Council member DeLapp stated the buildings are not brick, stone or glass as required under Business Park zoning district. If the buildings meet the exterior brick standards, standing metal seam roof, dressed up the site, and changed the square pond; they would have his vote. The applicant indicated the project has a homey feel. This is what Lake Elmo wants. They created a better entrance to the facility. Looks like the biggest issue is materials and site layout. Council member Siedow liked the look of the rendering presented and wouldn't want to see more exterior brick. With the economy like it is, multiple buildings could be the future. Council member Dunn thought what was presented looked like an apartment house or townhouse and didn't like it. She had no problem with smaller footprint. The City was told we were gong to get this high revenue so we expected a business park scenario. Mayor Hunt would like the applicant to follow with brick, stone or glass as building materials. He could make a case for smaller suites in this area under a PUD with a higher standard of materials. The Council wants to attract higher quality commercial.
