no access rights exist (the southeast corner of Lot 2). The plan has been forwarded to Mn/DOT <br />for comment and written response was received at the City on October 4, 1999. MnTDOT is <br />recommending that the common access in the southwest corner of Lot 2 (pawn shop parcel) be <br />relocated slightly to the west on the common property line of the pawn shop and Zitco parcel to <br />line up with the Highway #10 median crossing. This relocation of the legal access will require <br />the cooperation of Mn/DOT and property owners in Guy Addition. The process can be initiated <br />by Mr. Zitzloffat any time. No screening is required because the adjacent parcels are also zoned <br />commercial. The site plan provides the required 20 foot wide landscaped area parallel to <br />Highway #10 and at Staff's request, an additional 20 feet has been preserved for a possible future <br />service road. Staff recommended and the Applicant agreed to add a couple more trees to the <br />plan. The facility will be serviced by municipal sewer and water. Because of pre-existing <br />stormwater problems in the area, the development will require stormwater improvements. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan inquired if Mr. Zitzloffhad any questions in regards to access. <br /> <br />Mr. Zitzloff replied that his architects are working on the issue. He stated that he did have one <br />concern over the trees. He did not mind adding additional trees, but concerned blocking the front <br />of the businesses and was thinking of a landscape plan that would utilize the same amount of <br />trees, but open up the front of the building. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik replied a cluster plan would be appropriate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that it would be appropriate for the correct Staff person to <br />develop an appropriate landscape plan so that the building is not screened. He inquired how they <br />intend to construct the building in the proposed location when the water drains from the adjacent <br />property owner directly into the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Zitzloff explained that his architects have developed a wall that will drain the water to the <br />back of the property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen replied that he is concerned that it will cause a flooding problem for <br />the neighbor. <br /> <br />Mr. Zitzloff stated that he has attempted to contact J.R.'s several times and has not received a <br />call back in regards to the drainage problems. He expressed that maybe J.R.'s will be forced to <br />deal with his water if it cannot drain through the property. Mr. Zitzloff stated that it is not his <br />intentions to be an unfriendly neighbor, but he does have to protect his building. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the site plan is approved would anything need to be done <br />to protect the City. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich replied that the City would not accept any liability by approving the site <br />plan. <br /> <br />City Council/October 12, 1999 <br /> Page 13 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
