5. Planning Case PD2005-001. Review and Consideration of the General Concept Plan
for a Proposed Residential Planned Unit Development at 2901 and 2925 County
Road 10. Applicant: Integra Homes
Planner Prososki reported that Ron Lillestrand, representing Integra Homes, originally requested
City approval of a general concept plan to construct twenty-one townhouse units at 2901 and
2925 County Road 10. She stated that the request was brought before the Planning Commission
during a public hearing at the May 4, 2005 meeting. She indicated that after reviewing the
general concept plan and taking testimony from the applicant and the surrounding property
owners, the Planning Commission expressed disapproval of the general concept plan for the
townhouse development.
Planner Prososki explained that the applicant stated that he would attempt to look at alternative
plans. She indicated the applicant is now requesting that action be tabled on this item in order to
provide additional time to look at alternative development concepts. She stated that should the
Planning Commission choose to take action now, Staff has drafted a resolution recommending
denial of the general concept plan, which would be forwarded to the City Council.
Chair Stevenson commented that since the applicant did not pull their application the Planning
Commission is charged with either denying the request or tabling the case and allowing the
applicant to make changes as he sees fit.
Commissioner Zwirn stated he would vote to table the request.
Commissioner Scotch agreed.
Commissioner Miller asked if the case would have to start over if it were denied.
Planner Prososki stated on general concept plans there is more flexibility. She indicated the
Planning Commission can table this and allow the applicant to come in with something else.
Commissioner Zwirn asked if the applicant would have to pay another application fee.
Planner Prososki indicated there would not be an additional fee.
Commissioner Miller asked if they were under the 60-day time limit.
Planner Prososki stated Staff would write a letter requesting an additional 60 days so the
proposal is not automatically approved.

________________________________________________________________________
Chair Stevenson noted that if the Planning Commission denies the request, the applicant could
go to the City Council without their recommendation. He stated since the applicant is requesting
that this be tabled they should give the applicant the opportunity to make changes.
MOTION/SECOND: Zwirn/Scotch. To table Planning Case No. PD2005-001 to the June 1,
2005 Planning Commission meeting.
Ayes –7 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
Chair Stevenson asked what would happen if the applicant is not ready on June 1st.
Planner Prososki stated there is roughly two more weeks on the original 60-day timeframe. She
indicated the City can request an additional sixty days without the applicant’s permission. She
stated if it goes beyond that the City would need an extension in writing from the applicant. She
indicated if the applicant is not ready on June 1st the Planning Commission could table it again or
recommend denial at that time.
Commissioner Hegland requested that the applicant provide a formal request in writing if they
want the Planning Commission to table it again at the June 1st meeting, along with a waiver on
the 60-day requirement.
