MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 11, 1991 The Planner reported that a front yard setback variance is necessary for the canopy. The Planner pointed out that there was property taken in conjunction with the Little Canada Road realignment. The Planner reported that Uno -Ven is requesting a 4 foot variance on front yard setback. Assuming that 4 feet was taken for the road realignment, this would offset the amount of variance being requested, and would be justification for approving the variance. Herkenhoff asked if the existing fuel tanks would be removed. Egerer replied that they would and all new tanks would comply with Federal regulations. Egerer also reported that if a problem is discovered in removal of the tanks, appropriate precautions and measures would be taken to resolve the problem. Keis asked if the Uno -Ven operation would remain essentially the same. Egerer replied that it would; however, the present operator would like to add on to the west end of the building some time in the future to add a convenience store. Drabik asked if there were any way to relocate curb cuts to make the intersection safer. The City Planner reported that the only way to do this would be to eliminate one of the curb cuts which would be impossible with the type of use and amount of space on the site. Drabik was concerned about visibility problems and asked if the canopy would be another distraction at the intersection or would interfere with visibility of traffic signals. The City Planner stated that the canopy would be higher than the traffic signals, therefore, would not create a visibility problem. Egerer explained the signage changes that are being considered, that is, removal of signage from the building and addition of a Union 76 logo on both the east and west ends of the canopy. Drabik asked about the two sign poles on the property. The Planner reported that a variance was granted allowing the two sign poles when Mobile changed over to Page 5
