Mounds View City Council October 10, 2000 Special Meeting Page 8 create a regional stormwater holding pond that would be located partly on the Metro Waste Control property and partly on Edgewood Middle School property. While the final drainage plans and use agreements are still being drafted, all indications are that all parties--including Rice Creek Watershed District--will approve the stormwater project. Staff recommends Council review and discuss the revised development stage plans and consider action on Resolution 5476, a resolution approving the development stage plans for the proposed Mermaid PUD subject to the following stipulations: 1. The lighting plan shall be revised to show the light fixture specifications and light standard heights to be used for the new exterior building and parking lot illumination. 2. The total building, monument and pedestal signage to be used on the development shall be limited to 850 square feet. 3. The applicant shall execute a sign easement document which dedicates to the City the area to be used for a gateway sign at the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H. 4. As required by the Planned Unit Development section of the City Code, the applicant shall execute a development agreement pertaining to the Mermaid PUD, which will serve as the guiding and controlling document for this development. 5. The landscape plan shall be further revised to show the specific types and numbers of plantings to be used within this development and shall be approved by the City Forester. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:33 p.m. Council Member Marty commended the applicant and thanked him for his offer to extend the trailway across the Perkins site. He then asked Planning Associate Ericson if the issue of the easement for the gateway sign had been resolved. Planning Associate Ericson indicated there was an error at the County but the document has now been located and there is not a problem with the easement. Council Member Stigney indicated at some point during prior discussions on this project, security at the Mermaid was discussed. He inquired as to whether the applicant would be agreeable to adding a sentence to the PUD document such as “to incorporate such security measures as to ensure the safety of patrons and to minimize the risk of damage to vehicles and theft of property.” The applicant, Mr. Hall, indicated he will do everything he can to ensure the safety of his customers. He also noted he is under strict security guidelines from his insurance carrier and his contract with AmericInn. He then noted he was not sure if putting something in writing would be appropriate.
