Commissioner Danger questioned if the proposed pumps would also dispense diesel. Mr. Tobasi, the owner, reported Minnoco would not offer diesel fuel. He explained Minnoco's main focus would be to push renewable fuels. He noted Minnoco was a Minnesota based company. Commissioner Deick inquired how often the fuel tanks would need filling. Mr. Puchtel estimated this would occur twice a month. He described where the tanker would be located in order to fill the underground tanks. Commissioner Deick asked if the existing tanks would be used. Mr. Puchtel explained the existing tanks would not be disturbed. He was planning to double pipe from the existing tanks to the new islands. Commissioner Frischman requested further information on the traffic flow through the property. Mr. Puchtel stated he would prefer to see traffic enter the site from Old Highway 8 or Sixth Street. Further discussion ensued regarding traffic flow through the site. Motion by Commissioner McPherson, seconded by Commissioner Murphy to close the Public Hearing. Approved 7-0. Chairperson Nichols-Matkaiti questioned if the staff recommendation needed to be altered in any way given the fact the canopy and pumps may be shifted to the north several feet. Planning Director Gundlach recommended the language within Condition #1 be altered; adding language that states the pumps and canopy can be shifted to the north to ensure adequate maneuvering was available around the southerly pump, so long as all setback requirements were being met. The Commission supported this recommendation. Commissioner Deick wanted to see an adjustment to the curb cut near the sign at the southeast corner to allow for better circulation of traffic through the site. The applicant supported this recommendation. Planning Director Gundlach commented it would not be necessary to include language within the staff recommendation regarding the curb cut because slight adjustments could be made without impacting the overall site plan. Motion by Commissioner Murphy, seconded by Commissioner Deick, to approve staff recommendation amending Condition #1 as discussed above. Approved 7-0. Other Business: None. Adjournment: Motion by Commissioner Miwa, seconded by Commissioner McPherson, to adjourn the meeting. 7 Ayes, 0 Nayes, Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:57 PM Respectfully submitted, �W U- &a0 -u - Janice Gundlach Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Director of Planning 51
