City of Roseville Planning Commission Minutes <br />Wednesday, June 8, 1994 <br />MINUTES <br />Chairman Wietecki asked for comments from the public. There were none. Chairman <br />Wietecki closed the hearing. <br />Chairman Wietecki stated that 33 parking spaces required indicates that there is little <br />traffic from the use. A general discussion of the traffic flow in the front driveway ensued. <br /> Chairman Wietecki asked what the minimum width of a two-way driveway should be. <br />Lon Aune responded that a minimum is 20 feet; whereas, the driveway proposed is 12 feet <br />wide. <br />Member Roberts stated he is concerned with the traffic flow and the pedestrian safety in <br />the same area. He also expressed concern with the extended face of the building not being <br />consistent with other buildings on the street. <br />Motion: <br /> Member Roberts moved to recommend denial of the variance for the front of the <br />building and the driveway. The motion died for lack of a second. <br />Member Thomas expressed concern with the highway engineer's opinion regarding the <br />turning lane and the driveway. Chairman Wietecki stated that a better solution would be <br />to reverse the traffic flow to the west from west to east. Member Wall stated that the <br />First Bank use could be discontinued and that then the turning lane issue could be <br />reconfigured. He stated he was in favor of granting the variances for the front canopy and <br />the improvements. Member Harms asked for further details for what the configuration <br />could be in the future. Member Sandstrom asked if the traffic lanes could be widened on <br />the driveway near Albert Street to allow for additional space.
