• • SPECIAL PLANNING & ZONING MEETING August 23, 1989 would be beneficial to have two driveways. Mr. Winkels hopes to convey this to the county. Jim Winkels will also discuss landscaping with the county. He stated that the county is concerned about landscaping on the right -of -way inhibiting the view from the intersection. Jim Winkels stated that thought will be taken to plant smaller shrubs to ensure visibility. The size of the parking stalls was discussed. The City of Lino Lakes Ordinance states that stalls are to be 20 feet long. Jim Winkels stated that more and more cities are going with a 18 foot length. This has to do with the fact that cars are not as big as they used to be. John Miller stated that this will be an item to be discussed as we update the City's Zoning Ordinance. The board agreed to a 18 foot parking space. The City Ordinance states that the minimum parking space should be 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. The plan shows 4.8 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. The board accepted the 4.8 /1,000 parking space. City Ordinance states that a loading berth is required for commercial sites. Jim Winkels explained that most deliveries are done through the front door and large deliveries requiring a loading dock would not be necessary. This issue was waived. After further discussion a motion was made. MOTION: Alan Irwin moved to recommend to city council to move back the sign to meet the required setbacks. Fred Chase seconded the motion, and the motion was approved unanimously. MOTION: Sally Kuether moved to recommend to city council that Jim Winkels talk with Anoka County regarding the driveway. Anoka County is requesting that only one driveway be installed. The site plan shows two entering Main Street Shops from Main Street. Al Robinson seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. MOTION: Fred Chase moved that the Developer, Hugo State Bank, Rice Creek Watershed District, and Civil Engineer reach an agreement regarding the drainage issue, and that Hugo State Bank agreed in writing before a building permit is issued. Sally Kuether seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. MOTION: Alan Irwin moved to waive the requirements for the size of the parking stalls, number of stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. and the 15 foot setback required from the driveway. The parking stalls and driveway will be allowed the way it is shown on the plans because the current zone is outdated. Fred Chase seconded the motion, and the motion was approved
