Craig Christensen, 2485 Wheeler North, stated the fence one foot from the right-of-way could create snow storage problems. How will the transit corridor along Snelling be protected. Could the applicant add more display along the southwest? The fences are ok, but should be painted. If the Oakcrest at Fairview intersection is approved, MnDot will consider closing the Snelling median. The winter "non-use" period has little impact. George Lindgren, 1728 Oakcrest Avenue, asked about deliveries; deliveries should use Snelling, and only during the workday. Traffic is a concern; with 250-500 trips, nothing has been planned for the redevelopment on the properties north of Oakcrest. The heavy traffic creates turning movement and entry delays. Chair Rhody closed the hearing. Motion: Member Klausing moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to recommend approval of the Lyndale Garden Center and Capital City Investments LLP request for a conditional use permit to allow construction of an outdoor display/sales/and storage area of 14,000 s.t.; 225 lineal feet of display trellis and approval of a two foot height variance for a security and safety fence with the fence setback of one foot from all right-of-way lines, based on the findings in Section 3 and with the conditions listed in Section 4 of the Request for Planning Commission Action dated February 10, 1999, and that product display be allowed up to the fence line. Member Cunningham asked for dimensions of the Snelling Frontage Road. Deb Bloom estimated the width to be 20 to 24 feet in width, and needs storage behind the curb. Member Klausing said he was concerned about traffic but that there was no control over the traffic. The snow piles are the responsibility of the owner. He said the unique display of plants would not set a precedent. Chair Rhody said the project is an improvement to Snelling Avenue and he will support it. Member Wilke asked that the light rail corridor be explored. He will support the proposal. Member Cunningham stated that Lyndale Garden Centers has historical traffic records for the most comparable garden center(New Hope). Motion carried 6-0. Ayes: Mulder, Olson, Cunningham, Rhody, Klausing, Wilke Nays: None 6b. Planning File 3098. Roseville Chrysler Auto Body Shop, request for a conditional use permit to store inoperable vehicles awaiting repair within an enclosed structure on property located at 2945 Partridge Road. (Section 1007 .03D1 b) (Applicant has requested continuance to Planning Commission meeting of March 10, 1999) Motion: Chair Rhody moved, seconded by Member Cunningham, to recommend that the application for a conditional use permit, by Roseville Chrysler Auto Body Shop, to store inoperable vehicles awaiting repair within an enclosed structure on property located at 2945 Partridge road, be continued to a date certain, that being March 10, 1999, and that the City shall re-advertise the new hearing date and re-send the appropriate notice to affected property owners, and further, that the Council approve a 60-day extension of the 60-day review period.
