CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
. July 16,1974
The meeting was called to order by Chairman McGinn at 7:37 P.M.
The following were present for roll call: Johnson, Kronk, Letourneau, McGinn,
Mr. Ken Hiebel, 3341 Skycroft Circle, as well as Mr. W.J. Bowerman, 3129 Croft
Drive, the latter two being newly appointed to the Board but not yet sworn into
office.
Also present: Jim Fornell & Harry Lekson
Absent: Marks
The following amendments were made to the Planning Board minutes of June 18,
1974:
Page 1-Para. 3: Substitute "lot size variance" for "conditional use permit"
Page 1-Para. 6: Insert a "," after "22 years".
Page 2-Para. 1: Strike "for a conditional use- permit"
The minutes were approved as amended.
Mr. Don Poupard, agent for Mr. Norman F. Dyer, who said he had a contract to sell
the lot owned by Mr. Norman F. Dyer, 2835 Nicollet Avenue South, and identified
as Lot 12, Block 11 of St. Anthony Office Park requested the Board's recommend-
ation of approval of a Public Hearing on the rezoning of that lot from Light
• Industrial to Commercial. Mr. Poupard identified the company interested in the
property as McDonald's Restaurant and presented a rough sketch of the proposed
structure. He explained that since no legal papers had been signed by McDonalds
to date, no representative of the company was present. Mr. Poupard also told of
his contacts with the T.K. Gray Company and the Leslie Paper Company who are
both in the office park, and said the only objections were Mr. Gray's anxiety
that vandalism at his plant might increase and Mr. Leslie's concern with possible
interference by the traffic generated by the restaurant with the semi trailers
which service his plant. Mr Poupard said he felt he had answered both object-
ions satisfactorily.
Neither he nor Mr. Dyer were able to give exact projections of traffic generation
which might result from the restaurant business. Mr. Fornell gave the Board,
as further information on this point, the Project Data Sheets showing proposed
improvements to be made on County Road C.
Following a question from Mr. Lekson, Mr. Poupard said McDonald's understood that
the signs they normally use on their restaurants would not meet the City of
St. Anthony's sign ordinance.
After a discussion of the anticipated square footage of the proposed structure
as well as number of eating spaces and parking facilities which might be
necessary, the following motion was made but died for lack of a second:
Motion by Mr. Johnson that the Planning Board recommend to the Council that a
• Public Hearing be set on the proposed rezoning of Lot 12, Block 1 of St. Anthony
Office Park from Light Industrial to Commercial.
Mrs. McGinn said she felt the project would be a "conflicting use" of the office
park land and the following motion was made:

t
• -2-
Motion by Mr. Letourneau and seconded by Mrs. McGinn to deny Mr. Dyer's request
for a recommendation of approval for a Public Hearing on the rezoning of his
property from Light Industrial to Commercial for restaurant use.
Voting on the motion:
Aye: Letourneau & McGinn
I ay: Johnson & Kxonk
Motion not carried.
Mrs. McGinn then advised Mr. Dyer to present his request to the Council at their
next meeting July 23, 1974 and told him that Mr. Letourneau would represent the
Board at that meeting.
She then invited the Board members to attend the meeting of the Ramsey County
League regarding open spaces use which was to be held the next evening in the
Arden Hills City Hall.
Mrs. McGinn also advised the new members of the next work session of the Board
which was to be held on August 6, 1974.
Motion by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Kronk to adjourn the meeting at 8:30
P.M. to resume work on the zoning ordinance.
Motion carried.
Helen Crowe, Secy.
