-3- 13. Hardee's/Mr. Steak. Ed Gorman and Frank Dahl (representing Hardee's) and Ron Larson representing Mr. Steak, were in with Brad Lundberg from Bonestroo and Rosene Associates to review a proposed revision to their site plan, adding a driveup window for the Hardee's Restaurant. We suggested a slight change in the alignment of the driveup lane to eliminate a tight corner, and make provisions for a landscape area contiguous to the driveup lane. 99ze arrangement seems to work well, with the loss of 3 parking spaces. We feel, however, that the driveway facility will more than compensate for the loss of the spaces, inasmuch as a dozen cars can stack up in the driveup facility. They also agreed to add boulevard -sees (not in the boulevard) on the frontage similar to that which is being done to the newer restaurants in the area. They will revise their plans accordingly, including specific provisions for revisions to the drainage plan. If done as proposed, we feel that this adjustment in the layout will be a workable solution. 14. Glendenning. David Kirsch, landscape architect, was in again with a represent- ative of the Glendenning/Minnesota Wisconsin. Trucking Company regarding expansion of their site south of Oasis Park. They have revised their plans to provide for additional landscaping as we recommended the last time we met, and now propose. to dedicate the 100 feet of shoreline as we previously discussed. They have met with the Board of Directors of the Fairview Heights Association, and report that the Association is pleased with the development proposal. They indicated Les Judkins, President of the Association, and three of the board members were present at the meeting which occurred on October 23. They had submitted a letter indicating a possible application for reduction in the 150 foot setback to parking requirement, and that they would consider dedicating the 100 foot setback area around the Lakeshore. We gave the letter back to them and requested that they submit a new letter specifically requesting the variance from 150 feet to 100 feet, and -that the letter specifically commit to dedicating the 100 foot area within a specific time. They agreed to do this. As now proposed, the development includes all the suggestions we had regarding the handling of the landscaping, the berming, and the retention of existing trees. We feel that if the development is done as proposed, that this will successfully make the transition from the neighborhood, Oasis Park, to the truck terminal development. It is also agreed in the plans that that portion of the truck terminal space to be expanded will be done with asphalt and con- crete curbs as required by ordinance. In summary, we feel that the sl-nreline development proposal as now submitted is a reasonable solution. We suggest that the variance to the 150 foot parking setback requirement is reasonable, on the condition that the 100 foot of land area is dedicated, as was done in the case of Langdon Lake by Hyman Motor Freight people several years ago.
