Steve Rose about the required spaces and Steve had not taken into account the display
aisles which the zoning law allows. The variance, therefore, may not be as great
as shown.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he does not see any problem with the proposed
addition or leaving those two 6,000 gallon tanks in the ground. Councilmember
Rowley stated she had no qualms about this, unless for code reasons the tanks
should not be left.
Councilmember Shelquist stated that he didn't see any problems with the building
or the retention of the tanks since he obviously has a good reason to keep them.
Councilmember Shelquist stated he does see a problem with the south exit because
he felt it creates a traffic hazard. Councilmember Shelquist stated he felt the
south exit should be closed. There is a problem with the traffic backing up and
getting across two lanes of traffic.
Mr. Dahlmeier stated that in removing the south curb cut, they would lose additional
parking. The south exit hasn't caused a problem up to this time. Councilmember
Baumgartner suggested that if it does become a problem the Police Chief could
recommend removal of the south exit. Steve Singer stated that it was a gas
station for 10 years with traffic going in and out. There is a minimum amount of
traffic now with the appliance store. If you block off the south exit there will
be a problem of visibility.
Councilmember Hodges stated he didn't see any problem with the building or the
tanks. He stated that he does not recall a traffic problem at the south exit
and wondered if it is that serious of a problem.
Mayor Pickar stated that he did not see any problems with the tanks and suggested
that paragraph 12 of the contract be removed from the agreement. The Council
could probably retain some authority for the future possibility of closing off
the south exit. Atty. Meyers suggested that this be part of the agreement.
MSP ( Pickar- Rowley) to adopt Resolution No. 773 authorizing the Development Agreement
with Steve's Appliances for an addition to this business with the exception that
paragraph 12 be amended to read: The developer agrees to close the south curb
cut on Groveland if the Police Chief submits sufficient evidence and a recommendation
to the Council that the public health, safety and welfare would warrant such action
by the Council.
PROPOSED DUPLEX DEVELOPMENT REQUEST OF WALTER BAUER, 7644 -7658 WOODLAWN DRIVE.
Atty. Meyers stated that he had prepared a contract and given it to Walter Bauer's
representative. His representative said he will look it over and report back.
Admin. Achen stated that it is a standard contract and recommended the council
approve it and then see if Mr. Bauer has any objections.
Councilmember Baumgartner asked if Section 10 should state that trees are not to
be planted on the right -of -way. Admin. Achen stated that this is prohibited
already. Atty. Meyers stated that this could be put in the contract.
MSP (Hodges - Shelquist) to adopt Resolution No. 774 approving the Development
Agreement with Walter Bauer with the modification that paragraph 10 state that
trees are not to be planted on the right -of -way.
