I, I- I I I I I I I I. I I I I I I I I- I ARDEN RTT.T ,'I CITY COUNCIL - JUNE 13, 1994 4 Wmkel answered that the drainage easement is in the back of those lots. The drainage flows north and west to Snelling Avenue. Hicks asked who is responsible and what is required for maintenance of the drainage ditch. He expressed concern about taking on additional responsibility for drainage maintenance when it is not known what development will occur on the other lots. He asked if the drainage will be open water or a sodded swale. Winkel stated that it is the City's responsibility and noted that the ditch needs to be cleaned, which will be done. The ditch is 8 to 10 feet deep in places. It is not full of water, but the ditch is deep. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded approval of the McClung 4th Addition, Case No. 94-04, preliminary plat as presented. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). AMOCO CERTICARE - SUP/AMOCO CONVENIENCE STORE AMENDED SUP Fritsinger stated that two applications for development have been received from AMOCO. The first is in regard to the relationship to the conversion of the existing Great Lakes Restaurant into an 8-bay AMOCO Certicare service center. At the present time, the service station has two bays within it and a small area for a convenience store. The applicant is proposing to convert two bays within the existing service station into a convenience store and convert the restaurant into an 8-bay AMOCO Certicare. Under the zoning ordinance, the service station requires a special use permit (SUP), and an amended SUP must be approved for the proposed conversion. The existing service station is owned by American Oil Company and leased to the applicant. Mr. Brausen will own the new station, not AMOCO. The building is a non-conforming building due to a variance granted a number of years ago. The proposal does not change the foot print of the lot, as the same building will be used. All Code requirements for parking are met. Refuse will be located to the east of the proposed station with new enclosures for all trash and tires. The existing curb line, which will be straightened, follows shrubs along the south property line. A new landscaped island is proposed. The island will provide screening from the adjacent clinic with 6- foot spruce trees and a berm area to reduce visibility of the station. The berm would partially be on the neighboring clinic property. The Clinic has indicated that this proposal will be agreeable and with their neighboring green space, the plan conforms to the 25 percent requirement for landscaping. Fritsinger stated that there are two different ways to access the site. One is off County Road E on the west side of the site and off of County Road E on the clinic
