Joseph Booth, owner of Super Bowl, Inc., stated he would be willing to move one of the courts in <br />the fall after volleyball season is over. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner LaDue to approve the sketch <br />plan and recommend that City Council grant final plat approval to Riverview Bowl contingent upon <br />compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated May 31, 1995, and discussion involving the <br />construction of a 6-foot high privacy fence on the north property line of Parcel B and Super <br />Bowl's offer to relocate the volleyball court, before the 1996 play season, a sufficient distance <br />north to create a 40-foot buffer between the court and what is shown as Parcel B on the sketch <br />plan. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Deemer, LaDue, Hendriksen, <br />and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Holland and Terry. <br /> <br />Case #8: Request for Sketch Plan Approval of AEC Energy Park; Case of <br /> Anoka Electric Cooperative (AEC) <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that AEC has acquired approximately 138 acres in the <br />southeast comer of the intersection of C.S.A.H. #116 and C.S.A.H. #56 as part of their relocation <br />to Ramsey plans, and they are requesting sketch plan approval to plat the property into commercial <br />lots. The proposed plat consists of 10 commercial lots and 2 outlots--one for future development <br />and one for drainage purposes. In accordance with City Code, staff recommends that the drainage <br />outlot be incorporated into one of the adjacent lots and dedicated as drainage easement, so that only <br />the area for future development be designated as outlot. Ms. Frolik advised that all proposed lots <br />meet the minimum width and area requirements for the Business Warehouse District, and she <br />stated that AEC's new facility will occupy Lot 1, Block 1. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that the plat will be served by municipal sewer and water. He <br />advised that AEC's lot is proposed to receive access from both C.S.A.H. Nos. 116 and 56; all <br />other lots receive access from the extension of Sunwood Drive. Staff recommends minor <br />modifications to the proposed curve of Sunwood Drive and confirmation of the site distance at the <br />intersection of Sunwood Drive and C.S.A.H. #56. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer did not find the alignment of Sunwood Drive to be accurate, and he did not <br />feel that an M.S.A. street needs to go through the AEC parcel. He stated that this proposed <br />alignment would cost the City vehicles many miles. <br /> <br />Doug Uhrhammer, Manager of Community Development & Public Affairs for AEC, stated that <br />they have worked with the City for 1 1/2 years and have come up with a Development Agreement <br />for which the City has made commitments. This is the plan that maximizes the use of 138 acres. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated he felt that AEC is not allowing for outdoor storage---"they are not <br />giving themselves a back yard." <br /> <br />Mr. Uhrhammer stated that this is merely a sketch plan. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner LaDue and seconded by Commissioner Thorud to approve the sketch <br />plan for AEC Energy Park contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated <br />May 31, 1995, and directed the applicant to proceed to file for preliminary plat approval. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners LaDue, Thorud, and <br />Hendriksen. Voting No: Commissioner Deemer. Absent: Commissioners Holland and Terry. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 6, 1995 <br /> Page 9 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
