10 <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer asked if it would put staff in a better negotiating position with the county <br />if the Commission ,,vas to state the City cannot have people accessing commercial property <br />through a residential neighborhood, <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler noted this would need to be determined by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jeffrey expressed concern that if the other parcel was to develop there would be a <br />whole other set of issues. <br /> <br />Steve Schmidt, applicant, 222 MGm'Ge Street in Anoka, stated he spoke with County <br />Cbmmissioners Dan Earhardt and Dennis Berg and they are looking into the situation with the <br />county engineering staff' and traffic control. His comments to them were simple in that the <br />county already approved access off of 147th Avenue on the west side of CR 56, and they cannot <br />argue about safety or sight lines on the east side of the road. He stated it makes all the sense in <br />the world to put the access there. It can be worked out that the outiot to the south is deeded to <br />the City so there is access to the south. He thinks staff is suggesting the Commission approve <br />the plat the way the county said it has to go, and he will deal with. the county. He stated he <br />understands it wilt be right~in/right-our access, and he is fine with that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy questioned the portion of the letter from the county that states :'The <br />County Engineer has reviewed the past correspondence and the current submittals regarding this <br />site as well, and concurs that access tbr the parcet is to be made entirely via 148~h Avenue NW <br />with no direct access to either CR 56 or CSAH 116." <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler noted the earlier review letters show 148th Avenue going through. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted the plat may need to be approved contingent on approval by Anoka <br />County. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Planning Commission meeting at 8:59 p.m. in <br />order to call the public hearing to order. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Chai~person Nixt called the public hearing to order at 8:59 p.m. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner JeI:£rey, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion can'/ed.
