12 Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Jeffrey, to recommend that the City Council grant approval of the proposed preliminary plat contingent upon compliance with City, Staff Review Letter dated July 30, 2004 and approval of the request for site plan approval. The preliminary plat should include the following: · Access to tine up with the i47~' Avenue/Ramsey Boulevard intersection east of Ramsey Boulevard. · The creation.of an outlot adjacent to the southern lot to allow for future connection to the road network. The minimum cut-de-sac length necessary as determined by staff at the termini of 148m Avenue. Further Discussion: Mr. Sctunidt indicated the site will meet the setback and requirements. His plan is to eliminate future issues with the parcel on the corner by deeding the outlot to the City so it is there t'or access purposes. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated staff w'ill continue to explore the access issue with the county. Commissioner Brauer asked if the access being proposed at 147~' Avenue locks them in if the county decides it needs to be at a different location. Mr. Schrnidt replied he thinks the county will be hard pressed not to have the access where it already is. Putting 148th Avenue through would create more problems with CR 56 and traffic. Commissioner Brauer asked if something should be included in the motion to state the Commission is opposed to 148~' Av'enue going through. Mr. Schmidt replied if it is included in the minutes he can communicate that to the county. Chairperson Nixt commented the recommendation of the Commission is based on their desire to achieve the appropriate line- up given the existing development along CR 56 and to avoid the staggered access that would result if the access were to be approved at 148th Avenue, which they are opposed to at this time. This access at 147th Avenue would also facilitate the county's desire to eliminate additional access to CR 56. Commissioner Watson stated access at 148th Avenue going through the residential neighborhood would be a violation of the comprehensive plan. There are several things in the comprehensive plan regarding the separation of new development from existing neighborhoods, the flow of traffic, and those types of things. There are about 20 dif£erent things in the comprehensive plan that the access at 148th Avenue would be in violation. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Jeffrey, Brunet, Van Scoy and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Johnson and Shepherd. ~ Request for Site Plan Review for Expansion of Wiser Choice Liquor Store; ~[ & W Holding, LLC ~mmunity' ~ Director Tr~.}d~eon indicated the City of Ramsey has received a request ~br.~.ite plan revie~'f Wise of M&W Holding Company to construct ~e L~u~b_e site plan is proposing to add 1,960 ~~ a, ddition will be }itilized ~br ~~~e area.
