M/S/P Armstrong/Dunn — to authorize and direct Staff and the City Attorney <br />to prepare a contract with Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., as <br />recommended by the Planning Commission, for consulting services to <br />prepare a Zoning Code Update for the City, reflecting the firm's proposal to <br />the City, and at a Not -to -Exceed fee of $27,200. Said contract to be <br />presented to the Council for approval when completed. (Motion passed 5-0.) <br />(Mayor Hunt asked that a copy be sent to the President of Tri lakes Assoc.). <br />Council member Armstrong stated since approval of a consultant deals with <br />spending money, the Council should listen and invite the Planning <br />Commission at a joint meeting. <br />M/S/P Armstrong/DeLapp - to direct the staff to establish a joint City <br />Council/Planning Commission meeting for a future round of interviews. <br />(Motion passed 5-0.) <br />B. Site Plan PUD Final Plans Carriage Station Professional Park, Lots <br />1&4 <br />Planner Dillerud reported the Council approved a series of applications for <br />this site on June 19, 2001, including PUD Development Stage Plan, <br />Preliminary Plat, Site Plan and PUD Final Stage Plan. John Arkell, the <br />developer, has applied for Site Plan and PUD Final Plan approval for two of <br />the remaining (after June) buildings. The Planning Commission reviewed <br />and recommended approval of the building on Lot 4 on September 10, 2001; <br />and, of the building on Lot 1 on October 22, 2001. Both recently <br />recommended buildings reflect similar architecture and exterior materials as <br />the building approved by the Council in May, a blend of stone, brick and <br />cedar. Regarding the recent deletion of "or equivalent" from the LB <br />performance standards, staff observed that this was a PUD Final Plan, in <br />keeping with the previously approved architectural theme of the office park. <br />Therefore, it appeared reasonable and legally allowable to continue that <br />architectural theme with the remaining buildings of this development. <br />Planner Dillerud asked Mr. Arkell to get rid of the carriage lights because <br />they don't meet our exterior lighting code. Council member Dunn voiced her <br />concern with drainage due to the entire fill dug out. Mr. Ark ell responded <br />he will correct this and wants it to look like it did originally. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 7, 2001 7 <br />
