� � � June 13, 1984 T0: Jim Andre PROM: SUBJECT: Howard Dahlgren Planning Offi_ce Hours 5/23/84 - 6/15/84 1) �Vilmus. Jo}in LVilmus (Tom Wilmus' son) Marhula, Don Ringrose, and Christine Allen (the latter two from BRjV) were in to discuss their proposed solution to redesign the easterly entra�ice to Tom tNilmus° new office building west of Hamline, south of Centennial Drive. You will recall this building is set back 20 feet rather than the rec�uired 30 feet due to an error in surveying when the foundation was laid. T}iey propose to run a two flight set of stairs straiglit easterly from t}ie entrance at the second level. This requires a portion of. the bottom stairway to be in tlle public right-of-way. It would also renuire moving the sidewalk further into the public rigllt-of-way (west side of Hamline). We suggested tliat this would encourage people to stop tlieir cars on Hamline and enter the building from this side, and that tlie previous design which orientated this entrance to tlie soutll (toward tlleir driveway) worked better. Even tliougli tlie county lias apparently indicated tliat extending the walk 5 feet into tlie rigllt-of-way may not impede any future construction or upgrading of Hamline Avenue, we feel ttiat liaving it this way is wrong in principle, and will promote use of Hamline Avenue as a drop off point. jJe llave since received a letter from BRW indicating that they propose to pursue the riglit-of-way encroacliment solution. An application for a variance to correct the 10 foot discrepancy will be pending. 2) fdelson - 944-8090. B. Nelson is a director of construction for ��Jendy's hamburger stores, one of wllic}i is, as you kncw, in Roseville at 1899 'Vest Primeter Drive. T11ey are requesting to place a 10 foot by 7 foot by 5 foot temporary ►,�ooden storage Uuilding on the back of tl�eir Uuildi�lg. Tliis �vould be used to store tlieir paper products until tlley are aUle to expand tlie building permaneiitly �vitliin this next year. We toTd them if this temporary structure ►vere combined l�rith a wooden fence 7 foot 6 foot high of the same material attached to the back of tlie buildi�lg, t}1at this would be acceptable as a temporary measure. T1iis store, by tlie way tlieyinform us, started out with four products anticipating $12,OOO.UO a week, and is now doing $20,000.00 a week. It is one of t}ieir better stores. 3) Jones - 378-2430. A1 Hoffineyer �aas in to review the revised plans for Jones development of tlie sixteen unit PUD west of Lexington, soutli of tlie mobile home court. tiVe brought in Bruce Ryden so that we could agree on an appropriate interim a�lci permanent solution for fire truc}; turnaround facilities. Acljustments were made in building location so as to allow for atemporary construction of a private road bend on a public street, and ultimate construction for tlie public cul-de-sac. It appears tl�is solution will work well, with tlie only real question being tliat of the economics of street construction (private vs, public). Unfortunately, the owner
