MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 11, 2005 <br />that the proposed connection between this concept development and the <br />Tacheny Town Office site is adjacent to her town office uniC. She was <br />concerned about the impact on the parking spaces in front of her unit, and <br />suggested that if a connection occurs, it be located further to the east. <br />Desouky presented a letter from Renae Fry, another tenant of the Tacheny <br />Town Offices, opposed to the cross traffic connection. <br />Knudsen indicated that the City has received a letter from Azure <br />Properties expressing concern that the parking at the Tacheny Town <br />Office development is inadequate. <br />Matthews reported that he is a tenant of the Tacheny Town Offices, and <br />his business is the cause of the parking problems. Matthews reported that <br />he has 90 real estate agents working for him out of this location. He <br />recently purchased another building in White Bear Lake, and will be <br />moving 40 of the agents to thaC location. Matthews estimated that the <br />parking problems at the Tacheny project will be resolved within the next <br />two weeks when his agents relocate. <br />The City Planner noted thaC the Tacheny project was constructed under the <br />same parking standards as other town office project, yet this is the only <br />project generating parking complaints. The Planner appreciated <br />Matthews' explanation of why the problem is occurring. <br />Socha agreed with the suggestion made by Desouky that a cross access be <br />relocated further to the east. Desouky felt Che connection should be closer <br />to the pond. She also indicated that the connection may help alleviate <br />access problems in and out of the Tacheny site. <br />In summarizing the Commission's comments, Knudsen noted his concern <br />Chat Che Cown office development would preclude other redevelopment <br />opportunities in This area. He also noted the concern with the straight line <br />of buildings and the straight line of parking and the suggestion that a <br />creative alternative be developed and that future access to the property on <br />the south be provided. <br />ADJOURN Rheaume recommended that the meeting be adjourned. <br />Seconded by Wojcik. <br />Motion carried 7 - 0. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br />-10- <br />
