Planning & Zoning Board January 9, 2008 Page 4 B. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING for a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Planned Unit Development; a PUD Preliminary Development Plan/Preliminary Plat; a Conditional Use Permit for a motor fuel station; and a Conditional Use Permit for a car wash; for a four lot commercial development to be called Main Street Village located at the SE Corner of I -35E and Main Street Jeff Smyser, City Planner, distributed a supplemental memo to board members at the start of the meeting. Mr. Smyser discussed the memo and updated the board on the status of the project. Staff recommended the board reopen the public hearing, take comment, and continue the public hearing to the February meeting to address outstanding issues. Mr. Hyden arrived at 7:55 p.m. Mr. Nelson asked if the board were to make a recommendation, what would happen if staff discovered an issue upon further review. Mr. Smyser stated that staff could request changes prior to city council approval. Mr. Smyser stated he is comfortable with the application but does not feel that review time has been adequate for approval. Mr. Smyser updated the board on the results of discussion of this item at the Council Work Session. Mr. Smyser stated that with the cooperation of the development team, staff should be able to address and finalize any outstanding issues prior to Council action. Mr. Smyser explained that the deadline for city action is March 1, and this includes a 60- day extension. Mr. Smyser explained it is possible for the item to go to the February P &Z Meeting and then to the 2nd Council Meeting with a clean submittal. Mr. Smyser would prefer not to force council to take action on a project at its first review. He noted it is common for council to request additional meetings for approval. He added that the developer does not agree with an additional 30 -day extension. Board members agreed that if staff feels they can resolve outstanding issues, they would prefer council to have an additional meeting for review instead of P &Z extending the item to another meeting. Mr. Grochala pointed out that Final Plat approval will give the board a chance to make sure that all conditions have been fulfilled. Sam VanTassel, representative of Kwik Trip store, stated that the on -site architect was on vacation over the holidays. He explained some of the changes made to the Kwik Trip store, including reducing the structure to one bay and the parking lot spaces. He explained that employees will use the least convenient parking spots on the site, located behind the building. Mr. VanTassel pointed out that there are 20 parking spaces under the canopy that are not considered by Lino Lakes, yet 2/3 of purchasing patrons will be parked under the canopy getting gas. He stated that the canopy stripe is four inches and fits canopy requirements. He noted that fewer trucks will be delivering to their store than DRAFT MINUTES • •
