• • • COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 24, 2006 DRAFT w { Formatted:! Centered Consideration of Resolution No. 06 -70, Amending the Planned Unit Development Conditional User Permit to Allow for Building Height in Excess of the District Standards and Revisions to the Site Layout, Apollo Landing, Paul Bengtson — Associate Planner Bengtson advised Equinox Development was previously approved by the City Council for a hotel that is proposed for lot 1 of the plan. The final plat application included the final building plans for the hotel as well as the final plat for the site. Associate Planner Bengtson stated the developer is now requesting to add an additional floor of rooms increasing the total to 113 rooms. This will mean a five story structure with a height of 46 feet. These heights are simply the roof deck height. Parapets will extend beyond that height; previously the parapet would have met the ordinance limit, while the current proposal will extend the parapets to 4.5 feet and 7 feet. Associate Planner Bengtson stated that because the original approval tied the height of the buildings in Apollo Landing back to the zoning ordinance; and because Section 3 Subdivision 4 Letter C which is titled "Height" requires a Conditional Use Permit to exceed the height standards of the zoning district provisions, this request is considered an amendment to the existing conditional use permit for the planned unit development on the site and an amendment to the planned unit development final plan for the hotel itself. Associate Planner Bengtson noted a fifth condition of approval has been added per the Council work session: All roof mounted equipment shall be screened from view. Councilmember Carlson moved to approve Resolution No. 06 -70, based on conditions in the staff report as well as the additional condition that all roof mounted equipment shall be screened from view. Councilmember Stoltz seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
