MEMBERS PRESENT Cathy Buck, Ann. Bodlovick, Bill McDonald, Bill Lundquist STAFF PR ESENT Marv Ray, Sue Mosiman APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion was made to approve the minutes of the Special Meetings of Decem- ber 13, 1978 and January 30, 1979. Motion carried. PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF PLAN REQUEST FOR ARROW BUILDING CEN- TER (STAFF COMMENT AND PRESENTATION BY DEVELOPER) Marv Ray commented that the zoning and development requirements have been met and the Planning Department has favorably reviewed the preliminary pro- posal. A question was raised regarding the necessity of two curb cuts. A representative from Arrow Building Center stated one curb cut was for customer traffic and the other was for the semi-truck traffic. Also,' Cathy Buck was concerned over the use of trap rock at the unloading dock area as far as the trucks kicking up rocks and strewing them onto 63rd Street. Marv Ray stated that one condition of the Conditional Use Permit would be the possibility of the property owner constructing a hard surface if the trap rock creates such a problem in the future. Mr. Ray also stated that physical screening should be used to screen this dockage area. The Committee made a motion to have the Planning Dep.artment Staff continue work on the Arrow Building Center Conditional Use Permit. Motion carried. PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF PLAN REQUEST FROM TOM THUMB (STAFF COMMENT AND PRESENT ATIONBY DEVELOPER) The Planning Department has reviewed the Tom rhumb proposal for the dairy store and self service gas pumps and has found sufficient area for an on-site septic system. Concern was expressed over the traffic flow, parking and fuel pumping operation. The Committee suggested Tom Thumb produce a more feasible plan. Bodlovick asked to see a plat map reflecting the proposed extension of West Orleans in regards to the Tom Thumb driveway. The Committee would like to review this proposal further after verification of the actual street location has been obtained. -- e Joint Powers Committee February 23, 1979 Page Two DISCUSS PROPOSED SITE IMPROVEMENTS TO MJM MOTERS BUSINESS Mr. Ray informed the Committee that owners of the parcel, Milton, leased by MJM Moters, are contemplating improving the property considerably by con- structing a new building on the property. Available information indicates that the said lot is approximately 60' x 400' and located in a commercially zoned district. Based on the County Ordinance presently the site lacks the minimum publ ic road frontage requirement for a parcel facilitating an automobile sales land use. Discussion evolved concerning the development history of the said lot. Ac- cording to Myers, the said parcels original dimensions were 95' x 400' how- ever the City of Stillwater acquired 30' of the 95' dimension for purposes of improving the publ ic street that extends along the east boundary of the property. It was also revealed that the original land use of the parcel was the sale of snowmobiles and possibly motorcycles. Obviously the area re- quired to adequately accommodate an operation of this nature would be con- siderably less than the area required for an automobile sale business. - The Committee directed the Planning Staff to consult with the County Attor- ney regarding the validity of this automobile and recreati onal vehicle sales operation relative to the County Ordinance, then during the next regularly scheduled meeHng present their findings. REVIEW STATUS OF AMENDMENT TO THE STILLWATER INDUSTRIAL PLAt Ray reviewed with the Committee the status of the amendment to the Still- water Industrial Plat that was officially approved by the Joint Powers Com- mittee during the Special Meeting held January 30, 1979. According to Marv Ray the owner of the Industrial Park property~ Hooley's, have complied with requirements of the County Ordinance to officially resub- divide Lot 2, Block 4, Stillwater Industrial Park. Nevertheless, in order to relieve any doubt concerning the validity of the resubdivision Mr . Ray advised the Committee that it would be proper if they again made a resolu- tion apprOVing the said resubdivision. Buck made the motion to adopt the: -- RESOLUTION RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN STILLWATER INDUSTRIAL PARK BY HOOLEY LAND PARTNERSHIP NO.2; APPROVAL OF RESUBDlVlSlON OF LOT 2, BLOCK 4 BE IT R ESOL VE D: That the resubdivision of Lot 2 Block 4, Stillwater Industrial Park, ~ to' e e - Joint Powers Committee February 23, 1979 Page Three in conformance with the attached survey of the same and as necess itated by the mortgaging of the same and other property shown in said su~vey to North- western National Life Insurance Company, is hereby approved. ..
