Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 1, 2015 Page 4 and also the location of the garage doors in the SW corner that may interfere with internal 149 traffic flow and use of the garage doors. Member Bull questioned if that had entered into 150 staff’s analysis. 151 Mr. Paschke responded that staff did not find it a negative situation for vehicles to circle 152 the building, as the site itself was designed to operate and flow consistently with how 153 vehicles would typically move through this particular site and work with the site 154 immediately to the north. Mr. Paschke clarified that the use itself would be utilizing those 155 garage doors, and vehicles would not be parked there all day long, only perhaps for a few 156 minutes before being pulled inside the building. While some control would obviously be 157 required, Mr. Paschke noted that that main business, window tinting for vehicles, 158 buildings and other applications, should not conflict with the anticipated peak times for a 159 drive-through use; and would need to be resolved by the building tenants and owner; 160 which was clearly understood by the owner and self-imposed on them in requesting this 161 drive-through lane. Mr. Paschke further clarified that there was not a zoning issue that 162 was proving problematic, and the owner was well aware of site issues moving forward. 163 At the request of Member Bull, Mr. Paschke suggested typical peak hours for drive- 164 throughs for such a proposed use as anticipated would need to be addressed by the 165 building owner and tenants. Mr. Paschke noted he was aware of the concerns expressed 166 by Chair Boguszewski in not knowing a definite tenant at this time; but was also 167 cognizant of the applicant’s desire to have this drive-through available to market and 168 attract other potential tenants to the site. 169 Member Cunningham asked staff to provide examples of potential uses that would 170 involve a lower-impact drive-through versus one identified as high-impact. 171 Mr. Paschke responded that a McDonald’s type use, requiring more square footage, 172 would be one example of a high-impact use versus a no-name coffee shop. Mr. Paschke 173 advised that this would be part of staff’s analysis in the future as a proposed use came 174 forward. 175 Member Daire sought clarification, confirmed by Mr. Paschke, that the proposed floor 176 plan provided for Sun Control occupying Units Suites 100, 300 and 400, along with the 177 bays in back, with only one production area potentially leasable. Member Daire 178 questioned if it was conceivable based on discussions to date, for the potential 179 combination of Suites 300 and 400 for potential use that could also avail itself of the 180 drive-through. 181 Mr. Paschke responded affirmatively, theoretically, depending on the particular use and 182 conditions applied to that use. Mr. Paschke advised that a proposed use may not be 183 supported by staff, as indicated in discussions previously. 184 At the request of Member Daire, Mr. Paschke confirmed that Sun Control would need to 185 seek approval by City staff for any tenants intended to locate in this multi-tenant facility. 186 At the request of Member Daire, Mr. Paschke clarified that most multi-tenant buildings 187 were required to seek approval for uses, and whether permitted or not permitted, or 188 permitted with a Conditional use permit, as established by City Code. 189 Applicant Representative Todd Jensen, 2604 Rice Street 190 Mr. Jensen advised that he was the co-owner of Sun Control, which his father had owned 191 for over 35 years, having leased several other spaces in Roseville, most currently at 2604 192 Rice Street. 193 Dave Rustad, 329 S Owasso Blvd. 194 Mr. Rustad advised that he was the current building owner at 2425 Rice Street, and Mr. 195 Jensen and his partner Josh, intended to purchase the building from him and give it a 196 facelift, with the intent that good tenants would bring life back into the building and area, 197 providing positive impacts for Rice Street. 198 Specific to the drive-through, Mr. Jensen advised that they envisioned a small, family-run 199 business (e.g. small sandwich deli or coffee shop), and their reason for seeking this 200
