<br />To: <br />Matthew Bachler <br />Planning and Zoning <br />1245 West Hwy 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />651.792.7822 <br /> <br />RE: Narrative– Proposed 2016 Restroom Building Addition <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Bachler: <br />Holiday Stationstores, Inc., is seeking approval of a proposed Site Plan submittal, Planned Unit <br />Development Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow for a 15’-4” by 19’-4” <br />multi-use restroom building addition on the North end of our existing convenience store building located <br />at 1920 Hwy 96, Arden Hills, MN 55112. <br /> <br />The property, situated in the Southwest quadrant of the intersection of Highway 96 and Round Lake Road <br />is zoned Gateway Business PUD for Lot 1 Blk 1 of the Holiday Lake Addition. The parcel is surrounded <br />by the Highway 35 off-ramp to the West, Nott Company building on the South, Round Lake to the East, <br />and Highway 96 to the North. <br /> <br />Background: <br />Holiday built and has operated the existing convenience store with fuel in 2005. The standard practice at <br />that time was to build single occupancy restrooms to meet the minimum code. We have since changed our <br />practice to try and include multi-use restrooms whenever possible to provide better customer service and <br />a better experience. As a result we identify sites like the one in question for building additions to allow us <br />to enhance customer experience at existing sites by reducing lines and providing redundancy in case of <br />service issues. <br /> <br />The Project: <br />Holiday proposes to add a 15’-4” by 19’-4”, 296sf building addition off the North side of the existing <br />building but within the existing curb lines. We have adjusted the proposed building addition design and as <br />it is drawn it now approaches but does not cross the Side Yard Corner 50ft setback, the North setback off <br />Hwy 96. <br /> <br />The position of this restroom addition has been designed to have a minimal impact on the existing site <br />layout and traffic patterns while providing an effortless transition for customers to utilize the new feature. <br /> <br />Holiday is tentatively targeting 9-week construction to begin in early October or sooner depending on <br />process and permits. <br /> <br />Casey A.
