Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 30 April 1982 Page Two 1. Use. The applicant has changed the proposed use of the building some -. what, requesting that the downstairs portion of the building be used as a rental hall. Various opinions have been expressed by the Council and the Planning Commission as to the need and the desirability of a rental hall for this site. Since rental halls are not included within the R -B District as permitted or conditional uses, the Ordinance would have to be amended to accommodate such a use. We were directed to prepare a report and draft amendment for study by the Planning Commission and Council. In reviewing this amendment, the City must consider adequacy of parking, sale of liquor, etc. These items will be addressed in a separate report. In preparing the P.U.D. agreement, the City should specify acceptable uses of the building. If other uses are requested later, they should be subject to conditional use procedures prior to approval. 2. Structure Upkeep /Maintenance. The applicant has indicated that an owners agreement will be formulated and signed by both present and future owners. It will contain provisions for maintenance and upkeep of the structure and grounds. While we do not suggest that the City dictate what the appearance - of the structure should look like, we feel it is in the City's best interest to provide for consistency within the structure and the site. In this regard, the overall character of the structure should be maintained. The City should review the applicant's ownership agreement. If acceptable in terms of the preceding concerns, it should be attached as addendum to the agreement between the developer and the City. 3. Utility Service. Since ownership of the site will be divided, the City Engineer should comment as to utility service to the building, specifically whether separate utilities are necessary. 4. Park Dedication. Little Canada Ordinance No. 172 requires park dedication for projects involving subdivision of land. Under the terms of the Ordinance, the City can require either 10% of the land,or cash in lieu of land in the amount of 10% of the fair market value of the undeveloped land. An existing tennis court on the site has been a topic of discussion in the review of this project. While Mr. Krejci does not wish to dedicate the court, he is willing to enter into a long term lease agreement with the City which would enable City residents to continue using the court. 21
