AGENDA ITEM 6.C.v <br /> • <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson <br /> MEETING DATE: October 24, 2005 <br /> TOPIC: Final Plan—Legacy Hotel (Country Inn and Suites) <br /> Legacy at Woods Edge <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a hotel within the Legacy at <br /> Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan <br /> consists of the building plans for the hotel as well as the final plat for the lot (Village No. 4). <br /> Though a Hotel is not currently listed as a permissible use in Chapter 3 of the Lino Lakes Town Center Design <br /> &Development Guide, included on this agenda is a staff initiated amendment to the Planned Unit Development <br /> to allow a Hotel as a permissible use in the commercial districts. <br /> `ALYSIS <br /> •Governing Plans <br /> This site is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is therefore subject to the Lino Lakes Town <br /> Center Design& Development Guide that was adopted by Ordinance 04-04 as part of the original Planned Unit <br /> Development for the site. <br /> The layout generally follows the original Legacy at Wood's Edge layout, with the exception of the combination <br /> of lots I 1 and 12 to create a single lot. The main entry of the building will be from the parking lot, which is <br /> atypical for this type of urban development. However, a secondary access is provided on the building front to <br /> service registered guests of the hotel. <br /> The proposed Hotel is located in a Commercial Land Use Area were acceptable Building Type is Commercial <br /> with a minimum number of floors for all uses of one and a maximum of 3. <br /> The Regulating plan of the development guide includes the required street framework, which is currently under <br /> construction as part of the city's improvements in the area. This will include the pedestrian streetscape as part <br /> of a future phase of construction. The plan also indicates a build-to line for this portion of that block which will <br /> require that the building be close to the edge of the street to create an intimate pedestrian environment. The <br /> Regulating Plan does not indicate any `Required Building Entries' on this site, nor any `Gateways'. However, <br /> an `Architectural Feature' is indicated on the plans at the point that Town Center Parkway curves to the east. <br /> 0 <br />
