“Good evening. My name is Jake Kurt with Scanel Properties. Do I need to state my address? Do I need to state my address or no? ... thank you very much for having me uh this evening. We're very very excited about this project. As you know, the Interstate South Logistics Park has been quite the development uh spanning over what feels like over a decade. Uh this is the fourth edition. Uh we are taking one outlot, creating two lots and then one uh outlot will remain in uh what's known as the fourth edition. The project itself is a 75,000 square foot built to suit for Domino's supply. ... This will be a relocation expansion. The reach of this project is actually pretty cool. Uh to say it simply put uh this single facility will service the entire state of Minnesota and will distribute to all the chain Dominoes uh restaurants areas that you and I all order from. The project timeline is uh on hyper speed right now. Following uh entitlements and city improvements, we fully anticipate to break ground right away. uh goal is is to beat winter con winter. So to be weathertight before uh the snow flies, which is very crazy to talk to talk and think about as we just wrapped up uh winter.”

“My name is Jerry Wendell. I'm here for 7 Brew on behalf of Seven Brew. Uh, we looking to put one here on 179th in um Seven Brew initially just kind of entering our market area. They're they're out of um Louisville, Kentucky. the franchisee they um the stand is roughly you know the building's about 500 I think it's about 510 ft with a small cooler building off the side of it of 38 that's about 900 square foot building um they primarily serve um 20,000 different flavors of drinks so um that ranges from coffee to tea Italian soda um they've Got shakes, smoothies, trying to think, there's a bunch of other stuff, too. Hot chocolate. So, you can kind of get whatever you need here. They're they're very busy. They have um they'll employ a bunch of people. Um somewhere in the range of 50 to 60 people will work at the stand. So, new jobs create. They um an average shift has somewhere around four to six people working. Uh a little bit differentiator for them. They they don't have a you know a menu board or anything like that Chick-fil-A that's got a similar model where you know somebody's going to come out and greet you take your order down and then you'll go through the queue order out to you. So um it's a pretty small site. Um we're we're working on a lot of landscaping to kind of shield like headlights and stuff like that. Um they drive a fair amount of traffic car-wise to you. Um but very active project. Uh we're hopeful to start here this fall, August, September. Build time on the project would be somewhere around four four months roughly for us to get it started and complete. Uh we finished one up in Vadness Heights. We're underway in one in Apple Valley which is pretty close to here. That one will open here uh middle of June roughly. So um trying to think if there's anything else that really sets it up, but they have a parking queue. Nine cars in the queue it can it can take um they'll roughly have see maybe about a thousand transactions per day, something like that. That's over some several different stores throughout their their demographic. So, um, I'm excited to kind of help them help them get roll these things out. It's just kind of refreshing. They're fast to build and and next thing you know, it's there's a lot of a lot of activity. So, um, we're happy to come here. Um, I think you'll I think you'll enjoy the product once we get here. So All I have to say for now, I guess.”

Introduction and overview of the 7 Brew Coffee project.

“Good evening, chair and commission members. This request is for property that's located east of Cedar Avenue. It's south of 175th Street in the Marketplace U development. The property is zoned M2, which is our mixeduse Cedar Corridor District. So, the request in front of you tonight is a conditional use permit for a convenience restaurant with a drive-thru in the M2 district and to allow a commercial building less than 2,000 square feet in size. The building itself, as mentioned, is about roughly 900 square feet. A little bit hard to see on this map, but right in this area, uh the building does comply with setbacks. There are two drive-thru lanes. The interior lane is about 150 ft of stacking space and then the exterior lane is about 190 ft of stacking space. Uh the building the main access point is from the south on a private drive. So it's not on directly onto Cedar Avenue. It's on the private drive internal of the plat. And then there's another shared access to the east. So parking is also shared with the lot to the east which will be a future multi-tenant building. So on this site alone there's 17 spaces and on the site to the east there's 75 spaces. So total there'd be 92 parking spaces which is in compliance with our code requirements. The applicant has submitted a revised landscape plan since your packet has gone out. So, they did add additional shrubs to have a continuous shrub line around the drive-thru so headlights will not go shining under the road to the north. And then they did add some additional trees as well. Uh forestry did review this and they just had a couple minor comments more about their plant their planting detail. Nothing about the number of trees or shrubs on the property anymore. But they do need to have final forestry approval before it goes to council, but I'm not anticipating that to be an issue. But as of right today, that condition will still stay in your packet or with the motion going forward. Uh storm water design on the site, you may not have seen anything in your packet and that's because it was actually approved with the plat itself with the marketplace at Cedar Plat. So the grading on the site will be approved then the final grading will be approved at the time of building permit. The building elevations are all mainly gradea materials which is in compliance with our code requirements. Um there's no indoor seating and there's also no outdoor patio seating. So their main focus as the applicant mentioned is that drive-thru service. So staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit with the six stipulations listed in your report along with the findings of fact. And as of right now, this is anticipated to go to council on May 18th, and we have not heard from any of the surrounding property owners. Thank you.”

Staff presentation on the 7 Brew Coffee conditional use permit.

“I have a question for the applicant. Um, if you wouldn't mind coming up. Um, I asked this of a lot of the warehouses that come in. Are you going to have uh your loading bay doors labeled some way to aid first responders in case there was an incident?”

Question to applicant about labeling loading bay doors for first responders.

“Okay. Um the next item on the agenda is a public hearing and uh if you wanted to speak um please let us know by signing up on the sheet in the back. Um unless you're the presenter and that's okay then you don't have to.”

After 7 Brew presentation, opened for public comment.

“Okay. Uh staff notices um here in the agenda that the two items mentioned above will be held uh considered uh May 18. The next planning commission meeting is scheduled for May 21st. And planning commissioner's memo. Do we have something here? There is a memo for us for our review somewhere. Here we go. Yes. Okay. So, if everyone take a note of that and uh with that we can adjourn. Thank you. Heat.”

Announcements regarding upcoming meetings and adjournment.

“Um, just a comment on that. Similar, it is fun getting to name those things. At MDOT, we name our storm water ponds that are in the MDOT system. Don't ask about the Simpsons ponds or things like that. So, yeah. Anyway, um, do like the fact that, um, you're looking forward to potential for future expansion on the site. I think that's a great thing to see. I know a lot of times when we see some of these things come for through, they're kind of maxed out on the site development already. Doesn't allow for any future expansion of the the business as it sits on that, which means they're going to have to move someday if they get larger. So, I like seeing the potential for future expansion on here. Um, also, we'll stay with the uh parking thing. Um, it's one of the things that we are always seeking to try and find a balance of enough parking but not too much parking um for a variety of reasons. Um, so that's why we have those caps written into city ordinance as as we do. Um, the explanation here and why they're doing what they're doing and why we have as many parking spaces as we do makes perfect sense to me and just getting all that kind of civil infrastructure built on site and in place at this time makes perfect sense. So, thank you, Commissioner Swson.”
