Member Stone asked what the maximum speed on the test track is (5-10 mph). What is the operation standard? (An employee will accompany a test driver). The test track is 6 to 8 feet lower than the Super 8 Motel parking lot. Member Bakeman asked for details (dimensions) of the track. Not available at this time, but a one-way street. Is there a setback?(minimum 5 feet). Chair Mulder asked about width, depth, length of track. Member Stone said the test track is for slow learning. Has this been done elsewhere in the community? (no) What is the lighting standard for this area (parking lot lighting). Member Peper noted that Highway 36 already has much noise. Member Ipsen asked if Super 8 has been notified (notified, but no comments received). Bill Sievers, construction supervisor, explained the test track is 10 to 15 feet wide and will be used for learning. There will be little impact on the Super 8 because of the hillside. Screening materials are not known at this time. Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Bakeman, to recommend approval of a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT based on the findings of Section 5 and conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated October 1, 2003, and both building permits to be issued within six months of approval. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried 6-0. e. Planning File 3524: Request by Request by Speedway SuperAmerica for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT in accordance with Section 1 005.04C17 and 1013.01 D (Conditional Use Permits) of the Roseville City Code at 2172 Lexington Avenue. Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary of the staff report dated October 1, 2003. City Planner Paschke explained that SuperAmerica, 2172 Lexington Avenue, is applying for a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT in accordance with Section 1 005.05C19 and 1013.01 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Roseville City Code to allow off-sale liquor sales in a 1,600 sq. ft. portion of the convenience store with a separate entry. A separate liquor license approval is also required and is decided upon by the City Council. Super America will need to meet the requirements of Section 302.13 Off Sale License Regulations of the Roseville City Code.) Thomas Paschke noted there will be no significant additional impact from the retail use of the site. Chair Mulder asked for criteria of CUP and whether it is the same for all retail activities.(yes) Member Traynor said he has concern regarding definition of "use" and separating this from other retail uses. Thomas Paschke explained impacts are different in Shopping Center vs B3 zone. Member Bakeman asked if liquor licenses are issued elsewhere adjacent or across from the park. (no regulations) Member Stone asked what impact additional traffic would have and how much added traffic would occur. She asked if there are public facilities/services - which will be discussed by the Council and how many off-site liquor licenses are allowed in Roseville. Member Stone asked if the general health, wealth, safety can be evaluated. Thomas Paschke said there may be more occurrences in parks but this is difficult to measure. Member Traynor said there needs to be some criteria or evidence to determine whether the use should be approved as a CUP. Brian Laferty, Super America, asked for approval of the Conditional Use. The existing facility is 8,500 s.f., much too large for a standard convenience store. The use is viable for this site. Beer is now sold in the convenience store. Super America does not have other such sites in Minnesota, but does have in other states. Member Peper asked if liquor store customers will use up the gas pump parking spaces (50 total parking spaces on this site). There will be no inside entrance to the liquor store from the convenience store.
