Dennis Dahlen, Attorney Representing Mr. Hall (4930 W. 77th Street, Suite 300, Edina) -He
stated that the go-kart facility is an inappropriate use for this specific location. He stated that
the applicants request does not meet the requirements for a CUP. He cited the following
reasons for not allowing the CUP:
■ The conditional use shall not endanger, injure, or detrimentally affect the use and
enjoyment of surrounding properties.
■ The use must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
■ Residential goals to preserve and maintain and/or strengthen the physical and visual
qualities unique to the community.
■ Developers are required to provide buffer areas between different non -compatible
land uses adjacent to each other.
■ For areas in the Urban Service District, the city has to develop programs to
maintain the integrity of its existing housing stock.

Mayor Klinzing stated that she is opposed to the go-kart facility at this location. She stated
that rezoning this property to commercial was appropriate but that the go-kart use would be
a detriment to the neighborhood.
Councilmember Kuester stated that the current vacant building is becoming dilapidated and
that it would be better to fill the building with a go-kart facility rather than let it sit empty for
an unknown amount of years. She stated that this property was always intended to be
commercial and the surrounding neighborhood was aware of the zoning classification. She
used the billiard parlor as an example of a business that residents were concerned about and
that it hasn't caused trouble.
Councilmember Tveite stated that this facility will not attract as much traffic as the previous
grocery store business. He stated that the revised Comprehensive Plan is intending to have
the zoning of this location be Highway Commercial. He is more concerned with the building
remaining vacant.
Councilmember Motin is concerned with the streets in the area being able to handle the
additional traffic. He is also concerned with the building remaining vacant. He stated that
the zoning should be Highway Commercial and that eventually he would like the residential
area to become Highway Commercial.
Councilmember Dietz stated that the traffic was far worse when there was a grocery store
and a liquor store at this location.
COUNCILMEMBER TVEITE MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR THE GO-KART FACILTY WITH THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
