Consideration of Resolution No.5230,Concerning Access to Anthony Properties 2 Management/O'Neil PUD at 2430 Highway 10. 3 4 Mr.Rick Jopke,Community Development Director,provided a brief re-cap of this development proposal. 5 The applicant,Anthony Properties is proposing to construct a 63,000 square foot, 15 screen 2,188 seat 6 movie theater,three 11,000 square foot one-story office buildings,a 5,000 square foot restaurant and a 7 6,400 square foot retail/restaurant building on the site located at 2430 Highway 10. 8 9 Mr.Jopke noted that there are three steps in the PUD process-a general concept plan,a development stage 10 plan and a final plan. On May 12, 1997 the City Council approved the General Concept Plan for this 11 development. The Development Stage Plan,which is before the Council now is the next step in the 12 process. This includes a more detailed plan of the development. The Planning Commission reviewed the 13 plan and recommended approval of the Development Stage Plans with a number of stipulations. The City 14 Council must conduct a Public Hearing and grant approval,resubmit the plan to the Planning Commission 15 for further consideration or deny approval of the plan. There is a 60 day requirement for Council approval 16 which is due to expire on May 17, 1998,and if the council does not approve the project,they must either 17 deny it or grant a 60-day extension. 18 19 Mr.Jopke explained the review and evaluation criteria for development stage plans and provided a brief 20 summary of staffs fmdings regarding each. Essentially,all criteria has been met,with the exception of 21 the signalized intersection on Highway 10 which has not obtained approval from MnDOT. It was noted 22 that the signalized intersection as proposed with a right-in and right-out is important to the development of 23 the property and working with MnDOT in regard to this issue will be important. Mr.Jopke discussed the 24 changes which have been made since the general concept plan which was approved in 1997. 25 26 The Planning Commission has reviewed the development stage review and is recommending Council 27 approval with stipulations. Mr.Jopke went through the stipulations of the resolutions. 28 29 Mr. Wendell Smith of Anthony Properties provided a brief overview of the history of the project. He 30 provided copies of the plans which were approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council in 31 1997,and discussed how the plans have changed since that time. He noted that the revised plan has better 32 quality than the original plan. He provided renderings of the proposed theater and office buildings. He 33 noted that there are still no access points onto County Road H-2 or Long Lake Road. A diagram was 34 provided depicting the new proposed signalized intersection. He noted that it is very important from a 35 safety and traffic standpoint that this signalized intersection be approved and it was their understanding that 36 MnDOT had approved it. On April 22nd, however,they were notified that MnDOT will not agree to this 37 signalized intersection without access being provided to Long Lake Road or County Road H-2. 38 39 Mr. Smith asked that the Council approve the development plan,the buffer permit and strongly endorse the 40 intersection as shown on the plan and work with MnDOT to obtain permission of the signalized 41 intersection before the commencement of construction. 42 43 Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 9:55 p.m. 44 45 Milly Ash,2664 Lake Court Drive, asked for a clarification on the access to the restaurant site from Long 46 Lake Road. Mr. Smith noted that the plan shows a entrance and exit to the restaurant site from Long Lake 47 Road,however MnDOT has indicated that they will not allow for a right-in/right-out to Highway 10 and
