MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 13, 1999 The City Planner pointed out that there are two accesses to the Citgo property, and suggested it would be better to have car wash traffic exiting the property from the eastern -most access point that is furthest from the intersection. Brandl agreed. Carson recommended approval of the rezoning of the Citgo property at 300 Little Canada Road from B -3 to B -2 subject to the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated May 1 I, 1999. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 6 — 1. Duray voted against. The City Planner recommended that Brandl be required to submit a landscaping plan for the site showing significant screening of the property on the east. Duray asked the hours of operation for the car wash. Brandl reported that they are currently open 24 hours per day but anticipate closing at 11 P.M. It was noted that typically people do not have their cars washed after 10 P.M. Montour asked if consideration should be given to a right -turn out only from the Citgo Station. Brandl reported that there has not been a problem with vehicles existing the Citgo property to go west. The City Planner also recommended that there be verification that the 50- foot setback from the lake is being met as is required in the Shoreland Ordinance. The Planner suggested that the Building Official may require a survey to verify this setback. The Planner also pointed out that the site is maxed out in terms of signage. Therefore to advertise the car wash, Citgo will have to replace one of the existing signs. Mr. Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a car wash as requested by Mr. Brandl for the Citgo Station at 300 Little Canada Road, subject to submission and approval of a detailed landscape and screening plan for the property, and subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 6 — 1. Mr. Duray voted against. Page 50
