EDEN PRAIRIE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
Monday, November 5, 1973 8:00 P.M., Village Hall
Members Present: Roger Pauly, Jerry Miller, Tony Hirt
I. Minutes of October 16, 1973
These minutes were approved without correction.
II. Variance Requests
Roth Distributing Co. Front yard setback and parking in front yard setback.
Lot 5, Bock 1, Edenvale Industrial Park.
Mr. Don Peterson of Eden Land Corporation explained the three problems on this
lot approximately 5 acres.
1. The building to be built on this particular lot was meant to be served
by a railroad spur.
2. Northern States Power has a high line which will not allow a building
closer than 75 feet.
3. A large area on the northern part of this lot has bad soil which does
not allow a building to be placed on it.
Doug Lund of the Lund-Martin Co. showed a sketch of the proposed building
and explained why the request was made to place a small part of the building
within the 50 foot front setback.
• Mr. Lund said that if the building were placed further to the north, on the
bad soil , the cost of building would make it impossible to build.
He also explained that the railroad is limited as to the change in grade and
the arc in which can turn.
Mr. Lund said that after exhausting every other possibility of building place-
ment they arrived at the one that was proposed.
This placement put the three front corners of the building at 30 feet, 45 feet
and 60 feet.
The required front setback in this I2 Park is 50 feet.
The parking in the front yard setback was mentioned but was not the major issue.
It was mentioned that this was necessary for handicapped parking according to
State Building Code.
Tony Hirt moved that the appeal be denied with respect to Section 17 or Zoning
Ordinance #135. Mr. Miller seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
