Also just looked and no type A units are required until 20 units is exceeded. So they're all type B.

Actual kitchen space instead of a wall of cupboards facing a sofa, brilliant.

A mirrored finish on the exterior will look pretty cool.

They're really bending over backwards to grant them those setback variances.

I'm really not sure that "I designed a building too big for the parcel that I own" qualifies as meeting this criteria.

Practical difficulties exist in complying with the ordinance because of circumstances unique to the property. The unique circumstances were not created by persons presently having an interest in the property and are not based on economic considerations alone.

Anyone know what's going on with the Burger King at Nicollet and 34th? It's been closed for a week now. There's a sign on the door that says it will re-open, but I'm started to think something more might be going on. I haven't seen anyone onsite doing repairs/remodeling (I live nearby). Maybe they had a really bad health code violation?

In other weird Burger King closing randomly news:

Well, Burger King wants to re-open the Nicollet store. They are arguing that they qualify for a non conforming use. Details:
