page 2 <br />Motion by Mr. Cowan and seconded by Mr. Hiebel to recommend to the Council <br />approval of replatting of the Birkeland Second Addition as presented, <br />subject to the platting meeting all provisions of the City and DNR <br />regulations as applicable to these lots with a request that Mr. Fornell <br />research the point before the next Council meeting. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />The Board considered Mr. Fornell's memorandum regarding the application by <br />Gordon Hedlund for a Planned Unit Development for Lots 9 through 16, <br />MoundsView Acres, Second Addition as well as the proposal that the Board <br />could set the date for a Public Hearing on the application for its <br />meeting in August because the zoning ordinance would probably be adopted <br />at the next Council meeting. when Mr. F�rmarchick questioned whether the <br />submission requirements for a PUD had been met, he was told Mr. Fornell <br />had spent some time with Mr. Hedlund helping him prepare the application <br />and informed him of the submission requirements, some of which could be <br />fulfilled before the Public Hearing. Mr. Hedlund said he would have no <br />trouble meeting all such requirements. <br />Concern was expressed by the Board whether they could legally take action <br />on the application since the zoning ordinance had not been adopted and the <br />guidelines now written in the ordinance might be changed before the <br />ordinance is adopted. Mr. Fornell said changes being discussed were the <br />elimination of height requirements for multi story residences and the <br />percentage of commercial development to be allowed in a PUD. Mr. Cowan <br />was concerned that the residents would not have sufficient time to acquaint <br />themselves with such changes in the proposal before the hearing. <br />Mr. Hedlund then gave his plan for the property which would incorporate <br />a two story dental clinic to be built by Dr. Philip Brandeen, a Country <br />Kitchen restaurant, and a beauty shop for which the existing building at <br />?909 Silver Lake Road would be remodelled by Mr. Jim Hughes and the <br />retirement apartment complex for which First American Care Facilities, <br />Inc. had been granted a conditional use permit. Mr. Hedlund said the proposal <br />he had previously made for the development of the land along Penrod Lane <br />would also be a part of the PUD and these homes would be built almost <br />immediately, should the PUD be approved. <br />Because of the problems with obtaining the financing for the retirement <br />home, Mr. Hedlund acknoirledged that the rest of the project would probably <br />go in before that was built. Mr. Charles,"ovac who represented County <br />Builders, a subsidiary of Country Kitchen Restaurants, presented the <br />preliminary site plans for the proposal. These included plans for parking, <br />landscaping, curb cuts and an access drive which would be built, owned and <br />maintained by the individual owners of each portion of land which it <br />served. Mr. Johnson said he would like to see some specific arrangement <br />made to guaranty the maintenance of the road. <br />Mr. Novac said the natural slope of the grade of the property between the <br />commercial and residential areas as well as existing trees and vegetation <br />would provide a buffer for the residences to the east. He said if a fence <br />were built there much of this vegetation would have to be cut down. <br />
