Planning Commission Report Silverview Estates PUD Development Review and Preliminary Plat • November 19, 1997 Page 2 Background: This submittal involves a site development plan and preliminary plat for the development of a convenience market/gas station/car wash on the corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road; 25,000 square feet of office space on the parcel north of the former TJB Homes office building; 5,000 square feet of office on the parcel south of the former TJB Homes building; and an 82 unit senior housing building. Ordinance No. 599 approving the PUD rezoning passed on May 27, 1997, along with Resolution No. 5127 approving the general concept plan for the PUD. An application for development plan approval was submitted on July 11, 1997, and the original date for Planning Commission action was scheduled for August 20. However, in light of the identification of a number of issues that had to be resolved prior to Commission action, this item was scheduled for discussion only at the August 20 Commission meeting. Subsequent to that meeting, comments received by the Planning Commission were considered and incorporated into the current submittals. Additionally, the development team had been awaiting preliminary approval from Mn/DOT for the proposed curb cuts along TH 10 as identified on the plat. On October 9, 1997, Mn/DOT granted preliminary approval for the requested curb cuts, and as a result of that approval the applicant has proceeded • toward completion of the submittal package for consideration by the Planning Commission at its meeting of November 19, 1997. The preliminary plat for Silverview Estates has been reviewed by the City's Planning Staff, and a memorandum to the applicant was prepared identifying the balance of the outstanding issues. Subsequently, a meeting was held with the development team on November 13 to discuss the issues related to the proposed site development plan and preliminary plat. The development team is requesting that the Planning Commission review the development plan and preliminary plat applications at the November 19 meeting and formulate recommendations on each item to the City Council for consideration in December. Discussion: The following discussion identifies issues raised by Planning Commission at the August 20 meeting and by Planning Staff either as a result of the initial submittal in August or as a result of staff's review of the most recent submittal. City Staff members have met with the applicants, and the discussion below incorporates the most current responses to the issues raised. Some items identified below will be resolved either with submissions to City Staff prior to November 19 or submissions to the Planning Commission on the 19th. It is anticipated, however, that each and every issue raised here will be addressed in a manner sufficient to allow Commission action on • November 19th.
