Planning & Zoning Board November 13, 1996 V. ACTION ITEMS • A. 96 -30 PDO, Public Hearing Continuation - Twin Cities Townhomes, Apollo Drive Mr. Brixius reported that staff met with the developer on November 12, 1996, to discuss needed changes to the Twin City Townhomes project. Anoka County has granted additional access from Apollo Drive, and the developer has indicated his willingness to comply with most of the changes proposed by the City. One issue that is not resolved is the suggested density reduction. Staff agreed to reconsider the density issue after the other changes have been made. The developer felt that in order to revise the site plan for an accurate, detailed presentation to the Board, he would not be prepared for this meeting. Chair Schaps requested that the developer make a formal request to the Board for a continued public hearing in Tight of the mandatory 60 -day review period for development applications that is required by state law. Mr. Patrick Simons, Representative of Twin City Townhomes, thanked City staff for the productive meeting the previous day and stated that there will be a quality development on the site. He formally requested the Board to continue the public hearing to the December 11, 1996 Board meeting, when a fully revised site plan will be presented. • Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the continuation of the public hearing and was supported by Robinson. Motion carried unanimously, 6 -0. B. 96 -33 Amended Conditional Use Permit, 6221 Holly Drive, Teleport Minnesota - Public Hearing Ms. Wyland stated that Teleport Minnesota is requesting permission to construct a 10' x 20' equipment shelter with the placement of a 9.3 meter C -Band Satellite Antenna on their site. According to the zoning ordinance, towers higher than 55 feet require a conditional use permit. This request is not for a tower, but the site is under seven other conditional use permit amendments since the original one in 1984. A further change to the site requires an amended conditional use permit. Staff has reviewed the application and recommends approval provided the proper building permits are obtained, and that the conditions stipulated in previous resolutions for the conditional use permit and amendments are adhered to. Mr. Robert Juroszek, Engineering Supervisor, Teleport Minnesota, stated that as a result of increased business, they are seeking to add a 9.3 meter C -Band Satellite Antenna, which is the same type that was added last year. • Mr. Johnson asked how much more development the Teleport site can sustain.
