WHEREAS, Scannell Properties 162, LLC has applied for a variance to the parking

unaddressed property located at the southwest quadrant of Commerce Drive and Lemay Avenue
in the Mendota Heights Business Park (PID 27- 48273 -02 -010, Lot 1, Block 2 Mendota Height

regular meeting August 27, 2013.

variance to the parking setbacks as proposed in planning case 2013 -13 is hereby approved with
the condition that the applicant work with City staff to enhance the landscaping along the
parking area and the following findings of fact:
1. Common width and loading area circulation needs constricts the usable area of the
property from east to west.
2. A 10 foot parking setback is not uncommon in the immediate neighborhood for industrial
property.
3. Additional landscaping along the parking boundary will help to mitigate the impacts of
the parking area encroachment along the west frontage.
4. Parcels across Commerce Drive from this encroachment are not likely to be impacted by
the variance as proposed.
5. Use of the property — with the building width as designed — is a reasonable one for the
site in question.
6. The proposed site is irregular in shape, is bounded by public streets on three sides, and
the narrowness of the east /west dimension poses practical difficulties.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this third day of September, 2013.
