MINI7TES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 25, 1995 Eric Hagman, Hagman Construction, reported that Slumberland is proposing to construct a 45,000 square foot addition on the east side of their existing building. The addition will be completely sprinkled, and the facade will match the existing building. All setback and other Code requirements will be met. Fahey asked if there was anyone from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Bill Stenger noted that he owns the property adjacent to Slumberland. Stenger was concerned about the increased traffic that will result from the addition to the Slumberland building. Stenger noted that there is only one entrance to the site which is blocked at times with semi~s pulling into and out of Slumberland. Stenger suggested that the issue of traffic needs to be addressed. He also suggested a second entrance or drive into the site would be beneficial. The City Planner reported the industrial park district was set up to accommodate industrial development typical of Slumberland. The Planner pointed out that Slumberland does not have adequate street frontage to add another drive. The site is desiqned to handle traffic internally, and Centerville Road is designed to be a collector street. The Planner pointed out that there is other industrial park property that will develop along Centerville Road. Fahey asked if there was any reason from a planning perspective to limit the Slumberland expansion. The Planner replied that there was not. Morelan asked if the existing drive could be expanded to provide two lanes in and out. Hagman did not believe that would work. Paul Kaufman, representing Slumberland, reported that the warehouse addition will replace 45,000 square feet of off-site storage. Kaufman explained that traffic will lessen as a result of the addition since there are trucks which travel back and forth to the rented warehouse bringing merchandise over to the Centerville Road site. There were no additional comments from the general public present.
