(715/386-8303) Ron Keller, Keller Construction Mr. Anderson and Mr. Keller are working with Ted Brausen, who owns the Amoco station at the NE corner of County Road B and Dale Street. Mr. Brausen wants to expand and remodel the service station to include a car wash, more service bays, a canopy over the gas pumps, and renovation of the commercial building (currently Carbone's Pizza and a sporting goods store) that shares the site with the Amoco station. They had submitted plans for the renovation that kept most of the paving on site to provide the needed parking, including encroachment on the public rights-of- way, but the plans still did not provide enough parking and fell short of the design standards in a number of other ways. We discussed the following issues: 1) Overall parking was shown at 29 s�aces, but 31 are needed according to Code. This is symptomatic o� the overall site plan, which simply has too much development for the site. 2) Parking at the gas pumps was not incl��led in the parking count, even though many of �hose cars would be for the custAmers using the new convenience sto:c•e and deli in the station. We will discuss this and research other cities, and get back to Mr. Anderson on whether these can be used in the count. 3; The canopy over the existing gas pumps will need a variance, since it encroaches on the front setback, but this is reasonable and has been granted in similar situations in the past. 4) Additional right-of-way will be needed on Dale Street, putting some of the exis�ing pavir.g within the right-of-way and placing the existing pump is]and5 within 8-1/2' of the rig�t-of-way. W� can accept that :�ituation for now, wi.�h the understanding that in the future, �t Dale is widened, the station may have to give up the outermost aisle of pump access.
