Chair Rafferty continued the public hearing at 6:43 p.m.
Staff stated staff is working with the developer to come up with acceptable signage
criteria for the Legacy at Wood's Edge project. Staff had intended on presenting a draft
at this meeting, however, it has proven to be more difficult and time consuming than
originally anticipated. At this time a draft is not ready for review by the Planning and
Zoning Board. Staff is recommending that the public hearing be continued to the
November 9, 2005 Planning and Zoning Board Meeting.
Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to recommend continuing the public hearing to the
November 9, 2005 Planning and Zoning Board Meting and was supported by Mr. Nelson.
Motion carried 6 -0.
B. CONTINUED: Planned Unit Development Final Plan for Legacy at Woods
Edge
1. CONTINUED: Site Plan Review for Legacy Hotel
Staff stated the Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for
a hotel within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of
Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists of the building plans for the hotel
as well as the final plat for the lot (Village No. 4).
Though a hotel is not currently listed as a permissible use in Chapter 3 of the Lino Lakes
Town Center Design and Development Guide, included in this meting is a staff initiated
amendment to the Planned Unit Development to allow a hotel as a permissible use in the
commercial and mixed use districts.
The Planning and Zoning Board continued this item at the September 14th regular
meeting and offered up comments to both staff and the developer about the proposal.
Numerous revisions have been made to the plans and are addressed throughout this
report.
Staff presented their analysis and recommended approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. A site performance agreement between the city and the developer must be completed
prior to the issuance of building permits.
2. Issues discussed in the S.E.H. engineering review memo must be addressed to the
satisfaction of city staff.
3. Operation and maintenance agreements for the site, including provisions for stormwater
facilities, must be submitted for review by city staff prior to the issuance of building
permits.
4. The `gull wing' fixture (type EE and EE1 as shown on sheet C4.1) shall be changed to a
shoebox fixture. This fixture type will need to be approved by staff and used throughout
the rest of the parking area on this block, if not the rest of the project site.

5. A revised lighting plan indicating the above required fixture changes, and the relocation
of the luminaire near the south entrance drive further west must be submitted prior to the
issuance of building permits for the site.
6. The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) must be approved prior to City Council
approval of this building.
7. The developer must work with staff to identify the most appropriate location for bicycle
parking within this block of the development.
8. A minimum 2 inch deep window trim must be provided in accordance with the
development standards for the site.
9. All hotel room windows are required to be supplied with uniform internal window
treatments that will complement the architecture of the building.
10. The first floor windows shall be accentuated with additional trim features.
11. The brick base shall be raised to lessen the gap between the cap and the second story
windows.
12. The hotel building shall be moved closer to the Town Center Parkway right -of -way,
meeting a maximum setback of 15 feet.
13. The developer is encouraged to add an additional architectural element to the central
portion of the building to further strengthen the presence of the corner.
14. The landscape plan shall be revised to indicate four shrubs per tree within the north
planter island (adjacent to the Interstate 35W right -of -way).
Mr. Hyden inquired about the trash enclosure. He asked if cars were parked in the
parking lot, how would the garbage trucks get to the trash. Mr. Bengtson responded the
service vehicle would come in either direction and would need to pull the dumpster out
into the drive area and load the dumpster there.
Mr. Hyden asked if the trash could be kept inside the building. Mr. Bengtson responded
they could ask the developer.
Mr. Hyden noted the location seemed out of place where it was at.
Mr. Root asked why the five -foot maximum setback was there and should something be
changed. Mr. Bengtson responded that the reason the build -to line was in place was to
bring the buildings up to the street to create the downtown, main street feel. What was
being proposed is almost a residential use of the property and therefore having windows
directly on the sidewalk was not an advantageous situation. He noted this met the intent
and they had worked with the developer to address this issue.
Mr. Rafferty noted this was a Planned Unit Development that was recommended by the
Planning & Zoning Board in 2005 and asked why where they looking at the spirit of it
instead of looking at what the guidelines were. He stated it appeared they were jumping
ship and this was the first thing. He noted two months ago, there was no hotel and now
they had a hotel and they were being asked to look at the spirit. Mr. Bengtson responded
that these guidelines were approved in 2004, which was a long time ago and a lot of
things had changed in those guidelines. They had recommended approval of an
amendment as a use and at the time it was written, it was not taken into account where it
was located as well as how it would be implemented in a commercial area. This directly
lead to why it was not meeting the exact letter of the guidelines, but it was meeting the
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005
Page 4
intent. It should also be noted that this would keep the streetscape balanced with the
residential project that would be developed across Town Center Parkway.
Mr. Root stated when they did these types of changes, it was precedent setting so they
wanted to be clear if they were varying from what the guidelines were saying they had a
good reason. He stated it was important to know what the downstream effects were
going to be.
Mr. Root inquired about the architectural feature on the one corner of the building and
asked what would be appropriate there. Mr. Bengtson responded this was one of the
comments at the last P &Z meeting. As staff, we feel that the masonry materials, which
drew the attention to the center of the building, as well as the porch provided a fairly
substantial architectural feature. He stated that they encouraged the developer to do
more, as the board's comments from the September meeting had asked. He stated this
was up to the Board to decide, but as staff they felt the proposal met the standards.
Mr. Tralle asked why they wanted the front facing the freeway and to have the back door
into the City. He noted this was the same thing they did with Ryan where they wanted to
put the strip mall in and the entire back of the building faced the main part of town and he
did not like this. He indicated the front of the building should be facing into the City. He
believed this was backwards.
Mr. Laden stated it was important to stick to the original intent of the project. He asked
what was on the east side of the hotel. Mr. Bengtson responded that the property east of
this site was within a commercial district and early indications are that it would be best
suited for an office type use.
Mr. Laden asked if the office buildings were within the build -to portion of the
development. Mr. Bengtson responded there was a 50 percent build to line required on
the property east of the proposed hotel site.
Mr. Laden stated he believed he could accept the 1 5-foot mark, but nothing greater than
that, but he was concerned that even though it was a commercial use, it was a very
residential strip in an area that was intended to be commercial and stated it made sense
that the hotel have commercial on the first floor with hotel on the remainder. He stated
this proposal fell short.
Chair Rafferty stated he appreciated the developer going back to the drawing board, but
he was looking at this as the first phase of a project trying to be approved. He stated the
strength in the idea and concept of what the City was proposing and in a hotel going
forward was clearly indicated by the Board. It was was something that should be allowed
and that was the reason they gave their recommendation that this move forward to
Council. He stated he did not like the shingled roof and the trash enclosure. He stated
there was no strength in the porches at the end of the building. He agreed the building
was facing backwards. He stated he was not impressed with this development.
Mr. Bengtson responded that the way the staff report was laid out so the board would not
have to necessarily look at the design standards as they were going through the report.

He indicated it was not the intention of staff to calling out deficiencies, but rather
verbally explain what was what was shown graphically in the plan.
Chair Rafferty stated the report and information by staff was excellent and he realized
they were not pointing out a deficiency, but there were no strengths in the project and in
what was being proposed.
Mr. Nelson stated he had a concern regarding the back of the hotel facing the front of the
project and the trash enclosure also.
Chair Rafferty invited the developer to make comments.
Patrick Sarver, Hartford Development Group, stated they felt strongly that the
architectural feature that they had on the building effectively focused attention on the
corner of the building. He noted the evolution of the building has come a long way in
where it was at and what it has to offer the site currently. He noted there was a
significant difference in the architectural feature and in order to have it provide a strong
architectural feature in the center of the building, it needed some articulation in the face
of the building which provided some jut out and have it move forward. What they have
done was to add additional architectural features along the top of the feature. In his
opinion there was a good job in articulating the building and in having the opportunity to
move the building closer to the street and adding the porches added to the articulation of
the building. He indicated there was a serious traffic circulation issue as they came to the
round- about. He noted if the front door was at the location of the round - about, traffic
would be complicated because they would not be able to do a U -turn, or they would be
required to have a sign at the round about to indicate all hotel guests would need to turn
right in order not to complicate the traffic pattern. Chair Rafferty suggested they put the
drive up canopy on the side instead.
Chair Rafferty asked why could not have the driver's side facing the hotel instead of the
passenger side. Mr. Sarver responded they would need to cross traffic if they did that. He
noted the site was also of a narrow configuration and the building would need to be
moved back far enough that parking be allowed in the front of the building. He noted if
the building would be turned around, the parking area would also need to go with it. He
noted people going to the hotel were coming by car and they hoped they could get the
people out of their car to walking into the development to other commercial uses.
Mr. Root asked if there were some features that could be added to the back so it would
look more like the front of the building to make it look more impressive. Mr. Sarver
stated they needed a strong architectural feature to the center of the building and he
believed this was a fantastic corner.
Mr. Root stated his question was for the Board and clearly there was a concern from the
Board that this was not as strong of a feature as what was facing the freeway.
Mr. Tralle stated he would like to see some brick to the right to "dress" it up a bit more
and maybe add some brick detail in other areas a well. He noted this was going to face
the downtown and just the center brick face wasn't enough. He stated if they could put
some brick on the other end this would help. He noted he was not impressed with the
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005
Page 6
porches either and suggested they put more brick on the building. He indicated he would
not support this as it was being proposed.
Chair Rafferty asked if the surfaces were all on the same plane. Mr. Sarver responded
that they were not. He indicated there was a tremendous amount of articulation in the
building. He agreed that the idea of adding brick to the other side was a good one to put
some depth into the building.
Chair Rafferty asked if there was benefit to using a darker band at the top to make it look
like there was a cap. He asked if this would be too much. Mr. Hyden responded in his
option, this would give the building more of a sport look.
Mr. Root noted there was clear definition in the other buildings and he liked Mr. Tralle's
suggestion.
Mr. Sarver noted when they had an opportunity to create a focal point, they did their best
to create the focal point and if they added additional features, it would pull away from the
focal point. Chair Rafferty indicated he understood their concern, but he did not believe
Mr. Tralle's suggestion would take away from the focal point. He stated they were not
only looking at the focal points, but also at the strength the building had to offer and they
wanted a strong statement into the entrance of the complex. He stated they were looking
for avenues that would allow them to live with a good development.
Mr. Sarver stated that on the street side of the building by adding the brick to the gabled
end the building, the gables would not be balanced and by having the brick element
centered, this was an asymmetrical form.
Wanda Kraemer, representative of GCI Builders and the ownership group of the hotel,
presented the background of the hotel proposal. She noted porches were a part of the
Country Inn and Suites attempt to have two fronts to the building and yet work with the
streetscape also. She stated they believed this looked good and was what they wanted
and she was surprised that they did not want the building positioned this way. She stated
they believed they were trying to work with the City and staff to have a development that
was what the City wanted. She indicated they were open to ideas, but they have been
trying to work within the City's guidelines.
Mr. Laden asked if Country Inn & Suites had ever had a commercial development in their
hotels. Ms. Kraemer responded they partner with TGI Fridays, but the building was
attached and it was not a part of the hotel specifically.
Mr. Laden asked if that was ruled out for any reason in this project. Ms. Kraemer
responded it was not ruled out, but they knew the City had other restaurants coming in.
However, they were open to this suggestion.
Mr. Laden noted this was a pedestrian oriented development and if he was staying in the
hotel, he would not like to go through the pool area. Ms. Kraemer stated she did not
know how many people would go through the pool area of the hotel, and she believed a
lot of people would use the side doors.

