ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Paget 3 Wednesday, June 6, 1990 Nayes: None Plannina File 2059 Super America Group, Inc. request for approval of Special Use Permit for exterior display of merchandise at 2785 Hamline Avenue North. Presentation Shardlow summarized the proposal and pointed out that pedestrian circulation is the only problem that he saw. Shardlow indicated that alternatives would be to extend the sidewalk in the front of the building or to require that permanent signs be placed in front of the curb to maintain space for pedestrians. Bud Kaup stated that they could limit the displays to the width of one case of product. Kaup added that they would have to study the impact of extending the sidewalk on traffic circulation. Kaup said that if there was sufficient room, they would be glad to extend the sidewalk. DeBenedet testified that the sidewalk in the front of the building doesn't serve a pedestrian function because people go directly to their cars at the pump to the door. DeBenedet stated that the sidewalk was important for handicap accessibility and that there must be sufficient space to get from the handicap space to the door. Johnson said that there are some cases where the sidewalk will be used because there is parking on the sides of the building. Stokes stated that people parking on the north and south sides of the building may want to use the sidewalk. Stokes added that there should be at least 2-1/2 foot clearance on the sidewalk which would be consistent with the requirements for other stations. Stokes questioned what the minimum width necessary to get a wheelchair by a display. DeBenedet answered that 3 feet is the minimum for wheelchair access. Berry stated that the handicap ramp is around back on the south side and there is no way handicap persons can use it. Goedeke questioned if the station was scheduled for any upgrading. Kaup responded no. Johnson closed the public hearing.
