CASE NUMBER: 1485-84 APPLICANT: discus of Roseville Page 2 site could be developed for office purposes which is the principal permitted use in the B-1 District. The problem with this in terms of traffic is that the analysis will show that the impact on the traffic condition during peak hours will be greater with the land developed as offices than it will be for a restaurant. If one is concerned about access and egress to the neighborhood under the most difficult traffic conditions, this is a very pertinent point. 4. The traffic consultants have suggested that the intersection could be considerably improved by changing the alignment of the service road at the entrance to Snelling Avenue so as to create a larger turning radius. This proposal is indicated on Figure 6 of the consultant's traffic report. The applicants have indicated to the staff that they propose to dadicate the necessary right -of -gray to accomplish this geometric change, and propose to pay for the reconstruction of the service road to effectuate this improvement.. This may be accomplished by the applicants petitioning the City to construction the improvement from the Snelling Avenue intersection to Oakcre,st Avenue and heaving it assessed against their properties. �►. Some of the ne:i-,'%bors have: also indicated their concern about their being a restaurant that serves liquor contiguous to than public park north of the restaurant site. Some of those neighbors have filed a petition with the City Council requesting that an ordinance «a adopted restricting the location of liquor licenses relevant to parks, schools, and churches. We! City Council, has rerforrod this question for advice to the Planning, Coc=ission, thus adding this item to the 2 May agenda. The staff is collecting additional information which will be presented at tho Planning Coc=iasion meeting. We are also conducting a survey of first ring suburba in the Twin Cities so that members of the Planning Cocmission and Council will be aware of how similar policy considerations have been handled in these communities. 6. In the event location controls are adopted by the City, relating to liquor licensere, we suggest that that should not be Implemented by the toning pattern, but rather by implementation of an amendment to the liquor ordinance, Many churches are near or contiguous to commercial roncs. Wo suggest that the location policy on liquor licenses should not thwart an otherviser reasonable land use pattern. 7. Considering the physical development of the land, it would appear that the proposed one story brick structure will be quite compatible with the residential and the limited business users in the area. In teams of arel,ie ctsral impact; it would appear that the construction of a typical three story office building, could have a deleterious effect on the contiguous environment. Though this distinction may not be major, it would appear that a one story structure would be more compatible with