Mr. Laden asked if the hotel had elevators. Ms. Kraemer responded it did.
Mr. Laden stated it would not sit well with him to go through the pool to get to the main
part of town.
Mr. Tralle stated he did not like the shutters that had been previously proposed and he did
not care what Country Inn and Suites had to have as a corporate image. He stated the
citizens had to look at what was built and they knew what they wanted. He stated they
wanted more brick on the building and while he did not like the way the building sits, he
was not going to ask them to turn the building around as long as they were willing to put
some changes in, specifically along the gabled in and the porches also. He stated the
porches needed some "tweaking ". He stated just because corporate American wanted
something, did not mean they had to have it. He stated they were not going to skimp at
this point. He stated if they heard what the Board was saying and made the proposed
changes, this would go a long way in getting this approved. Ms. Kraemer stated they did
hear the recommendations and they would take this back and evaluate the suggestions.
Chair Rafferty stated he did not like the shingled roof and he wanted a standing seam roof
to match the rest of the buildings in the area.
Mr. Laden agreed the standing seam roof would fit nicely on the building and while the
rest of the building had come up on quality from last month, the roof had not.
• Mr. Tralle stated the standing seam roof would fit better in the area.
•
Chair Rafferty noted they had looked hard at what was going on in the City and he also
wanted the trash enclosure to be attached to the building. He stated he would not agree
with a trash enclosure sitting in the middle of the parking lot. Mr. Tralle stated he agreed
and noted the Betty's Pies had their trash enclosure inside. Frank Janes, General Counsel
Hartford Group, stated a couple of the ideas could be put into the development,
specifically adding more brick. However, with respect to the roof and trash enclosure,
one of the issues was the design standard as to what was allowed and not allowed.
Chair Rafferty noted they have design standards that were functioning and that he could
not see that they would drop the idea of a standing seam roof. He stated a standing seam
roof and the trash enclosure did fall within the design standards.
Mr. Janes asked for guidance from the Board as to whether this would get approved with
recommendations or give them criteria as to what they wanted as part of the project.
Chair Rafferty asked if they were able to work with the fourteen recommendations by
staff. Mr. Janes responded he believed they could and believed these were commonplace
recommendations. He noted one of the concerns was the setback and in order to move
the building closer, the porch would have to go away. He asked what other conditions
might be added to move forward.
Chair Rafferty inquired about landscaping and asked if this was part of the
recommendations. Mr. Bengtson stated the landscaping would need to be sprinkled and
they could add that as a condition of approval.
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005

Mr. Laden asked if they would be able to accomplish the 15 -foot setback. Mr. Janes
stated it was their point that moving the building up to the street, the porch had to be
removed; otherwise the porch would go out into the sidewalk.
Mr. Laden stated only a certain percentage had to be moved closer to the street and not
the entire building. Mr. Bengtson responded rather than the way it was currently
configured, stepping back from the right -a -way; staff had discussed having it step toward
the street frontage, which would come into compliance with the 50 percent build -to line.
He noted the builder had indicated they would work with staff on this. He stated it was
not their intention that the entire building be moved forward.
Mr. Laden encouraged staff to work with the developer to bring portions of the building
toward the street. Chair Rafferty stated he did not want to see everything on the same
plane however.
Mr. Tralle stated since this was a hotel and the patrons of the hotel did not want to be on
street level. Mr. Laden noted the apartments were required to meet the 15 foot build to
and he believed this development should also have to meet this too.
Mr. Tralle stated when they made some of the standards, they did not take into account
that this would be a hotel at some point and he agreed if this was going to take away from
the front being staggered, that was not appropriate.
Chair Rafferty asked if there was something staff could do to meet the criteria that was
set forth by the standards, and if that meant the degree of the building's angle was to be
changed, then to do it. Mr. Bengtson responded staff understood this and they also
wanted to go more in that direction as well and they would ensure that was done.
Mr. Janes indicated they were willing to work with staff to meet those criteria.
Chair Rafferty stated as condition number 15, all landscaped and sodded areas must be
sprinkled.
Mr. Janes noted the plans detailed that all landscaped areas would be irrigated and they
intended to comply with it, but if they wanted this as a recommendation that was fine, but
it was in the plans.
Mr. Pogalz asked if they were looking to send them away with a list of recommendation
tonight, or to bring this back at the next meeting. Mr. Bengtson responded staff had
worked well with the developer and he did not see any problem with conditions requiring
that staff work with the developer prior to this being brought to the City Council.
Mr. Pogalz stated in the past the Board had wanted to see things and he asked if they
wanted staff to work directly with the developer on this without seeing this again, or did
they want this brought back for another review.
Mr. Nelson stated he wanted a condition for the roof and the trash, and that would be
enough for him.

Chair Rafferty stated he was a firm believer that he wanted to see things before they were
approved, but he had no problem with this going forward if the remainder of the Board
believed staff could work directly with the developer without further review. He noted
the plans still had to change before this went to Council. Mr. Bengtson responded staff
was comfortable working with the developer with recommendations given by the Board.
He noted everything they had asked the developer to look at they had addressed.
Mr. Laden stated personally he preferred to look at this again, but he was willing to move
forward on this. However, given what they were presented last month compared to what
they have this month, he believed they were working well with staff.
Mr. Pogalz asked if they were willing to move the trash enclosure. Mr. Janes stated they
could not make a promise on this at tonight's meeting, but they would work with staff on
this to see if that recommendation could be implemented. He noted the architect and
owner needed to look at this to determine how it would change the design of the building
and the cost as well.
Mr. Pogalz stated that concerned him because if they determined that this was not going
to work, the trash enclosure would be left in the parking lot. Mr. Nelson asked if this was
a condition, didn't it have to be met.
Mr. Pogalz stated the first time the board would find out it wouldn't work was when it
was built in the parking lot. Mr. Janes noted the City Council would also have to take
this into consideration and that was the process they had to work under. He noted they
wanted to work well with the City because of future developments being proposed.
Mr. Hyden stated he liked what he saw overall and it was a strong change over last time.
He stated he did not understand why the pool was located where it was at, but he realized
he was not the expert and if the hotel deemed this was a good location, he agreed with it.
However, he did not like their response to the trash enclosure. He stated in order to get
what they wanted, they were required to say no and he did not want to say no to this, but
he wanted to know where it would go. Mr. Bengtson stated integrating the trash
enclosure in the building was not specifically written in any ordinance or guidelines.
Mr. Hyden stated overall he was not unhappy with the recommendations, but he was not
happy with the trash enclosure staying where it was at.
Mr. Tralle stated there was no reason they could not put a one story trash area on the east
end. He noted with the trash enclosure located at that point, they would only be using
two parking stalls. Chair Rafferty noted this was the closest, easiest route; unless they
wanted to put it on the other wing. He noted either way they would have to go down a
long corridor and he liked this recommendation.
Mr. Tralle stated if they met the trash enclosure suggestion, he could approve this project
with the recommendations. He noted everyone felt strongly about getting the trash
enclosure out of the parking lot, and that they had to meet that recommendation or this
would not get approved and they would have to come back to the Board. He thanked
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005
Page 10
them for taking off the shutters on the building and noted it had come a long way from
the previous proposal.
Mr. Root stated every effort should be made with respect to the trash enclosure, but he
did not see anything being so critical that they needed to stop action and he believed the
developer could work with staff and staff knew what the Board's feelings were with
respect to everything. He stated he was comfortable letting staff handle the issues.
Mr. Nelson stated he was comfortable that they could move ahead with conditions. He
stated if the Board felt strongly with all of the conditions, they needed to add the words
must be, or shall be. Chair Rafferty stated that was a great point and stated he would like
to add that wording to the recommendations.
Mr. Laden stated they could word the conditions as strongly as they wanted, but they
were only recommendations and could they be legally enforced.
Chair Rafferty stated condition 15 would read: All landscaped and sodded areas must be
irrigated.
Chair Rafferty stated condition 16 would read: The developer is encouraged to use a
standing seam metal roof.
Chair Rafferty stated condition 17 would read: Trash enclosure must be enclosed and
attached to building.
Chair Rafferty stated condition 18 would read: The gable end visible from Town Center
Parkway, on the east wing of the building, shall be clad in brick.
Mr. Janes stated they understood the conditions as noted by the Board.
Ms. Kraemer asked if there was a concern with snow coming down the metal roof in the
winter. Chair Rafferty indicated there might be some sidewalk issues, but he wanted to
leave the condition as noted.
Mr. Pogalz noted there were retail areas in the Cities that had metal roofs and snow was a
big problem and he knew there were accessories they could put up that would assist with
the snow coming off the roof, but it was a good point because they were talking about
pushing this building as close to the sidewalk as possible and the slope of the roof might
allow some of the snow to slide off of onto the sidewalks and he was glad this was
brought up.
Mr. Nelson stated he was willing to change the condition to work with staff to look at the
safety issue.
Mr. Pogalz stated they could use another material also and there many options other than
metal or shingles, but he did want an upgraded roof.
Mr. Janes noted the townhomes across this proposal would probably have shingled
buildings and he did not want to set a precedent that all of the buildings in this area would
•

