Mounds View Planning Commission March 4, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Four • The Planning Commission asked that the Council try to retain the firm of Barton-Ashmann to do the traffic study, and address the following issues : on-site stacking for cars leaving the site; ingress/egress onto Silver Lake Road - right in, right out; what type of median would be needed to control access; the stacking of cars waiting to get into the car wash; and the issue of a joint shared access. Chairman Mountin asked if the two property owners would consider sharing one access onto Highway 10 between their two properties, as it is a goal to reduce the number of curb cuts onto Highway 10. Jim Hansen, of Wagner Corporation, stated they are willing to work with the Planning Commission with the traffic study, and they would like to stay on schedule and not have to wait for the results of the traffic study to be presented before moving ahead with anything else. Chairman Mountin explained it should only be a matter of two or three weeks before the study results are in, assuming they can get Barton-Ashmann right away. Commissioner Burgers asked what the plan is for the • adjacent property. Mr. Hansen replied they have no tenant for the remainder of the property at this time , and if Amoco is approved and goes in, they will develop the adjacent property as quickly as possible. He added they are both flexible and negotiable as to what goes on that parcel and they will keep the best interests of the City in mind when seeking a tenant. Chairman Mountin stated they should check with MnDOT on the curb cut issue, as now would be the time to go with a single cut, whiledevelopment is occuring. Mr. Filippi stated he will make the necessary applica- tions to MnDOT, as appropriate . The Planning Commission agreed to ask the Council for the traffic study, and continue discussion on the development at the next agenda session if there is any additional information, and place it on the April 1 , 1987 agenda, for the next regular business meeting. Carl Kristophec, of Amoco Corporation, stated he could assure the Planning Commission there would be no • problem with outside trash on the site, as that is a top priority of all their facilities, to be neat and well kept and a good neighbor. He added he feels this development would be a dramatic improvement to the City, and they will be proud of it.
