Mabusth said this application has been taken in as an appeal because of the many land use issues that must be resolved before a formal application can be filed. The plan calls for a commercial use of Outlot E, Sugar Woods, in B1 zoning district. The Planning Commission is asked to determine if the proposed use is consistent with intent of B -1 code for a "garage" use. There is also the issue of a partially platted east/west road to the north of the property, and City's plan to seek a final access to east at North Brown Road. The conceptual site plan consists of a showroom, an office area, garage, and car wash. One third of the structure will be for office and showroom use with the remainder for the garage and car wash. The applicant advised the showroom will house such items as tires, exhaust systems, and brake systems. One major issue involves a conflict with plat maps presented with information. The fight- of-way issue needs to be solved. Staff provided an exhibit depicting the various options for right -of -way dedications. The City Engineer and Mn/DOT say that a C/D line is being sought in the 1995 improvements. The plat map for the County shows the right -of -way as an E/F line. According to Dennis Hill of the County's Property Description Office, we should go with the right -of -way we depicted by the C/D line in lieu of that shown on the current County plat map. Hwy 12 at this location will have a median in the center is probably a turn to left or east. The median is part of the 1995 safety improvements.
