<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Pagel 5 <br /> <br />Wednesday, September 6, 1989 <br /> <br />the potential loss of parking. Dahlgren added that the easement <br />has been approved by the city. <br /> <br />Stokes stated that he is not aSking for a stoppage of flow <br />because vehicular openings could be provided. Stokes said he <br />didn't believe they would lose parking or that the easement would <br />restrict such a thing. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if a speed bump could be an alternative. <br />replied that a green strip was necessary. <br /> <br />stokes <br /> <br />Crowe stated that there has been no accident history or injury on <br />the site and that a green strip would restrict the free access <br />which is required in the easement for pedestrian and vehicles. <br />Crowe stated that they have worked diligently to meet city <br />concerns and appearance of the building. Crowe added that <br />Rainbow has made a business decision to maintain their presence <br />on the site but they are reaching the point where the additional <br />costs are becoming critical. Crowe asked that the Commission <br />approve the current proposal and give consideration to the <br />expenditures which they have made in other areas. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if the green strip issue could be reviewed by <br />staff and addressed by the Council to move this matter along. <br />stokes stated that was OK with him but the curb strip needs to be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />Delbert Leaf, 1776 Dunlap, questioned the design of the retaining <br />wall and changes on the north property line and that he would <br />like additional trees on the northeast corner and fence repair. <br />Lief stated concern about loading dock and noise. Leaf stated <br />the vision of the building wasn't the big issue. <br /> <br />Johnson questioned the hours of loading. Amdahl stated that they <br />would be between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and explained that the <br />proposed loading docks would be booted so loading occurs within <br />the building and there would be less exterior noise than the <br />current loading docks. <br /> <br />Mrs. Leaf, 1776 Dunlap, questioned the proposed retaining wall <br />cutting further into the hill. Mrs. Leaf pointed out that the <br />back of the building is actually the front yard of the apartment. <br />Leaf also expressed concern that the driveway onto Fernwood is <br />steep and that accidents have occurred there. Amdahl replied <br />that the retaining wall is the same as the city has put in along <br />Fernwood and would only cut a couple of feet further into the <br />hill. Amdahl stated that they could look at modifying the <br />approach. Keel pointed out that the City's improvements on <br />
