City Planner Brixius added that Gary Janish, the developer of Albertville Crossings Shopping Center expressed an interest in opening a breakfast restaurant on a site located in front of Co born's. In my discussions with the City Attorney and others, we feel that this type of restaurant facility would be appropriate within the purpose and intent of the B-2 District. If the Planning and Zoning Commission concurs with staff's findings, they may recommend approval of this test amendment to the City Council. Chair Budde was concerned about allowing tables and chairs outside weather permitting. How would we monitor this so it doesn't become safety concern or winter storage? Zoning Administrator Sutherland questioned if it is allowed with the existing Retail Center. Some of the tenants are planning to have a few tables and chairs on the sidewalk this Spring / Summer / Fall of2003. Klecker commented about the IS-foot buffer. According to the book it says 20-foot buffer. He also had a concern that a couple of the lots butt up to residential. Zoning Administrator wanted to now about the outdoor dining area - permitted? Chair Budde would like to see outside dining with limited space and during winter months not used as storage. The tenant would have to find storage of the tables and chairs.

He went over where the types of house will be and how it blend together. He stated that there were 21 issues the applicant needed to meet. Zoning Administrator Sutherland asked the developer to inform the architects to make sure the utility service is not in the driveway. We encourage the builders to keep them in the landscaping / grass. City Planner Brixius went over the reason for the Planned Unit Development Preliminary for the new commission members so they get a better understanding of the process. City Planner Brixius would like to add the comments from the Zoning Administrator Sutherland's request for the landscaping issue. Dave Hempel, representing Towne Lakes, spoke before the commission. He touched on the issues that were brought up in prior meetings. He shared with the commission that the barn will remain as part of the Development. They will remodel/fix it up and possibly make this the site for the Community Center. There is talk of having a pool somewhere on the site. The street widths issue came up again. It was pointed out as to which street would be wider and which would be a little narrower. The question regarding the park and it being a possible soccer field. Would there be additional parking spots? Berning would like to see a variety of detached townhomes, so when you drive down the street they don't all look the same. Chair Budde, as far as the streets go, had a concern with the narrower streets. But since we are waiting for a response from the City Engineer Carlson wanted to clarify CITY OF ALBERTVILLE Planning and Zoning Commission February 11, 2003 Minutes . Page 4 of5 which streets the city would be responsible for plowing and which the developer / association would plow.

Will we be looking at another traffic signal at that intersection? City Planner Brixius stated that he would look into that. He did not have an answer tonight. The City Engineer Carlson would probably have an answer and also an estimated cost.

Dale Olsen - Auto Repair Shop City Planner Brixius shared with the commission that Dale Olsen came before the staff today inquiring about the possibility of opening an Auto Repair Shop off of Barthel Industrial Drive. Dale would lease one of the buildings on the site. It is currently zoned I-I Light Industrial. He has a shop in New Hope but would like to relocate somewhere out here. Chair Budde commented about the apartment above a restaurant was one issue we looked at. The applicant is looking at fixing up the building and leasing will possibly cause him to charge more for his services making it a costly site. He would like to direct Dale to other sites within Albertville that are zoned for Auto Repair Shops. 6. ADJOURNMENT John Meierhofer made a motion to adjourn. Kocon seconded the motion.
