�i L.J � Planning Office Hours Rugust 6, 1986 Page 2 3. Kath, 484-7905 Harry Kath was in with Pat Henry, of Prestige Pools, to review a proposed site plan for his residence at 3079 Sandy Hook Drive on Lake Owasso. This house was built in 1965, previous to the approval of the plat to the north done by Dean Anklin. He proposes to add a swimming pool to the site. We reviewed the requirements and procedure� for processing this proposal under the shoreline zoning ord:.nance. We also discussed his properties approved by the Council for an off-sale liquor store which was never constructed. He notes that he bought that contract back because the proposed developer (John Gr�.ham) moved on to California and decided not to proceed. Harry notes his intention is to hold the property for awhile, awaitin� other proposals. 4. Pope, 291-8894 Bob Pope was in to discuss and review preliminary plans f4r the Price Savers Wholesale Club proposed for the St. Paul and Suburban I3us Company site. We noted Leonard Vannesse's proposal to sell the Twin City Freight Lines property west of 35W to Price Savers for a Roseville location. Zt appears Price Savers is pursuing two sites at once. Regarding location, Bob Pope noted that Daug Hanson, Vice � President of Rea1 Estate for Price Savers, �old him that Price Savers didn't want to be within five miles of Costco. The question �eing, do these two similar type retailer� want to be close by? With:.'tn the industry, that has not been the pattern in a relatively short historical past. We suggested they do nothing until a deci�ion is made on Costco, after which Price Savers may elect to relocate to a more distant location. � 5. Vannesse, 631-1711 Leonard Vannesse was in with �7ohn Lamb, realtor, Hanson from Price Savers. We reviewed a set of plans for the location of Price Savers on the TCF Hanson was noncommittal regarding his desire to second wholesale club site. and Doug prel3minary site. Mr. be near a We reviewed with Charlie Honchell, Dave Janisch, and Craig Waldron, a set of preliminary plans submitted by Mr. Vannesse. The inadequacies were many, including drainage problems, grading problems, driveway location prohlems, �oncompliance with the three gercent landscaping requirement in the parking area, retention of a billboard on the site, elevations oE the structure, and severe circula�ion problems in asmuch as the receiving docks are located on the front of the building (toward Long Lake Road), and the major entrances toward the east. Charlie noted the drainage concerns and requirements. Our contacts with TCF in the past indicated they intended to stay, inasmuch as this is one of the newer and better terminals. Apparentl�r they now propose to move out as soon as passible, which creates a probJ.em of immedi�ate appropriate use for the land, if possible.
