Walgreens Report <br />August 14, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff has been working very closely with the City Attorney to ensure all resolutions, <br />ordinances and documents related to this request are in the proper form and <br />construction. Mr. Bob Vose from Kennedy & Graven will be present at your meeting <br />August 14, 2000, to address any legal considerations and issues relating to this <br />proposal. <br /> <br />Because of the Council’s familiarity with this project, the primary focus of this report <br />shall be to discuss the action items relating to the proposed Walgreens PUD rather <br />than devoting time and effort restating and repeating discussion and comments from <br />previous staff reports and meetings. <br /> <br /> <br />1. Approval of the PUD and Exchange of Land <br /> <br />Resolution 5462 approves the PUD and the proposed exchange of land between the <br />City and TOLD Development. Please find attached to this report the PUD Document <br />and the Contract for Private Development relating to this development, both of which <br />shall act as the governing documents for this planned unit development. This <br />resolution also directs staff to present an ordinance to rezone the property and an <br />ordinance to dispose of by sale the remnant parcel. <br /> <br />2. Approval of the Development Review and Wetland Alteration Permit <br /> <br />Resolution 5453 approves the development review stage of the PUD and the wetland <br />alteration permit. The resolution contains a number of stipulations which will need to <br />be met concerning revisions to the site plans. The corrections have been agreed upon <br />by the Developer yet were not included in the latest plan submission. <br /> <br />Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) will need to approve the wetland alteration and <br />grading and drainage plans, as well as any other applicable permitting agency as <br />determined by RCWD. Preliminary comments from RCWD are very positive. <br />Regarding the City approval of the wetland alteration, the Municipal Code states that, <br />“A minimum alteration of a wetland may be allowed when necessary for the use of <br />property but only when it will not have a substantially or significantly adverse effect, as <br />determined by the City, upon the ecological and hydrological characteristics of the <br />wetland.” Staff asserts that given the minimal area proposed to be filled and disturbed, <br />and the addition of the regional stormwater pond to treat and filter runoff, this condition <br />is met. <br /> <br />3. Approval of the Mounds View City Hall Addition Preliminary Plat <br /> <br />Resolution 5454 approves the preliminary plat of the proposed major subdivision <br />subject to stipulations directing the developer to make some minor revisions. The <br />resolution also stipulates the timeline for final plat approval. Related to the
