AGENDA ITEM V.A. • STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson P & Z MEETING DATE: December 14, 2005 TOPIC: Final Plan YMCA Legacy at Woods Edge BACKGROUND The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes YMCA has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a single tenant health club within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists only of the building plans for the YMCA, as the lot on which it is proposed to be built was already platted as part of the Village No. 3 final plat. The City of Lino Lakes formed a partnership with the Greater Saint Paul YMCA in 1998 to assist in the construction of a YMCA in Lino Lakes. In 2005 a contract was approved whereby the city agreed to provide 6.7 •acres of land, $1.5 million for construction, plus utilities to the site in exchange for a YMCA of approximately 50,000 square feet that includes a teen center, gym, indoor pools, cardiovascular /strength training area, aerobic studio, family program space and a child care area. In return, the YMCA agreed in part, to adhere to the principles of the Town Center Design Guidelines. This item was continued at the November 9th regular meeting and since this time the applicant has submitted some revised drawings for staff review. These drawings did not encompass a complete submittal and therefore a complete review could not be completed by staff. The staff also held the inaugural meeting of the Legacy Architectural Review Committee. Board members Laden, Root, and Tralle attended and through a discussion with city staff compiled a list of comments for the applicant. This letter is included as an attachment to this report. Unfortunately the city does not have reproducible copies of the submitted plans. They will be available for review at the meeting or at City Hall at any time. Staff is recommending that this item be continued to the January 11, 2006 meeting so that they applicant has time to address all of the comments they have received. The applicant was mailed a notice of extension for the review period which would now expire on February 8, 2006. This means that barring the applicant granting the city an extension the board would have to make a recommendation at the January 11t h meeting and the City Council would have to act on the item at the January 23`d meeting.
