MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 10, 1993 tree which has been raised, and indicated that if the tree is blocking the semi -fore, there would be grounds for removal as a traffic hazard. The Planner suggested that MN DOT be contacted on this issue. The Planner pointed out that Mr. Vogt is proposing to relocate the sign slightly, and pointed out that the sign ordinance allows one additional foot of height for each three feet of additional setback. Ms. Drabik recommended denial of the application of Gas N Go Superette for sign height variance based on the findings of the City Planner as contained in his report dated June 7, 1993, and requesting that Public Works contact MN DOT to pursue removal of the tree in front of the Klein property on Rice Street since it is believed that this tree is a traffic hazard. Motion seconded by Keis. Motion carried 5 - 2. Carson and Knudsen voted against. AMENDMENT Mr. Louie Rustad, R & S Automotive, appeared before the TO PUD Commission requesting approval of an amendment to PUD R & S to allow for the expansion of an existing building as AUTOMOTIVE well as allow a change in the current parking plan for the property at 38 West Woodlyn Avenue. Rustad reported that R & S would like to put an addition on to the south end of their existing repair shop. It is also hoped that City sewer could be brought in to serve the building. The closest sewer is either in front of Fuel Economy and may require a pump station or would have to be brought in across private property from South Owasso Blvd. Keis asked about site improvements to the property. The City Planner reported that landscaping requirements are minimal and the existing landscaping in the front of the property would be acceptable. The ordinance requires no landscaping in the back of a property, however, under a PUD the City would have the ability to increase the requirements. The Planner pointed out the sketch his office prepared for the site, which is a recommendation for site plan requirements. Keis asked if the City had to worry about the back of the property. Rustad pointed out that the back is screened, and that R & S has been phasing out the used auto parts operation, which is currently down to a minimum. Page 5
