Request for Council Action continued page 2 October 19,1995 John O'Sullivan, 3340 Shoreliiw Drive/2420 Shady^ood Road, Council Direction _________ The .87 acre site has obvious physical limitations with limited parking, multiple uses and traffic layout or design pushed to its limit when large-sized delivery trucks arrive at busy times with customers for both convenience store (gas pumps) and Navarre Auto. Staff has discussed the expanded food serv ice use within the conv enience store with Mr. O’Sullivan. The owner feels that we are singling his operation out. noting there have been no parking problems or accidents at his facility because of the use. In tact, he noted the intensified use of the food service has happened gradually over the years without any problems or concerns voiced by the Orono staff. In my discussions with John O'Sullivan. I adv ised that I would feel more comfortable if Council was asked to provide direction on ' this issue. % Based on owner ’s current level of food service use, should the owner file for a conditional u e permit? Refer to Exhibit G. Section 10.40. Subdiv ision 4 (C and D). If Council finds the current level of food serv ice use does not require conditional use review, would Council require a conditional use permit if owner installed a food service pick-up window? COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To provide direction to staff and owner.
