The <br />City Planner indicated that he would work with the developer on the <br />landscaping plan addressing the berm as well as screening along the north <br />property line. <br />Carson recommended approval of the PUD permit for the development of <br />the phase II office/warehouse building for Country Side Terrace Office <br />Park subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner <br />and the City Engineer, and recommending that the developer meet with <br />the ownership of the Quebec Apartments prior to the Council meeting to <br />work out a mutually satisfactory screening plan for the north side of the <br />property. <br />Motion seconded by Kraemer. <br />Motion carried 7 - 0. <br />REZONING TO The City Planner indicated that the owner of 433 Little Canada Road is <br />PUBLIC - requesting a rezoning of this property from Residential Business (RB) <br />433 LITTLE to Public (P) in order to locate a charter school in the building.
