• STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM 7.D. Paul Bengtson February 14, 2007 TOPIC: Conditional Use Permit — Motor Fuel Station Preliminary Plat Holiday Stationstores - 7509 Lake Drive BACKGROUND The City of Lino Lakes in partnership with Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are completing plans for the reconstruction of the Lake Drive and I -35W Interchange. Construction is anticipated to start in April /May of 2007. During the past year the City has been working with adjacent property owners to acquire needed right -of -way for the project. In addition to right of way acquisition from the Holiday property the City will be removing the two existing accesses from Lake Drive as part of the project. New access to the store will be provided from the proposed westerly extension of Town Center Parkway. Holiday has been supportive of the road improvement project and acquisition process. As part of the acquisition process Holiday is requesting approval of changes to the existing site to facilitate this transition. Phis application will not only establish revisions to the existing operations on the site in the form of some amendments to the existing Conditional Use Permit that are necessitated by the city improvements, but will also establish the means for Holiday to divide the property to sell an outlot for development, and ultimately a new Conditional Use Permit is requested for a Motor Fuel Station with Car Wash to rebuild the existing site with a new facility. The outlot will be reviewed to show that it can meet minimum standards for site design, however a site plan review will need to be completed for any development that occurs on the site in the future.
