Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda None. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. Planning Case DE2005-003. Consideration of a Development Review for a Single Story Office Building Planning. Community Development Director Ericson reviewed the staff report indicating the applicant, Dr. Greg Belting, Silverview Chiropractic Center, is requesting a development review approval for the proposed 8,300 square foot single story office building at 2395 County Road 10. The City approved an amendment to the Walgreens PUD in July of 2005 to permit “office” as an allowable use on this site. Director Ericson stated parking requirements are 50 stalls, whereby the site plan indicates 43 stalls with the remaining seven stalls available on the adjacent Walgreens site, as was originally the plan. Building setbacks are in excess of the minimum. The Walgreens PUD requires that the building shall be of high-quality masonry construction using brick and brick accents to match the Community Center, theater, and City Hall. There are areas on the site in which snow may be plowed and piled in the winter. The City Forester has approved the landscape requirements with the recommendation of swapping some types of plantings. Staff will review a signage permit to ensure consistency with both the PUD and Municipal Code. The site was master graded during construction of the Walgreens building and a large stormwater pond installed southeast of the site. An easement originally platted with the Mounds View City Hall Addition will be vacated. Director Ericson noted the proposed office use on the undeveloped parcel would be consistent with the City’s Zoning Code and Comp Plan and would bring development and tax base to the site. He referenced the resolution conditions and recommended the Planning Commission approve the development review. Acting Chair Miller asked if Dr. Belting had any comments. Dr. Belting stated the City has been great to work with and he is trying to provide a nice building for the community. He added the front of the building will be brick but questioned if the entire building needs to be brick. Tom Belting, brother of Dr. Belting, also questioned the other three building sides being brick. He suggested these three sides would be maintenance free aluminum siding with additional landscaping if needed. He added the brick would tie in with neighboring buildings.
