Presentation Mr, John Bureau indicated that he owns approximately 5 acres between the Midwest Savings and Loan and the Red Lobster properties, He desires to divide the property and use a portion of the property on the east side for the development of a Poppin Fresh Restauranto He stated that he has no prospective buyers for the remaining portion of the property, He also in- dicated that the development will meet all the codes of the City of Roseville, Discussion Mr, Grauel indicated that the City has worked very hard to aSSULe that quality development occurs in the area west of Fairview where the restaurant is proposed. He stated that he had been hopeful a different type of development, than what is proposed, would be constructed in that area, Mro Dahlgren stated that the decision the Commission is making tonight is whether we will have a strip of restaurants on Highway 36 or some other type of development. He stated that if the division is approved ~ there is a strong possibility the -;:,'emainlng property be~ tween the Red Lobster Restaurant and the proposed Poppin Fresh would be developed for pro~ bably three restaurants which would make a strip of restaurants along Highway 36 with all the parking to the rear. He corronented that if restaurants were to be the use of the land that he would favor a clustering of th~ restaurants in the middle of the property with the park- ing around the restaurants rather than the strip effect, Mro G. Johnson stated that the Red Lobster is a fine restaurant but that theparking and the traffic pattern is bad. He felt that the proposed development would generate the same type of problems. Mr. Rukavina indicated the City had an opportunity to get away from the typical strip devel- opment for the restaurants and try a new approach. Mr. Grauel stated that this was an extremely valuable piece of property and he felt that the development on it should be of a high calibre. Mr, V. Johnson indicated there must be a better plarming alt:ernative for the development of this land than the one proposed. Recommendation Mr. V. Johnson moved and Mr. Rukavina seconded, that the Connnission recommend denial of Bureau Investment Corporation request for division of lot and special use permit at 1885 TH 36.
