Commissioner Stulberg confirmed that delivery of gasoline

tan aqe.
Mr. 3ensen noted that the 1951 General` Development Plan for

which is what is proposed for`development at this time, He
was concerned about any delay in processing this appliea.-
tion., He stayed they have complied with all requirements
and Ordinance provisions and have responded to all direction
from the City. They have enjoyed a Mood relat.ionship with
the City of Plymouth and want it to continue...
Chairman St igerwal,d requested that Coordinator McConn ad-
dress Mr,, :ggen's comment that, the Rockford Square and
De o o`development proposals all be considered at one time.
Coordinator Accu n offered that the Rockford Square property
as being platted at this time so there is merit in reviewing
he development proposals together, She stated the property
to the east (vtoco -Addition) was platted at about the same
time and these development proposals were not ready for re-
view at the same Planning Commission meeting. it should not
he vie ed a$ a rpac age deal" a the Commis-- ion car aet on
each proposal independently as they are not contingent on
each other.
Mr. Eggen explained that his statement regarding a "package
deal.",was meant to explain the fact that the development
proposals for Rockford Square are being heard at the same
time; and, the proposals hung reviewed for the property to
the east (Del oeo Addition) should be included to make it
convenient for the City Council to review development
proposals for the whole area..:
Chairman Steige wal.d stated that the 1983 Preliminary Plan
for Rockford Square identified these uses and the background
sr.iterial could have been reviewed by the residents of the
Middle East ,Assoc;,at:g oa ., He stated he was concerned that it

Chairman Stelgerwald stated th at the zoning and guidincl of
this area 4as been uisoussed a number f times over the
years. The confusion factor seams to lice with the nomencla-
height orhocd shopping center"'-, people lank.

as
a is aint l R the wntc tiW r shack-type" of development-
and, the designation seems tO mean different things to each
person defining it. He confirmed that these uses are c-
ecx table uses by Conditional Use, Permit for this Zoning
Distri .
Mr. Eqgen stated they arsconcerned with the n"mber of eus-
mers that would be r w by tease businesses, that the gas
station Wt I l draw frooi a much eider area than the immediate
neighborhood, iced, that Holiday sells geode at high volume.
Chairman Steixierwald reiterated that', this use is a
permitted use in the Zoning District by Conditional Use Per- r-
mit. The permit has ondi tions Nhloh mush be met by the
applicant; and, if there problems arise, the City can revoke
that permit. He commented that Mr. 1 gen's statements on
the " ateway" are well taken, and perhaps the "gateways"
should have been looked at more closely ,vhen the guiding was
established throughout the City.
4220 Nathan „ane stated thathe is con-
cerned
avid fur r ,
oex ned about the neighborhood oonoept , He commented that
the e.xistlnq Holiday Plus store is 1,kjot a good neighbor"'.
they plow snow it, the middle of the nicItit which disturbs the
neighborhood; they are causing traffic problems in the area,
and, that more development in this area causes it to look
less and less like a neighborhood shopping area, He stated
his ;_:%oncern about possible pollution and :contamination of
ground water from gasoline storage tanks.
Chairmao Steigerwald inquired what time of Might the -<plowing
was being done. Mr. Burke stated he wasn't sure when he was
awakened. Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the traff'i.o
problems. Mp. Burke presented pictures showing police
directing traffic-. Chairman Steigerwald noted these were
taken during the period of the grand opening for the store,
and inquired if Mr. Burke perceives that the traffic
p obl.eirs have continued at that intensity. Mr.` Burke stated
that the traffic is more intense but has been alleviated
somewhat with the installation of traffic lights.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired of Engineer Sweeney about. ,any
problems with possible contamination of ground water: in this
area. Engineer Sweeney stated that the tanks would be 'in--
stall.ed as regulated by "tats; Code.

