map in the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows this property
to be guided Commercial. The proposed development is consistent with that designation.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Charlene Stevens
Merchants Bank Relocation
February 23, 2016
Page 3 of 9
Zoning
This parcel is currently zoned within the General Business District (B-3). The proposed use is
consistent with that zoning designation.
Conditional Use Permit/Ordinance Requirements
The City ordinance requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for a drive-through. The two previous
uses were operating a drive-through under a CUP granted by Resolution No. 1999-67. It has been
determined that the existing approval for the drive-through is still valid for the proposed use.
Development Summary
In response to changing banking practices and in conjunction with the Grove Plaza redevelopment
project, Merchants has proposed acquiring the former Famous Dave's restaurant and remodeling
the interior and exterior of the existing building. The applicant is also requesting a variance to add
an additional drive lane for an ATM access point.

Expansion Area Detail
Site Plan
Setbacks
With the exception of the requested setback modification for the drive-through lane, the minimum
setbacks for the property are not impacted by the proposed expansion of the use on the site. The
setback area between the northern property line would be reduced from 21 feet to 5 feet. The
distance from the new lane to the adjacent public bituminous trailway would be 25 feet and 40
feet to back of curb.
Architecture
The current exterior elevation of the building is proposed to be entirely remodeled. The submitted
documentation indicates that the City's minimum architectural standards related to materials and

Floor Plan '
Utilities
The subject property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and the pro- ;
posed use would be adequately served by public utilities. Prior to the building permit issuance, a
revised analysis on the Sewer Availability Connection (SAC) requirement will need to be submit-
ted with the Metropolitan Council for SAC determination. ,
�
Parking
The proposed use requires 12 parking spaces per the current parking ordinance criteria of one
space per 250 gross square feet. The existing and proposed parking provided on the site is 21
spaces. '
;
Traffic/Access
The current internal drive aisles and the two ingress/egress points for vehicular traffic supporting
vehicular movements to, from, and within the shopping center are not proposed to be modified by ;
the proposed expansion of the use on the site. The applicant will need to coordinate with the other ;
property owners in the plat on the continued maintenance of the access drives in order to keep
them in good condition, which are safe and passible for the public
Pedestrian Access ;
The current sidewalks and trailways supporting pedestrian movements to, from, and within the
shopping center are not proposed to be modified by the proposed expansion of the use on the
site.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Charlene Stevens
Merchants Bank Relocation

Page 6 of 9
Surface Water Management
The existing surFace water management system supporting the treatment and conveyance of sur-
face water generated within the site is not proposed to be modified by the proposed retrofit of the
use on the site. The surFace water management for the proposed additional impervious surFace on
the site shall be addressed by the payment of an off-site ponding fee of $2,364.02 which shall be
paid at the time of the building permit.
Tree Preservation
No trees within the shopping center development are proposed to be removed or modified by the
proposed expansion of the use on the site.
Signage
No additional sign information was provided with the application material, but any signage would
need to be in compliance with the approved sign plan for the shopping center and City Code.
Landscaping
A landscaping plan was submitted showing additional landscaping adjacent to the drive-through
expansion area. Portions of the proposed landscaping is identified as being located within the
public right-of-way. Whenever an existing use on a property comes before the City for review, the
practice has been to ensure that the landscaping on a site is healthy and meets the original ap-
proved landscape plan. Any approvals or permits related to this application should include
language requiring the replacement of any dead or missing landscaping by June 30, 2016.

Landscaping Plan Detail
Area Charges
The payment of the required area charges for the parcel were satisfied with the platting of the
property.
Park Dedication
The payment of the required park dedication requirement for the parcel was satisfied with the
platting of the property through the dedication of land and cash.
Variance
With any variance request, the Planning Commission must look to the zoning ordinance for guid-
ance and direction. Title 11-2-7, Variances, states that:
A. Authority And Purpose: The council may grant variances from the strict application of the provisions of this title
and impose conditions and safeguards in the variances so granted in cases where there are practical diffi-
culties or particular hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the regulations of this title.
D. Consideration By Planning Commission;Recommendation:Before authorization of any variances, the request
therefor shall be referred to the planning commission, and for its recommendation to the city council for the
granting of such variance from the strict application of the provisions of this title so as to relieve such practical
difficulties to the degree considered reasonable without impairing the intent and purpose of this title and the
comprehensive plan. The planning commission shall recommend such conditions related to the variance,
regarding the location, character and other features of the proposed building, structure or use, as it may
deem advisable. The planning commission shall make its recommendation within sixty (60) days after the
request is referred to it, unless the applicant requests, in writing, that an extension of time for review be
granted by the planning commission.
The planning commission may recommend a variance from the strict application of the provision of this title,
if they find that:
1. The variance is in harmony with the purposes and intent of this title.
2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Charlene Stevens I
Merchants Bank Relocation
February 23, 2016 ',
Page 8 of 9
3. The proposal puts the property to a reasonable use. I
�
4. There are unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner. ,
5. That the conditions upon which an application for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land I
for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same
zoning classification. ;
�
6. That the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a financial hardship.
7. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land II
or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
8. That the proposed variance will not impair an adeguate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or I
substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger
the public safety. ,
The applicant's response to the ordinance criteria is attached. The City's Technical Review Com-
mittee recommended approval of the variance request. ,
Public Hearing Notices
The public hearing notice was published in the South Washington County Bulletin on February
10, 2016. Public meeting notices were mailed to the 23 property owners who are within 500 feet '
of the property on February 10, 2016. �
I
Summary ,
1) The proposed use is compliant with the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan. �
2) The proposed use is permitted under the current zoning classification for the property. '
�
3) The proposed development is adequately served by public utilities. I,
4) The expansion of the drive lane and subsequent setback reduction would not constitute a
detriment to adjacent properties and surrounding land uses.
;
5) The action on the site plan is dependent on an affirmative action of the variance. '
Findings of Fact
The findings of fact established in relation to the variance request are as follows:
A. The addition of a dedicated ATM access lane will reduce potential traffic conflict internal to the
site if the ATM were to be located elsewhere.
B. The property was not originally constructed as a bank, which requires ATM access to vehicles
as a component of a successful operation.
;
C. Additional landscaping will be provided to screen the access lane from the public right-of-way.
;
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Charlene Stevens I

�
D. The requested variance facilitates the redevelopment of a commercial property that has a
history of long term vacancy. i
E. The variance allows for an existing commercial entity in the City to continue as an active part
of the community. '
Recommendation �
That the City Council approve the site plan to convert a restaurant to a bank and a variance to
reduce the front yard setback area between the northern property line and the new drive through
lane from 21 feet to 5 feet at 8479 East Point Douglas Road South, subject to the conditions '
stipulated in the attached draft resolution. �
