. Arden Hills Council 4 July 13, 1992 CA~~_92-06 - AMEND SUP - AMOCO OIL City Planner Bergly gave the following background with regard to a request for a car wash at Amoco Oil, 1306 West County Road E: . The Planning Commission, at their June 1992 meeting, reviewed the request but had several concerns and recommended denial. Following that meeting, the applicant and staff worked out a different layout for the car wash which meets all ordinance requirements without the need for a variance. The revised plan calls for the car wash to be detached and handled as an accessory building. The station has about 20 parking stalls on the site, and is required by code to have 16 stalls. However, because the station has had the need for more parking, a long-term parking agreement with the adjacent restaurant exists. Planning Commission reviewed the revised plan on July I, 1992 and recommended approval of the amended special use permit with 11 conditions, and subject to the applicant submitting the parking lease and title of the property for review by the City Attorney. Councilmember Malone asked if concerns regarding stacking of vehicles entering the car wash have been addressed. Bergly said that stacking of vehicles using the revised plan does not appear to be a potential problem, that during peak car wash use, vehicles can be stacked on site without interfering with traffic on County Road E. Bergly added that the revised plan exits car wash vehicles quite a distance from County Road E, which should eliminate potential icing of County Road E during cold weather. Councilmember Malone noted that the parking agreement between Amoco and the adjacent restaurant runs month to month and only until July 1994. Attorney Filla recommended that condition 6 of Planning Commission's approval, (addressing the parking agreement), read as follows: . "That the parking agreement between the restaurant and Amoco be filed with the SUP as this parking is necessary to meet the parking requirements of the station. The parking agreement shall provide 20 additional spaces. In the event that lease terminates, the SUP shall be reviewed and the City may impose additional restrictions necessitated by loss of parking spaces, including, but not limited to, the reduction in the intensity of the use."
