ity Co e, to allow t e construction of a service station on part of Lot 1,
Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, tFie same being 7299 Highway #65 N.E. (Parcel A)

BEARING OPEN AT 7:46 P.1N.
Mr. Boardman stated he would like to make the discussion relative to both
the special use permit and the lot split since they would be talking about
the same property.
P
n Mr. Boardman stated the property is located on Highway 65 between 73rd Ave.
and 72nd Ave. N.E. It is a fairly narrow piece of property, to the extent
that if the lot is split at all, the City would have to get some kind of an
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1983 PAGE 2 �
access to the property. They do not want an access out onto Highway 65;
therefore, any access had to come from 73rd/72nd. The plan for 73rd is for
a median eventually, at least partially back and perhaps 2/3 back on this
site. There are no plans at this point in time for a median on 72nd.
Seventy-third Ave. is the heavily used intersection. What this does is
it essentially requires the property to have one total use on it or, if the
lot is split, to have some kind of service or access facility to the develop-
ment. The most logical location for that access is going to be at some point
where they can get access both east and west on 73rd. For this reason and
with this particular proposal, they felt a service road was the best alternative.
On 72nd there is a service drive that accesses straight across from the new
proposed service dr�ve, and on the north side, they felt it would be best
because of the median and because it would be right across from the driveway
location. In order to do this. they would be in a situation to require all
the right-of-way to come from the lead property and that property would be
the beneficiary of the service road.� This situation created the need for
two variances: (1) a variance for the lot size. It.would not meet the new
ordinance; however, the total lot itself would meet all the old existing
ordinances. (2) a variance for the setback on the south from 20 feet to 11 feet.
There is not an existing right-of-way right now, but the variance will be
created with the creation of the road system.
Mr. Boardman stated the Engineering Staff has reviewed this proposal exten- �,
sively and feel there are no immediate problems. They feel the road system _
will be workable, and the development, if the special use permit is approved,
would be an appropriate use of this property.
Mr. Boardman stated there were some issues brought up at the Appeals Commission
meeting. O�e was the bikeway/walkway easement, and Mr. Schuette has shown
that in the plan. There is a ditch section out in front, and the City would
want to make sure that ditch section is maintained or not altered.
Ms. Schnabel asked what type of building could go in on Parcel B.
Mr. Boardman stated the property is zoned industrial (M-1), and he would prefer
to see it remain industrial at this time. They are ta7king about a 15,000-
20,000 sq. ft, building, maybe an office/warehouse type of building. Any
other type of use would take a zoning change unless the use was allowed in
M-1 under a special use permit.
Mr. Schuette stated he is from Columbus, Ind., an employee of Ashland Oil
which is the parent canpany of SuperAmerica. He stated one of the issues
that came up at the Appeals Comnission meeting about rezoning either of the
parcels to commercial was that it would be spot rezoning. because the
properties to the north, south, and east are all zoned industrial. �He stated
they have no objection to spot rezoning and have asked for it many times in
many places; however, because the service station/grocery store combination
is permitted by special use permit in an M-1 district, there was no reason �
to rezone the property. He stated they will be most critical about what goes
in on Parcel 6. At this time, they do not know what will go in on that parcel. '�

Mr. Schuette stated that even though they were opposed to the frontage road
in the beginning, they can now see some benefits to their property. He
showed the Comnission members a prototype of the building they are planning
to build. They have two buildings like this--one in Cottage Grove and one
in Richfield. The building is almost 4800 sq. ft.,in earthtone colors,with
a canopy. Under the canopy there will be 12 pumps with 24 hoses. The reason
for that many pumps is because many people who buy gasoline also go into
the store to buy groceries or bakery goods using a gas pump space as a park-
ing space. A�ound the edge of the building is a 3-4 ft, earth berm for
energy conservation. The area wi17 also be landscaped.
Ms. Schnabel asked about the hours of operation.
Mr. Schuette stated he was not sure at this time, but in all probability, it
would be open 24 hours.
Ms. Gabel asked about the signage.
Mr. Schuette stated they have a new sign with ne�+ decor. There are none like
it in the Minneapolis area. The only place they have put up this sign is
in Lexington, Ky. The sign.is 8 ft. x 10 ft. (80 sq. ft.). They will also
have signage on the building.
,�
Mr. Schuette stated the parking is adequate. They have 21 parking spaces in
addition to th�e 24 spaces under the canopy.

agreed this property should remain M-1.
