Mr. Powell commented on <br />the current study of Main Street by Anoka County and possible modifications to that <br />interchange. <br />Mr. Trehus stated he was suggesting a "right - in/right -out" type of arrangement. Mr. <br />Powell advised that option was researched and eliminated due to problems with the <br />different traffic speeds and circulation patterns this close to the interchange. <br />Mr. Trehus inquired about Anoka County's revised position regarding the Main Street <br />and 35W interchange. Mr. Powell stated in the current Transportation Plan for Anoka <br />County this interchange remains a high priority but the County has indicated that as they <br />update their CIP the project may fall in priority since no one is "championing" that <br />interchange due to the wetland issues. However, an interchange of 35W and Lake Drive <br />may increase in priority. <br />Mr. Johnson stated he sees a conflict with traffic circulation by vehicles using the gas <br />pumps and needing to drive past McDonald's to exit. He noted that usually vehicles are <br />able to drive directly up to gas pumps and leave by a direct route. Mr. Powell stated he <br />and Mr. Brixius both mentioned this conflict in their reviews and would like to see the <br />opportunity for a more clean exit from the site by the car wash. <br />• Mr. Johnson stated he would have a problem supporting the proposed traffic circulation <br />pattern. <br />Mr. Dunn stated it is vital that these questions and concerns be addressed when the <br />application is presented before the Planning & Zoning Board. He noted this project will <br />be the anchor so it is important to assure it is correctly handled. Mr. Dunn stated he also <br />shares a concern with a McDonald's Restaurant and gasoline station. He added that he <br />likes the unique architecture but hoped the McDonald's Restaurant would include a <br />playland. Mr. Dunn stated he also has a concern about the size of the grocery store and <br />future potential to be competitive and successful. <br />Mr. Wessel stated the grocery applicant is convinced that a mid -sized grocery store is <br />suited for Lino Lakes. He stated he would like them to have the opportunity to explain <br />this to the Planning & Zoning Board. <br />Mr. Corson made a MOTION to extend the request for a PDO and Preliminary Plat for <br />Shopping Center Development and McDonald's /Amoco Conditional Use Permit and Site <br />Plan review to November 11, 1998 and the review period by another 120 days, and was <br />supported by Mr. Dunn. Motion carried 7 -0. <br />D. PUBLIC HEARING: Comprehensive Land Use Plan <br />
