Seconded by Couneilman IIarnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:�+2 p, m. Mr. Flora, Pu61ic Works Director, stated the property involved in this subdivision is located on the corner of 57th and University and, if approved, would subdivide about 1-3/4 acres from the existing parcel of lznd. Mr. Flora stated the purpose of his subdivision is to allow the construction of a restaurant by tte SAGA Corporation. I� l _J � � l J � � COUNCIL MEETING DF JANUASY 10, 1984 PAGE � Mr, Flora stated since Holiday Warehouse was built, changes have been made in te parking requirements and they now have an excess of parking with 2,390 stalls, He statsd, presently, the code provides for three par�ing spaces for every 250 square foot of retail area which would mean 1,080 parking spaces would have to be provided. Mr. Flora stated, with the new zoning code, the amount of required parking would be reduced to about 1,D13 spaces. Mr. Flora stated a variance has 6een requested to reduce the amount ef parking to 800, and after discussion by the Appeals Commission, the reeommendation was to reduce the parking requirement to 950 stalls. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the 950 parkin� spaces they are discussing include the stalls to the South or rear of the 6uilding whzch were never really used for this purpose. Mr. Jensen, representing Holiday Warehouse, stated there are about 365 parking spaces on the south side of their 6uilding and �f you add the total parking, there are between 950 to 1,OD0 stalls. Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned the access to the East of Holiday warehouse, if this is replatted, Mr. Jensen stated there would be a driveway on the northeast of the building. Mr. Jensen stated the main areas of parking that are used are on the ncrth end of their store and some to the west. Mr. Abratns, 5659 5th Street, stated he felt they couldn�t get 950 cars in the parking lot. He stated tractor trailers are parking there and bloek parking for people who want to shop at Holiday. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Abrams if he ever saw the parkin$ lot fiLled, and Mr. A6rams stated many times. Mayor Nee stated the question is if the parking is sufficient so that it wouldn't 6e necessary to park on the street. Mr. Abrams stated he walks to Holiday because there is no place to park, and 950 cars aren't parked there on the weekend and the lot is full. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he would agree there isn't 95D parking spaces in what is considered the parking lot, since the area to the south isn't used for this purpose, but he would agree they don't need that many spaces. He stated the City has a long history o❑ this business and felt it can be shown they don�t use all the available �rking. Mr. 4ureshi, City Manager, stated there are a number of issues related to this subdivision. He stated, if this is approved, additional right-of-way needs to be dedieated on 57�h and there is also the question of the parking variance and the liquor license. .F� L � COUNCIL MEFTINr, OF JANUARY 1D, 198i PA E Mr. Jensen stated if the City is going to require a dedication for easement purposes, he would request it be done subsequent to the plat, and not as part of the plat. He stated the reason for this request is they are selling the property on a square footage basis and the entire contract would have to be renegotiated. Mr. Qureshi stated he does have some concern about the ehange in the traffic pattern, however, this could be discussed when the varianee is considered. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated another area that should be discussed is the mattet� of the trailers and the proper screening. Mr. Qureshi stated the code requires these trailers to be in a designated area and screened, and it would be requested that Holiday develop a plan to satisfy this requirement. Mr. �?ureshi stated the most easterly access to 57th doesn't allow turning iuto Holiday for traffic going west, He stated what was proposed was to move this access to the west, however, he Felt this may create a traffic problem and perhaps a compromise can be worked out. He also felt it may be necessary to remove a row of parking and shift the proposed restaurant 10 feet to the south to allow for snow storage, a bikeway-walkway, and berming and landscaping plus elimination of the northerly row of parking in the Hollday lot to provide for additional landseaping and screening. Mr. Jensen stated this access is a very big item with Holiday and if a change is made in the driveway aceess to their property, it may change this entire proposal as their entire development is based on it. He stated this driveway is vital and, though he didn't feel it would be heavily used, would provide direet access to the south part of their property. Mayor Nee suggested before the final plat is considered, this item should be resolved. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed subdivision. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrfek to close the public hearing, Seconded by Councilman Schneider. IIpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:30 p. m.

ITpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the sotion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:30 p. m. � � � � � � COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 10. 1983 PAGE 5 Mr. Inman, City Clerk, stated this is a request 6y SAGA Corporation, dba: Stuart Anderson's Cattle Restaurant for an on-sale liquor license, as well as an entertainment license. Mr. Inman stated, in con�unetion with this restaurant, they will have a bar and lounge and entertainment provided in the form of recurd musie. Mr. Inman stated the Pola.ce Department has completed their ir.vestigatior. and found no criminal records on any of the officers of the corporation. He further stated the reason thas hearir.g was scheduled at this time was because the representative of the corporation were in town from California. Mr. Kuiper, representing SAGA Corporation, appeared before the Council and presented slides and photos of the site and the proposed restaurant. Mr. Kuiper stated their restaurant provides a full luncheon and diner menu and presented samples of the available ehoices. He further stated they would employ 60 to 65 persons generating about $170,000 a year in increased income. He stated their food sales are about 70$ and liquor sales aceount for about 30$, and dinners constitute 80% of their business. Mr. Kuiper stated about 18.2� of their building is dedicated to the lounge and bar area which includes the storage and dance area. Mr. A6rams, 5659 5th Street, stated he ie ogposed to any on-sale liquor being sold at this location. He felt it was too close to the freeway and would be terrible for public safety. Mr. Abrams felt he wouldn't ob,7ect if this was only a restaurant, but ob�eeted to liquor being served. Couneilman Schneider pointed out there are many restaurants in the T'win City area where liquor is also served. No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this liquor license. MOTION by Couneilman Hamernik to close the publie hearing. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.

Mayor Nee stated the Council does not take action on the request the same evening as the hearing, however, sinee Mr. Kuiper was here from out of town, he would poll the Council on their feelings for issuance of this license. All members of the Council felt they had no ob,7eetion to the liquor license, however, there was some concern that the protalems with the plat should be resolved. � � fM1 �a COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 10. 198� NEW BUSINESS: RECEIVING PLANNING COhII°IISSION MINUTES OF DECEMBER 22, 1982: PA E PRELIMINARY PLAT� P. 5. �k82-D2. LYNDALE TERMINAL COMPANY� 250 57TH AVENUE N.E.• Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the access question on to 57th is a eonsiderable problem with this plat and should be addressed. Mr. Jensen stated if a situation develops at a future date, where there is an actual problem, they would be the first ones to try and alleviate it, He stated they have worked with the City over the past years and felt they had a good record. Councilman Schneider pointed out they don't have that access nok and questioned if there were plans the Council wasn�t aware of. Mr, Jensen stated it is their hope they will be able to utilize the south side of their property and, in order to do so, they need the easterly aceess because the only other access is on the west where they have their truck loading zone. Mayor Nee stated the plat hinges on the question of resolving this matter plus dedication of the easement. He stated, as far as the variance for the parkin�, consideration would have to be given to bringing the trailer storage area into compliance with the code. Mr, Jensen stated he was unaware there was a problem with the trailer starage, and they would bring themselves into compliance with the code. 1 Councilman Fitzpatrick stated if Holiday is thinking about some future development in the area to the south of their buildang, 365 of the 950 ' parking spaces they were discussing are in the south area. He stated the amount of parking they actually need is probably available, but didn't like the double talk of 950 spaces when realistically there are 365 less. Mr. Jensen stated the 950 figure was arrived at as a compromise and should they do anything on the south side of their property, they would have to come in and obtain approval and the City could look at it at that time. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table this item until the next meeting. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
