CITY OF ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1995 Falk also summarized how the proposal would meet the specific design standards for automobile service stations contained in Section 8.360 of the City ordinance. He described his findings that the proposal met all the conditions. Mr. Falk further described the Engineering considerations of this proposal, including the necessity for a Ramsey County permit for working within the County Road D right-of-way, the necessity for a permit from Rice Creek Water Management District, and that proposed sewer and water services not be adversely impacted by landscaping.
