11.The use, with the conditions provided, is not compatible with the existing neighborhood. Without a connection to the residential areas north of the site, the store will be an auto-only destination, which is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 12.The proposed use of a grocery store would not be injurious to the public health, safety or welfare. 13.The proposed grocery store will impair the enjoyment or future development of properties in the immediate vicinity of the site. The proposed road extending south to Pillsbury constrains the ability to develop the properties to the east along the highway. By limiting their ability to acquire more property in the way this application has done in redeveloping the Bradmor Hotel, the proposed connection to Pillsbury, as configured, constrains the future development of all the properties adjacent to it. 14.None of the properties adjacent to the proposed grocery store are vacant. The redevelopment of this site will not impede the normal redevelopment of the adjacent properties. 15.The grocery store will require the extension of sanitary sewer to the property. The applicant has received approval for a tax abatement to cover this expense. The long-term cost of maintaining the necessary infrastructure will be offset by the ultimate increased tax revenue to the City for this development. 16.The traffic approaches to the property have been reviewed and accepted by Mn/DOT. 17.The development contains adequate off-street parking and loading areas. 18.The applicant has submitted an erosion control plan, which effectively manages potential erosion problems. 19.There are no significant natural, scenic or historical structures on or near this property. Please note that the Planning Commission also added the following as conditions to the conditional use permit: 1. The request to rezone from Commercial to Downtown Mixed Use that is pending before the City Council shall be withdrawn by the applicant. Within four days of this approval, the applicant shall send a letter to the City requesting the application be withdrawn. 2. The stormwater management plan submitted, subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, shall be fully implemented. 3. Within 90 days of this approval, a lighting plan shall be submitted for Planning Commission review. The plan shall demonstrate that all lighting shall be downward directional, hooded so as not to create glare on adjacent properties or public space and shall be compatible with the surrounding properties. Provisions for reducing the amount of lighting after-hours shall be demonstrated. Once modified to be acceptable to the Planning Commission, the plan shall be fully implemented.
