HimiTES OP THE PLANNIINS COMMISSION MEETING NOVEMBBS 20, 1989 <br />zonuk; pii^ *1472-caalson continued <br />Planning Commissioner Brown asked about the status of the <br />crosswalk being proposed. <br />Mabusth said that Public Works Director Gerhardson had <br />received word from Hennepin County that a crosswalk would be <br />acceptable. <br />Kelley suggested that the City may wish to continue <br />monitoring crossing of County Road 15 to see if it will warrant a <br />crosswalk. <br />Brown suggested going ahead with the crosswalk now since <br />approval and funding was no problem. <br />Kelley asked whether boats would be stored on the property <br />in the winter? <br />Mr. Carlson said that he had no intention of storing boats <br />in the parking lot, with the exception of one vessel that may be <br />displayed for sale. <br />Planning Commissioner Bellows observed that it will be <br />necessary to make sure there is ample room for parking cars <br />with boat trailers that may atop to buy bait. <br />Kelley recommended using Spates Avenue for parking such <br />vehicles. <br />Mr. Dan Crear, 1980 Spates Avenue, advised the Planning <br />Commission that parking was not allowed on Spates Avenue. <br />Mr. Tourangeau, 2060 Spates Avenue, said that County Road 15 <br />would be used for parking rather than Spates Avenue. <br />Bellows questioned whether an additional curb cut would be a <br />more safe approach to the parking. <br />Brown questioned whether the situation has changed to a <br />degree that parking on Spates could be allowed and restrict <br />parking on County Road 15. <br />Mr. Crear believes that the use proposed for this location <br />is much more intensified than what had previously existed. Ee <br />was also concerned about the potential sale of jet skis. Mr. <br />Crear also noted that due to changes in the design of the County <br />Road 51 6 15 intersection, large trucks cannot use the <br />intersection. He said the trucks use Spates Avenue, as do the <br />Police and morning traffic trying to get onto County Road 15. He <br />said that the business proposed for this building would only add <br />to what is now a bad situation for traffic. <br />Mabusth recollected that at one time there had been <br />discussion about placing a cul-de-sac at the end of Spates.
