<br />2 <br /> <br />Chairman Wietecki opened the public hearing and requested Mike Falk to provide a <br />background report on the proposal. <br /> <br />Roseville Good Samaritan Center is requesting an eight foot (8') variance for a <br />parking/driveway and a seventeen foot (17') variance for the building and overhang. <br /> <br />Mike Falk summarized the proposed revisions of the plan and recommended that the front <br />yard setback variance for the new entry, canopy, and access drive be approved. Member <br />Roberts asked for a review of the positive and negatives of alternative driveway option #3. <br />Mr. Falk responded that the negatives were that a larger variance would be required, that <br />it would eliminate landscaping, and would eliminate sidewalk. The positive would be that <br />there would be no vehicular access drive to County Road B. Member Roberts indicated <br />that he was troubled by the access to County Road B and suggested that a passing lane <br />could be added on the north side of the drive east ofthe entry. <br /> <br />Chairman Wietecki questioned whether or not the driveway could be put in without a <br />variance if the building expansion was not proposed. Staff responded that a variance is <br />still required for the driveway. Chairman Wietecki also questioned the impact of the <br />proposal on existing landscaping and where storm sewage would occur. <br /> <br />Member Sandstrom questioned the turn lane impact on the variance. Staff responded that <br />the turn lane has no impact on the variance. <br /> <br />Member Harms questioned the sign location. Staff reviewed the proposed sign location. <br /> <br />Member Thomas stated that the reason for the proposal is for bus use and that there was a <br />slim probably that two cars would be meeting on the road. <br /> <br />Member Wall questioned whether or not the county would require stop signs and <br />questioned how access would be gained from the facility to the sidewalk along County <br />Road B. <br /> <br />Tom Dunwell, project Architect, reviewed the options that Roseville Good Samaritan <br />Center have considered since the previous Planning Commission Meeting in an attempt to <br />meet the concerns previously expressed by the Planning Commission. Mr. Dunwell <br />pointed out that the front area would be used by the Center van for outings which would <br />be loaded in front but stored in the rear. Mr. Dunwell pointed out that the canopy size has <br />been reduced, and that landscape has been added to insure that all lost landscape would be <br />replaced. <br /> <br />Member Thomas questioned where snow storage would occur, canopy material, and shrub <br />height and location. Mr. Dunwell stated that snow would be trucked away, that the new <br />
