DEVELOPERS OF 1666 COFFMAN TO BE GIVEN TIME LIMIT ON RESPONSE TO CITY CONCERNS RELATING TO INCOMPLETE ITEMS Van de North addressed the remaining problems with the Coffman development, i.e., incorrect sizing of the ponding area, lack of funding in escrow for possible short-fall of tax monies, and transfer of guaranty from developer to Condominium Association. Van de North indicated he has been unable to obtain any response from the developer on these items and recommended Council give the developer a time limit to respond to these problems, and if no response is forthcoming, the attorney will prepare a "Notice of Default" under the Development Agreement. Ciernia moved, seconded by Chenoweth, giving the developer until June 10, 1987 to respond and authorizing the attorney to prepare a "Notice of Default" if no response is received by that time. Motion carried unanimously. 7:15 P.M. - CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING ON SUPER AMERICA CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST Baldwin opened the continuation of the hearing on the SuperAmerica conditional use request, and gave an update on the May 20th workshop. He stressed that the idea of denying the request, because some felt a filling station/convenience store is not the best use of the property, would be unethical. Planner John Uban presented the latest plan and explained it is the result of ideas/compromises discussed at the May 20th workshop, and felt this plan to be an improvement as it locates the building 40 feet from the residence to the east, and tucks the structure into the neighborhood, set back from the street farther than the residential structures. MARVIN DE MARTINO, 1345 W. CALIFORNIA, expressed concern regarding traffic flow and objected to the convenience store aspect. KENT OSTERMAN, 1365 W. CALIFORNIA, objected to allowing a larger business on the site, did not believe the traffic patterns will remain the same, that there would be an increase in delivery trucks, garbage pick up, and was of the opinion it is illegal to turn left on Hamline crossing the double yellow lines. ~>
