APPROVING A VARIANCE APPLICATION FROM WESTSIDE WHOLESALE TIRES
LOCATED AT 19925 75T" AVENUE NORTH (PID 26-119-23-14-0018) (CITY FILE 22-011)
WHEREAS, Westside Wholesale Tire ("the applicant") has requested approval of a variance to
allow a 45-foot wide curb cut on property legally described as follows:
Lot 5, Block 4, Countryside Plaza 2nd Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the variance at a duly called public meeting.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA.
1. The review was based on the application and plans received by the City on February 2,
2022, February 4, 2022, February 18, 2022, and the revised site plan received on May 2,
2. The variance to allow a 45-foot side curb cut where a maximum of 32 feet is allowed, is
approved based on the following findings:
a. There are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance and the
applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner.
b. That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to
this business which provides service to a variety of professional drivers and
residents and owns property on both sides of 751" Avenue.
c. That the granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the
locality because it will allow the applicant to resolve a code enforcement issue
and the resulting site will be more consistent with the area than the existing
condition as it will reduce the curb cut from the existing unpermitted condition.
d. The proposed variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of the Ordinance because it would resolve a code enforcement issue and
allow for a paved parking lot screened outside storage, which is in the
community's best interest.
e. The variance would allow development that is consistent with the uses
anticipated in the comprehensive plan.
f. The City may impose conditions on the variance to address the impact of the
variance. The ordinance requires 21 trees and 34 shrubs to be planted on site.
As a condition of the variance, those planting should be focused in the front yard
to mitigate for the loss of green space.
