MEMORANDUM DATE: July 21, 1999 • TO: Michael J. Morrison, City Manager FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant ITEM: July 20' Planning Commission Meeting Summary 1. Planning Commission Representative. Todd Hanson will be the Planning Commission Representative to the Council at the July 27" Council meeting. Chair Bergstrom and Commissioner Stille were absent. 2. Public Hearings. A. Richard Krier presented a report on the St. Anthony Shopping Center Land Use Plan. He described the community's vision to develop a village-like community center that creates economic, cultural and social interests. Mr. Krier showed the site plan as developed from input received from the residents, businesses and neighbors. The Planning Commissioners comments included that they wanted to see larger green space, plan an indoor meeting area, transit areas, improved access from Hwy. 88 and study the possibility of installing a stop light on Hwy. 88. The Planning Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval with the above-mentioned items included. • 3. Concept Review. A. Mendota Homes Twin Home project. Mendota Homes is requesting a conditional use permit and a rear yard variance to construct a twin home on a site that had previously been rezoned from industrial to an R-4 district to accommodate previously planned senior condominium. The Planning Commission advised Ms. Mathern that she would have to demonstrate a hardship other than economic for this revised project. She indicated that she had presented this plan to the City of Roseville as a townhome project and the proposed twin home for the St. Anthony site had been also a 4-unit townhome building. The City of Roseville asked that that be changed, as they did not want a building that straddled both the county and city boundary. So, Ms. Mathern had the site plan redrawn to show a twinhome on the St. Anthony lot. B. Conditional Use Permit for New Owner of Town & Country. Jim Kellison presented information about the proposed use of the Town & Country building. He indicated that motorcycles will be sold as part of the inventory and there will be repair service provided, which are uses that are allowed with a conditional use permit. Mr. Kellison also advised the Planning Commission that the new owner will need to submit a comprehensive sign plan because the new owner is compelled to advertise products that he sells as part of a marketing contract with the manufacturers. Mr. Kellison likened this to the situation with Tires Plus.
