Planning & Zoning Board June 10, 2020 Page 4 APPROVED MINUTES Ms. Larsen clarified Outlot C would be review by the Planning and Zoning Board, however, the restaurant on Lot 2 would reviewed by City staff. Mr. Evenson stated he would prefer the Planning and Zoning Board review Lot 2 since it will be a focal point of the City. Ms. Larsen remarked City staff can add within the PUD component that any significant site plan review needs to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Root agreed with Mr. Laden’s comment about increasing the height of the parapet. He also agreed with Mr. Evenson’s statement regarding adding more color pallets to the exterior of the townhomes. Mr. Root said the original plan and its architecture had more interest and differentiation between different sections of the building. He specified the original design also had more windows and less balconies than the new design and overall, he preferred the original design. In regards to the building signage, Mr. Root stated the monument sign would be sufficient and he preferred Lyngblomsten not add the signage to the sides of the building because it detracts from the overall design. Mr. Reinert asked if the townhomes have access to the main building and its facilities. Ms. Larsen explained the townhome residents and the public in general have access to the main buildings’ facilities. Mr. Reinert inquired how much of the $375,000 for park dedication would be left over after the trail construction is complete. Ms. Hankee, City Engineer, clarified if the trail is extended to Woodridge Lane the trail construction would be approximately $50,000. Mr. Reinert questioned where the remaining $325,000 would be applied. Ms. Larsen commented Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director, had been working on a plan to apply the funds toward Woods of Baldwin Lake Park. Mr. Reinert wondered due to COVID-19, will the structure of and activities in senior housing facilities need to change going forward. Furthermore, he asked if Lyngblomsten was still optimistic about the project. Judd Fenlon, from Grand Real Estate Advisors representing Lyngblomsten, explained they are optimistic the markets will rebound and demand will continue for the foreseeable future with the aging of our population. In the meantime, Lyngblomsten would like to continue working with City staff so that when the market reemerges they will be ready to break ground. Mr. Reinert asked if a gateway sign would be included in the buildout of the corner.