Page 11
be metal. Chair Rafferty stated all of the buildings currently in the area were metal and
metal roofs were everywhere including places where there were sidewalks. He stated he
did not know what other alternatives there were. He stated he was hearing a metal roof
should be strongly considered and working with staff rather than it being a must.
Chair Rafferty stated if this needed to be a shingled roof to have it a 50 -year roof so there
was some depth to it.
Phil Carlson, stated he had 30 years experience in commercial roofing on both flat and
pitched and there were metal roofs on buildings and there was a lot of materials that are
called snow guards which stopped an avalanche from happening. He stated what they
were worried about was a 12 inch snow fall and a snow guard would stop any avalanche
that might occur. He stated the snow guards were about $5.00 a piece.
Chair Rafferty stated the wording as it stands would change from must that the Board
wanted "strong" consideration to get a metal, standing seam roof on the building and
define the proper components that would give them safeguards in the winter time.
Mr. Bengtson noted they also needed amended condition number 4 in their
recommendations to read as follow: All parking lot lighting fixtures and poles shall be
painted to complement the city's decorative street lighting; shall be mounted to round
lighting poles measuring no more than twenty feet in height; shall be mounted to a
concrete base no higher than twenty -four inches above the surrounding grade; and shall
be located within landscape planter islands.
Mr. Root made a MOTION to recommend Site Plan Review for Legacy Hotel subject to
the conditions 1 through 14 as noted in staffs October 12, 2005 report, adding conditions
15 through 18, and amending condition 4 and was supported by Mr. Hyden. Motion
carried 6 -0.
Chair Rafferty recessed the meeting at 8:33 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:41 p.m.
2. CONTINUED: PUBLIC HEARING for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow for outdoor dining, and a Site Plan Review, for Betty's Pies
Restaurant
Staff stated the Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for
a single tenant restaurant within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the
southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists of the
building plans for the restaurant building as well as the final plat for the lot (Village No.
4).
Betty's Pies is a full service restaurant that meets the intent of the City's vision for a
family oriented, neighborhood gathering place in the new mixed use development.
Owners Marti Sieber and Carol Ehlenz run the Two Harbors, Minnesota, destination
restaurant and this will be their first expansion into the metro area.
Planning & Zoning Board

The overall area of the building will be 7,935 square feet. The majority of the building
itself is single story, with the exception of an office area which is located over the center
section of the building.
The Planning and Zoning Board continued this item at the September 14th regular
meeting, and offered up comments to both staff and the developer about the proposal.
Numerous revisions have been made to the plans and are addressed throughout this
report.
Staff presented their analysis and recommended approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. A site performance agreement between the City and the developer must be
completed prior to the issuance of building permits.
2. Issues discussed in the S.E.H. engineering review memo must be addressed to the
satisfaction of City staff.
3. Operation and maintenance agreements for the site, including provisions for
stormwater facilities, must be submitted for review by City staff prior to the
issuance of building permits.
4. The `gull wing' fixture type shall be changed to a shoebox fixture. This fixture
type will need to be approved by staff and used throughout the rest of the parking
area on this block, if not the rest of the project site.
5. The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) must be approved prior to City
Council approval of this building.
6. The developer must work with staff to identify the most appropriate location for
bicycle parking within this block of the development.
Mr. Pogalz asked if the applicant owned the building and the land, or just the building.
Mr. Bengtson responded they would be dividing a lot that would encompass the building
as well as some of the parking area. The rest of the parking lot and drives would be
within an outlot that would be maintained in part by each lot owner. The area of outdoor
seating would be owned by Betty's Pies.
Mr. Pogalz noted in this climate, pavers could be a maintenance headache and while he
liked pavers, he would recommend a colored concrete or stamped concrete in lieu of the
pavers.
Mr. Root stated this was a terrific looking plan. He inquired about the west entry access.
He noted it appeared to be close to the street radius and he asked if it was possible to
move it farther to the west to the end of the lot. Mr. Grochala responded the driveway
access was already set and the curb and radius had been poured already. He noted there
was probably more room there than was indicating on the plan. He stated it met the line
of sight standards.
Chair Rafferty inquired about the circular structure on the plans. Mr. Pogalz responded
that was the decorative pavement band.
Chair Rafferty inquired about the fencing on the trash enclosure area on the west side of
the building. He asked the developer to come forward.

Patrick Sarver, Hartford Group, responded because of the grade of the driveway it sloped
down substantially and because of that they had a delivery access, so that was a graphic
illustration of a safety rail. He noted there would be a slight ramp there.
Chair Rafferty inquired if the roof structure was flat. Mr. Sarver responded it was, but
there were portions that had roof structure.
Mr. Sarver presented the color scheme of the building for the Board.
Mr. Pogalz noted to pay a little bit more up front for colored concrete, rather than putting
in pavers, would be worth the cost in the long run.
Chair Rafferty asked the developer if they were okay with the conditions. Mr. Sarver
responded they were in agreement with the conditions.
Chair Rafferty opened the public hearing at 9:20 p.m.
There were no comments made.
Mr. Laden made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 9:21 p.m. and was supported
by Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 6 -0.
Chair Rafferty inquired about condition number 4. Mr. Bengtson responded number 4
should be amended to read as follows: All parking lot lighting fixtures and poles shall be
painted to complement the city's decorative street lighting; shall be mounted to round
lighting poles measuring no more than twenty feet in height; shall be mounted to a
concrete base no higher than twenty -four inches above the surrounding grade; and shall
be located within landscape planter islands.
Mr. Laden made a MOTION to recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit to
allow for outdoor dining and a Site Plan Review, for Betty's Pies Restaurant subject to
the conditions as noted in staff's October 12, 2005 report and amending condition four as
noted and was supported by Mr. Root. Motion carried 6 -0.
3. CONTINUED: Site Plan Review for Lakewood Apartments
Staff stated the Hartford Group has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for
an apartment building with first floor multi -tenant retail within the Legacy at Wood's
Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The
final plan consists of the building plans for the apartment building as well as the final plat
for the lot (Village No. 4).
One of the goals of the mixed use downtown is to provide a variety of housing types and
costs to meet life cycle housing needs that are not currently available in Lino Lakes. The
development agreement between the Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority
(EDA) and Hartford Group, the developer of the workforce housing, includes housing
covenants. Those housing covenants include an affordability clause that requires that 20
percent of the housing units built on the development property as a whole must meet
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005
Page 14
affordability requirement. Of that 20 percent, 67 percent must be rental units that meet
the income and rent requirements for federal low income tax credits. This 60 -unit
workforce rental housing meets the 67 percent requirement.
In addition, affordable rental housing must meet the following requirements:
1. The developer must retain an experienced, professional property manager,
approved in writing by the EDA.
2. The management agreement must require that the manager will use resident
selection criteria that include evidence that tenants have income to support their
rental rate, rental history showing timely payment of rent, and criminal
background checks.
3. The management agreement must include a plan for long -term maintenance and
repair of the property.
The Planning and Zoning Board continued this item at the September 14th regular
meeting, and offered up comments to both staff and the developer about the proposal.
Numerous revisions have been made to the plans and are addressed throughout this
project.
Staff presented their analysis and recommended approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. A site performance agreement between the City and the developer must be
completed prior to the issuance of building permits
2. Issues discussed in the S.E.H. engineering review memo must be addressed to the
satisfaction of City staff.
3. Operation and maintenance agreements for the site, including provisions for
stormwater facilities, must be submitted for review by City staff prior to the
issuance of building permits.
4. The `gull wing' fixture shall be changed to a shoebox fixture. This fixture type
will need to be approved by staff and used throughout the rest of the parking area
on this block, if not the rest of the project site.
5. A revised lighting plan indicating the above required fixture changes, and the
relocation of the luminaire near the north entrance drive further east to avoid a
conflict with the garage opening must be submitted prior to the issuance of the
building permits for the site.
6. The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) must be approved prior to City
Council approval of this building.
7. The developer must work with staff to identify the most appropriate location for
bicycle parking within this block of the development.
8. A full recycling plan must be submitted for staff review prior to this item being
heard by the City Council.
9. A minimum 2 inch deep window trim must be provided in accordance with the
development standards for the site.
10. The developer is required to add an additional architecture element to the central
portion of the building to further strengthen the presence of the corner.
11. All units within that will complement the architecture of the building.

