Councilmcrnber Hendriksen stated that the gas station was an exclusion when they approved the <br />rest of the site and he would assume that everyone understood that something would be built on <br />the site in the near future. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would be concerned about the accesses going in and out of the <br />facility, but not traffic within the facility. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that her concern is traffic stacking up on Sunfish Lake Boulevard <br />and the way the traffic is moving inside the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he did not see anything wrong with having the agencies <br />review the site and make sure they are dong the best job possible to minimize traffic problems in <br />the area. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the accesses already exist. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that the type of traffic that goes through a gas station or fast food <br />restaurant is a lot more frequent. She stated that she was trying to eliminate future problems. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that there were two issues, internal site circulation and off-site <br />generation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that she needs to know more about the flow of traffic within the <br />development before she could vote in favor of the site plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that there were some questions he had regarding the site plan, such as <br />the location of the loading area and what it would be used for. <br /> <br />Robert Foster, Attorney representing Mr. Yamoutour, stated that if they are given the <br />opportunity, they could answer all the questions regarding traffic stacking. He stated that the <br />problem with postponing the vote another 30 days is that it would put the project in jeopardy <br />because the project could not begin this year. <br /> <br />Jack Ovick, Architect, stated that there are two existing entrances to the site and they would not <br />be revised at all and this development has no control over the access points. The development <br />will obviously draw traffic into the site, but they have used the MnDOT turning radius to <br />determine how the cars can maneuver through the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Griswald, Beaudry Oil, stated that in regards to the tanker being able to maneuver within the <br />site, Mr. Ovick came to them before finishing the design and asked where they would place the <br />filling station. Mr. Griswald reviewed those locations. <br /> <br />City Council/September 11, 2002 <br /> Page 23 of 31 <br /> <br /> <br />
