COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998 Council Member Lyden noted that driving through a park he had seen a very interesting, simple sign design entailing a square box with a heron cut out of it. Mayor Sullivan suggested that the City develop guidelines for use of the City logo, so it is not changed for every use. Mr. Wessel agreed and said that the logo is recognized and the City does not want to see it abused. Council Member Lyden asked if the sidewalks could be done in contrast to the brick on the building. Mr. Bulbulien explained that the sidewalks could be colored and they are considering it, but that would cost more money. He noted that the seal coating would be in a warm gravel. Council Member Lyden indicated that he really liked the idea of a paved sidewalk throughout the Town Center. Mr. Wessel reminded them of the budget constraints. Council Member Bergeson made a motion to approve the Civic Complex Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for Early Childhood Facility with conditions listed above and with the exception of Condition No. 12. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Village, Phase 2 Final Plat - Ms. Wyland explained that the City is requesting review and approval of the plat for Village No. 2. This plat consists of a replat of a portion of the Village No. 1 with the addition of the recently acquired County parcel intended to house the City Complex, future community center (YMCA) and village green. To facilitate construction of the City Complex, a platting of the parcel is required. The plat will consist of one lot, Lot 1, Block 1 which is 9.64 acres in size, and one outlot, Outlot A which is 18.4 acres in size. As future development occurs, the outlot will be replatted. The lot dimensions and area meet the requirement of the PSP Zoning District. Ms. Wyland continued stating that the City's Engineering Consultant, OSM, has reviewed the plat to insure the proposed extension of Town Center Parkway will fit within the design of the current roadway. The current roadway configuration is 80' to accommodate a landscaped median, the extension will not contain a median and is, therefore, proposed at 60' in width. Drainage plans have been developed for the site and permit approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District is expected on Wednesday, April 8. Easements will be provided over all wetlands as is required by Ordinance. Ms. Wyland advised the Planning and Zoning Board has approved the final plat with conditions. Staff recommends approval of this preliminary and final plat for The Village No. 2 with the following conditions: 1. Easements are provided as per the City Subdivision Ordinance along lot lines and wetlands/drainage ways. 2. Town Center Parking terminus contain a temporary cul-de-sac to allow adequate space for turning maneuvers. 12
