Richard Wiebe explained the access points along County Road B and the full intersections at State Farm as well as Pascal would remain. Right-in, right-out access would be provided in other areas. MnDOT and the County want to reduce the left turn crossings of "B" from existing driveways. Member Stone asked if there is concern with U-turn movements (No, but more study will be done). Chair Mulder asked how many trucks would enter the site (10 to 14 per week and approximately 4 grocery trucks). Russell explained the route will be east on "B" to Pascal or from Highway 36 to Commerce, to the site. Most deliveries will be done between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., with local deliveries done from 8 a.m. to noon. The store would be open from 8 a.m. until midnight. Chair Mulder asked if this project was considered a "24 hour use" in Roseville's Code. Paschke responded that Target would be a 24 hour use under Russell's description and that it could be controlled through the Code and/or a Planned Unit development. All parcels shown on the sketch site plan are under targets control. Member Bakeman asked if parking was adequate, based on the overflow at MnDED currently. (Yes, there will be more spaces through a trade of land with Wellington, but aligned differently.) Chair Mulder asked what the new architectural will look be and asked that it be more than a big box with changes in vertical and horizontal lines to change the depth, especially with integration of new retail in the same area. (A new design is being prepared for this store.) Member Stone asked if "Target -1" would be the first to use the new design in the Twin Cities (yes). Member Traynor asked what might be done with the proposed new small retail spaces (small shops and restaurants). The architecture should be special, make a statement. Chair Mulder asked for a schedule: Concept Hearing will be on December 3rd, after a neighborhood meeting by Target. He said this is a great opportunity for Target and the city to clean up the site. Member Ipsen asked for details of the frontage road along the west side of the site. (Portions could be vacated as the intersection of "B" and Snelling is re-worked.) There were no further comments. 6. Hearings Chair Mulder opened the hearings portion of the meeting.. a. Planning File 3538: Request by the City of Roseville to amend City Code Title 10, Chapter 1014 (Board of Adjustment and Appeals). Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planning Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary of the staff report dated November 5, 2003. A general discussion ensued regarding the efficiency of the variance process and the need for further refinements of the appeal process to include notice. Staff explained how these boards work in other communities, and that they provide the Commission with more time to deal with planning issues rather than administrative issues. Could the Planning Commission be advised of the issues and challenges the Board finds (yes, the Board - as proposed would be composed of 3 planning commission members.) The Commission requested that conditional use permits be taken out of the ordinance and that language be written more clearly. A flow chart of the appeals process will be created for review at the next meeting. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Stone, to continue the review of proposed amendments to the City Code Title 10, Chapter 1014 (Board of Adjustment and Appeals) to the December 3, 2003 meeting. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried. b. Planning File 3537: Request by the City of Roseville to amend text of Non-Conforming Uses within City Code Section 1011 and 1002. Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to present verbal summary of the staff report dated November 5, 2003. A general discussion ensured. Staff will re-word and re-order the proposed ordinance, and eliminate duplication. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Stone, to continue the review of the amendments to City Code Title 10, Chapter 1011 (Nonconforming structures or uses) and Section 1002 (Definitions) to the December 3,2003 meeting.
