M/S/P Smith/DeLapp to send it back to committee because this proposal may not fit in architecturally. (Motion passed 5-0). M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson to site the water tower in Sunfish Lake Park. (Motion passed 4-0-1 Abstain: Conlin). 9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Eagle Point Business Park: Resolution No. 2005-012 Approving the Preliminary Plat and Final Plat of Eagle Point 4th Addition, Resolution No. 2005-013:Denying the PUD Plan Amendment, Resolution No. 2005-014; Approving the Section 520 Site Plan for City and County Credit Union The Planner said the application from United Properties was unanimously recommended by the Planning Commission. The PUD item of issue was the request to substitute asphalt shingles for the code requirement for roofing. Planning Commission voted 5-2-1 to deny it. Item 9A includes a communication from a tenant in Eagle Point with reference to glare from the standard seam metal roofs. Concern for access onto Hudson required a traffic study reflecting this use on this site. Councilmember Smith said the site plan asks us to approve 10,000 square feet, and only six thousand is to be constructed. The Planner asked the City Attorney if it is okay to put and take uses when it is in the PUD. The City Attorney said the council has latitude with PUD’s because they are designed to give more than what you get from normal zoning. If there is a variation from 10,000 square feet building requirements, council has the right to reject a 6,000 square feet building. Dale Glowa of United Properties introduced Pat Pierce, president of City and County Credit Union, Steve Dowdy the architect, and George Burkards. Mr. Glowa said this was a thoughtful PUD they spent months developing with the city council. Teller lanes were requested by the client to serve traffic that might otherwise be waiting to get on site. The building site plan is sized to accommodate 10,000 square feet. Roof materials were silent when this PUD was approved, now they are requesting the PUD to be amended for additional roofing material, to include a timberline asphalt roof. Metal and cedar are loud in a rainstorm, ice concern sliding off, glare is another concern. Asphalt won’t do that. The Planner said we have until March 7 to decide. Steve Dowdy with Pope Associates said the scale of the building does not fit a steel roof. His company has been asked to redesign drive-up canopies with metal roofs several times because of sound and ice problems. George Burkards said United Properties has spent $4,000,000 in the park. Signs, monuments, and bridges were created for appearance. He said the quality of all the buildings are good. Councilmember DeLapp said perceptions of architecture in this part of Lake Elmo are not good. M/S/P Johnson/Conlin to table the United Properties applications until the next meeting.
