<br />
<br />Motion by Larson, seconded by Samuelson to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT A
<br />RESOLUTION APPROVING PRD-60, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS AS STATED.
<br />
<br />5 Ayes, 0 Nayes. Motion carried,
<br />
<br />Benke thanked Council, Staff, and developer for the time they have invested in bringing
<br />this project to an acceptable development proposal. He noted that the Rice Creek Center
<br />redevelopment issue has been discussed in different proposals over the years, so it is
<br />gratifying to know that closure appears to be in the near future,
<br />
<br />City Planner Cary Teague reviewed four requests by Hermann's Mobil Station, 500 Old
<br />Highway 8, The requests include:
<br />
<br />1. SITE PLAN REVIEW for the construction of two canopies and remodeling of the car
<br />wash,
<br />2, TYPE IV NON-CONFORMING USE PERMIT for setbacks for drive and parking areas,
<br />drive entrances as they relate to number per street frontage, drive aisle widths,
<br />parking lot and drive aisle perimeter curbing, pavement of off-street parking
<br />areas, and off-street parking area striping.
<br />3. VARIANCE to set the canopy on Old Highway 8 closer than the code required 30
<br />feet.
<br />4, SPECIAL USE PERMIT to locate both canopies up to 10 feet from each right-of-way
<br />(if the variance is denied),
<br />
<br />Teague explained the staff recommendations for approval of all the requests except that
<br />for the variance. Staff did not believe this request exhibited a unique circumstance in
<br />which a hardship would be brought upon the applicant should the variance be denied,
<br />
<br />Larson noted that at the Planning Commission, the applicant indicated the southbound
<br />cut from Old Highway 8 that goes into the area used by the truck traffic using the diesel
<br />pumps is such that traffic is going over the curb, Widening this, instead of eliminating
<br />it, would provide for better turn radius for the trucks using the diesel pumps and filling
<br />the tanks, Teague noted that staff did agree with this request as shown in the report.
<br />
<br />With regard to the parking and the truck traffic, Gunderman expressed some concern for
<br />the consumer pumping gas. Hermann reponded that it did not appear there could be a
<br />need for concern, however, if after the facility were in full operation using the proposed
<br />changes, parking area could be decreased.
<br />
<br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Hoffman, TO WAIVE TIlE READING AND ADOPT THE
<br />STAFF RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION DENYING VN-318, DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO
<br />HARDSIllP IS INDICATED TO WARRANT APPROVAL OF THE 25 FOOT CANOPY SETBACK.
<br />
<br />5 Ayes, 0 Nayes, Motion carried,
<br />
<br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Hoffman, TO WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT TIlE
<br />STAFF RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION APPROVING SP-204, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF LP-
