The Rezoning request (from B-1 to B-2) will allow TCF to redevelop the 1.3 acre (56,200 sq. ft.) vacant parcel to a new TCF branch bank with a 4,500 sq. ft, office and 5 lane drive-thru. The redevelopment proposal does not require site plan approval from the Planning Commission or City Council. The submittedplans must be consistentwith Sections 1005 (Business Districts) and 1010 (Design Standards) of the Roseville City Code.

The left turn into the site should be eliminated. Is there a retail component on this site? Thomas Paschke explained the reason for rezoning only to a bank. Member Balceman noted that Pascal is where the road lanes change. The left turn along the ease end of the site is the issue which creates traffic flow issues. Mr. Masanz also noted that traffic now makes "U-turns" on " B. Thomas Paschke explained the entry on'B" was to be a right in — right out. A median in front of the bank may help. Mr. Bob Lunberg, parcel owner from Zimmerman Realty, explained in 1960 a plat was to be an office park. In 1975 Zimmerman made a deal with Roseville State Bank, with a drive through.
