r- ) A AGENDA ITEM 6 <br /> X <br /> Sty of , MEMORANDUM <br /> E 1k Ri <br /> ver TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> FROM: STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER—?¢ <br /> DATE: APRIL 26, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> REQUEST BY DARKENWALD FAMILY <br /> PARTNERSHIP/PUBLIC HEARING, <br /> CASE NO. CU 94-11 <br /> ISSUE <br /> The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to construct an auto <br /> mall immediately north of Burger Time on the west side of Carson Street. <br /> The proposal includes a possible extension of Carson Street to the north, <br /> connecting to Highway 169, which would function only as a right-in/right-out. <br /> The right-in/right-out has not been approved by MnDot at this time, however, <br /> • the developers will be seeking the approval from MnDot as this project <br /> proceeds forward. <br /> Given the proposed development, staff is concerned about the traffic that is <br /> presently occurring on Carson Street, in addition to the increased traffic <br /> generated by the proposed development. Since the right-in/right-out onto <br /> Highway 169 has not been approved yet, there lies the possibility that all <br /> traffic generated by the existing and proposed development would be limited <br /> to Carson Street as it connect with Main. This intersection already presents <br /> concerns and would be further aggravated by additional development without <br /> adequate road improvements. <br /> Therefore, staff is recommending this item be tabled until the May 24, 1994, <br /> Planning Commission meeting. This would allow the applicant time to <br /> prepare a traffic study that would examine the impacts of this development <br /> on Carson Street and the Main Street intersection, given both the possibility <br /> of a right-in/right-out onto Highway 169 as well as the possibility this <br /> connection may not occur. Upon receiving this information, staff will then <br /> review the proposed development and present its findings to the Planning <br /> Commission. <br /> • <br /> darkenw.planning <br /> P.O.
