" , . New Brighton Planning Commission , Reg u 1 a r r~ e e tin g nay 18, 1982 Page #7 ~-104. SGT. BILKO'S INC. Chairman Williams opened the public hearing. Staff reported that since the last Planning Commission consideration on May 4, 1982, the applicant has not presented any additional information regarding parking. ( Jim Hanna, applicant, reported that he has met with the Liquor Director and Mark Clark owner of the drug store concerning additional parking. He also stated that if the fence by the Skelly Station were removed there would be additional parking spaces in that area. He noted that he had not been able to meet with Gladys Walbon. As requested by the Planning Commission, he set up a tour of the Camel, Club in Forrest Lake on May 15, 1982 but no one was able to attend. He stated that held be willing to set up another tour on June 5, 1982, Chairman Williams stated the parking situation is still not resolved. He noted on the one space for every 2 seats the applicant was 50 spaces short. He commented that because of the lack of concrete information with drawings showning parking and firm written committments for parking the Planning Commission could not recommend approval and send the application on to the Council. Commissioner Baker stated that binding parking committments that are long term should be obtained by the applicant and not secured on a yearly basis. Commissioner Weaver indicated that she drove around the area and could not visualize where the applicant would obtain the necessary parking. She noted that behind Skelly there were numerous junk cars and a joint parking area between Skelly and the applicant would probably take a great deal of cooperation. She questioned if the consideration of the special use permit should not include paving and striping to assure orderly parking. Staff stated that if parking were the main concern and that there could be safety problems because of a lack of definitive parking spaces, paving and striping could be a condition of the special use permit. Commissioner Knuth commented that the applicant's general statements about parking were far from the requested definitive parking study requested. He stated that the applicant as an alternative should reduce the capacity SP-104 9:40 P.M. to 10:14 P.M.
