STAFF REPORT CASE: 145-83 PAGE 2 OF 4 Note: Staff has requested that the IppliC,ant submit, as part Of this application, a traffic study noting the impact of the proposed development on traffic in the general area. The traffic study has not been completed in time for review at the November. 16th meeting. The purpose of the placement of this item on the November 16, 1983, agenda is to inform the Planning Commission of this application and to receive initial input into this proposal. A preliminary traffic study should be available for discussion at the workshop meeting on November 16th. The final traffic study is scheduled to be submitted in time to continue discussion at your regular meeting in December at which time a recommendation could he given or delayed depending upon the status of the review process. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 1. The existing zoning of the proprer.ty is I-1, Industrial. The property may be officially rezoned to B-2 as part of the Comprehensive rezoning currently underway by the time review of this application is at the official rezoning stage. The rezoning being requested at the present time is I-1 to B-3. This may change from (I-1 to B-3) to (B-2 to B-3) at such time as the Comprehensive rezoning is completed. The Council has approved a rezoning to B-2, but an ordinance to rezone has not officially been drafted and approved. • MINOR SUBDIVISION 1. A minor subdivision of one lot into 2 is being requested for this development. Existina Code does not list minimums for lot sizes or frontages for commercial property, therefore, the two lots are in conformance with Zoning Code requirements. To provide better access to the property (access/traffic will be covered when the traffic study is made available), staff questioned the location of the proposed subdivision line. At present, the only useable access to the property is from County Road I. A repositioning of the subdivision line out to Mounds View Drive thereby providing access to and from this development site would have been preferable and still should be pursued. The property seller, Kraus -Anderson, was not receptive to selling additional property to Burger King to allow access out to Mounds View Drive. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. A convenience food establishment is a permitted use in a B-3, Highway Business District by conditional use permit. All items • listed under Section 40.17, Subdivision D(1) seem to have been met with the exception of item F. The access and traffic of this area will be discussed and reviewed at a later time when professional information is available. Should the Commission
