JAMES COMPANY - SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW Mr. Dick Kwanbeck represented the James Company in their request for a review of the site and building plan for an addition to the Tom Thumb market at Lake Drive and Main Street. Mr. Kwanbeck re- turned from last month's meeting with the information P & Z re- quested. Mr. Kwanbeck referred to a 7/8/85 memo from TKDA which talks about drainage and the septic system. Mr. Kwanbeck stated that he did not fully understand the points made in the memo and telephoned TKDA for clarification. Mr. Kwanbeck feels that all the require- ments from TKDA's engineering standpoint will be met. There was some change recommended for the septic system. The inspection of the system will be done by the Building Official and must meet the recommendations set forth by TKDA. The Board felt that TKDA's memo was very vague and did not give any guidance. Mr. Kluegel was asked to relay the fact that the P & Z expects guidance. /126 PLANNING AND ZONING July 10, 1985 Page Two In response to the question of whether the County is planning to make changes to the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street as was brought up at last month's meeting, Mr. Kwanbeck contacted the County and was told that they have no plans for any changes. Mr. Kwanbeck stated that the only signage for the addition will be a 3' X 12' sign on the building, which was acceptable per ordinance The buffer suggested on the site and building plan was not acceptable to the Board. It was decided that the buffer consist of five foot at planting pine trees spaced 12 feet on center; or a fence suffi- cient to make at least 50% screen; or a combination of both: The buffer will be required along the entire building, not just the addition. Mr. Kwanbeck stated that there would be no outside storage except for a block enclosure for a trash dumpster. MOTION: Mr. Ostlie moved to recommend to Council approval of a site and building plan from T. F. James Co. of 39482 W. 50th St., for property at 7997 Lake Drive with the stipulations that the drainage and septic system comply with 7/8/85 TKDA memo and are to the satisfaction of the Building Official; the grading and drainage plan comply with the 7/3/85 memo; and the screen consist of five foot at planting pine trees spaced 12 feet on center, or a fence sufficient to make at least 50% screen, or a combination of both (to the satisfaction of the Building Official). Motion seconded by Mr. Prokop and carried unanimously. GROUP W CABLE INFORMATIONAL UPDATE Ms. Denise Durante updated the Board on the recent events surround- ing the completion of Group W Cable television to the Lino Lakes area. Also present were the regional engineer for Group W Cable; Mr. Flannery, the attorney for the seller of the property Group W plans to build their antenna system on; and the president of the Northwest Saddle Club (owner of adjoining property). Ms. Durante and Mr. Flannery explained that Group W has purchased the property along Old Birch Street for their antennaes and have learned that the seller has to get clear title from an estate which consists of 28 persons fromvarious locations. The problem of clear title will have to be cleared up before an August deadline in order for Group W to stay on schedule and satisfy their commitment to the Cable Commission. Group W has requested that the Northwest Saddle Club sell some of their land to Group W as an alternate measure. Their antenna system, etc. will not function if the location is moved any further than this adjoining property. The P & Z Board wished the best to Group W in clearing the title, because they could not grant a precedence- setting variance. The president of the Saddle Club mentioned that because the Saddle Club has no frontage, they are unable to sell any of their land. The Board agreed that this is a problem, but that they must follow the ordinances. The ordinance would not allow for less than ten acres to be split and sold in this zone, and in this case the 1 1 PLANNIN AND ZONIN'� July 10, 1985 Page Three land could not be sold due to the fact that it would not have any frontage. The president of the Saddle Club asked if the problem could be corrected by building and dedicating a road to the City on their property in order to create frontage. The Board felt that this may be a possibility forthe Saddle Club to Pursue. OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed the Comprehensive Plan review as discussed in this evening's joint meeting with the Council, Park Board and Economic Development Committee. MOTION: Mr. Cody moved to recommend that the Council continue Mr. Johnson's services as City Planner, under his new association. Motion seconded by Mr. McLean and carried unanimously.

No one had received any- thing in this regard and Mr. Kluegel accepted the responsibility of reminding Mr. Davidson.