12. The landscape plan shall be revised to indicate four shrubs per tree within the
north planter island (adjacent to Interstate 35W right -of -way).
Mr. Laden inquired about the enforcement of the residential build -to line. Mr. Bengtson
explained the details of the plaza feature or pocket park that allowed the proposed
building to meet the spirit and intent of the build -to line requirements. Mr. Pogalz asked
about the treatment of the grade change for the plaza. Shawn Knoth, Hartford Group,
responded the treatment would be a combination of grade and retaining wall.
Chair Rafferty inquired about the type of windows being used. Frank Janes, Hartford
Group, responded this was the first this had come up when they received the report. He
stated because this was going to be a rental project, there would be a standard blind and
the rental agreement would state that certain types of window treatments would and
would not be allowed.
Chair Rafferty asked if they had considered the blinds "sandwiched" between glass. Mr.
Knoth responded that was a substantial upgrade.
Chair Rafferty noted the Eagle product was similar to Pella and this would be a good
solution to look at. He strongly suggested the developers look at that avenue.
Mr. Pogalz asked if they were proposing to use Hardy Board around the perimeter of the
building. Mr. Knoth responded that was correct.
Mr. Pogalz asked if they had considered other type of siding. Mr. Knoth responded they
had looked at other materials, but had chosen the Hardy Board as the siding. Mr. Knoth
reviewed for the Board all of the materials being proposed to be used on the building.
Mr. Tralle asked what the balconies would be constructed of. Mr. Knoth responded they
were aluminum, but management would not allow grilling on the balconies.
Chair Rafferty appreciated what they had done with the balconies with respect to
enclosing them as much as possible. He noted this added a lot of character.
Chair Rafferty asked what type of air conditioning units would they building have. Mr.
Knoth responded there would be a central air conditioning unit and there would be no
wall hung units.
Chair Rafferty inquired about the elevations. Mr. Knoth explained the building
elevations for the Board.
Mr. Pogalz asked how Hartford would get this building built, i.e. a hard bid environment,
through the builder's exchange, etc. Mr. Janes responded the building was being
constructed through tax credits and they were taking it out to bid with a minimum of
three contractors. He noted in order to qualify for the financing; the rent had to be
affordable.
Mr. Pogalz asked if the contractor list was a select list, or if it was open. Mr. Sarver
replied they were not putting it out for a public bid and they were using contractors they
Planning & Zoning Board
October 12, 2005
Page 16
had used in the past or had been referred to them, but they had to be an approved MHFA
contractor. He noted each project would be bid independently also.
Mr. Pogalz asked what would happen if they received bids over the anticipated cost. Mr.
Janes responded they would need to revise their plans and come back for approval.
Mr. Knoth noted there would probably be minor revisions in size, but the interior
materials would probably stay the same. He noted with MHFA financing and the
financing constraints, this had been thoroughly reviewed.
Mr. Pogalz asked how soon they would be looking to construct for any of these projects.
Mr. Janes responded the hotel group wanted to break dirt immediately after closing after
City Council approval and he anticipated they would be starting construction in the
beginning of November, as well as Betty's Pies. With the financing hoops to be jumped
through on this project, they hoped to start construction the beginning of the year.
Chair Rafferty asked if they agreed with all of the conditions. Mr. Janes responded they
agreed with all of the conditions.
Chair Rafferty suggested landscaping and sodded areas must be irrigated as a condition.
Chair Rafferty inquired about condition number 4. Mr. Bengtson responded number 4
should be amended to read as follows: All parking lot lighting fixtures and poles shall be
painted to complement the city's decorative street lighting; shall be mounted to round
lighting poles measuring no more than twenty feet in height; shall be mounted to a
concrete base no higher than twenty -four inches above the surrounding grade; and shall
be located within landscape planter islands.
Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Site Plan for Lakewood
Apartments subject to the conditions as noted in staff's report, amending number 4 as
stated by staff, and adding condition 13 that all landscaping and sodded areas must be
irrigated and was supported by Mr. Hyden. Motion carried 6 -0.
4. CONTINUED: Final Plat for Village No. 4
Staff stated Hartford Development, Inc. has submitted the final plat for Village No. 4,
which encompasses Outlots A, and E of Village No. 3. The submitted plat depicts 7 lots
and three outlots.
Block 1 will consist of four lots. Lot 1 is intended for the apartment /retail building, and
Lot 4 is intended for the hotel (both buildings are a part of the meeting). Lot 2 and 3 (and

B. Planned Unit Development Final Plan for the Chain of Lakes YMCA, 7690
Village Drive
Staff stated Rice Creek Chain of Lakes YMCA has applied for a Planned Unit
Development final plan for a single tenant health club within the Legacy of Wood's Edge
project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate 35W and Lake Drive. The final
plan consists only of the building plans for the YMCA, as the lot on which it is proposed
to be built was already platted as part of the Village No. 3final plat.
The City of Lino Lakes formed a partnership with the Greater Saint Paul YMCA in 1998
to assist in the construction of a YMCA in Lino Lakes. In 2005 a contract was approved
whereby the city agreed to provide 6.7 acres of land, $1.5 million for construction, plus
utilities to the site in exchange for the YMCA of approximately 50,000 square feet that
includes a teen center, gym, indoor pools, cardiovascular /strength training area, aerobic
studio, family program space and a child care area.
In return, the YMCA agreed in part, to adhere to the principles of the Town Center
Design Guidelines.
The plans submitted indicate a first phase of development that will include 39,252 square
feet of area spread over two floors. Future phases are proposed to include a gymnasium
expansion of approximately 4,200 square feet and a swimming pool (natatorium)
expansion of approximately 5,400 square feet. The office and meeting rooms located on
the parking lot side of the building are single story, the gymnasium and swimming pool
areas are open to the second floor, while the rest of the structure has the locker room
facilities on the first floor and the cardiovascular and studio areas above.
Staff was recommending this application be tabled until the following issues can be
completely addressed through the submittal of revised plans:
1. The concrete panels must be corduroyed and be colored darker than the rest of the
structure to minimize the visual impact.
2. A brick veneer base must be added to the concrete panels at a higher roughly
equivalent to a single story.
3. An architectural element must be added to the concrete panels to define the `top' of
the structure.
4. The developer is encouraged to provide a contrasting yet complimentary metal
paneling element to the base of the structure that is proposed to be sheathed in metal
paneling.
5. A cornice must be added to the brick veneer and metal panel sheathed portions of the
structure.
6. The windows staggered throughout the concrete panel portion of the building must be
enlarged and aligned or stacked in a more logical and pleasing pattern.
7. A minimum 2 -inch deep window trim or two -inch recess must be provided in
accordance with the development standards for the site.
8. The overhang element proposed for the building entry needs to be strengthened to
properly accentuate the main public entrances for the facility.

