Memo
October 5, 2001
To: planning Commission Members
From: Kris Danielson, Community Development Director
Re: Walgreen's Flan submittals
Please be advised that we received updated plans from Walgreen's this morning. I
am including these plans for your review. our city Planner will have any additional
comments available for you at your meeting of 10/11/01,
The plans were revised as a result of a meeting that was held with Dr. Kalinoff,
Walgreen's, Mr. Bradshaw, Washington County, MNDOT and City staff on Tuesday of
this week
At the meeting, it was determined that Washington County Traffic staff would allow a
second entrance off of Osgood Avenue because the frontage road is being closed as
part of this project. The addition of the second access addressed Dr. Kalinoff's
concerns that all traffic for the site was going to be routed towards the north access
that he shares currently with Bradshaw Funeral Home.
Walgreen's agreed at the meeting to stake the outer limits of their planned
improvements so that Dr. Kalinoff could easily see how their project might impact his
adjacent property.
At the meeting, MNDOT and Washington County Traffic staff were asked if changing
the parking at Walgreen's from 90 degree to angled parking would improve traffic flow.
They responded that they did not support angled parking for the site and believed the
traffic flow as presented would work well and not encourage cut through traffic.
