i • '• • • U � February 9, 198� T0: Jim Andre FROM: SUBJECT: Howard Dahlgren Planning Office Hours for January 25, February 1, and February 8 1) Johnson -�84-5472. Don Johnson is a contractor pxoposing to build an addition on the west sid;,� of the Kline-Volvo building on the •.aest side o£ Long Lake Road. Examination oF �he site and b�ai�ding conditions indicate that an addition could be put on the west side of the building, which would not adversely affect the parking or circulation �.r.rangen�ent. We advised against building a separate 20' x 20' wooden garage. The purpose af the building is to store snow removal equipment and old engines. 2) Brodie - 4�88-6788. Norman Brodie, attorney, was in to discuss the possibility of the construction of a 40,G00 sq, ft. retail facility on the Last Frontier site. We examined a prelimiriary plan that had been prepared whicli suggested the land ��rea is not adequate to constru.ct a 40,000 sq, ft. retail facility on one level due to a lack of adeauate parkiiig. Mr. Brodie's drawing indicated 143 spaces, whereas 200 are required. Land must also be made available to accommodate a revised alignment of the service road for Snellir�g Avenue. I�any people have expressed interest in this very fine site; but for this purpose, it is simply not adequate. 3) Kehr - 484-5083. Mr. Kehr was in an January 25 and February 8, preceding and following the Pl�.nning Commission hearing. 6Ve informed A4r. Kehr ttiat it appears there are three principal areas of concern: First, tiie lack of support and positive decisi.ori on the part of the three land awners to the east which llas resultPd in the petition in favor of the future easemsnts not having been completed. It is essential these land owners be in support, and pxeferably in ��riting. The second area, is the handling of tlle turnaround for the cul-de-sac. � drawing should be produced wliich indicates the px•oposed solution, and this should be reviewed with tlle Fire Chief. Thirdly, he sliould meet with tlle landowner to the west, vahich indicated opposition to his prc�posal. Access to his private street proposal could be provided to tlie south part of tliat land, thereby offering a. possibility for a solution. 4) Smitli - 339-5508, Larry Smith cvas in to discuss passible alteratians to the site plan for the developmer�t of the Housing Alliance's proposal f�r senior citizen's housing on tlle south side of County Road B, easterly �f Dale Street. tVe suggested tliat a two-story building above a basement parking garage, with the dormer units above that (within Code heiglit requirements) be built aloiig the sast side of the property, and tliat a higher strticture be built �ontiguous to County Road B and westerly of the lower structure. This would allaia for the developmen4 of the units nearest t}�e single-family homes to be in conformance
