PLANNING REPORT DATE: 3 October 1984 CASE NUMBER: 1544-84 APPLICANT: Twin City Federal LOCATION: Northwest Corner of County Road B and Lexington Avenue ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Special Use Permit for Drive -Through Facility Variance to Parking Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Twin City Federal first moved to Roseville in the HarMar Mall in 1962 which was one of their first branch several office years expansion sub equentfac��eyiehad n the been Metropolitan suburbs. or considering a drive -through facility at the northeast corner of the HarMar Mall properties. However, subsequent changes in Penney's TBA development, and other factors resulted in this proposal never being formally processed by the Planing Commission and Council. They now p., pose to utilize the former Burger Chef site which has been vacant sine. February 1983. The staff has met numerous times with representatives of Twin City Federal and theirconsulttants. These folks have been very cooperative in pursuing our common objective to redevelop this site in a useful and attractive way. 2. Attached is a statement from Twin City Federal which quite adequately describes the proposal as well as reduced cop es of their proposed site plan, delineation of the proposed covered drive -through area and existing structure. Although the site is not ideally suited for the development, we feel that the design and proposal at this time will work well Adjustments and to substantially improve the appearance and use of the site. the design of the drive -through alllbeen, the made csooas, and not toerequiregof any the signs on the property variances to these facilities' locations and design. 3. Variances had been approved at the time of the Burger Chef facility which included an eight foot setback to the parking along Lexington Avenue near the southeast corner (in front of the building) Avenue, and near ntheapproximate northeast10foot orner setback for the parking along Lexington of the site. This parking area has curb in place and the applicants propose to leave it as currently constructed. This diminished parking setback is the result in part from additional dedication for Lexington Avenue, which narrowed the site in the'past. Across the street is the old Knowlan supermarket which is currently under consideration for redevelopment by new owners. Thus, it would appear that the retention of these variances proposed at this time would not be serious consideration. There exists a bike path on the public right-of-way on this side of the property.
