MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1995 Knudsen agreed it would make sense to move DeSoto Street further east when it is developed. The City Planner reported that there is 33 feet of right -of -way existing for DeSoto Street north of Allen Avenue. Slumberland should be required to dedicate an additional 17 feet so that there is a 50 foot right -of- way width. Garske asked if Slumberland would be changing the nature of their business. Slumberland replied that they would not. The additional warehouse space will ease crowding within the building. Garske recommended approval of the amendment to PUD Agreement to allow the construction of an over 40,000 square foot addition to the existing Slumberland building subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated October 6, 1995. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 4 - 0. ,ARCHITECTURAL The City Planner reported that Steve Grittman will be CONTROLS contacting each of the Planning Commission members to set up workshop meetings for the purpose of development architectural design guidelines. The Planner submitted a memo dated October 11, 1995 which lists specific design features which may be subject to City review and regulation, and suggested that the Commission use this listing to start thinking about the issue. DeLonais pointed out that the Council direction is that the Planning Commission will serve as the architectural design review board. DeLonais reported that there is a Community Pride Committee meeting scheduled for next week, and that Committee, as well as the City Council, will be asked for their input on architectural controls. Knudsen asked how architectural controls relate to the Rice Street /Little Canada Road redevelopment project. 2 Page 15
