Planning Commission Minutes . -2- Nov. 28,1977
Sundst--m asked how close duplex lot # 14 is to TN S. Mr. Knutson stated the
lot is setback 50' from the ROW and the lot's depth is 150 feet.
The planner stated the '68 Guide Plan depicts this site as Commercial at the present
gas station site, and the surrounding area as Multiple. He stated Rieke-Carrol-
Muller is presently conducting a study -on sanitary sewer plan for the area and
corresponding road system.
The planner believed 4 fast food restaurants if built, would produce traffic
• preblemis at this intersection.
Mr. Knutson stated they have a couple restaurants interested in sites and the other
uses may be bank branches, etc.
Redpath expressed concern that 4 fast food uses would produce traffic problems similar
to Highway 7 and TH 101 and that a right-in/right-out would be the minimum improvement
necessary. .
The planner stated the proponent has not requested a full access on TH 59 1250' west
of 4/5 intersection., but the staff is investigating the possibility with the highway
department. He felt the 3 vital questions are: should there be comnerci al ?, how
much commercial L and how should the site be served?
McCulloch expressed concern that the intersection presently has traffic problems
and the proposed plat by COR would create adds tioi:a; problems.
® Sundstroim questiored why commercial uses are not located behind the present gas station
and not along TH S. M r. Knutson responded in previous discussion with City Staff it
was felt commercial would not be appropriate along Co. Rd. 4 as it is residential in
character.
Retterath felt the cum i erci al uses proposed would be more appropriate in the MCA. Schee
concurred.
Sundstrom asked if and In the audience had questions or copy, nts.
Pr. Putnam, 3045 Casco Piont Road, Mound, stated 1 intent of the 4/5 Study was to"down-
play" commercial because of the traffic problems . In addition he felt the odors
treated by fast food centers mould be offensive to the nearby residential if not
controlled properly. He felt some commercial at the site would be viable , but not 4 .
