Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that they talked about a master plan for the area when <br />Casey's was developed. He identified additional streets that would be extended to provide access <br />to the other parts of the outlot. He confirmed that there would be adequate access. <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented that the concern he would have is that the architectural walls <br />near the roads could impact sightlines for pedestrians and traffic. He stated that other than that he <br />is comfortable with the request. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that additional review could be done to ensure sightlines <br />are not impacted. <br />Commissioner Anderson replied that this is a good layout, with the few comments made by the <br />Commission. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that architectural details were provided of the trash enclosure <br />for comment from the Commission. She stated that the staff report provided specific comments. <br />She stated that staff also recommended a bike rack onsite as staff anticipates people biking to get <br />auto parts if their vehicle needs repair. <br />Commissioner Anderson agreed that every business should have a bike rack. <br />Commissioner Gengler agreed. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she was unsure how much of that decision would be of the <br />City as compared to the business owner. She noted that some auto parts would not be able to be <br />carried by someone riding a bicycle. She asked if that would be a requirement or suggestion. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that it is a recommendation within the design guidelines <br />for The COR but not a requirement. She stated that because additional parking is being requested, <br />this could be a negotiation. <br />Chairperson Bauer asked if EDA staff is concerned with the remaining lot size. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that Economic Development Manager Sullivan has been <br />working on this project for some time and is not concerned with the remaining parcel size. She <br />asked for direction from the Commission on whether the applicant should move forward to submit <br />the Conditional Use Permit request. <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that he would rather see additional parking than the business not having <br />enough parking. <br />Commissioner Peters agreed that it could be helpful to have a few additional stalls for this type of <br />business. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would like to see this type of business come to the <br />community for Ramsey residents. <br />Planning Commission/ February 11, 2021 <br />Page 5of10 <br />
