Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2013 Page 3 111/ that he is looking forward to this project. He noted that they are pursuing other users, but have no commitments yet. They do anticipate future development. • • B. Planned Unit Development Final Plan/Final Plat for Lino Lakes Assisted Living Addition Katie Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Lino Lakes Assisted Living Addition. Staff explained that this project includes a Final Plan/Final Plat, Site Plan Review and a Variance. Ms. Larsen noted that vacation of a drainage and utility easement will be acted on by the council. Ms. Larsen stated that the applicant was not to attend the meeting but extended their excitement for the project. Staff noted that the application meets the seven criteria required to approve a variance. The connection between the buildings will be an enclosed walkway. The proposed additional will concentrate on memory care. Board member comments included the following: • Suggestion that the proposed shakes be expanded to a larger size. • Concern about the individual air conditioning units. (Staff is addressing.) • Concern about approving variances on a lot -by -lot basis. Not the best interest for the Legacy. Staff should consider amending ordinance requirements instead. • The design standards for the Legacy should be re- evaluated to avoid piece meal development. • Would like a 15 -foot setback requirement. • Would like to see additional benches along the pedestrian walkway. Staff noted that the city is working, with Landform to determine how this area can be repositioned to fit the current market. Staff is proposing to come back to the board with a plan later in the year. Staff added that the city is in the process of acquiring land and agreed that the development standards should be re- addressed. Mr. Wedel explained the relocation of the water main for this site.
