SPAID AIP PLANNING COORDINATOR 1 � �� July 24, 1975 /,�D � Mrs. Rose Ann Mix City Clerk Room 386, City Hall St. Paul, MN 55102 Dear Madam: This is written in response to the application of Antler Corporation for a permit to install a fast food restaurant on property located on the north side of Suburban between White Bear and Ruth Streets. This property is further described by the legal description on file. This matter was first heard by the Board of Zoning on June 5, 1975, at which time staff recommended approval contingent upon the developer's capacity to meet design standards and provided the site meets all the criteria for a fast food restaurant. After the applicant briefly,explained their operation, Marilyn Lantry asked that this matter be tabled pending the City Council's determination on the matter of McDonald's Restaurant on Suburban Avenue, as this may have a bearing on this matter. On the grounds that the City Council has shown some interest in the adjoining property, a motion to table this matter for two weeks carried unanimously. This application was again heard on June 19, 1975. Staff reported that the site meets all the criteria for a fast food restaurant and staff's recommendation was for approval of the plan as shown on the revised site plan. Representatives of the applicant explained the projected inerease in traffic which would be generated by their proposed restaurant. A motion was made and seconded to recommend approval of the permit. The motion carried by a vote of four to one. Mr. Rupp voted agai.nst the motion because he felt the traffic there was way out of proportion and thought the City should re-assess this commercial area. Plans received June 19, 1975, meet design standards.

II. Public Works Departments plans for handling the traffic situation in this area. (J. Smrka, B. Roettger, K. Schonberger) A) Short Term 1) Connection of Highway 61 to I94 (West of White Bear) that should reduce the amount of existing traffic flowing Easterly on Burns, and Northerly on White Bear Avenue past the Suburban Avenue intersection. 2) Installation of a special right turn lane off Suburban Avenue to Ruth to facilitate North/South traffic movement. 3) Semaphore light at Ruth and I94 ramp. B) Intermediate Term Installation of semaphore light at the intersection of White Bear Avenue and Suburban Avenue - if critical. C) Long Term The mapping and holding of necessary property for the future extension and connection of Suburban Avenue and Burns Avenue and Highway 61 in an Easterly linkage. D) Comment Suburban Avenue, East of Ruth does not, according to traffic engineers, carry an excessive amount of traffic - in relation to their guidelines and standards. - EXHIBIT II - I.

The chain of Arby's Restaurants is one, among'many, of the restaurants we service in the T1ain Cities area. For your reference, some of the other fast food restaurants we service are: Burger King, McDonald's, Perkins, Super Sam's and Red Barn. The purpose of our service is to help restaurant awners and managers evaluate their store and er�loyees regarding cleanliness, service, quality of food, and general attitude of the er�loyees toward the customer. In the past few years Arby's Restaurants have spent a great deal of time and effort working with our company to perfect their operation in all areas. The one point they have had us stress when shopping their store is the cleanliness of their building, both inside and outside. In an honest appraisal we can state that Arby's Restaurants rank among the top of the fast fobd restaurants we service. It has also been observed by our company that when a problem is pointed out on our reports, the problem is corrected i�r►ediately. As mentioned, our service also evaluates employees on their attitude and the courtesy shown to customers. The e�loyees at Arby's have maintained one of the most consistant levels of giving friendly, courteous service to the customer. As concerned citizens, we feel certain that Arby's Restaurants will continue to maintain the high standards they have set for themselves. Very truly yours, VANGUARD, Inc. � • V Susan M.

Bryan, Hummer, Willits and Rupp of the Board; Mr. Sipkins, Assistant City Atto�ney; Mr. McGuire and Mrs. Besemar� of the Planning Department Staff. ANTLER CORPORATION (ARBY`S) (7775) : An application for a permit to operate a fast food restaurant on property located on the north side of Suburban between White Bear and Ruth Street. Mr. McGuire gave the staff report and stated this matter had been tabled from the June 5, 1975, Zoning Board meeting. Subsequent to that meeting, a revised site plan has been received, which meet the requirements of the various City agencies. The site meets all the criteria for a fast food restaurant, and the staff recommendation is for approval of the plan, as shown in the revised site plan. Steve Rutzickr W-2052 First National Bank Building, reported that the site is zoned corrnnercial and their application for a fast food franchise meets all the criteria and requirements of the Ordinance. He attended a meeting with the Traffic Engineers and was told that upon the opening of the ramp on Highway 61 this would alleviate some of the traffic on Suburban. Also, the extension of Suburba� Avenue will bring the traffic count down some, how much they could not speculate. George Nadler, Executive Officer for Arby's in the Twin Cities, reported he spent some time discussing the traffic problem with three Engineers � in the Traffic Department and gave a summary on their findings. The most it would increase the traffic would be 3�0. A study that was done on a nationa) level indicated that their customers fequently live within ! 1� mile from the restaurant. Most of their customers come from the irt�r►ediate area, not from long distances. He said Arby's average daily customer count is 800, and their average daily car count is 295. A McDonald's Restaurant, he reported, generates about twice the car traffic. Mr. Nadler said he believed an Arby's Restaurant would not decrease the value of residential properties in the area. There was no one present in opposition to this permit. Mr. Willits stated he did not necessarily agree with the presentation as to the affect on the community and neighborhood, but the land is properly aoned and they have a right ta develop it. Mr. Rupp said he felt the traffic there is way out of porportion and that it is an unb�arable situation. The City will have to reassess the commer�cial area there. Mr. Bryan made a motion to recommend approval of the permit. Mr. Willits seconded ths motion and it carried by a vote of 4 to 1 with Mr. Rupp voting against the motion.

TEDESCO I wonder if I could ask one of the councilmen to move for reconsideration on the action taken yesterday with regard to Arby's Restaurant. I attended the beginning of the council meeting yesterday and asked Councilman Hozza's permission to be excused. I had made a commitment some months ago to provide free entertainment for some 250 senior citizens on the Jubilee boat yesterday. Because I was forced to leave early, I was chastised by one of my fellow councilmen for my absence. It was also my opinion, after discussing it with one of my fellow councilmen, that the matter would be laid over. If anyone on this council feels that I should not entertain senior citizens on my lunch hour and occasionally for a period that extends over the lunch hour, then I wish they would ask me to drop this activity. I have voted "no" on every fast food outlet on Suburban Avenue. I think I was out of the city on one occasion when the Burger King permit came to a vote. I would like the minutes to record a "no" vote for Arby's. This is consistent with my position for the area. Irregardless of the legality, I think any area that has exhibited such a high accident rate should not be subjected to more dangers. So far, I have noted four accidents this month on Suburban and Ruth. One was so bad a young lady was taken to the hospital by the paramedics. As to how my fellow councilmen vote, I feel you are entitled to vote as you please and I'm not questioning your reasons. At the same time, I do not appreciate my votes being questioned. With that I would just as soon drop the whole thing. , � � `i �`�.