Mr. Jensen stated that realistically there have been some
in the industry with tank leakage for those which
were installed, long agcy and under less restrictive regula-
tions.
egu a -
tions. He stated khat they install tanks to meet all codas
and regulations ,including soils tests which reveal any chem-
icals In the soil that could cause corrosion.
Mr. 11,en Schuster, 4740 Orleans Lane, :Mated that he had
spoken against the approval for Holiday PI t , and he feels
that the gas station as proposed should be located on the
same property as the Holiday Plus store. He is concerned
that the Holiday store was proposed to Plymouth as a prem
l.um outlet a:nd would tie a show case, he does not agree that
this has been the case. He stated the landscaping is poori
the parking lot is toss much asphalt, and, sopping carts are
scattered over the lot. He agrees with Mr. Egqeals comments
on this area as a "gateway" to Plymouth; ; and, that the City
should have developer, a "theme" for the area.
He stated that while in college, he worked in a`= gas station
that pumped approximately %000 g l.loas per year. He is of
the opinion that Holiday should offer the information on the
volume of qas, sales they foresee for this facility. He
stated there are enough gas stations in the area; .and, the
Holiday plus star negates the need for a convenience
store. file Schuster was also concerned about Holiday
requesting Industrial Revenue Bond. that were approved by
Council.,, and,inquilred about the Ste-,,els requirements regard-
ing liability for any tank leakage.
Chairman Steigerwald stated that the Commission afpreciates
Mr. chuster's comments. Na explained that the Commission
is advisory to the City Council and would have no comment on
approvals regarding financing. He further explained that
the Conditional Use permit would be issued to Holiday as
operator of the station and could not be transferred to
another operator. He commented that the landscaping ,and
parking lot for the Holiday Plus storefollowed the
Ordinance provisions and criteria for approval. We
suggested to Mr. Schuster that he_g;ive his input to the City
regarding traffic flora and this could be addressed by the
City Engineer and Mr.. Jensen.
Engineer Sweeney and Mr. ,Jensen commented on the Traffic
Study completed in December, 1984, in don ut,_-tion with ;the
preliminary plat for Rockford Square. This report reviewed
development of property in the areal and, the report showed
that with installation of traffic lights the uses proposed
would not have an undue impact on ;the road system.
Mr., Schuster stated that the traffic counts were ., .Me for
County Roan 9, but not for Nathan Lane

Engineer Sweeney stated that there were projected traffic
counts made for Nathan Lane and the frontage road for County
Road 9. The study reoom endat tons include an acceleration

development.
Chairman Steigerwald; commented that in the ease of liabil -
t t the operator would follow all tae of Minnesota
standards and teat the State provides tilist of criteria
they should follow.
Mr. Schuster ommented that, the Planning Commission and
City Council Should require uniform development themes,, and,
that this area in particular should be planned as such.
Coordinator McConn commented that the Zoning Ordinance does
riot address mita mum architectural standards, ?fir, Schuster
stated that communities like San Francisco have
architectural standards to assure a stheticolly pleasing
development.
Chairman Steig,erwald closed the public Hearing*
Commissioner Wire Inquired about the signage proposal and
questioned the calculations, Coordinator McConn listed the
square foota es and :noted that they were aid. within Crdin-
ante provisions. Commissioner Wire Inquired about the size
of the logos. Coordinator McCann answered that the Logo I,%
counted as part of the building signage and the pylon is
counted separately as a freestanding sign, Commissioner
Wire inquired about the fascia panels,, aA whether they
would use a stripe. Mr. Jensen answered that they would not
use stapes,.
Commissioner dire inquired about the self-service micro-
phones and speakers. fir# Jensen stated these Mould be used
and are required with this type of operation* Comm ssion r
Wire inquired about (decibels) sound levels. fir. Jensen
stated that the noise level should not oe intense as the
speakers are located some distance from residential areas
Mr. Jensen added that they would assure that the speakers
would be turned down If there were. such problems arose.
Commissioner S.tulberq commented that `decibel range has no
bearing on which direction the sound will carry.
Commissioner Wire stated his concern with illumination and
inquired whether standards have been applied to the back -lit
signs. Coordinator ReCunn stated the luminaire plan had
been reviewed and nn, negative impacts were demonstrated.

Commissioner Wire stated this plan seemed to be strictly for
pole lights. He inquired about the illumination of the sign
on the buil,d nq and: whether there were standards for it.
Coordinator icConn stated the intensity of the ill.cmtn ted
sign was not reviewed, only the parking lot lighting. The
signage i lluminat icon would be reviewed with ' Sign Permit
application
Further discussion of signage and illumination ensued.
Chairman Steig rwald and Commissioner Stu.lberg suggested
that Commissioner Wire could suggest conditions of approval
that would address his concerns.
Commissioner Wire stated that he was unable to identify the
type of plantings considered for the bora in that the plan
references sod only. Mr en en stated they propose sodding
and low shrubbery over and above the requirements of tll(
Landscape Pol icy. Commissioner ' Wirestated Concern t ._
because the area is heavily geed on the northwest sides but
there is nothing planned for the front of the site. Mr.
ensen, stated their proposal will make the most attractive
surroundings and the landscape architect has prepared a good
plan. Commissioner giro 'commented on 'the statements made by
neighborhood residents who do not feel the landscaping is
adequate around the Holiday Rhus stere, which imeans in this
case, they should be sensitive to landscaping around the new
facility. lir. Jensen stated they are satisfied with their
plan and have worked with City scarf to achieve compliance
with all requirements.
Co=nmissioner Pauba noted that Condition No. 9 responds to
the lltmlvv a re plan- arid, he agrees there should be plantings
on the berm. Chairman Steigerwald pointed out that Four
Seasons Shopping Mall has no .shrubbery planted on berms.
