Memo To The Planning Commission Page 2 July 18, 1995 • are several minor parking lot and drive isle issues related to this request. Most of the issues are listed in the attached Memo from City Engineer Terry Maurer. The applicant has been made aware of these issues, and a new updated plan addressing these issues may be available at the July 25, 1995, Planning Commission Meeting. AR-MON Commercial Park The AR-MON Commercial Park was platted in 1979 into 20 lots. The site is relatively flat with very few existing trees located on the property. Existing users in the subdivision consist of Metro Trucking which has access off of Jarvis Street, and a single family home which also has access off of Jarvis Street. The majority of the plat, however, is currently vacant. When AR-MON Commercial Park was platted no roads were constructed to service this plat; however, public right-of-way was dedicated for 156th Avenue and 156th Lane. Therefore, a key issue related to this request is how much of a road system is needed to be constructed for this particular user. 156th Lane As mentioned earlier, no roads have been constructed in the AR-MON Commercial Park. The applicant has recently purchased several of the remaining lots in the subdivision; however, at this time only has plans to develop Lots 8 & 9, Block 2. Due to the fact that • the applicant owns a developable parcel to the east of the subject site and more to the north, staff is recommending that 156th Lane be built all the way from Highway 10 to 156th Avenue. This extension will allow for the orderly development of the lot to the east, and potentially to the lots to the north. It is unclear at this time how the property to the north will develop; therefore, staff is not recommending that 156th Avenue, which runs parallel to Highway 10, be constructed at this time. The attached memo from Terry Maurer, City Engineer, does address this same issue. The applicant is requesting that a driveway be allowed to intersect with Highway 10 to his property rather than a city street, until some of the other parcels in the plat develop. Mr. Fredrickson is concerned with the cost of constructing a road to service only one user. The applicant will be available on July 25, 1995, to discuss his concerns with constructing 156th Lane from Highway 10 to the intersection with 156th Avenue. MNDOT The Minnesota Department of Transportation has reviewed the access of 153rd Lane, and has recommended approval of a right-in right-out-only intersection. As part of the approval process the applicant will be required to pay and install a turn lane on west- bound Highway 10. A Construction Plan for the proposed access with drainage calculations must be submitted to MN-DOT with an Access Permit Application. • S:Planning/CU95-16
