Mounds View Planning Commission November 6, 1996 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 19 <br /> Chair Peterson expressed that he is pleased <br /> with Saturn's operation and until this evening <br /> had not heard of any complaints. <br /> Mr. Price again expressed that the reason they <br /> are requesting the expansion is due to <br /> customer demand. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson inquired as to what <br /> the applicant's time frame is regarding the <br /> expansion. The applicant indicated that it <br /> would probably take place in the Spring but that <br /> they need to close on the land because there <br /> are tanks on the CITGO property. These tanks <br /> are not leaking now, but they want to remove <br /> them as soon as possible so they may close on <br /> the property as soon as possible. <br /> • Commissioner Brasaemle expressed that he <br /> understands the concerns of the residents but <br /> he does think this development is good for <br /> Mounds View and that Saturn does have a <br /> good reputation, and he too is concerned with <br /> the potential environmental problems of the <br /> existing gas station and that the tanks probably <br /> have not been upgraded and probably will not <br /> be upgraded to current standards. <br /> (Commissioner Brooks left at 9:30 p.m.) <br /> Chair Peterson asked the applicant if it is <br /> normal not to have gas pumps at the Saturn <br /> facility? Mr. Price indicated that they do not <br /> install gas pumps at any of their stores because <br /> of the problems with tanks. <br /> Commissioner Miller inquired as to how we <br /> address the concerns of the adjacent property <br /> owner and with the promise of the Council that <br /> there would be oil changes only? Director <br /> Sheldon responded by saying that the applicant <br /> has the right to apply for the expansion. <br />
