ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - MARCH 2, 2005 6 Commissioner Larson moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to recommend denial of Planning Case No. 05-09: David Radziej and Roger Sabot, 4365 and 4367 Lexington Avenue; Driveway Variances, reasons for denial: I. The lack of detail plans and the engineering necessary to show exactly what the dynamics of the access are going to be. The owners have the opportunity to work this out between the City and the County Engineers and come up with a better engineercd plan than submitted. 2. The shared access was a condition of approval for the original development of the site and other conditions of approval, which was the turnaround was not met, so therefore, the Commission did not know how the site functions if that condition was in place. 3. multiple accesses to the property and the proximity to the Victoria and Amble intersection would be more confusing and dangerous to traffic on Lexington A venue and to the occupants. . Commissioner Larson believed the applicants did have access problems and he could look much more favorably on this if there were detailed engineering plans. Commissioner Thompson agreed. Commissioner Zimmerman understood applicant's thoughts wanting two additional driveways, but he did not see how the logistics would work. Chair Sand stated he believed it was not the applicant's fault that the turnaround was not put in, but this should have been taken care of at thc time the building permit was issued. He shared the other Commissioner's concerns and indicated he might be more amenable . going along with this proposal with detailed Engineering's plans. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). Roger Sabot stated they were not informed by the County that they needed a detailed drawing; that they only needed a sketch, which is what they presented. B.
