COMMISSIONER SPOTTS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST ON FRONTAGE BY ALL-LAN PARTNERSHIP CONTINGENT UPON THE LOT SPLIT BEING APPROVED SITING THE SEVEN STANDARDS IN STAFF'S MEMO DATED MARCH 14, 1991 WITH THE CONDITION THAT A PRIVATE ROAD AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE TWO PARCELS THAT WILL ACCESS THE WESTERN PARCEL, PRIOR TO RECORDING THE LOT SPLIT. COMMISSIONER SCHROEDER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 11. Conditional Use Permit (Gas Station &. Convenience Store) by Holiday . Stationstore.~lP.H. Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, stated that the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to convert the existing school district office building into a Holiday Gas Station/Convenience Store. A car wash is also being considered on this site. The applicants have submi tted two site plans; one with a car wash and one without. The Planning Commission has to determine which site plan they wish to review as only one site plan can be considered. It is staff's opinion that the site is too small to adequately accommodate a car wash. Staff is further recommending tabling of the request because the site plan does not adequately address the grading and drainage on the site. Tim Keane, City Attorney, stated that if the applicants wish to proceed wi th this request they must determine which application they want the Planning Commission to consider. Mark Nelson representing Holiday Station Stores stated that they had not come prepared to determine one si te plan over the other. If they had to make a choice it would have to he the site plan with the car wash. . Ms. Szklarski stated that staff's main concerns with this request would be storm drainage and traffic/access. Terry Maurer, City Engineer, addressed the storm drainage problem. He stated that at the concept review meeting the need to pick up storm drainage internally was discussed. Storm drainage should be picked up internally on commercial lots like this one so as to avoid a situation where water would run off the site causing problems on street intersections or behind the shopping center. Mr. Maurer indicated that staff would like to see a revised drainage plan before any further review bJ' the Planning Commission.
