:Vr -3- Motion carried unanimously. PLAISTED REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOW FOR DAIRY QUEEN Application for: conditional_ use permit in a commercial zone to include a drive- through window in the expansion and remodeling of that St. Anthony Shopping Center store. Proponents: Albert Plaisted, 5210 O'Connell Drive, Moundsview, MN (owner) . Charles Anderson of Blue Line Construction,. North St. Paul (contractor) Opponents: None. Staff input: provided picture of another Dairy Queen store which would differ from this one mainly in that no roof would be constructed over the drive-through area; raised no objections to request. Commission recommendation: approval with conditions related to traffic flow patterns. Council Action: Motion by Marks, seconded by Makowske to grant the requested conditonal use permit in a commercial zone to Albert Plaisted which would allow the inclusion of a drive- through window in conjunction with the proposed expansion and remodeling of the Dairy Queen at 2612 Highway 88 on the conditon that markings on the surface of the adjacent parking area as well as signage be provided to direct the traffic past the drive- through window in a proper manner. In granting the permit, the Council finds, as did the Planning Commission, that: 1 . the applicant had answered all three questions in the application in the affirmative as required by statute; 2. the addition of the drive-through window would not interfere with existing traffic flow patterns or cause congestion problems that would be peculiar to that area; 3. no opposition to the permit was demonstrated at either the October 21st Commission hearing or the Council consideration October 28th, and staff reported receiving no calls related to the variance prior to either meeting; and 4. the applicant appears to be making every effort to upgrade his property, improve its appearance, and to bring it into conformance with what is seen to be a positive approach by the center owners to upgrade the entire shop- ping center. Motion carried unanimously. REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE FOR DAIRY QUEEN Application for: variance to Sign Ordinance which would allow a free-standing sign (60 square feet on each side) in addition to logo on new roof.
