John i Lynn Dbugan were present for thi« matter. Mabusth explained .the request for renewal of a conditional use permit approved in 1986 to excavate a retention pond for flood control purposes. Cohen questioned the purpose of executing a hold haruless agreement. Mabusth explained that the purpose of the hold harmless agreement is to protect any rights the City has to the underlying easements area of the roadway because the excavated pond will be partially within the unused portion of the road right-of-way. Cohen felt that in conjunction with requiring a permanent hold harmless agreement, proof of liability insurance also be required. Mr. Dougan stated that he did not intend to excavate anywhere near the road and that the culvert would not be changed or altered. He also explained the history of the drainage problems which did not occur last year. He would prefer not to have the drainage pond, however, is keeping his option open based on the upcoming spring conditions. Johnson felt this improvement . was a public or neighborhood Mabusth explained that if this was the case, the Dougan's and other affected property owners would have to petition for a public improvement. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Bellows, to recommend approval per staff recommendation and subject to executing a permanent hold harmless agreement including proof of liability insurance.

He noted that a berm will also screen the building from the neighboring property. Chairman Kelley asked if there was an automatic moratorium on accessory structures because of the pending ordinance amendment?

Applicant, Byrne Williams, was unable to attend the meeting but submitted a letter requesting that the Planning Commission act on her application in her absence. Mabusth explained the request for renewal of lot area and lot width variances originally approved by the City in 1969 and 1979. She noted that the applicant has since acquired another parcel of property but it cannot be credited to the lot area because it is divided by a platted right-of-way. The ,.roposed lot area is consistent with previously approved lot area variances in the immediate neighborhood. She noted that access to this property would bring the total to four residences served by the unimproved roadway now maintained by the residents. In order for the City to upgrade and maintain this section of road, all four affected property owners would have to petition the City for the public improvement. Charles & Ann Hommeyer, 4125 Oak Street, were present and stated that upgrading the road would be of major concern to the affected property owners. I c NIBQTBS of THB PIAHHIBG COMMISSIOII MBBTIRG RKLD JMUAST 27, 1988 11239 WILLIAMS COHTIWinEDCohen agreed with the Howmeyers and felt that the application should be tabled to give the other property owners the opportunity to coninent on this critical issue. Bellows stated she did not like granting lot area and lot width variances without a building envelope. Mabusth suggested that Public Works Director Gerhardson also attend the meeting to discuss the road improvement issue. It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Johnson, to table this matter so that the affected property owners are advised about the road improvement issue and given the opportunity to comment.

Owner/Applicant, Rick Plaisted, was present for this matter. Jacobs explained that the original proposal included a 7'xlO' solarium addition to the south side, but has since been omitted because of the inability to conform with the restroom reguirements. The proposal now consists of only a drive-through/pick up station on the west side. Bellows felt it was inappropriate to review and make a recommendation on this application without a landscaping plan. Jacobs noted that there have been several changes in the plan and he has been in contact with the contractor by phone from South Dakota, which has made it difficult to solve some of the issues. Cohen and Bellows felt that the application should be tabled for staff to review the application without the solarium addition (parking requirements, etc.) and pending a landscape plan. tmniTBS OF THB PUUnilHG o S8I0H ilBBTIHG HELD JAHOART 27, 198t •ri #1240 HAVASRB OAIRT CORTIH1 Rick Plaisted clarified his current proposal to: 1) Move the garage back to provide more parking and the access for the drive-thru. 2) Move one wall 4 feet. 3) Cosmetic changes to existing building. Jacobs noted that 47 parking spaces would be required based on the revised proposal without the solarium. Planning Commission felt that the nature of the business with a drive-thru, a variance for the required parking spaces would be appropriate. There were ro comments from the public regarding this matter and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Taylor, to table this application pending a site and landscape plan, directing staff to advise applicant what will be needed. Motion, Ayes 6, Mays 0. *1241 Orm RROTBRRS NILLON DRIVR/NATSATA BOOLBVARO SKB1CH PLAN RRVIBf Rob LaFavor, Vice President of Otten Bros., was present for this matter. Chairman Kelley explained the proposal to relocate the nursery and landscape operation to the north side of Wayzata Blvd. at Willow Drive. Mabusth noted that the issue of temporary access onto Wayzata Blvd. would have to be reviewed by the City and State. She explained the City's desire for a future connection to Brimhall and the future development of the property. Planning Commission felt that access should only be off of Willow Drive at this point in time at a one user level. Johnson and Kelley stated they preferred Scheme D because it buffered the residential area better. Mabusth noted that the Comprehensive Plan amendment and performance standards for tho corridor must be completed before specific directives can be provided to the applicant . Planning Commission conceptually favored the project finding this use compatible with adjacent residential neighborhood. NIHDTBS or THE PLAimiMG COMHISSIOM TING HELD JARDART 27, 1988 BSTABLISHlfBRT OP POLICY FOR DBADLIMS DATE FCEt LARD USE APPLICATIOH ARD ADDEMDUM SUBMITTALS PC« PLAHHIR6 COMMISSIOH ARD COOHCIL Bellows, Kelley, and Cohen felt that the proposed deadline date should be moved back further for the following reasons: 1) To provide ample time for staff review to eliminate incomplete appl ic tions submitted to Planning Commission. 2) To provide Planning Commission with an earlier agenda packet to allow them to review in a timely manner which would shorten the length of the meetings. Mabusth explained the deadline date of 25 days before the meeting which is required due to the publication deadline date, however, because of the bi-weekly Council meetings and general work load, increasing the deadline date may not result in earlier delivery of Planning Commission packets. She noted that many proi.lems are due to the applicant's lack of understanding. It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Brown, to approve the policy establishing a deadline for the filing of alnd use applications and for addendum submittals when applications are tabeled during the review process, as submitted. Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 1. Bellows voted nay feeling the deadline date should be increased by another week to give staff further time to review before the publication deadline date.
