MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />APRIL 8, 1993 <br />Keis indicated that he was worried about traffic coming <br />from the west and taking left -hand turns into the site. <br />Glen Olson, owner of the property, indicated that he <br />has lived at 303 Little Canada Road for 10 years, and <br />felt that as long as drivers were careful, there would <br />be no problems. <br />Calvin Poehls was concerned about the effect the <br />business would have on his mother's property which is <br />located immediately north. <br />The proposed site plan was reviewed, and it was pointed <br />out that evergreens planted on a slight berm are <br />proposed as screening for the north properties. <br />Fred Schletty reported that he has a <br />conflict -of- interest in this matter, but described the <br />lot split for the Commission. Schletty noted that the <br />lots had been combined for tax purposes, and the <br />proposal is to split the lots to how they originally <br />were. <br />Keis again expressed concern for traffic coming from <br />the west accessing the site via the Little Canada Road <br />curb cut. Keis noted that traffic will be increased to <br />the property when it is developed as a business versus <br />single - family home. <br />DeLonais suggested designating the Little Canada Road <br />access as right -turn only. <br />Carson suggested eliminating the Little Canada Road <br />access completely. <br />Gerten anticipated 15 to 20 vehicles to the site per <br />day excluding employee traffic which would utilize the <br />Centerville Road access. <br />The City Planner suggested that the Little Canada Road <br />access could be posted with a do not enter sign. The <br />Planner felt that retaining the Little Canada Road <br />access for right turns out of the site would be <br />positive since it will relieve traffic congestion at <br />the intersection. The Planner also pointed out that <br />Centerville Road is relative steep and there is <br />sometimes a problem with the that portion of the <br />intersection becoming slippery in the winter. The <br />Planner felt that 95% of the traffic exiting the site <br />would turn right from the Little Canada Road curb cut, <br />thus avoiding the intersection. <br />Garske suggested that the Little Canada Road curb cut <br />Page 3 <br />Page .12 <br />
