Minutes - Planning Commission - 07/11/2007

Home

Ms. Jacklyn Abendroth, 15810 Sodium Street NW, stated there is not even a right turn lane onto 157th Lane, and that is a problem. She questioned what they are going to do with County Road 5 and stated that is also a problem. Ms. Abendroth stated they were at the first meeting when this went to the secretarial service, and it was said at the time that the use of this property for a day care was through a conditional use permit that was supposed to be approved by the City Planning Commission and the Council before it was even considered. Tonight is sounds like it's a given deal. She would like to go back to those minutes at the time of the original sale and have that reviewed. Ms. Lublin stated when the church was located here there was a daycare there as well; children were there every day. A year or so before the church moved out they had two temporary buildings on the north side of the parking lot for their activities. Associate Planner Geisler indicated that the 1991 permit specifically calls out the daycare as a permitted use. Chairperson Nixt directed staff to provide the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting for the original permit to Ms. Abendroth. Commissioner Brauer noted with the re-approval of the permit last fall the daycare was specifically listed as a permitted use. Chairperson Nixt noted the City Engineer has pointed out additional street improvements would be nice but cannot be imposed as a condition. He will repeal that request and just go with the screening and buffering requirements. Commissioner Brauer inquired about limitations on the size of the deli. He noted the hours are proposed as 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and until 2:00 p.m. on weekends. Chairperson Nixt asked if this would be amenable to the applicant. Ms. Lublin indicated the deli could be open to 4:00 on the weekend. Commissioner Levine suggested hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. 7 days per week. Motion by Commissioner Hunt, seconded by Commissioner Trites Rolle, to approve the request for an amendment to the Northern Counties Secretarial Services Conditional Use Permit, based on the findings of fact, and contingent upon site plan approval and the following additions and amendments to the conditions: · Addition of condition number 11 as follows: "Additional buffer and screening to be added consistent with the requirements between B-1 and R-1 districts." · Addition of condition number 12 limiting the deli by pulling out the following paragraph on page 19: "A coffee shop/deli of approximately 1000 square feet, with seating inside for 24 (approximately 6 tables) and an outside three season patio for an additional 24 (approximately 6 tables).
