Thomas Paschke noted that the buffer area may be <br />improved in this area based on the final site plan for the store. <br /> <br />Member Cunningham asked for details on storm water run-off and ponding size <br />and what could be included in the recommendation to the City Council. Does the <br />entire parking lot need to be re-graded to the low areas. <br /> <br />Member Olson asked for clarification of business curfew hours. (See Section 403 <br />to 405 of the City Code.) <br /> <br />Motion: Member Wilke moved, seconded by Member Klausing, to recommend <br />approval of the request for vacation of certain utility and drainage easements <br />located on the southeast side of the former Homeplace facility and acceptance of a <br />replacement utility easement, based on the findings in Section 3.1 of the Request <br />for Planning Commission Action dated March 10, 1999. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Rhody asked that the Commission send a recommendation to curtail <br />hours of truck delivery; and that the Har Mar Mall not be allowed to exit to <br />existing east, west, south side residential streets. <br /> <br />Member Klausing explained reasons for supporting the issue. <br /> <br />Member Cunningham explained his concerns regarding the vacation of the <br />easement as a "lynch pin" to allow the Cub development to proceed. He stated he <br />will no support the project because of loose ends in the project proposals; <br />screening and lighting are important. <br /> <br />Ayes: Mulder, Olson, Wilke, Klausing, Rhody <br />Nays: Cunningham <br />Motion Carried 5-1 <br /> <br />Member Mulder agreed to Acting Chair Rhody annotation regarding opposition to <br />the proposal's traffic on residential streets. Member Mulder was opposed to the <br />hours of operation (Curfew) annotation. Member Klausing also could not support <br />a curfew. The projects is too hypothetical at this time. <br /> <br />Member Wilke and Member Mulder agreed that the Planning Commission send a <br />recommendation of concern regarding traffic in residential areas as being <br />consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br />Member Olson noted that the drainage further north on the site should be <br />improved as part of the proposal. Acting Chair Rhody noted that the Planning <br />Commission may be reaching beyond its ability to review. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 12 <br />
