Background
Staff report prepared by Shawn Kaye, Associate Planner
Turfco Manufacturing, Inc., professional lawn care equipment manufacturer, currently operates out of the building at 1655 101st Avenue NE in Blaine. Turfco will be subdividing their property into two parcels to provide a land exchange within the company ownership. The property owner of Parcel 2 wishes to subdivide the parcel and sell the remnant parcel to ownership partners (family members) of Parcel 1. The remnant piece will then be combined with Parcel 1. The applicant is requesting a waiver of platting to accommodate this subdivision and future combination.
This is a simple subdivision (boundary line adjustment) request which staff supports. Park dedication is not required because it has already been paid on this land.
The newly created Parcel 1 and building on that parcel has the ability to be sold to a third party, so the new site will need to conform to onsite parking requirements. Parcel 1 has adequate land area to generate additional required parking on site and additional parking with a shared parking and access agreement.
Turfco was granted a waiver of platting and a conditional use permit for the zero lot line/shared parking and driveway that exists on site in 1997. Because this new lot configuration is being requested, a conditional use permit amendment is also required.
