RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR There was no resident input. 10. COUNCIL BUSINESS A. Public Hearing, Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 5476, a Resolution Regarding the Development Stage of the Proposed Mermaid PUD Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m. There was no public input. Planning Associate Ericson explained to Council Dan Hall is seeking City approval of development stage plans for the proposed Planned Unit Development which contemplates a 70- room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to and integrated with the existing complex. He advised that on September 6, 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of a set of development stage plans date-stamped August 10, 2000. Prior to City Council review, however, the plans were amended to such a degree that reapproval by the Planning Commission was deemed necessary. The Planning Commission reviewed the revised plans and on October 4, 2000, approved Resolution 637-00 which recommends approval of the Mermaid’s development stage plans. Planning Associate Ericson noted, as mentioned at the Work Session meeting on October 2, 2000, there are a number of changes contemplated by the revised development stage plans. The most noticeable change is that the hotel has been scaled back to three stories and 70 rooms from the initial four-story, 96-room plan and that the Perkins site is no longer a component of the Mermaid expansion. It has been proposed that the restaurant building will be converted to an office use. The water park, which was a separate building located in the hotel courtyard, is now shown to be attached to the east wing of the hotel, replaced with parking in the courtyard area. The total area of the revised PUD is approximately 9.36 acres, which includes the three existing Mermaid Parcels, the Rent-All parcel, Music Off 10 and the dry holding pond associated with the business park development. The minimum requirement for a commercial PUD is 5 acres. The existing business park access drive from County Road H would be shifted to the west to maximize the contiguous parking area for the proposed development.
