Lake Elmo Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning No. 9C City Council June 20, 2006 Agenda Item: Preliminary Plat of HOA 2"d Addition and Site Plan for Rasmussen Business College Background Information for June 20, 2006: At its meeting June 12, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and unanimously adopted a recommendation to approve the Preliminary Plat of the HOA 2"d Addition. The Commission also reviewed and unanimously recommended approval of the Section 520 Site for a 20,500 square foot Rasmussen Business College — to be located on a 4.11 acre HOA 2"d Addition lot. The applicant (United Properties) agreed on the Record to modify the site plan to mitigate the City Code/Zoning Ordinance non- compliance matters raised by the Planning Staff Report. No variances have been applied for nor will be required, but the conditions are carried forward into the Site Plan approval Resolution. One semi non-compliance matter raised by the Planning Staff report is the proposal by United to install street lighting in the median and along the short cul-de-sac street of the HOA 2"d Addition. Staff has suggested that street lighting (except at designated street intersections) is generally contrary to City strategy — Dark Sky. Staff has advised both the applicant and the Planning Commission that a specific City Council waiver of the street lighting strategy will be required to permit the street lights proposed. The Commission did discuss and adopt a recommendation on the street light issue. That recommendation is to allow the street lights to be installed design -compliant with the City's lighting ordinance and at the developer's sole expense, subject to a provision that the lights be extinguished between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM.
