Memo Conditional Use Permit - Hanus Bus Facility
...
C I T Y o F HOP KIN S
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 1, 1994
TO: Honorable MaYOrb!~d city Council
FROM: Tom Harmeni~7 'ommunity Development Director
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - HANUS BUS FACILITY
Attached is the staff report regarding the Conditional Use Permit
for the Hanus Bus Facility. Subsequent to the preparation and
reproduction of this report, staff completed additional analysis.
You will note that the Planning Commission recommendation would
allow a new access point for the Hanus Bus Facility. The
recommendation from the Planning Commission is that this access
would only be a right-in right-out arrangement.
In the morning hours, the buses from the Hanus facility generally
need to move in a westerly direction in order to complete their
routes. In the afternoon hours after the routes are completed,
the buses will move in an easterly direction back to the proposed
. new bus facility.
Due to the right-in right-out only arrangement, in the morning
hours it has been suggested, but not necessarily agreed upon,
that the buses would take a right out of the Hanus facility,
travel east to 11th Avenue, travel south on 11th Avenue to 5th
street South, travel westbound on 5th Street South, eventually to
Shady Oak Road. At that point the buses would apparently move
north on Shady Oak Road to County Road 3 and then westerly on
County Road 3 to their appointed routes.
It should be noted that as a part of the traffic considerations
undertaken regarding this matter there was no detailed analysis
completed on the impact this traffic arrangement would have on
the affected streets and intersections. In addition, no
discussions occurred with the City of Minnetonka regarding this
particular route.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, as well as the fact that no
formal route has been agreed upon, if the City Council were
interested in pursuing the Planning Commission's recommendation,
the staff would suggest that the Council consider laying this
matter over in order to allow for additional analysis to be
completed on the proposed traffic route.
staff will be in a position to discuss this item at greater
- length during the City Council meeting.
