<br />Commissioner VanScoy acknowledged the work being done to improve traffic on Highway 10. <br />He asked if there is a desire to add an additional access onto the roadway. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the City would not have control over that <br />element. He stated that it is not ideal but in the future access may be provided from the back of <br />the parcel. He stated that there is not yet an approved plan for this section of the Highway 10 <br />corridor. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if there has been discussion on moving the weigh station. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that has been a part of the Highway 10 <br />planning effort but unfortunately MnDOT does not have plans or desires to relocate the weigh <br />station or rest stop. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br /> <br />th <br />Paul Stone, 2181 107 Lane in Blaine, stated that the well would be located on the south side of <br />the building and identified the proposed location. <br /> <br />Eric Nathe, Riverside Farms in Elk River, stated that stretch of Highway 10 is horrible. He <br />stated that he is one of three farmers that use Highway 10 every day. He stated that he has been <br />on the highway when trailers are being unloaded and it is not simple. He stated that he has <br />purchased a trailer from M&G and supports the business, he simply believed that there should be <br />a better entrance to the business to allow sufficient space for trucks and semis accessing that site. <br />He stated that he would prefer to have two accesses. He did not see the point of requiring a <br />holding pond on the property. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that the stormwater pond is required to treat <br />the runoff from the impervious surface. He stated that the business has been informed not to <br />park on the shoulder/right-of-way from the DOT. <br /> <br />Mr. Nathe stated that he does not have a problem with the request but believes that the trucks <br />attempting to access the site will have problems. He stated that if the holding pond were moved <br />to the back corner that would provide additional space for a second access. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that the State controls Highway 10 access and it would be unlikely that <br />DOT would support a second access. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Woestehoff, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Anderson, Woestehoff, <br />Gengler, Johnson, Peters, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ June 6, 2019 <br />Page 13 of 21 <br /> <br />
