MIHUES Planning Commission June 12, 1986 Hardees The Planner pointed out that Hardees is proposing to upgrade the (Cont.) southern access onto Rice Street to a full intersection when MN DOT installs left -turn lanes. Mr. Benshoof described how theleft turn lanes will work and felt that there would be no problem with a full intersection at that time. Timmons felt that the area was pretty controlled with traffic lights at County Road B -2 and Minnesota. Benshoof reported that plans are to upgrade Rice Street in 1987. There was no one present from the audience wishing to comment on the Hardees proposal. Herkenhoff asked about signage for Hardees and if they would meet the same requirements as McDonalds. The Planner reported that McDonalds received approval for their signage prior to the current ordinance coming into effect. Hardees would have to comply with the current ordinance. Davison suggested that any approval include the right -turn only access to Rice Street and when Rice Street is upgraded, Hardees would have to come back to the Commission to upgrade the access to a full intersection. Benshoof replied that MM DOT would have control over whether the access could be upgraded to a full intersection. Hasek agreed that MN DOT would make this judgment based on the traffic situation. Davison pointed out that he usually sees a line of cars going north on Rice trying to make a left turn onto Woodbridge and felt that a full intersection in this area would be impossible. Hasek felt that the traffic light would control the situation. Mr. DeLonais recommended approval of the Hardees Conditional Use Permit subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner except for Items 1 and 2, and with the intersection at Woodbridge as proposed by Hardees and the northern access to Rice Street as well. Motion seconded by Mr. Perlinger. Motion carried 7 - 0. Page -3- 0
