Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 7, 2018 Page 6 Diana Dunn, 1971 Simpson Street, Roseville Ms. Dunn noted she shops HarMar daily and walks the perimeter of the area all the time. She sees a huge problem with the proposed location for Chick-Fil-A. There will be walkers getting hurt, based upon the location for access in and out. She also wants to point out that because she lives there and is in that area daily, the traffic flow might seem different for people who do not live in the area. What happens is there is traffic coming down Snelling from the southern area, and peo- ple phasing over. She described the movement of lane changes in that whole area. She noted the City has a responsibility to protect citizens who live here to ensure there is as much safety as possible. She noted that there are regular times of heav- ier traffic, such as the State Fair. Laliberte moved adoption of the resolution (Attachment E) entitled, "a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Pursuant to §1009.02.0 and §1009.02.D. of the City Code for Chick-Fil-A at the HarMar Mall (PF 18-005). Mayor Roe declared the motion failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Willmus stated he has questions for the applicant or mall man- agement. Jeff Agnes, A Architects,representing the mall owner tonight, introduced him- self. Councilmember Willmus asked how many patrons can be seated in the restaurant. Timothy Thoreen, of HR Green, indicated he does not have specific numbers of patrons who may be seated at any one time. Councilmember Laliberte noted Attachment D indicates seating for 127. Councilmember Willmus asked about a formal parking agreement that is recorded on the title. Mr. Agnes responded there is no formal parking agreements for shared parking, though it is definitely a shared parking situation. No parking stalls have been specified except for employees. Councilmember Etten commented that for this crossing at Old Chicago, the side- walk entrance is not ADA compliant, and it is not wide enough for handicap ac- cess. Before he would describe that as a solution to a traffic problem, there should be a different condition to widen that space and make it safe and ADA compliant.