9. All lighting fixtures must be submitted and prove to be in conformance with the
requirements of the LLTCDDG.
10. The shrubbery provided on the north side of the north parking lot must be revised to
provide a salt - tolerant hedgerow that will provide a year round screen measuring a
minimum of 2 feet high at time of planting and a minimum of 4 feet high at maturity.
11. The landscape materials must be substituted as outlined in the Environmental Board's
Comments.
12. The landscape planters over the location of the infiltration tanks should be planted in
a rain - garden type landscaping. This planting plan will be developed by staff prior to
the issuance of building permits for the site.
13. A tree preservation plan must be submitted by the applicant.
14. The fixtures proposed for the site must be submitted for review. The parking lot
fixtures should be consistent with the lighting already approved in other portions of
the development.
Once these recommendations have been addressed the following standard conditions will
then be included as part of staffs recommendation (additional conditions may arise due
to revisions):
1. A site performance agreement between the city and the developer must be completed
prior to the issuance of building permits.
2. Issues discussed in the S.E.H. engineering review memo must be addressed to the
satisfaction of city staff.
3. Operation and maintenance agreements for the site, including provision for
stormwater facilities, must be submitted for review by city staff prior to the issuance
of building permits.
4. All parking lot lighting fixtures and poles shall be painted to complement the city's
decorative street lighting; shall be mounted to round lighting poles measuring no
more than twenty feet in height; shall be mounted to a concrete base no higher than
twenty -four inches above the surrounding grade; and shall be located within
landscape planter islands.
5. The applicant shall provide a bicycle parking area sufficient in size to accommodate a
minimum of five bicycles. The type of fixture provided and the location of this
parking area must be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of building
permits for the site.
6. All landscaped and sodded areas must be irrigated.
Mr. Laden stated he had reviewed the packet and staff did a good job at pointing out all
of the things that he had found and he appreciated the thoroughness. He indicated he
agreed with all of the suggestions. He asked if the sidewalks through the parking lot
should be a different color as one of the conditions because it was mentioned in staff s
report. Mr. Bengston responded this could be a suggestion, but they did not list it as a
requirement because of the size of the parking lot.
Chair Rafferty invited applicant to make comment.
Tim Staley, Vice President Property Management, YMCA, stated it has been a long road
and they wanted to continue to figure out what will work with the City campus. He noted
they had a tight budget and they were working hard to put most of their resources inside
Planning & Zoning Board
November 9, 2005
Page 4
the building. He indicated their budget was 6.2 million. He indicated they would be
willing to work with staff to look at the design of the building. He noted they were still
fundraising.
Mr. Laden asked if there would be any problem in accomplishing what staff was
recommending. Mr. Staley responded until they had the opportunity to price out what the
requirements would be, they would need to look at possibly reducing the square footage.
Mr. Nelson stated he appreciated the financial constraints they were under, but noted this
was a signature building in a signature development and he agreed with the staff's
recommendation and he hoped they could have a balance.
Mr. Root stated he agreed with staff's recommendations also.
Chair Rafferty stated he was extremely excited about this project. He indicated this was a
tremendous opportunity for both the City of Lino Lakes and the YMCA. He stated he
also agreed with staff's recommendations and he believed they had a very talented
architectural firm who could work with staff to get what the City wanted and yet being
sensitive to their budget.
Mr. Staley stated they wanted to live up to the City's expectations and the volunteers had
worked hard raising money, but even with the hard work, they came up short in their
fundraising and that was why they had to make choices, which was to make as much
space possible for the kids and residents inside the building. He indicated he would
check with his architects to see what they could do and bring this back to them for
approval.
Chair Rafferty asked if all YMCA's are paid for before they are built. Mr. Staley stated
the process today was different than what it used to be. He stated the YMCA has
leveraged 2.5 million dollars. He indicated there was debt financing going on with this
facility as with others. He noted however, if they have to pay off debt, it restricted them
from doing what they wanted to do in the community.
Chair Rafferty strongly suggested they continue to work with staff.
Mr. Root made a MOTION to recommend tabling Final Plan, YMCA, to the December
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting and was supported by Mr. Laden. Motion carried 3-
0.
C. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO amend the Planned Unit Development
for Legacy at Woods Edge to include signage criteria
Staff stated city staff is working with the developer to come up with acceptable signage
criteria for the Legacy at Wood's Edge project. Staff intended on presenting a draft at
this meting, however it has proven more difficult and time consuming then originally
anticipated. At this time a draft is not ready for review by the Planning and Zoning
Board. Staff is recommending the Public Hearing be continued to the December 14,
2005 Planning and Zoning Board meeting.

A. AUAR Update
Staff updated the Board on the AUAR.
B. Architectural Review Committee for Legacy at Woods Edge
Staff stated they would like to establish an Architectural Review Committee for projects
within the Legacy at Woods Edge development. He indicated staff would like a couple
members of the Planning and Zoning Board on this Committee.
Chair Rafferty expressed concern that they needed to make sure the applicant realized
that just because there were a couple of members of the Planning and Zoning Board on
this Committee, this did not mean the application would get approved by the entire
Board. Mr. Smyser concurred.
Chair Rafferty indicated he would be interested in being on this Committee.
Mr. Laden responded he would be interested also.
Mr. Root stated he would also like to participate.
Mr. Nelson indicated it would be difficult for him to attend because of his schedule.
Chair Rafferty requested staff send an email to the members who were not in attendance
at tonight's meeting to see if any of them wanted to be on this Committee also.
C. Meeting Rules
Mr. Root stated he would like to see what the proposal is.
Chair Rafferty stated considering this was Mr. Hyden's request, he recommended
continuing this to the next meeting.

square feet that includes a teen center, gym, indoor pools, cardiovascular /strength training
area, aerobic studio, family program space and a child care center. In return, the YMCA
agreed in part to adhere to the principles of the Town Center Design Guidelines.
This item was continued at the November 9th regular meeting and since this time the
applicant has submitted some revised drawings for staff review. These drawings did not
encompass a complete submittal and therefore a complete review could not be completed
by the staff. The staff also held the inaugural meeting of the Legacy Architectural
Review Committee. Boardmembers Laden, Root, and Tralle attended and through a
discussion with City staff, compiled a list of comments for the applicant.
Staff is recommending this item be continued to the January 22, 2006 meeting so that the
applicant has time to address all of the comments they have received. The applicant was
mailed a notice of extension for the review period, which would now expire on February
8, 2006. This means that barring the applicant granting the City an extension the Board
would have to make a recommendation at the January 11th meeting and the City Council
would have to act on the item at the January 23rd meeting.
Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to continue the YMCA Legacy at Woods Edge to the
January 11, 2006 Planning and Zoning meeting and was supported by Mr. Pogalz.
Motion carried 4 -0.
B. CONTINUED: PUBLIC HEARING, to Amend the Planned Unit Development
for Legacy at Woods Edge to include signage criteria
Staff stated the original signage criteria for the Legacy at Wood's Edge were removed
prior to approval of the master plan. This was done so that the developer and City could
create signage criteria that would address the advertising needs of the master
development and future tenants; and be enforceable by City staff. Staff's approach of
involving the developer throughout the crafting of these criteria has lengthened the
process, but should remain in a more comprehensive product. As such, staff is
recommending that the Public Hearing to continued to the January 12, 2005 Planning and
Zoning Board meeting.
Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to the January 12, 2005
Planning and Zoning Board meeting and was supported by Mr. Pogalz. Motion carried 4-

Mr. Rafferty arrived at 6:46 p.m.
Chair Rafferty expressed concern with the elevation of the building. He noted the
neighboring properties had more in their elevations and he was looking for more
elevation on this building as well. He stated he wanted something put in that would fit
into the area. He indicated this was a nice building, but he believed it could go farther
than what they had so far.

Vice Chair Tralle opened the public hearing at 6:52 p.m.
Vice Chair Tralle invited applicant to make comment.
Mike Cashman, 1772 Midway Road, Wisconsin, representing Keller, stated originally
they followed the specs from the City of Lino Lakes and then in August the City changed
its specs and they changed their plan. He noted they met all of the criteria that the City
was looking for. He indicated they were on a cul -de -sac and not on a main street as their
neighbors were. He noted they would not see a lot of the building from the main road.
Mr. Rafferty stated he agreed with the cul -de -sac observation. He asked if he believed
they were putting in something comparable as the existing neighbors. He asked if
Summit had seen their plans. Mr. Cashman responded Summit had seen their plans. He
noted the back of Summit's building was facing the front of theirs.
Mr. Hyden inquired about the location of the trash enclosure. Mr. Bengston stated the
location could be worked out as a later time, but they wanted it closer to the building and
not open to the cul -de -sac.
Mr. Cashman responded he did not have any problem with that.
Mr. Hyden asked where the tires would be stored. Mr. Cashman responded all tires
would be stored inside the building.
Mr. Pogalz asked if tractor trailers would be parked at any one time outside of the
building. Mr. Cashman responded that would vary depending on the day, but in most
instances, the vehicles would be serviced the same day and would be gone by night fall.
He noted there might be a few instances once in awhile where a vehicle would be on the
lot overnight to be serviced the next day.
Mr. Tralle asked if all old tire storage would also be inside. Mr. Cashman responded they
would be.
Mr. Rafferty asked if they would move their trash enclosure to the north side of the
building. Mr. Cashman responded they could move it there.
Mr. Rafferty asked what would happen to the trash enclosure if they put on their addition.
Mr. Cashman responded they would either have to consider moving it, or putting it
inside.
Mr. Laden asked if they would want to strengthen their entrance for easier public access.
He indicated the front of this building lacked this. He requested the applicant think about
this.
Mr. Nelson agreed and noted an entrance more inviting would go a long way.
Mr. Hyden asked if they agreed to all of the conditions. Mr. Cashman responded they
were agreeable with the conditions.

