RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to deny a variance request for dedication of 10-feet of Right-of-Way on Clarksville Street and SE
14t" Street for Lot 1, Block A, Kroger Addition, located at 1310 Clarksville Street.
POLICY ISSUE(S):
Variance request
BACKGROUND:
This variance is for Lot 1; Block A, Kroger Addition, being located at 1310 Clarksville Street. Kroger is
proposing to construct a fuel station in the northwest corner of the existing parking lot. The master
thoroughfare plan shows Clarksville Street to be an arterial level roadway which requires 80-feet of
right-of-way (ROW) but it currently has 60-feet. Fourteenth S.E will require an additional 10 feet of
ROW as it is currently only 40-feet.
Kroger is requesting a variance from dedicating the additional ROW by 10 feet along Clarksville Street
and 14th SE Street because it will require the removal of 28 parking spaces (14 spaces from each street
front). The removal of these parking spaces significantly impacts Kroger's shoppers by forcing
employees to park in spaces normally allotted for their customers. This removal will congest holiday
and peak shopping parking creating potentially unsafe shopping conditions and unneeded hardship on
their customers.
The parking lot could be restriped to make up a significant number of the parking spaces that will be lost
because of the ROW dedication. Parking spaces can be added to the parking area off Sherman Street at
the back of the store. At their August 3, 2009, meeting Planning and Zoning unanimously
recommended, with the concurrence of City Council on August 10, to approve the preliminary plat
subject to the City Engineer's recommendations, which included the ROW dedications. Staff
recommends that the variance request be denied.
