BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park: Finding! 1. Wallace E. Freeman has made application to the City Council for a special permit under Section 14-195 of the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code for the purpose of constructing a curb cut located at the north side of Betty Crocker Drive 156 feet east of the west line of Lot 2, Block 3 Shelard Park. 2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission (Case No. 85 -24 -SP) and the effect of the proposed curb cut, as controlled, limited and restricted by Conditions 1 through 10, on the health, safety and welfare of the occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect on values of properties in the surrounding area, the effect of the use on the Comprehensive Plan, and compliance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The Council has determined that the curb cut, as controlled, limited and restricted by Conditions 1 through 10 and as protected by the special permit and a contractual agreement, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the community nor will it cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously depreciate surrounding property values, and the proposed curb cut is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. 4. The granting of this special use permit is contingent upon the Cities of St. Louis Park and Plymouth entering into an agreement whereby the City of Plymouth agrees to limit the use of the curb cut to Lots 1 and 2. Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and an area containing approximately 230,000 square feet and bounded by the northeasterly and easterly lines of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and a line 290 feet parallel to and easterly and northeasterly of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" by not issuing any buildings permits, special permits, conditional use permits or any other approvals for commercial development not to exceed 90,000 square feet of gross floor area including all buildings nor to allow access from abutting property to the east through said property. Conclusion The special permit to permit the construction of a curb cut at the location described is granted based on the findings set forth above and subject to the following conditions: 1. The curb cut be located 156 feet east of the west lot line of Lot 2, Block 3 Shelard Park. 2. The width of the curb cut shall be no greater than 25 feet measured at the north line of the right-of-way. 3. The design shall meet the City's specifications as contained in Exhibit A. (Exhibit is on file in the City Development Department at the City of St. Louis Park.) 4. The use of the curb cut is limited to Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and an area containing approximately 230,000 square feet and bounded by the northeasterly and easterly lines of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and a line 290 feet parallel to and easterly and northeasterly of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition." 5. The use is limited to a commercial development not to exceed 90,000 square feet of gross floor area including all buildings. Any deviation from this shall constitute a violation of the approval, shall void the special permit, and shall be cause for removal of the curb cut at the expense of the applicant. The City agrees to give written notice to the applicant or its successors and assigns of violation of the special permit. Failure to comply with all terms of the special permit voids the special permit and is cause for removal of the curb cut at the expense of the applicant. 6. The application and the approval with the signing of the assent form by the applicant constitute the applicant's concurrence to pay its fair share cost of all street improvement costs along the roadway, signal design and improvement at Ford Road or Nathan Lane should they be required, or other costs related to the future of the street. 7. The applicant recognizes and concurs there is to be no onstreet parking on Shelard Parkway. 8. The applicant concurs that the approval in no way serves as a basis for additional curb cuts or other approvals in connection with use of the street by development outside the City limits and recognizes that the City of St. Louis Park has the right to eliminate, modify or require the relocation of said curb cut. f 9. A covenant shall be placed on the property which restricts access and limits access to Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and an area containing approximately 230,000 square feet and bounded by the northeasterly and easterly lines of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" and a line 290 feet parallel to and easterly and northeasterly of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 "Willow Grove Second Addition" (Tract C) by way of the covenant and a total physical barrier shall be constructed along the entire boundary separating said area from abutting property (Tracts A and B from Tract C) and maintained thereafter by the applicant and the applicant's successors and assigns. Said covenant shall include the City and Shelard Development Company as parties to the covenant and said covenant shall be filed prior to the City of St. Louis Park's issuing the construction permit for the curb cut. Said barrier shall prohibit automotive movement across the barrier at all points and shall be no less than 2 feet high and 1 foot wide and shall be continuously maintained thereafter. A fixed barrier for emergency access may be constructed provided the use and design is limited to emergency vehicles only. Revision, modification or failure to maintain the barrier(s) or any other action which allows traffic from abutting property (either Tract A or B) to or into said area described in Condition No. 4 (Tract C) shall void the special permit and be cause for removal of the curb cut at the expense of the applicant. 10.