Vice Chair Tralle invited anyone for or against this proposal to make comment.
John Freimeth, 7381 John Ave, stated he had a concern with respect to the berm and
screening. He requested those be constructed all of the way to Apollo before the building
was constructed and the berm and screening be located 20 feet off of the street.
Vice Chair Tralle asked if Summit had completed their berm. Mr. Bengston responded
Summit was deficient on the height of their berm and was also deficient on their
landscaping. He indicated staff would contact Summit regarding this.
Mr. Freimeth asked if there would be large doors facing Jon Avenue. Mr. Cashman
responded doors would be located on the east and west side of the building and that was
why they were putting in the berming.
Mr. Freimeth stated he wanted the screening that went in there to be adequate and noted
it was very noisy in the area and he has had to put up with the noise for five years. Mr.
Cashman noted the berm would be built when they were grading, but it would not be
totally built until they were done with their construction. He indicated they wanted to
build the berm with the materials on site.
Mr. Freimeth asked if the doors could be kept closed during the day to reduce some of the
noise and only be open when a vehicle was entering or exiting.
Vice Chair Tralle asked if they would have the berm completed before they received their
Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Cashman replied they would have no problem with that.
Mr. Laden made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. and was supported
by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 5 -0.
Mr. Nelson requested adding a condition 10 stating that the berm must be completed
before the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. Mr. Cashman stated they would like some
flexibility with completing the landscaping in the event of inclement weather, which
would preclude the landscaping being completed at the same time as the berm.
Mr. Rafferty stated he wanted the trash enclosure to be attached on the north side of the
building and requested staff work with the applicant regarding this.
Mr. Rafferty made a MOTION to recommend a Conditional User Permit to allow an
automobile and truck repair facility, Pomp's Tire, to be located at 7385 Apollo Court
subject to the conditions as noted in staff's December 14, 2005 report and adding
condition 10 that the berm must be completed before the Certificate of Occupancy is
issued and revising condition 4 to have the trash enclosure on the north side of the
building and was supported by Mr. Hyden. Motion carried 5 -0.
Vice Chair Tralle turned the meeting over to Chair Rafferty.
VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. 49/J Draft Report
Planning & Zoning Board
December 14, 2005
Page 6
Staff stated they had been working the past year on a study of the land and infrastructure
around the intersection of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) and County Road J (Ash Street).
The goal is a planning document that will be adopted by the City Council as the guide for
development of the area.
Staff indicated they held a neighborhood meeting in March and discussed an initial
concept plan. Staff received good information and comments from the land owners and
residents in the area. This input was very important and helped guide revisions to the
concept plan, which is not to be considered the final version.
Staff is not making recommendations for a final plan at this time. That will come after
more discussions with developers, land owners, the P & Z, and City Council. Ultimately,
the City will need to make decisions on alignments of and the means of providing water,
sanitary sewer, and the internal roads needed for proper access and circulation.
Municipal water and sanitary sewer are Lino Lakes' issues exclusively. However, the
roadway system is not. While it is up to the City to provide internal roads, Hodgson and
CR J are County roads. Because CR J is the boarder of Anoka and Ramsey Counties, it is
managed jointly by the two Counties. Staff is working with the Counties and the City of
Shoreview for solutions to the transportation infrastructure issues. Staff has prepared a
traffic study for the area but have not yet discussed it with the other players.
The draft 49/J report is written in a straightforward format intended to provide the
important information efficiently. Additional information will be added and revisions
made as needed. This is a work in progress. Additional information is coming in daily.
Throughout the process new information often has required serious rethinking of what
seemed earlier to be the best course of action on a particular issue.
Staff noted Lino Lakes has a growth management policy that limits the number of new
housing units to be platted each year. We have nine units left unclaimed for year 2006
and 82 for 2007. Staff indicated if the City needs infrastructure and development would
provide it, we would need the development to occur.
One question the City has not faced is how to count assisted living units, which generates
little traffic, wastewater, and other infrastructure impacts.
Several landowners in the area want to develop their properties. Staff have had several
discussions with both of these developers throughout the planning process for the 49/J
study project. Because the infrastructure issues are not yet resolved, these developers
have not submitted development applications.
Staff has met with other landowners as well to discuss the potential for planning future
development on their properties. Two developments in particular are ripe.
The Jensen family owns the 17 acres north of the northwest corner of Hodgson and CR J.
They are working with a developer to create a senior complex that would include several
types of senior housing such as independent living townhomes and cottages as well as a
larger building with assisted living units.

The property owners of the northwest corner of Ware Rd. and CR J are interested in
creating a new townhome neighborhood.
He requested comments from the Planning and Zoning Board members.
Mr. Nelson stated if the intersection was widened, what would happen with the existing
businesses. Mr. Smyser responded additional right -of -way would be needed, but exactly
how much or where, they did not have any of that information yet.
Mr. Laden inquired about the liquor store and the insurance company. Wendy Fritz,
representing the developer and the Jensen family, responded they have spoken with
everyone who was affected by this who have both indicated they would be interested in
going into the new retail buildings. The developers should have a purchase agreement
with the insurance company next week.
Mr. Laden stated he did not want a retail development go in that did not face Hodgson
and he believed the City made a mistake with the Spirit Hills development by not facing
it on Birch.
Mr. Laden stated it would be nice to have the retail development buildings up close to the
street.
Mr. Nelson asked if the entire development would be for seniors. Wendy Fritz replied
that was correct.
Mr. Nelson stated this was an exciting proposal and he liked the proposal.
Mr. Tralle stated he liked this a lot and he believed they would offer a service that was
needed in the area.
Mr. Hyden thought this was great and he was excited to see it completed.
Mr. Pogalz stated a lot of things needed to get "ironed out ". He stated he believed they
could work with this, but they needed to see the next step.
Mr. Laden stated he was excited to see this both for the retail aspect and the residential
aspect. He liked the concept plan and wanted to see something going in on that corner.
Chair Rafferty stated the idea of moving forward with something was good and it was
time to do that. The road improvements would need to worked on with the City. He
stated he did not want to see a "big box" on the corner.
Mr. Laden thanked City Staff for being proactive on this corner and indicated it was good
to see this type of proactivity.
Mike Black, Royal Oaks Realty, representing Brunn Construction, who owns the
northwest corner of Ware Road and County Road J, stated Mr. Brunn bought the property
in summer 2004 and they approached the City in fall 2004. He noted this property was
Planning & Zoning Board
December 14, 2005
Page 8
outside of the MUSA. Their intention was to put up some townhomes on the property.
He noted the log home would stay on the property and they wanted the development to fit
into the theme of the log home. He indicated they understood the need to work together
and plan for the orderly expansion of the utilities, as well as the access point onto County
Road J. He noted they were getting close to coming in with an application. He noted
they would continue to work with staff.
Mr. Laden noted there was a lot of green space the City has guided for greenway. He
asked if this would be handled as a conservation development. Mr. Black responded it
would not, but it lended itself toward natural open space.
Mr. Laden stated the trail plan looked like there was a trail going through this property.
He asked if that was correct. Mr. Black replied the trail went north of the property.
Wayne Brunn, Brunn Construction, stated when they purchased the property it was the
intention that his brother would live in the log home that was currently on the property.
Mr. Tralle expressed concern that they were adding additional townhomes in the area.
He asked when would they reach their saturation point. Mr. Black responded the area
was guided for medium density residential, so they were following the comprehensive
plan. He noted it was also a matter of affordability and townhouse living offered an
affordable alternative for a number of people.
Mr. Brunn stated he believed what was driving the townhome market nationwide was the
lifestyle changes and people wanting the carefree living, as well as the convenience of
living in a townhome. He stated they did not envision these townhomes as being a starter
home.
Mr. Tralle stated he was concerned about the ability of his children being able to live in
the community because it was not affordable.
Chair Rafferty noted this was a conceptual study only and until specifics are detailed and
this was brought forward to them, they needed to realize this was only an idea. He
indicated they needed to have additional direction from staff.
Chair Rafferty recessed the meeting at 9:22 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:28 p.m.
B. Rehbein Transit Addition
Mr. Pogalz stated the intent of the structure was to keep snow and ice off of equipment,
but he noticed that had not been completed and he asked for an update. Mr. Bengston
stated this has not gone to the City Council yet because they were waiting for a lighting
plan. He noted he would obtain a status from Rehbein and give an update at the next
meeting.
C. Requiring sidewalk in subdivisions
Postponed to a future meeting.

