Property: owner of Property: BACKGROUND INFO: T I TION S .Sff Shell Oil Company Special use permission for the operation of a service station use. Approval of site and building plans for a service station use, 6245 Osseo Road (Parcel 5510, Aud, cub. No. 25) Elvera Gatzke 1) The existing Shell Oil Station on this property was approved in the late 1950s. Since that time, special use permission was requested and approved (in 1964) to permit the rental of trailers on the property. Since the original establishment of the station, a small triangle of lane at the corner of 63rd and Osseo Road has been taken from the original site, and the land to the south has been developed as a shopping center, prohibiting expansion of the station site to the south. A strip of land owned by another party (about 11 feet in width) exists between the Shell property and Ewing Lane to the west, but we have been advised that this property is also unobtainable. The plans which have been submitted envision the addition of a service bay on the north side of the present station, and a complete revamping of the station with this addition so that the completed station will become one of the "ranch" type stations Shell Oil has built on two other sites within Brooklyn Center_. Given the extensive nature of this revision to the station, which in effect makes it a new station, the application is being submitted as a special use permit as well as a site and building plan approval. 2) This matter was heard at the Commission's March 7th meeting, and the applicant was directed to further refine his plans, which he has since done. R:Q Page 2 Application No. 68004 POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1) The present station does not have the greanstrips required of other stations built in the past several years, and at the last meeting of the Commission at ,Thich this Appli- cation was discussed, there was no consensus as to whether these should be imposed on the station at t1iis time. In discussions with the applicant since the last hearing, some landscaped area has been added to the 63rd Avenue side of the site, but not the Osseo Road side. 2) Usable parking spaces to satisfy the ordinance requirements, lacking on the previoup plan, have been accommoda--ed on the present plan with 14 ZA 15 spaces proved. The revision of this parking has limited the area remaining for rental "railer storage, and perhaps some limitation should be attached to this trailer use. 3) Access to the station is not proposed to be changed from that presently permitted, although an access from Ewing Lane will probably be added if the strip of Nand west of the station is acquired in tine future. STAFF COMMENTS: 1) The Shell Oil people were advised almost a year ago (when they submitted these plans for Staff review) that certain changes to the existing site plan in line with the points mentioned above would be desirable, and further, that acquisition of the strip of land between the station and Ewing Lane and demolition of the existing station would probably be the best approach to :best utilize the site. From that time to the present-, no changes have been made to the site plan, and the Shell representatives have told us that acquisition of the adjacent land is impossible at the price being asked. The opinion of the Staff is that the additional land is not crucial to a better design for the station, although it would give more flexibility in design. 2) In reviewing the site plan, the Staff has noted that only (approx.) 4 feet will remain between the Offeo Road curbline and the service station's paved driving areas. Given the fact that Shell Oil must maintain the landscaping Page 3 Application No. 68004 material on the highway boulevard, it may be that Shell would prefer to install a sidewalk in that area, which would probably be cheaper for them to maintain, and would be one step further toward our walkway sustem. The subject has not been broached to Shell, and this might be the time to do so. 3) In addition to the normal requirements of a plan approval, if -there are special conditions to be attached to the usage of the property as a service station, now is the time for such stipulations to be made. 34 PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION SHEET Application No. Applicant: Description of Request-.

Page 2 Application No. 68004 POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1. The present station does not have the green strips required of other stations built in the past several years, and the new plans submitted do not contain this feature. The present station does not have sufficient usable parking space in accordance with our ordinances, especially with the addition of the rental, trailers, which have grown in number over the years. The present station does not have the best type of access to the adjacent streets> and the new dra* ngs do not propose any changes in this feature. STAx F COMMENTS : 1. The Shell Oil people were advised almost a year ago (when they submitted these plans for Staff review; that certain changes to the existing site plan in line with the points mentioned above would be desirable, and further, that acquisition of the strip of land between the station and Ewing Lane and demolition of the existing station would probably be the best approach to best utilize the site. From that time to the present, no changes have been made to the site plan, and the Shell representatives have told us that acquisition of the adjacent land is impossible at the price being asked. The opinion of the Staff is that the additional land is not crucial to a better design for the station, although it would give more flexibility in design, but that a good deal more cooperation on the part of Shell Oil in attempting to conform to the City's codes and traffic principles is desirable. Up to this point such cooperation has not been forthcoming. Thus, unless the Commission is willing to aceeptthe deficiencies in the plan, we recommend the denial of this application. L.
