YMCA, page 5 illAs part of the land exchange to the YMCA, the city is requiring the dedication of a conservation easement. The ocation of this easement has not been finalized but will be included with the performance agreement for the site. Lighting The photometric lighting plan submitted with the application is in conformance with the minimum standards of Chapter 3.7 of the guidelines. A condition has been added that specifies the use of parking lot lighting in conformance with what has been required on all of the other sites within the development. Additionally, the lighting fixtures themselves must be submitted for review prior to this item being approved. The building itself will include some architectural and building entry lights mounted directly to the building. These fixtures will be used to highlight the building massing and will enhance the pedestrian environment. Additionally, as was discussed in the landscape section of the report, lighting fixtures are indicated within the `connecting walkway' area that is planned to connect the YMCA to the future building along the Town Center Drive street frontage; however, the design of these fixtures needs to be confirmed. Engineering The city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project is Short Elliot Hendrickson (S.E.H.), and a memorandum including all of their comments is attached to the report. Any outstanding issues will be addressed through the site performance agreement and building permit process prior to construction. • 'Final Plat Typical Planned Unit Development - Final Plan applications include a final plat for the site; however, since this property is currently owned by the City of Lino Lakes and not the master developer or the final occupant, the lot was platted as part of the Village No. 3 plat that was previously approved by the City Council. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed this application at the October 26th regular meeting. Their comments are attached and are addressed in the landscaping portion of this report. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this application at the January 11th regular meeting. They included conditions which have been either revised for clarification purposes or have been met with the submission of revised plans. Specifically, staff feels that the revised landscaping plans submitted January 12, 2006 satisfy the requirements and intent of the following six conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. 1. Staff will work with the developer to provide additional landscaping on the south side of the site. 2. The landscape plan shall be revised to indicate evergreen trees on the northeast corner of the structure as shown on the architectural renderings. 3. All landscaped and sodded areas must be irrigated.
