• • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1997 Council Member Kuether moved to approve the preliminary plat for Clearwater Creek Business Park, Main Street and 21st Avenue, pursuant to the conditions presented and contingent upon a joint powers agreement with Centerville. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for C -Store on southeast corner of Main Street and 21st Avenue, Joan Tschida - Ms. Wyland described this project as a request by DJT Properties, LLC for approval of a conditional use permit which would allow for the establishment of a convenience center on Lot 1 of the Clearwater Creek Business Center at County Road 14 and 21st Avenue. The proposed facility would include gas sales, a 4,380 - square -foot fast-food restaurant, a 2,026 -square -foot convenience store, and a car wash for location on a 2.5 -acre parcel. The subject site is properly zoned for the proposed use, and contains the requisite area and setbacks. Motor fuel stations and accessory drive-through facilities are acceptable conditional uses within the City's General Business District. Review by Staff has revealed that this project meets the necessary requirements for a conditional use permit. Ms. Wyland stated that the proposed convenience center will be located on Lot 1, Block of the proposed Clearwater Creek Business Center subdivision, approved previously. Conditions with respect to parking already in compliance according to the proposed project plans are a 15 -foot setback along the south property line, parking location and angles, need for traffic signage, number of parking stalls, parking surface, perimeter curbing, and site access. Two additional parking stalls are required, for a total of 79. Surfacing of the parking lot with curbing will be required. Access has been reviewed by SEH, and access is recommended in the form of one access off of 21st Avenue. Proposed circulation patterns are adequate. Loading areas are oriented toward Northern Lights Boulevard, which is desirable for security reasons. The applicant has communicated to delivery and pick-up agents that scheduling must be such as not to interfere with drive-through and car wash areas. An outline of such an agreement is required as a condition of approval. A more formal landscaping plan is required, and green space is compliant. A proper flood plain map amendment is anticipated in conjunction with the plat; however, until the amendment is approved, proper elevation is essential. MPCA approval will be necessary for placement of underground fuel storage tanks. Although there is no prohibition on such installation at this site, precautions must be made for proper installation. Following the public hearing on this matter held by the Planning and Zoning Board, approval was recommended subject to the following conditions:
