HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION
FOR McWILLIES
DECEMBER 17, 1990
The purpose of this item is to consider a
conditional use permit application from Jan
Ballard of McWillies Restaurant. The permit
is being requested pursuant to Sign Ordinance
83-5 Section 5-7-2Al1 which sets forth
regulations for Off-premises directional
signs. The applicant is requesting approval
to place five directional signs within Prior
Lake to direct traffic to Mcwillies
Restaurant. See application and attached
materials for further reference.
McWillies Restaurant operates under a
conditional use permit which was issued by the
City of Prior Lake in 1984. Prior to 1984,
the restaurant/tavern operated as a legal
non-conforming use within Prior Lake. The
surrounding neighborhood is zoned R-1/S-D and
is developed with single family homes.
McWillies is the only restaurant located on
Prior Lake.
Sign Ordinance 83-5 contains a provision
whereby an applicant may apply to the City
for a conditional use permit to locate
Off-premises directional signs within the
community in order to direct traffic to a
business that the City deems suffers a
hardship because of its location. No
businesses are allowed to display Off-premises
signs without first obtaining a conditional
use permit from the City. To date, the city
has granted only two Off-premises signs, one
for the Mdewakanton sioux Little Six Bingo
Palace and one for the Minnesota Horse and
Hunt Club. These signs are located at the
intersections of Columbia Avenue and County
Road 42 and Panama Avenue and S.T.H. 13
respectively.
The proposal by Jan Ballard is to locate five
blue and white signs "McWILLIES
4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
"
RESTAURANT-MARINA" within the city. Two signs
have been installed, by MNDOT on S.T.H. 13
right-of-way near the intersection of the
highway with C.R. 21. Attached find Minnesota
Department of Transportation Application for
Installation of Specific Service Signing on
Trunk Highways. Ms. Ballard has received
approval by MNDOT to locate two signs within
S.T.H. 13 right-of-way. The permit was issued
by Joel Katz on June 1, 1990. The State is
authorized by M.S. 160.292 to grant "Specific
Service Signs" for restaurants and resorts in
order to implement a system of signing for the
purpose of displaying service information to
the traveling public. The signs which are
approved by the State are standard size
rectangular sign panels that are blue and
white in color and measure 1-1/2 feet by six
feet. There are specific guidelines that are
applied by the state in the determination of
t~pes of businesses which are eligible for
s1gns under the statute. It is the policy of
MNDOT to check with the local municipality to
ensure that all appropriate local permits have
been granted to the business in question.
However, the State failed to secure this
information from the City of Prior Lake prior
to erecting the existing signs on S.T.H. 13.
In light of the statute and information
available concerning "Specific Service Signs"
staff did not require the applicant to remove
the two signs located within S.T.H. 13
right-of-way prior to consideration of the
conditional use permit by the Planning
commission and City Council.
In addition to the signs located on S.T.H 13,
the applicant is requesting that two signs be
located at the intersection of West Avenue and
C.R. 21 and one sign be located at the
intersection of West Avenue and Pleasant
street. The applicant has received an
approved sign permit from Scott County Highway
Engineer, Brad Larson, to locate two si9ns
within C.R. 21 right-of-way. The signs w1ll
be a standard blue and white and contain the
same wording as the signs which were erected
by the MNDOT. The sign proposed at the
intersection of West Avenue and Pleasant
street will be located at an intersection with
a stop sign, therefore the directional sign
can be much smaller than the signs located on
S.T.H. 13 and C.R. 21.
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation from staff is that the
maximum size sign should be 24" x 12" for the
intersection of West Avenue and Pleasant
street. This size sign is comparable to the
street signs which indicate directional arrows
such as those found on one way streets. staff
notified approximately 70 residents who own
property adjacent to the proposed sign
locations on C.R. 21, West Avenue and Pleasant
Street. There were few public comments made
at the Planning Commission hearing which was
held on November 15, 1990. Local business
persons representin9 Prior Lake Gas and
Grocery and Viking L1quor Barrel stated that
they often 9ive directions to people seeking
to find McW1llies and they supported granting
of the conditional use permit for directional
signs.
Approve the Conditional Use Permit as
requested.
Table a decision on the item pending
further study or information.
Deny the Conditional Use Permit
application for specific reasons.
The recommendation of the Planning Commission
is to approve the conditional use permit for
five off-premises directional signs to be
located within the City of Prior Lake as per
attached maps. Rationale being that the City
has determined that Mcwillies is an integral
part of the community by changing its legal
status from a non-conforming use to a
conditional use. McWillies is the only
restaurant on Prior Lake and there are no
direct access routes available for restaurant
traffic. The sign ordinance was written to
allow relief to certain businesses that lack
reasonable identification due to their
location. The signs should be granted subject
to the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.
1. That the signs be maintained in safe,
aesthetically J?leasing and good
structural condit10n at all times.
2. The maximum size of the sign to be
located at the intersection of West
Avenue and Pleasant Street not exceed 24"
x 12". The sign should be constructed of
cedar or redwood with routed letters.
Sign colors should be similar to the
color scheme used by McWillies. The sign
ACTION REQUIRED:
design, location and color scheme should
be subject to staff approval.
3. The signs not be illuminated.
Depends upon Council Discussion.

ITEM VI- JAN BALLARD
MCWILLIES' RESTAURANT - CONDITIONAL USE
Commissioner Kedrowski stated that he would abstain from any
participation and discussion on this item as he represents the
Lions Club in business transactions with Mcwillies Restaurant.
Jan Ballard, representing Mcwillies on the Lake Restaurant, 3570
Green Heights Trail, stated she is requesting a conditional use
permit to place signs on the highways to direct the public to
McWillies. A hardship does exist as the restaurant is not
visible from a major highway. The restaurant was established in
1907 and signs would help preserve the history of Mcwillies. It
is the only restaurant located on Prior Lake.
Horst Graser J?resented the information as per memo of November
15, 1990. S1gns would display the name of the establishment and
the State has approved 2 si~ns on Highway 13 near County Road 29.
Applicant is requesting 5 dl.rectional signs within Prior Lake to
direct traffic to McWi11ies. Recommendation from Staff is to
approve the conditional use application.
Dick Casey, Viking Liquor owner, County Road 21 and Highway 13,
and Jim Culton, 16554 Franklin Trail, Manager of convenience
store at Dakota and Main, support the sign application as they
have given directions to Mcwi11ies.
Comments from the Commissioners were on increased traffic
patterns, and different route possibilities.

ITEM VII PUBLIC HEARING CHRISTENSEN BUILDING CORP.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE APPLICATION
Public Hearing called to order at 9:45 P.M. by Chairman Arnold.
Public was in attendance.
Ted Schweich representing Christensen Building Corp., 2910
Multifoods Tower, 33 South 6th st. Minneapolis, MN, stated they
are requesting a conditional use permit and variance to construct
a proposed retail center, detached car wash and a three pump
island gas dispensary for the vacant .87 acres located on the
northwest curner of the intersection of S.T.H. 13 and Pleasant
Street. A conditional use permit is needed for the car wash and
an 18 foot variance for the pump island canopy and an 8 foot
variance for a 32 foot driveway. Mr. Schweich explained the
various businesses, traffic flow and parking plan proposed by
applicant.
Horst Graser presented the information as per memo of November
15, 1990 and gave a brief summary on the history of the subject
site. Perhaps some of the reasons this site has not developed is
access, traffic flow, soil conditions, market factors and
negative influences by other uses. This site is very visible and
should be developed to its highest potential to enhance the
appearance and image of this downtown block to give a positive
identity to the community. The charge to the planning Commission
is to determine if this proposal should be approved or if changes
should be made, deleted, and/or redesigned. The proposal shows
that virtually the entire lot is asphalt, parking is proposed on
public right-of-way which will need County, City and perhaps
