John Hausen, M -V Gas Co., appeared before the <br />CONDITIONAL Commission, requesting approval of a Conditional Use <br />USE PERMIT Permit allowing installation of a 1,000 gallon propane <br />motor fuel dispenser, pump meter and hose. Hausen <br />reported that M -V Gas Co. was willing to comply with <br />the recommendations of the City Planner, however, <br />questioned the recommendation for landscaping from the <br />adjacent home. Hausen pointed out that the tank is <br />proposed to be located on the opposite end of the <br />property from the home, with a distance of about 300 <br />feet between the two. Hausen stated that if the <br />adjacent property owner desired, the landscaping would <br />be provided, however. Hausen also pointed out that the <br />tank would meet all fire codes. Hausen stated that M -V <br />Gas Co. has many of these tanks around the Twin Cities <br />area and has never experienced a problem with them. <br />Mr. Stafki, 316 Little Canada Road, stated that as long <br />as the tank is located at the opposite side of the <br />property from his home, he had no problems with it and <br />did not feel the landscaping as recommended by the City <br />Planner was necessary. <br />Steve Garske asked why the tank is proposed to be <br />located close to the road and not at the rear of the <br />property. <br />Hausen replied that the area chosen for the tank is the <br />one where it would be least likely to be hit by any <br />vehicle.
