2. The proposed fence would be setback into the property (north of the evergreen trees) and be located outside the clear view triangle at Sheldon Street and County Road C (see attached). The boulevard area along the north side of County Road C is 30 feet wide providing adequate sight line distance. 3. The location of the property adjacent to County Road C and across from a light industrial area and the rail line adversely impacts the privacy of the applicant and his family. 4. The character of the parcel (through lot) creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. 5. The proposed 6.5 feet tall fence will not impact sight lined at the intersection of County Road C and Sheldon Street. 6. None of the adjacent properties (this one included) face County Road C; therefore, the fence will not impact front yard views. 7. The proposed variance in is harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive plan and Title 10 (zoning) of the City Code. 8. The variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. Member Egli asked that the location of the fence be more clearly defined. Member Mulder explained that the location of the fence will be north of the pines, but if the pines were cut, the applicant would need approval to move the fence. Member Wilke noted that the applicant has dimensions on the application drawing which the staff will verify. A general discussion ensued on the impact of the variance on future landowners. Member Egli asked if the Code should be changed to more clearly identify the needs on other properties. Member Cunningham noted the unique situation: industrial uses south of County Road C. Chair Klausing noted that traffic volume on County Road C is also a unique problem to this site. Motion Vote: The motion carried 7-0. 7. Presentations and Other Actions 7a. Schedule for Planning and Zoning Updates for Twin Lakes Business Park Dennis Welsch reported on the possible "strategy renewal process" for Twin Lakes Business Park and encouraged the Commission to participate. The Council will discuss this at their work session on June 19. 7b. Planning File 2963. 18-Month Report: Taco Bell - Hours of Operation Dennis Welsch explained the 18-month report on the Taco Bell operation within the Roseville Shopping Center PUD, noting that the police records indicated 9 calls. The police department has reported that the number of calls was not considered high for this area. Staff was asked to provide more detail on the calls, especially the time of each call and request Roseville Police to confer with St. Paul Police to see if additional calls had been made about the Taco Bell within St. Paul. A copy of the final report will be sent to the Commission for their information. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Wilke to accept the report (with additions) including the current hours of operation without further change to the Planned Unit Development or Taco Bell business hours of operation, and refer it to the City Council for their review. The motion carried 7-0. 8. Information, Reports and Other Business 8a. Post vote comments and practices. Chair Klausing suggested that Commission members pro and con comments be made during the general debate so that all Commission members are exposed to the particular thought. A general discussion ensued. A point of personal privilege may be asked of the Chair, after the debate and vote, to provide explanation as necessary. 8b. Establish Joint Meeting with Council.
