Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 19, 2000 • Page 7 1 Mr. Egli stated his preference that the exit not be aligned so vehicle headlights shine into their 2 homes. Mr. Kalscheur noted the existing access point and the proposed shift to the_west by about .3- ten feet. 4 Mr. Egli stated his concern about cars rushing to make the traffic signal lights and the possibility of 5 installing a turn lane to allow turns into this site. Mr. Kalscheur stated he thinks their traffic levels 6 will be less than with Amoco. Chair Bergstrom stated he does not think the road is wide enough to 7 accommodate a turn lane. 8 Mr. Egli stated it would be nice if Walgreens could have a mail drop box. Mr. Kalscheur stated 9 Walgreens is based on convenience and the best method is for a customer to raise that need to the 10 Store Manager. He stated he will also raise this option to Walgreens. 11 There being no further comment, Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. 12 Chair Bergstrom noted the need to address the rezoning, sign variance, and CUP but not the 13 subdivision lot combination issue. 14 Hanson asked if the rezoning can be considered prior to lot combination. Chair Bergstrom reviewed 15 the City .Attorney's recommendation that.the lot combination can :be accomplished- without 16 consideration before the Planning Commission or City Council. He noted the request is to rezone 17 the eastern most lot of Mr. Solie's property which Walgreens is buying. The Amoco parcel is 18 already appropriately zoned. Chair Bergstrom noted the rezoning request is consistent with the 19 general development of this area and would result in a minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. 20 Thomas stated his support to consider the requested rezoning,stating it makes sense for this general 21 area including Apache Plaza. 22 Stille asked he thinks it makes no sense to keep the other lot industrial and he supports the rezoning. 23 Motion by Hanson, second by Stille, to recommend approval of the rezoning of Lot 3, Block 1, 24 . Apache Terrace 2nd Addition, from an Industrial zoning district to a Commercial zoning-district 25 based on the finding that it is consistent with further development of the Apache Mall area including 26 the northwest quadrant, it is not anticipated to be detrimental to the City, it provides a service to 27 residents in the northern part of St. Anthony Village, and while it is not currently planned to be 28 rezoned commercial in the Comprehensive Plan,it is consistent with the general development of the 29 area anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan. 30 Motion carried unanimously. • 31 Chair Bergstrom complimented Mr. Kalscheur for not proposing a pylon sign. He stated Mr. 32 Kalscheur makes an interesting observation about the size of this building related to the sign square 33 footage. He also complimented Mr. Kalscheur on the design for limited wall signage. Chair 34 Bergstrom noted the issues related to the sign include consideration of a variance for square footage 35 and the readerboard feature which is not identified specifically within the Sign Ordinance.
