As part of the vacation, an access easement will be retained from the alley throughthe vacated Service Driveto continue to allow residents and garbage/delivery trucks accessthrough the property. The City will retain the western 20 feetof right-of-way, crosshatched in blue, which is the area that will be needed for construction of the future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stop and a potentialtrail.

The proposed request has been agreed upon from all parties involved. Site History The property was originally developed as a service station in 1955. In 2000, that building was demolished. In 1999, the subject property was granted a special use permit to allow an automobile service station in a Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. 68 Jufn!22/ C-2, General Business zoning district. At the same time a variance was also granted to reduce the setback from the adjacent residential district on the east side of the property from 50 feet to 25 feet. The existing building was then constructed in 2000 as Bona Bros. Automotive Services. In 2003, a special use permit was granted to expand an automotive service station that would connect the gas station with the service station; that connection was constructed in 2004. Bona Bros. Automotive has been successful in this location and as a result, there is a need for additional land area for parking vehicles. The petitioner is also interested in continuing to create a pleasing image along this corridor. By gaining additional land area, the petitioner would like to install a wrought iron fence where the MnDOT chain link fence used to be. He is also planning to redesign the green space and storm pond on his property, to provide additional screening of parked vehicles. Placement of the fence and planting along the right-of-way line will need to be approved by MnDOT prior to installation. The petitioner has committed to parallel parking passenger vehicles (sedans) along the curb within the vacated right-of- way, and the larger vehicles will be parked in the existing parking lot. If the vacation is approved, the petitioner will be responsible for maintenance, including resurfacing and snow removal of the vacated right-of-way and easement area.
