It was noted that TOLD Development Company has submitted formal petitions to the City 19 for a petition for rezoning, lot combination,petition for a sign variance, and for a Conditional Use 20 Permit(CUP). Henry noted the background information as contained in staff's report and introduced 21 the applicant. It was noted that staff recommends approval of the development,per staff comments 22 contained in her memorandum,the City Engineer's comments,and 37th Avenue curb cut approval. 23 Mr.Mike Kalscheur of TOLD Development thanked Ms. Henry and Todd Hubmer for their efforts 24 in assisting with the timely review of this full submittal. He presented the proposed site plan,noting 25 the vacant Amoco filling station would be demolished and 265 feet would be obtained from the 26 adjacent parcel and combined into one lot for the construction of a Walgreens store. Mr. Kalscheur 27 noted the realignment of an exit to the east so it better aligns with Belden Street. He explained the 28 changes made to address storm water drainage and management. He explained that on sites of.less 29 than five acres, there is usually not a requirement to retain storm drainage or to improve water 30 quality. However, in St. Anthony, guidelines have been enacted so they have added a stormwater 31 retention pond. Mr. Kalscheur stated they still intend to save as many on site trees as possible, 32 noting several will have to be removed to accommodate the storm drainage pond which is as small 33 as possible to meet the City's guidelines. He explained how the storm water will be directed to an 34 existing storm water pipe and advised of their efforts to work with the railroad in case an easement 35 is needed. If they are unable to obtain such an easement,they would propose to connect to the storm .36 pipe located to the south of this site. 37 In response to Chair Bergstrom, Mr. Kalscheur stated he believes that with either route, the water 38 goes into Silver Lake.
