RE:
Albertville - Mooney Addition / Mobile Site Plan Amendment
FILE NO:
163.06 ~ 00.19
The purpose of this item .is for the Planning Commission ~ndCityCouncil to review site
plan changes proposed for the gas station/car wash/convenience store (former C-
Store/Holiday Station) for Mooney Development corporation. The City Council
approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and site plans for Lot 1, Block 1, Mooney
Addition. on December 6, 1999. ,Since the original.site plan and CUP approval, the
tenant for the site has changed. to Mobile as opposed to Holiday. With the change of
tenant; several minor modifications to the site plan and modification of the building are
proposed. Our office has reviewed the proposed modifications and believes that the
majority of changes are minor and that the. building plans are an improvement over the
original approved plans.
All commercial and industrial site plans must be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Commission and City Council. Staff believes that the modifications will result in a
superior plan. However, the applicant was advised that the Planning Commission and
CityCouncit would need to review the plan changes to assure that the buildingfayade,
roof/inesand site plan modifications are acceptable to the City. It is important to note
that the modifications will not result in any changes to the. landscape plan and that the
site plan is consistent.with all setback, parking, loading, . screening and other applicable
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The following modifications to the approved site plan for . Lot 1, Block. 1, Mooney
Addition are outlined as follows:
1. The C-Store/Holiday Station.has been changed to a Mobile Station.
2. The roof/ines and building have been modified to add a front, glass atrium and
pitched roof on the car wash to screen the car wash equipment

3. The car wash equipment has been relocated from the ground area west of the
building, to the roof of the building (said equipment will be screened by the revised
roofJine ).
4. The trash enclosure has been relocated from the middle of the parking lot to a
location adjacent to the west side of the building. (The trash enclosure is proposed
to be located in the are formerly occupied by the car wash equipment. The sight
lines have been reviewed based upon the current proposal and found to be
acceptable).
5. The vacuum and air service equipment has been relocated from the east side of the
building to a location north of the canopy in the easterly part of the parking lot.
6. One additional parking space has been added.
7. The gas pumps have been set at an angle as opposed to perpendicular to CSAH 19.
8. A telephone booth area has been added on the most westerly parking lot island.
9. Additional sidewalk is proposed adjacent to west and south sides of the building.
10. The canopy lighting is proposed to be a system similar to that recently installed at
Pats Phillips 66 as opposed to recessed lighting.
RECOMMENDATION:

motion to recommend approval of the revised plans would be in order.
