PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 2, 1980 7:30 P.M. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairmen, Les Larson. Present were Harold Nilsen, Les Larson, Jim Bourquin, Al Stefanson and Elving Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. Malzer, 1903 Tatum, appeared before the Commission and requested permission to erect an 8` x 10' building, with hip roof, in the rear of their property. They had presented signatures of neighbors approval. There was some discussion as to whether being 2' from the side and back lot lines was sufficient, with Harold being certain it should be 5'. A vote was taken and it was 4 to 1 in favor of permitting them to keep it 2' from each side and rear lot line. It is now recommended to the City Council that they permit the building of this structure. We met with Carl Dale, the planner, and he passed out the prelim- . inary Comprehensive Plans for all of us. There will be some additional pages, which he was unable to have completed, which ,will be dropped off at each, members home sometime next week. Mr. Dale felt we should take the extension that has been granted, as it would require that we rush through this plan, as well as having the public hearing and council reading of this plan, • and it also i~ not sufficient time to let adjacent cities have a chance to read and comment on the plan... Mr. Dale and Glen VanWarner, Traffic Engineer, made a rather extensive survey of the Snelling-Larpenteur intersection and came up with several suggestions: 1. Close existing service drive (near GTA terminal) and move the entrance downa little south of its current position, in that it would help move traffic more smoothly than what is currently being done, and this would remove very little parking. 2. Change the service drive on the Southeast side of the inter's'ection (tear Pizza Hit and Submarine Sandwich) and have a "Do Not Enter" sign posted on the corner by the Sandwich shop, that they could not come. in at that point; however, they could have 2-way street entrance up to and including the Pizza Hut, entering from-Hoyt. 3. Closing part of the service drive on the Northeast side of the intersection (by Flower City), as it is not utilized very much and only having it open at the alley and up toward Embers and the"Liquor Store, so access could still be made at that point.. It was also suggested that tine service drive by the Amoco .Station be closed to prevent cars cutting through there.
