• • Millers Crossroads Shopping Center page 5 outlot is not yet owned by the City, it ultimately will be deeded to the City, as is often the case with ponding areas. It is important that the City's stormwater management activities and responsibilities are not negatively affected by the access drive. It also is important that the commercial property owner is responsible for maintaining the roadway. We have reviewed draft easement documents. The easement must be expanded to include the retaining wall, the reference to Lot 16, Block 1 should refer to Millers Crossroads (not the 3rd Addn.). We are discussing how to ensure responsibility for maintenance of the road. We also need to have some changes to the document regarding the City warranting rights to the outlot. The easement document(s) will be finalized prior to approval of the CUP by the City Council. The City Engineer's report is attached. Outdoor Seating: The coffee shop is to have an outdoor seating area on the south side of the building. It is approximately 580 sf and could hold six tables. The area is screened with landscaping and accessible only from within the building. • Standards and Requirements for Conditional Use Permits The zoning ordinance includes overall standards that apply to all CUPs. There also are specific requirements for each CUP for a specific use. General Standards: The Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it finds the following criteria have been met: a. The proposed development application has been found to be consistent with the policies and recommendations of the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan including: 1) Land Use Plan. 2) Transportation Plan. 3) Utility (Sewer and Water) Plans. 4) Local Water Management Plan. 5) Capital Improvement Plan. 6) Policy Plan. 7) Natural Environment Plan. The proposed CUP is consistent with the comprehensive plan. b. The proposed development application is compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The site is guided for commercial use and a commercial building was reviewed for • the site as part of the original Millers Crossroads project.
