Request for Council Action continued Page 5 March 21, 1996 Zoning File #2107 John O’Sullivan/Erwnn Smith. 3340 Shoreline Drive PermitsA^ariances/Commercial Site PlaiWacation _____ - Conditional Use Landscapc/Sidewalk Areas Review Exhibit V, Hennepin County has completed a review of the right-of-way along Shoreline Drive and advises that there is adequate area and will not seek additional right-of-way from applicant. Note paved sidewalk along Shoreline Drive is located within the County nght- of-way. The Citv will ask that applicant extend the pavement to the western edge of the newly defined curb cut'to the east. The City will ask for a 7' easement to ensure there is adequate area for the paved sidewalk should the County at some time in the future seek additional right- of-wav from owner tor improvements within intersection. Green areas are shown around all sides of property. The landscaping notes show green areas will consist of landscape timbers with raised berms with bark mulch. Plantings will consist of juniper and potentilla. The low-growing shrubs w ill not create sighting problems for driv ers using County roads on property. Hours of Operation The restaurant will operate from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; the car wash from 5:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and the convenience store with gas service from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The hours of operation of O'Sullivans to the immediate south of propertv ’ is open 24 hours a day. The retail items and services provided at the convenience store at the new location will be limited in a desire to not compete with their full service convenience store operation at O'Sullivans. It is the hope of the applicants that O'Sullivans will receive most of the customers in the early morning hours going to work and that persons homeward bound would tend to stop at the new operation for serv'ice on the north side. Multiple Uses on Simile Site Members were concerned with the intense use of the IVz acre site. The B-1 Code deals with standards for a single principle use that appear inadequate when dealing with multiple uses such as those proposed for this property. The City does not have a PUD commercial code for the Navarre area. I'he same concerns were addressed when the original O'Sullivan application was presented to the City ir ’987. In that case, limitations of the area of the property (less than % of an acre) set limiu on the use and expansion of uses for that site. The B-1 Code requires ^0 000 s.f for each permitted use. The total area of the property is 66,298 s.f The restaurant, convenience store and fuel station would each satisfy the 20,000 s.f. area standard. The car wash, not listed as a permitted or conditional use, would appear more as an accessory use to the principal motor fuel station use. although this car wash is 2,160 s.f. in area. J
