Welsh Companies, Case No. 1922 , Page
<br />in the attached letter dated March 22, 1,99,0 from the Welsh Companies
<br />a,ddresseld to Rick Joipke. Staff comments regarding these changes are
<br />as follows:
<br />Condition #4
<br />req�uired that
<br />American Street originally established
<br />as a, public
<br />right-of-way
<br />was to be via,ca,ted,, bu�t one of the
<br />owners of the
<br />contiguous propeirties affected desiries not to vacate
<br />I
<br />the s,trieet.
<br />Und�er these
<br />it is very difficuit to
<br />circurnstances, I
<br />a,ccomplish the vaicaition�a
<br />Thus,, it would appear that the
<br />appropriate solution would
<br />be one of amending that condition
<br />allowing the
<br />public str,elet
<br />to rernain. The s�etback originally
<br />approved would
<br />rema,in the
<br />same., The, ramp wo�ul,d be, constructed
<br />on the same fine wheire
<br />a .
<br />the su�rface parking was oir,iginally
<br />estMblished.
<br />The existing
<br />landscaping on the north side of this
<br />roadway, wiill
<br />remai,n north
<br />of the pubilic righ�t-lof-wa,y and
<br />contiguous, to
<br />the new ram�p.,
<br />Welsh Companies recently met with the neig�hbior,s, recently at
<br />which time jopke
<br />was ed
<br />also presen�t., Welsh Compainies agre
<br />to build a 10-foot hig�h
<br />scrlid wooden fence along the north
<br />property, line so as, to,
<br />scrieen the contiguous single-family lots and
<br />the old European Spa,
<br />property to the north.. Thisi fence i,s to
<br />extend easterly to the
<br />old Snelling Avenue righ�t-olf-w,ay. Part of
<br />the pu�rpose of this fence,
<br />is to screen the snow removal and
<br />loading' activities that
<br />will occur at, the nort,hwest, corner of the
<br />discount grocery store
<br />site (Rainbow Foods,). This fence is also
<br />intended to, screen the
<br />loading area that is set oiu�t at, an angle in
<br />the, back of the major
<br />tenant, space slightly to the west (at the
<br />lower l,evel)l.,
<br />this design
<br />c) Condition #13 states at, materials of
<br />the ramp be
<br />consistent
<br />with the exterior m,ateri,a,ls of the main building, that further
<br />study be completed regarding the feasiblifity o�f enclosing
<br />the lower
<br />portion of' the north side of the rarnp, and reviewing
<br />the most
<br />reasonab le wall height on the upper level,
<br />of the ramp
<br />to screen
<br />adjacent residences." As noted in Mr.
<br />Dunn's, letter
<br />(I t e m 3),
<br />they propose to, leave the north side of
<br />the ramp at
<br />the lower
<br />level open primarily for security reasions,.i
<br />They note
<br />that they
<br />ha,ve met with the Chief of Police and he
<br />recommends
<br />this design
<br />to be the best for security purposes.
