PLANNING REPORT northwest EssociEted co TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 9 June 1986 RE: Hardee's Conditional Use Permit FILE NO: 758.09 - 86.01 sult8nts, inc. JUN 10 1986 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA BACKGROUND In February, Nelson Food Enterprises applied for a conditional use permit for a Hardee's Restaurant at Rice Street and Minnesota Avenue. Please refer to our staff report of 11 February 1986 for additional information. The Planning Commission tabled action on the request as the developer could not attend the meeting. The public hearing was held at the Council meeting on 26 February. Concern was raised at the hearing regarding development of the remainder of the Schroeder parcel of which the Hardee's proposal is only a part. In response to Council recommendations and staff information, the developer has provided the enclosed site plan, landscape plan, building plan and sign plans. In addition, an overall development plan is included. ANALYSIS Development Concept Plan. The proposed development concept plan (Exhibit 8) shows the Hardee's site on the south, with two other restaurants to the north along Rice Street. The Rice Street access is still shown, now on the middle property. The applicant has provided a letter from MnDOT stating that they would grant a permit for a driveway in this area. However, we would discourage this as a full driveway access would cause a certain amount of traffic congestion, particularly during peak use, and a right turn in - right turn out access as shown on the plan would serve little purpose for either the Hardee's or the adjacent development. We also refer to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Transportation Policies Section on streets lists two similar items: 4 4 4820 min netonka oIvd, ste 200, minneapolis, mn 55416 (612) 925 -9420
