Planning Commission Minutes May 8, 1996 Bruce Kath, the applicant, provided background on the operations on the site. He stated that 7 underground tanks would be removed, and 3 new, double-walled cathodic-treated tanks will be installed. There will be 8 tanks, a touchless car wash, a convenience store. There will not be a restaurant, no alcohol, nor video games, no oil changes, no motor repair, and no tire sales. There also will be no outside speakers. There will be 3 employees at the site at all times. There will be no loitering allowed. Mr. Kath stated that, since 1975,22 service gasoline stations have closed in and around Roseville. Tim Nelson of Everest Development, representing the developer, explained the intent of the new site plans. Chairman Wietecki asked for details regarding the canopy and the support mechanisms for the canopy. Mr. Nelson explained the canopy will be steel. All of the open space will be irrigated. Member Harms asked for further details regarding the placement of a 6 foot high fence at the east side of the car wash driveways. Member Cunningham stated that the open green space would not be open if completely fenced. Member Wietecki asked for details regarding LP tanks. Mr. Kath responded there will be no tanks at this time, and if tanks are available, they simply would be stored and sold not filled. Member Wilke asked for details regarding the driveways on Lexington Avenue. Glen Van Warmer responded that most of the traffic will use the south driveway. Jay Kennedy noted that the estimated traffic volume on Lexington Avenue was 15,500 vehicles and that the estimated increase by the year 2010 would be to 16,800 vehicles. The traffic volume on Roselawn is estimated at 2600 vehicles per day and is predicted to remain the same or near same by the year 2010. There appears to be no other major land use changes in the area that would increase or decrease traffic volumes. Harold Robinson, 975 Roselawn, asked for clarification regarding traffic projections. Ann Hanson, 1175 Autumn, asked ifthere were plans for a fast-food operation on the comer. Mr. Kath responded there are no plans at the moment, but interest has been shown by the franchises. Ann Hanson asked if restrictions could be placed on the site to ban a liquor store, and to designate hours of operation. Chairman Wietecki explained this could be done. Christine Thompson, 1150 Autumn, asked if the car wash would be free (No). She also asked for the traffic counts on Lexington in 1995 (14,800 north of Roselawn; 14, 700 south of Roselawn with an expectation of 16,000 by the year 2010). Dick Hauck, 1133 Roselawn, asked if the Commission had received his letter of support (Yes). He asked the Commission to consider the difference between the existing station traffic (estimate 300 trips per day) versus the new station (with an estimated 1,200 trips per day). Joan Fischer, 1899 North Oxford, asked if the project was rezoned but not completed, would the conditions be retained. (The conditions would be placed on the property, not on the proposed development.)
