Background
Staff report prepared by Shawn Kaye, Associate Planner
In 2000, the City Council granted approval for multiple buildings on one lot which included an existing restaurant/retail building and former Jiffy Lube building. The approval also included shared access/parking and approval for a minor auto repair (former Jiffy Lube). The applicant has purchased the property and is ready to begin construction on the second phase of this development.
Blaine Square Second Addition consists of five lots. Lot 1 is approximately .94 acres and a restaurant (Chipotle) is proposed for this lot. Lot 2 is approximately .69 acres and a restaurant (Popeyes) is proposed for this lot. Lot 3 is approximately 1.07 acres and the existing 7,164 multi-tenant building will remain on this parcel. Lot 4 is approximately .54 acres and the existing minor auto repair (former Jiffy Lube) will remain on this lot. Finally, a 3,292 square foot bank/office is proposed on a .83 acre parcel (Lot 5).
All accesses/driveways within this plat are considered private. Vehicles will be able to access the internal driveways via one access off Ulysses Street NE on the west side of the site.
Park dedication was previously paid with the original platting of the parcels in 1978.
The developer will be responsible for installation of sanitary sewer, water main, storm drainage improvements, streets/private drives with concrete curb and gutter, streetlights, sidewalks, traffic control signs, and all appurtenant items.
Site Plan approval will be required for this development before any work is performed on site. This will include the submittal of a Site Improvement Performance Agreement and the associated financial guarantee.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 21-109.
Strategic Plan Relationship
Not Applicable.
Board/Commission Review
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat.
There was a comment at the public hearing from a resident related to concerns with the level of traffic that would be entering and exiting the property. Staff stated they had reviewed the ingress and egress and understood this property was located on an inside curve. Staff indicated the site would have one “in” and two “outs” to assist with managing the traffic.
The Planning Commission had the following questions: when would construction begin on this project; if Chipotle would be closing their existing store on 105th Avenue; and if the site would be able to handle the restaurant drive through traffic.
The applicant hopes to start the project in June 2021. The project representative could not confirm at this time, but thought this Chipotle would be an additional location. The applicant explained Popeyes would have a drive through with two lines for ordering and merging into one lane for pick-up. Chipotle would have a Chipot-lane where customers could pick up online/pre-ordered food. The applicant and staff believe the layouts have adequate queuing for the drive through lanes.
Planning Commission review is not required for a final plat.
Financial Impact
Not applicable.
Public Outreach/Input
Notices of a public hearing on the preliminary plat were:
1. Mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the property boundaries.
2. Published in Blaine/Spring Lake Park/Columbia Heights/Fridley Life.
3. Posted on the City’s website.
4. Posted (sign) on the property with contact information for the Planning Department.