AGENDA ITEM V.A.
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson
P & Z MEETING DATE: January 11, 2006
TOPIC: Final Plan
YMCA
Legacy at Woods Edge
BACKGROUND
The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes YMCA has applied for a Planned Unit Development final plan for a single
tenant health club within the Legacy at Wood's Edge project located on the southeast quadrant of Interstate
35W and Lake Drive. The final plan consists only of the building plans for the YMCA, as the lot on which it is
proposed to be built was already platted as part of the Village No. 3 final plat.
The City of Lino Lakes formed a partnership with the Greater Saint Paul YMCA in 1998 to assist in the
construction of a YMCA in Lino Lakes. In 2005 a contract was approved whereby the city agreed to provide 6.7
.acres of land, $1.5 million for construction, plus utilities to the site in exchange for a YMCA of approximately
50,000 square feet that includes a teen center, gym, indoor pools, cardiovascular /strength training area, aerobic
studio, family program space and a child care area. In return, the YMCA agreed in part, to adhere to the
principles of the Town Center Design Guidelines.
The plans submitted indicate a first phase of development that will include 37,304 square feet of area spread
over two floors. Future phases are proposed to include a gymnasium expansion of approximately 4,200 square
feet; a swimming pool (natatorium) expansion of approximately 5,400 square feet; and an approximately 1,200
square foot multi - purpose room. The office and meeting rooms located on the parking lot side of the building
are single story, the gymnasium and swimming pool areas are open to the second floor, while the rest of the
structure has the locker room facilities on the first floor and the cardiovascular and studio areas above.
Revisions have been made to the floor plans and elevations to better comply with the comments made by staff
and the Planning and Zoning Board. The building footprint, grading, landscaping and utilities have not changed
as a result of the proposed revisions, therefore the previous plans are still included as part of this packet.
ANALYSIS
Governing Plans
This site is located within the Legacy at Woods Edge project and is therefore subject to the Lino Lakes Town
Center Design & Development Guide that was adopted by Ordinance 04 -04 as part of the original Planned Unit
oDevelopment for the site.
{
YMCA, page 2
The proposed layout is significantly conforming to the original Legacy at Wood's Edge layout that is included
n the Development Guide. Though atypical to an `urban' development, the development's layout has always
acknowledged that this building was intended to take advantage of the surrounding natural environment as well
as have minimal impact on the adjacent residential property by being setback from the street. These designs
have always indicated a connecting walkway through the parking lot of this site to link the YMCA facility with
the streetscape; this is further discussed in the landscaping section of the staff report.
The proposed YMCA building is located in a Civic Land Use Area and will be located on Lot 18 in Block C
(according to the land use plan of the Lino Lakes Town Center Design & Development Guide). Acceptable
Building Type is community facilities, such as libraries, City Hall, and community recreation such as the
YMCA.
The Regulating plan of the development guide includes the required street framework, which is currently under
construction as part of the city's improvements in the area. This will include the pedestrian streetscape as part
of a future phase of construction. The plan also indicates that there is no build -to line requirement for this
portion of that block, nor is there any `Required Building Entries', nor any `Gateways' indicated for this site.
Allowable Uses
The proposed use for this site is a YMCA facility. The Lino Lakes Town Center Development & Design Guide
classifies this use as `Indoor Recreation Facilities' and considers it a permissible use within the Civic District.
The applicable section is included below:
�
ECTION 3.1 ALLOWABLE USES
Table 1. Allowable Land Uses in Mixed -Use Commercial, Commercial /Residential and Civic Districts
Allowable Land Use
Comm
ercial
Mixed Use
Civic
Public and Quasi - Public Uses
Indoor recreation facilities
P
TABLE 1 NOTES:
P = permitted use.
Building Massing & Placement
The proposed building is not required to meet any build -to lines, therefore the placement of the building is
being dictated more by the desire to take advantage of the natural environment surrounding the south and east
sides of the site. The building is set back approximately 148 feet from the Village Drive right -of -way, 60 feet
from the south property line, and 65 feet from the east property line.
Again, because this building is not required to meet any build -to lines, the height of the structure is only
dictated by the overall height limitation of 45 feet. The height of the building never exceeds 31.5 feet; therefore
it is in conformance with the height standard.
Architectural Standards
The Lino Lakes Town Center Design and Development Guidelines (LLTCDDG) typically require a base,
lddle, and top approach to the architecture within the Legacy at Woods Edge project. During the master
planning process for the Legacy at Woods Edge project the feasibility of the YMCA meeting the architectural
YMCA, page 3
design standards was a major issue. Considering the nature of the structure (large gymnasium / pool areas) as
*ell as the funding mechanisms used for construction, staff understood that meeting the specifications of the
architectural design standards would be difficult. This led to the site being moved from a more prominent
location directly on the streetscape, to the currently proposed location. This allowed not only interaction with
the county park land, but also for the large wall expanses to be built away from the public eye.
This approach was continued as staff worked with the applicant in addressing the comments made by the
Planning and Zoning Board. The single story elements of the building received the utmost attention, as did the
north elevation since it was highly visible from Village Drive. Revisions to the elevations have brought an
improvement to the architectural appearance of the building. The base of the single story structure is
differentiated clearly by color and material finishes. The top is also defined with a crowning element in the
form of either a metal cornice or cast stone coping.
While the Architectural Review Committee had specifically stated that their preference was for the elimination
of the metal siding, the architect has explained that the building requires a tertiary architectural finish that will
provide a greater contrast to the concrete panels. Using EIFS or stucco adjacent to the panels would be
detrimental to the architect's attempts to clearly differentiate between the two -story and single -story portions of
the structure. The architect has proposed an alternative metal product that staff feels provides a higher degree of
surface texture and a finish will eventually weather to a more organic appearance than that of a painted metal
product. (A photograph of the weathered appearance of the product is included in the attachments.)
The applicant has also taken steps to improve the visual appeal of the concrete tilt -up panels proposed for the
two -story elements of the building. The swimming pool portions of the panels are adorned with columns &windows, and the north elevation embraces an adaptation on that columnar element with decorative metal
panels capped by a large window (a theme repeated else where on the elevations). Random vertical expansion
joints help deconstruct the rigid appearance of the panels. The applicant has also supplied to color options as
was requested, and will be brining samples to assist in the determination of a preferred color.
Due to the setback from the right -of -way for the building, the primary entry is being placed on the parking lot
side of the building. While this is atypical for an urban development like Legacy at Woods Edge, the location
of the building was always intended to be setback further from the street to take advantage of the natural
amenities of the site. The main entrance is connected to both Town Center Drive and Village Drive via
pedestrian walkways through the parking areas. Previous comments regarding the strength of the entry canopy
have been addressed by the architect with the provision of a vertically enlarged entry structure, an entry canopy
with greater mass, and a screen wall to provide shelter from the elements.
Larger windows were added throughout the elevations to provide both more daylighting opportunities and also
to break up the monotony of the wall planes. The design standards require a reveal of at least 2 inches from the
exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest rather than windows and trim flush with the building. A
condition is included with staff s recommendations to require a minimum two inch thick exterior trim be
applied to all windows of this building or a two inch recess be provided.
The proposed structure has integrated a number of climatic response devices that meet the design guidelines.
Daylighting of the interior space is being provided by the additional windows provided and a substantial shelter
for patrons is offered by the new entry canopy and screen wall.
41/Staff has included a recommended condition requiring the screening of all ground level and roof mounted
equipment; and a condition regarding the trash enclosure.

The shared parking spreadsheet is based on the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Standards and as is
required by the Development and Design Guidelines. As always, staff will continue to review each project to
maintain the parking standards within this block as well as the entire development.
With a building of this size, the standards only require 5 bicycle parking spaces. Staff has included a condition
requiring that the YMCA to provide a bicycle parking areas sufficient in size to accommodate at least 5
bicycles. Considering the recreational use of the building though, staff is encouraging the YMCA to provide
capacity for closer to fifteen bicycles.
Landscaping Requirements
As previously mentioned in the Parking section of the report, the site plan indicates a total of 176 parking
spaces for this phase of the development. This means that the 23 trees provided throughout the lot exceeds the
requirement of 1 tree for every 10 parking spaces. The parking lot on the north side of the building abuts
Village Drive and therefore must provide additional screening. The applicant is proposing to meet the
requirements of the design standards with a hedgerow of trees spaces 30 feet on center, with additional
shrubbery. Staff is concerned that the shrubs chosen will not effectively screen the cars from view or the
intrusion of headlight beams across the street into the residential portion of the site. Therefore staff is
recommending that the shrub type be revised to a salt - tolerant shrub that will provide a year round screen
measuring a minimum of 2 feet high at time of planting and a minimum of 4 feet high at maturity.
&Though the parking lot does not exceed the 300 space threshold to require a `connecting walkway' through the
parking lot, a `connecting walkway' has always been indicated on the development plan for this site. The
YMCA, page 5
proposed connection meets the requirement for width, but it does not meet the requirements that the paving be
iecorative or that there be shade trees planted 25 feet on center. Additionally, the lighting fixtures are not
properly identified so they must be reviewed for conformance.
The YMCA site is proposing to use some innovative stormwater infiltration tanks as part of the on -site drainage
plan. The location of these infiltration tanks is the south end of the parking lot; therefore the landscaping
islands that are over these tanks cannot have trees in them as they would cause potential damage to the tanks.
As such the Environmental Board has requested that these islands be integrated into the infiltration plan by
being depressed with a rain garden -type landscape. The City's engineering consultant (S.E.H.) is evaluating
this proposal to determine if it is feasible. Since this is a very `urban' development the implementation of a rain
garden -type landscape will need to be heavily scrutinized. Staff is currently researching and developing a seed
mix /planting pattern that will excel in both form and function.
The south side of the site adjoins the County Park area and since some tree removal was necessary to complete
grading and the construction of the retaining wall to allow eventual construction on this portion of the site;
additional landscaping in the form of mixed Oak, Hackberry, Green Ash, Cherry and Red Maple trees should be
added.
As part of the land exchange to the YMCA the city is requiring the dedication of a conservation easement. The
location of this easement has not been finalized. A tree preservation plan must be submitted by the YMCA to
assist in the definition of this easement and to verify that significant specimens are properly protected
throughout construction.
•The following landscape material changes are being requested by the Environmental Board:
•
• Substitute Northern Pin Oak for Autumn Blaze Maples in some but not all locations.
• Substitute White and /or Bur Oak for the Fall Gold Ash.
• Substitute Red and White Pine for the Scotch and Austrian Pines.
• Substitute Oaks for the Willows.
The planting and maintenance of the restoration areas south of the trail shall be coordinated with the city's
improvements on the site. As always, all landscaped and sodded areas must be irrigated.
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.
YMCA, page 6
•ngineering
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.

