st. Joe's Subway Foods: Bob Brophy and Bill Nelson appeared before
the Planning Commission to discuss the site plan for the st. Joe
Subway. Brophy stated that the layout meets all the requirements
of the st. Joseph Ordinances. After construction, all the surfaces
around the building will be finished with either landscaping or
asphalt. The sign base has been moved off the easement area.
However, the top of the sign, 25 feet high, will hang over the
easement area approximately 10 feet. Due to a conflict the owners
of st. Joe's Subway cannot attend the next City Council meeting and
requested the Council Liaison to carry forward their request.
Sniezek made a motion authorizing st. Joe's Subway to make
application for a building permit as requested, based on the
attached site plan. The motion was seconded by Nierengarten. I

to the Commission his plan for street numbering. The Planning
Commission discussed the inconvenience placed on property owners
and felt it was important to allow adequate time for residents to
make the change. Of particular concern was the dental office, as
they have already changed their address once and have ordered new
stationary. Commissioners requested copies of Mr. Poeppings
proposal be forward to the City Engineer for his review and all the
Commission Members. This matter was tabled to the August 7, 1995
meeting.

concern if this type of surface is desirable in the General
Business District. Schneider stated that allowing this type of
surface is the same as crushed granite. After a lengthy
discussion, the Commission requested the Council to authorize the
Attorney to make the following changes to the proposed amendment:
Page 1, b) : delete the sentence discussing recycled
bituminous.
Page 1, last paragraph: Parking lot standards for industrial
uses may be subject to modification by the conditional use permit
for the specific industrial use. Add: For example, Recycled
bituminous or concrete shall be permitted only if it conforms to
the requirements of Mn/DOT specification 3138 with a Class 5
gradation and compaction by a rubber tired roller until there is no
visual evidence of further consolidation.
Additionally, the Commission would like the Attorney to consider
the following:
1) Clarify that all existing parking lots will be
grandfathered, until the property has a change in use.
2) How does this amendment affect new City parks?
-
3) If we allow recycled bituminous in the Industrial area..
should we also allow crushed granite?
Accessory Buildinqs: Ehlert reported that he discussed with the
Council amending the Ordinance to require a two foot setback on
moveable accessory buildings. The Council will discuss this matter
further at a future meeting.
