Keith Tussing thanked Teague and the Planning Commission for their efforts, Teague presented a special use permit for the Ken's Market site located at Co, Rd. D and Cleveland Ave, The request is to reduce the side street yard setback from 30 ft. to 15 ft. to reconfigure the parking lot. The proposed reconfiguration would increase the number of parking spaces from 75 to 79 by providing 4 disability parking stalls. The landscaping plan remains with the exception of two additional spruce trees. There is a sewer manhole on the northwest corner which the City accesses several times a year. A 10 ft. utility easement would be dedicated along the western property line, and the City would need to pave this easement to allow for truck access to the manhole, Keith McDonald, applicant, requested deferral of the easement at this time, Kevin Locke, Community Development Director, does not believe subsequent discussions would affect whether the easement is needed or how it is performed. Benke noted the MNDOT I-35W easement adjacent to the proposed easement, and asked if the City could negotiate a freeway right-of-way easement. Teague verified this easement is in place, but the Public Works Department cannot access through the fence with their trucks, and the truck weight demands pavement surfacing, Samuelson asked if landscaping will be affected by the easement. Teague said the trees and landscaping will not be affected, Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING SP-216, SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1.
