The building is proposed as two-story with basement. 8asement is to be used as warehouse, first floor is to be used as retail , warehouse and shipping/receiving, and second floor is to be used as office. A Fabcon, tilt-up concrete panel system is designated as the structural system. Site constraints mentioned as contributing hardships to necessitate waiver included pie-shaped site configuration, roadway easements and thirty-five (35) foot setbacks on two sides to Watertown Road and Olson Memorial Highway. The proximity of Golden Valley Lanes, 9220 Olson Memorial Highway to the east lot line of this site was recoynized as a contributing factor in site development by Frances Meany. John Liss indicated that the parking requirement of 73 spaces had been met and exceeded by provision of 74 spaces, two of which are to be designated for handicapped use. The ownership of property immediately to the west was questioned by John Liss and would be looked into for possible acquisition at a later date. Mike Sell raised the question of a possible alternative, proposing an enlarged green area to Olson Memorial Highway and waiver of parking requirements. This was considered a less advantageous alternative due to the character of Highway 55 and parking requirements for this use. Art Flannagan moved to grant approval of the petition for waiver as presented. Second by Herb Polachek and upon motion carried unanimously.
