Planning & Zoning Board September 14, 2005 Page 15 Chair Rafferty opened the public hearing at 10:10 p.m. Staff stated the Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a single tenant restaurant within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists of the building plans for the restaurant building as well as the final plat for the lot (Village No. 4). Betty's pies is a full service restaurant that meets the intent of the City's vision for a family- oriented, neighborhood gathering place in the new mixed use downtown. Owners, Marti Sierber and Carl Ehlenz, run the Two Harbors, Minnesota, destination restaurant and this will be their first expansion into the metro area. Staff reviewed their analysis and recommended this be continued to the October 12, 2005 regular Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Mr. Nelson asked if there was any concern with outdoor dining. Mr. Bengston replied the City encouraged outdoor dining when it was appropriate so it created more of an urban feel, with a vibrant lifestyle for the area. He stated it was a matter of determining that all of the conditions could be met on the site. Mr. Pogalz asked where the outdoor furniture would be stored during the off - season. He asked if they did not have room to store the moveable outdoor furniture would they be required to move it offsite to store it, or store it inside the building. Mr. Bengston replied they would be required to store it inside the building, or offsite at a storage facility. Mr. Tralle asked if there would be sunken tanks for drainage in the parking lots. Mr. Bengston responded that was still included as a part of the plan. Mr. Grochala noted there was a different product out now and in this parking lot they will install a different system using some different drainage techniques. He noted the YMCA parking lot would still have the sunken tanks for drainage in the parking lot. The Board continued the public hearing to the October 12 regular Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Chair Rafferty asked for public comments. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to continue the Public Hearing to the October 12, 2005 Planning and Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Mr. Pogalz.