Dear Mr. Grochala:
RE: Lino Lakes, Minnesota
YMCA
Site Plan Review
SEH No. A- LINOL0305.11 SPCV
Identified below are our review comments for the proposed YMCA site at Legacy at Woods Edge,
prepared by Glenn Rehbein Companies. Plans for the proposed building were submitted to the City of
Lino Lakes for review on October 10, 2005.
Plat
1. The updated drainage and utility easement needs to be shown.
Preliminary Site Plan (Sheet C1.0)
1. The trash enclosure area is not shown as on the Ankeny Kell site plan.
2. The phased parking boundary line in the southwest corner, at the entrance drive, is not reflective of
what will be built as a part of the public improvements. As shown, it will not match up with the
public improvements construction. Coordinate with SEH to get the correct information.
3. Coordinate with SEH to get the correct retaining wall locations.
4. Dimensioning should be provided for the typical parking stalls and drive aisles.
5. The southern end of the drop -off zone in front of the building has a rather abrupt transition from the
main drive aisle. It may function better with a more gradual transition similar to the north side of the
drop -off zone.
6. There is no indication given as to what the surfacing and section of the service road will be.
Preliminary Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C1.01)
1. Spot elevations should be placed at each end of the curb cut north of CBMH 4.
2. Coordinate with SEH to verify proper elevations in the southwest entrance drive.
3. Coordinate with SEH on proper wall location and elevations.
4. There are no details shown for the curb cuts in the median islands. A detail should be shown
dimensioning the size of the curb cuts.
5. The spot elevations at the north entrance off of Village Drive should be revised to snatch the
elevations shown on the Village Drive plans in the Legacy at Woods Edge — Phase 1 plan set.
6. The grading plan shows the grading for the entire parking lot. If the lot is only being built to the
phase line, it appears that in the southwest area of the Phase 1 parking lot will have the existing
ground higher than the parking lot surface. It is suggested that the plan show the necessary grading

actions to match the existing ground along with the required seeding and erosion control measures.
The future phase plans will then show the earthwork required to match the Phase 1 parking.
7. What provisions are being made for temporary curbing where the future underground parking
entrance is at the building near the north entrance off of Village Drive? Some sort of curb will be
required to contain the runoff that will already be traveling in the gutter flow line.
8. It is recommended that spot elevations be revised on the curb at the parking entrance drive aisle just
south of Catch Basin 3 to demonstrate a high point or ridge to contain runoff flowing from the
parking area into the main drive aisle, then north to Village Drive.
9. Are any trees being impacted by the grading operations on the south and southeast sides if the
project? Impacted trees should be shown on the plans.
10. According to the submitted calculations, there is a very large amount of runoff being directed to CB
10 and CBMH 4 (9.65 cfs). Utilizing Neenah orifice flow calculations, these two Neenah catch basin
grates will not be able to handle this flow, resulting in ponding at this location. It appears a significant
amount of flooding of the main drive aisle would result in a 10 -year storm event. Additional storm
sewer catch basins should be utilized in the parking lot to collect some of this runoff before reaching
the southern end.
11. Coordinate with SEH on the exact location of the storm sewer chamber system. This will affect the
location of STMH 5 in the median.
12. Roof drain locations for the YMCA building should be shown on this plan.
13. The amount of runoff flowing into the basin at FES 11 is not shown. It is recommended that rip rap,
or some other acceptable method of erosion control, be placed from FES 12 all the way to the base of
the slope at the wetland to prevent erosion from the discharge out of FES 12.
14. Show pipe sizes on the plan for the storm sewer run from CB 3 to the existing manhole on the north
end of the site.
15. Spot elevations should be shown at all major building corners.
16. Storm Manhole 5 should have a 2' sump in it to aid in sediment collection before runoff enters the
stonn chamber system.
17. Pond 3 has a normal water line (NWL) of 888.4 and a high water line (HWL) of 889.7 after final
design of the public improvements. Please change Pond 3 information to reflect this.
18. When changing pipe sizes across a manhole or catch basin, match crown elevations, if at all possible,
to preserve hydraulic grade line instead of snatching invert elevations.
Preliminary Utility Plan (C1.02)
1. Coordinate with SEH to show the revised water main through the YMCA site.
2. Note that the sanitary sewer near SSMH 1 will need to be installed under existing water main.
3. The 6" and 8" water main services should have 45° bends near the building rather than the 90° bends
shown.
4. Coordinate the water main connections on Village Drive with SEH to ensure they are completed
before bituminous surfacing is placed.

5. Dimension, or call out with notes, the horizontal separation between the water main and sanitary
sewer lines.
Preliminary Detail Sheet (C1.04)
1. All manhole and catch basin details need to call out the usage of Infi- Shield or equal neoprene sealing
sleeves around the rings and casting.
2. The typical sidewalk section detail has a typo calling out sidewalk to be 6" wide.
Landscaping Plan
1. Trees cannot be planted in medians that are located above the StormTech storm sewer chambers.
Site Plan by Ankeny Kell
1. It is suggested that a walk be placed from each of the accessible parking loading aisles to the main
walk through the median area. This will provide an accessible route that will not force people out
into the parking lot and drive aisles to access the crosswalk to the main entrance.
Please call me at 651.765.2912 if you have questions.

Reco mmendations
Lino Lakes Environmental Board
October 26, 2005
• The following recommendations were made at the October 26. 2005 Environmental
Board Meeting
•
•
Preliminary Site Plan Review/YMCA /The Village #3
• Remove trees from the parking lot islands that are over the infiltration tanks.
Make these islands depress ional and a part of the infiltration plan. Slope the
parking lot to these islands. Plant a Rain Garden- type of landscape in the two
depressional islands.
• Landscape areas: Infiltration areas should be constructed with low -
compaction equipment. All turf areas should be thoroughly tilled after top
soil is spread. Verification of this practice should be done by the
Environmental Division of the City. It is suggested that escrow dollars be
applied form this work.
• Change some of the Autumn Blaze maples to Northern Pin Oak. The Pin oaks
give the same fall color effects as the Autumn Blaze Maples and are not as
sensitive to lack of timely pruning. Short term losses to the Autumn Blaze
Maples can be expected if timely pruning is not applied. Substitute White
or /and Bur oak for the Fall Gold Ash. Fall Gold Ash has been removed from
the City planting list because of massive tree failure. One of the original
intents of The Village was to meld development into the existing natural
(Regional Park) landscape. Therefore the same tree substitutions of Oaks for
Willows should be made. The proposed Scotch and Austrian Pine should be
changed to Red pine and White Pine. More trees should be designed along
the area to the South bordering the wetlands where trees were lost due to
project clearing. These trees could be any combination of native Oak,
Hackberry, Green Ash, Cherry and Red Maple.
• Under the Planting Notes of the Project Design Sheets, loamy backfill into the
planting holes should be avoided. Trees should be backfilled with existing
soils.
• Turf areas should be tilled as deep as possible into the subsoil after topsoil is
spread. Verification of this cultural practice should be done by the
Environmental Division of the City. It is suggested that some escrow applied
for this work.
• The City Native Seed mix should be used in pond and restoration areas south
of the trail. Sod areas should be shown on the plan as irrigated. Seed labels
must be verified before seeding begins. The developer should hire a
landscape contractor knowledgeable in the in installation and maintenance of
native plants. A contract with such a company should be submitted to the
City for approval. The company should be hired for a minimum of 3 to 5
years.
• The YMCA should submit a Tree preservation Plan that identifies all
significant trees within 50 feet of the construction area. Significant trees on
the perimeter of the project must be protected with a 4 -foot orange snow
fence. This fence must be installed before construction begins.
•
•
•
• Somewhere on the Erosion Control Plan it must be indicated the location on
the site where the erosion control plan will be located, along with required
weekly and post rainfall event inspection reports. A contact and phone
number should also be listed for the responsible site NPDES Supervisor. The
plan should note that additional rock will be stockpiled or brought in should
the rock entrance become dysfunctional due to rock -pore filling. All storm
sewer catch basins should be protected with an approved device such as the
Royal Infrasafe Collection Device.
• No soils should be imported or exported without City approval.
• A post development BMP plan should be written and be part of an over all
BMP /Maintenance for the Woods Edge Development.
• The proposed Conservation Easement for the site should be written to
minimize tree and plant loss. Signs should be placed at the Easement.
Motion to approve by Bor, Second by Bauman. All were in favor.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson
P & Z MEETING DATE: January 11, 2006
TOPIC: PUD Amendment — Signage Criteria
City of Lino Lakes
BACKGROUND
The original signage criteria for the Legacy at Wood's Edge were removed prior to approval of
the master plan. This was done so that the developer and city could create signage criteria that
would address the advertising needs of the master developer and future tenants; and be
enforceable by city staff. Staff's approach of involving the developer throughout the crafting of
these criteria has lengthened the process, but should result in a more comprehensive product. As
such, staff is recommending that the Public Hearing be continued to the February 8, 2005
Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
•
• OPTIONS.
1. Continue the public hearing to the February 8, 2005 regular meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends continuing the public hearing.

Memorandum
To: Planning and Zoning Board
Cc: Project File
From: Paul F. Bengtson, Associate Planner
Date: January 6, 2006
Re: Rehbein Transit CUP Amendment
The Board asked staff to contact the applicant in regards to the proposed
addition at Rehbein Transit, 6298 Hodgson Road. I personally spoke with
the applicant January 4, 2006 and got the following status update.
The applicant is still interested in pursuing the application and completing
the addition. Some extenuating circumstances have caused this delay, but
he is working on a revised lighting plan that will meet city standards as was
required by the conditions of the Planning and Zoning Board.
Once staff receives this plan the application will be forwarded to the City
Council for review.
