Planning & Zoning Board December 14, 2005 Page 2 Staff stated 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 the 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 center. 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 the staff. The staff also held the inaugural meeting of the Legacy Architectural Review Committee. Boardmembers Laden, Root, and Tralle attended and through a discussion with City staff, compiled a list of comments for the applicant. Staff is recommending this item be continued to the January 22, 2006 meeting so that the 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 11th meeting and the City Council would have to act on the item at the January 23rd meeting. Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to continue the YMCA Legacy at Woods Edge to the January 11, 2006 Planning and Zoning meeting and was supported by Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 4 -0. B. CONTINUED: PUBLIC HEARING, to Amend the Planned Unit Development for Legacy at Woods Edge to include signage criteria Staff stated the original signage criteria for the Legacy at Wood's Edge were removed prior to approval of the master plan. This was done so that the developer and City could create signage criteria that would address the advertising needs of the master development and future tenants; and be enforceable by City staff. Staff's approach of involving the developer throughout the crafting of these criteria has lengthened the process, but should remain in a more comprehensive product. As such, staff is recommending that the Public Hearing to continued to the January 12, 2005 Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to the January 12, 2005 Planning and Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 4- 0. • • •
