• Planning & Zoning Board August 13, 1997 Page 13 Ms. Hansmann, Developer, stated that she has worked closely with City officials to select this site. She is not interested in putting anyone out of business but would like to become part of the community. There is a need which is why she is pursuing the option. The City requested that she designate off - street parking for the site which has been done on the revised site plan, and the area will be striped. Unloading deliveries will be done during off hours. The curb barrier has been extended and a drive - through lane provided for an efficient flow of traffic. The trash area will be fenced and hidden from view. She also will abide by the City Engineer's recommendations regarding the turn maneuver for the vacuum lane. The detailed grading and drainage plans, lighting, sign and landscaping plans are not completed but will be available for review by he Town Center Architectural Review Board. The plans are complicated with having to move the access to Apollo Drive in the future. If her site does not border Apollo Drive when it is extended, she requested an easement access. Mr. Johnson asked if there will be a median put in when Lake Drive is expanded. Mr. Ahrens stated that Lake Drive will have a median. It is conceivable the same will be true for Apollo Drive. These issues must be worked out through the feasibility report. Mr. Johnson stated that if there is a right turn lane on Lake Drive, it would begin where Lilac now intersects it which will be a directly conflict with right out traffic from this site and right turn traffic onto the freeway. • Mr. Ahrens stated that the right turn for I -35W starts at Lilac Street. He will work further with the County on this issue. • Mr. Robinson made a MOTION to close the public hearing and was supported by Mr. Dunn. Motion carried unanimously, 7 -0. Chair Schaps declared the public hearing closed at 10:38 p.m. Mr. Herr made a MOTION to approve the conditional use permit for the Ashland Motor Fuel Station at Lake Drive and Lilac Street and was supported by Mr. Robinson, subject to the following conditions: 1. All proposed curb cut widths are approved by the City Engineer. 2. The proposed right -in- right -out turning arrangement is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer and Anoka County Highway Department. 3. The site plan is revised to illustrate an off - street loading space. 4. The site plan is revised such to accommodate proposed "U -turn" maneuvers from the vacuum cleaner lane to the car wash. 5. The drive - through land (alongside the menu board) is delineated via striping or curb island extension. 6. One -way circulation routes are specifically identified on the site via pavement or other appropriate signage. 7. A curb barrier is provided at the northern edge of the site's eastern most row of parking (as shown on Exhibit C). 8.
