SP-208,NC-112,LP-347, Motion by Livingston TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AND SUBJECT TO (CN.4) . There was no second to the motion. CONDITIONS ELIMINATING ONDITION O Baker amended the motion, adding: 8. A-. LL EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER PARKING SHALL BE SINGLEDEPTH PARKING 9. A. DEQUATE EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER PARKING WILL BE MAINTAINED ON SITE Baker asked Teague if such an condition could be enforced. Teague responded affirmatively; that is the reason for the condition that all the parking be striped. Baker asked how customer cars could be distinguished from inventory cars. Zisla asked what Baker wanted to accomplish by his amended motion. Baker said he wanted to eliminate parking on Service Drive. Livingston seconded the amended motion. Livingston suggested that, if Minar cannot stop employees from parking on Service Drive, the City could post the street “2-hour parking.” Baker called for a vote on the amendment to the motion. 7 Ayes - 0 Nays. Motion Carried. Schiferl stated Service Drive is unsightly and parking should not be allowed on Service Drive. Larson said the City could post Service Drive “No Parking.” Schiferl said that would make Minar’s site look better. Schiferl said a business could prohibit its employees from parking on the street. Larson stated Service Drive is a public street and, therefore, Minar cannot prohibit its employees from parking on it. Baker called for a vote on the amended motion. 7 Ayes - 0 Nays. Motion Carried. Ordinance Amendment - Section 5-140 Teague reviewed his memo relating to repealing gasoline and ice sales in the B-2 Zoning District. Zisla stated that, considering policies in the Comprehensive Plan, some uses north of Freedom Park would not fit with the narrow definition of the ordinance amendment. Broadway Pizza and the driving school do not fit the definition. Generally, the negative effects of a gasoline station apply in the same manner to a high density residential community. Zisla said the argument for this amendment was inconsistent. We may be treating single family residential and multi-family much differently. Teague stated some of these B-2 areas are adjacent to higher density areas. For example, an area on Silver Lake Road is adjacent to multiple family housing. Zisla said that certain uses were incompatible with residential uses. Baker asked if any gas stations will be made nonconforming because of the proposed amendment. Teague responded negatively. Baker asked about the statement that gasoline stations create fumes that detract from the enjoyment and use of residential property. Baker asked if the fumes would be from the gasoline. Teague responded affirmatively. Baker stated he had difficulty believing that statement. Baker said that, if the statement were true, New Brighton has some serious problems with air pollution. Schiferl said he agreed with Baker. Schiferl asked if Tank and Tummy was in a B-3 district. Teague responded affirmatively, and Tank and Tummy is adjacent to industrial uses.
