Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, February 06, 2008 Page 3 Randy Neprash, 1276 Eldridge Avenue Mr. Neprash asked that, while considering this application, the Commission could resolve another traffic issue in the area, to eliminate one of the driveways into the shopping strip. Mr. Neprash advised that the minimal traffic island in between the two driveways did little to enhance traffic flow, and actually confused traffic. Mr. Neprash suggested striping the lot more effectively, at a minimum, to better define the two areas. Chair Bakeman closed the Public Hearing. Additional discussion among staff and Commissioners included distance requirements for licensing the site, of which staff advised there were none under current City Code, and therefore had not received consideration during staff’s review of the CUP; and background checks of the applicant prior to licensure. MOTION Member Doherty moved, seconded by Member Gasongo to RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT for Steve Allen for a proposed off-sale liquor store at 2217 Snelling Avenue, to operate in compliance with requirements and regulations established in Roseville City Code, Sections 1004.01G; and based on comments and findings of Sections 5 and 6 of the project report dated February 6, 2008. It was the consensus of Commissioners that the land use fit within the CUP category; and noted that, at the City Council level, the well-researched background investigations by the Police Department would facilitate a review of this applicant’s history in operating other facilities (i.e., a store in Minneapolis) for other non-land use concerns. Ayes: 6 Nays: 1 (Gottfried) Motion carried. Chair Bakeman advised that the Case was scheduled to be heard by the City Council at its February 25, 2008 meeting. b.

Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 08-001. City Planner Thomas Paschke corrected the requested action; noting that the Preliminary Plat was not under consideration at this time. Mr. Paschke reviewed the request of McGough Development, seeking approval of a REZONING AND GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT to redevelop the approximately 26-acre PIK Terminal property into a corporate campus consisting of two (2) office buildings; a single-story laboratory; two (2) parking structures and other site improvements.
