Mr. Sacco explained that there will not be any back lit lighting on the outside of the canopy and <br />underneath the canopy the lights will not be visible from the adjacent properties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if they will be installing talking pumps because she was <br />concerned with the excess noise that might create, especially at night. <br /> <br />Mr. Sacco explained that at this station they will only have them equipped to be used in <br />emergency situations and will make sure that they are not audible to neighboring residents. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that there is a Burger King in Ramsey that has boxed lighting <br />to reduce tim horizontal light dispersion that are located on such high poles that it does not work. <br />He inquired if they intend on having any lighting on poles. <br /> <br />Mr. Sacco replied that the pole lights would be 16 feet high. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik noted that they are required to keep the light from <br />reflecting on public roads or adjacent properties according to City Code. <br /> <br />John Burigee, Manger of Engineering, Holiday Station, explained that the lighting underneath <br />the canopy would be recessed into the canopy deck. SA has lights that hang below their canopy <br />and Bill's Superette has a glass lens that hangs down that provides a glare that can be seen from <br />different properties. He stated that they are willing to comply with whatever the City requests of <br />them as it pertains to lighting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired as to the hours of operation. <br /> <br />Mr. Sacco replied that they would prefer to be open 24 hours in the beginning to see how they do <br />and then, depending how that goes, make the determination if it should continue as a 24 hour <br />operation or close in the late evening. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired about the hours of operation for SA and Bill's Superette. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that SA is open 24 hours and Bill's Superette closes at 11:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired as to why the Planning Commission recommended denial of <br />the rezoning. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that they denied the request due to the <br />comments made by the public and the uncertainty of a state statute regarding the location of the <br />underground gas tanks. She did note that the Planning Commission did remind the public that <br />they could be looking at a fast food restaurant or restaurant/bar establishment under its cun'ent <br />zoning. <br /> <br />City Council/December 12,2000 <br /> Page 13 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
