PLANNING REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO: northwest associated consultants, inc. Little Canada Mayor and City Council Stephen Grittman- 1 July 1985 DeBace / Zilge 758.09 - 85.19 This memo is written with the intent to clarify some of the confusion in the. DeBace /Zilge subdivision proposal denied by the Council at the 26 June 1985 meeting. It was our understanding following the 12 June meeting that the prime complaint of the City regarding the proposal was the lack of frontage of the original lot 4. This was documented in our letter to Mr. DeBace on June 16, 1985 (copy attached). There did not seem to be any dispute with the develop- ment on the property, merely the configuration of the lots. This was apparently Mr. DeBace's understanding also, as he had resubmitted his proposal with the lots combined prior even to receiving our letter. It should be made clear that planned unit development can be used in subdivision procedures or building and zoning issues. In this case the PUD procedure was addressing the subdivision design, and it was our understanding that this is what was being rejected, not the eventual development itself. The size of the buildings were never addressed by the Council under this proposal. Thus, with Outlot D and Lot 4 combined, we presumed there to be no further complaints. An example of the application of the PUD to building standards is in the develop- ment of mini storage facilities. In such cases, many of which have been approved by the City, PUD is used to allow several principal buildings on the same lot. We had interpreted Mr. DeBace's proposal to be a similar application, following the requirement that the two lots in question be combined. The 30 percent require- ment refers only to accessory buildings. We were under the impression that the City approved of this planned unit development process and for this reason the accessory building rule never came up. In addition, as Outlot D is under Ryan Industrial Park PUD, such buildings have been considered in the past, as in the case of Peterson Maintenance. cc: Joe Chlebeck Thomas Sweeney Lowell Nagovsky poi 4-Pg 6 ,11' • 2 1985 4820 minnetonka blvd. minnea olis, mn, ste. 200 554J1TLE CITY OF p 610}\96-9420
