City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 27, 2000 • Page 7 1 ordinances and policies. 2 Mr. Bergstrom noted that the;Planning Commission had proposed that the lot coverage 3 ordinance be changed in two ways: (1) decks would not be included as part of the lot 4 coverage ratio if the surface of the deck and the area below the deck was a pervious 5 surface; and(2) to create a two-tier lot coverage limit. In that respect, lots over 9,000 6 square feet would retain the current 35% lot coverage ratio, and the lot coverage ratio 7 would increase to 40% for lots at or under 9,000 square feet. 8 Motion by Hodson to approve Ordinance 2000-003, an Ordinance Relating to Lot 9 Coverage and Building to Land Ratio, Amending Sections 1605 Subd. 44(a) and 10 1615.05., Subd. 8 of the 1993 St. Anthony Code of Ordinances. 11 Motion carried unanimously. 12 Sparks acknowledged that the pursuit of this lot coverage ordinance change was an 13 excellent idea and she thanked the Planning Commission for following through on the 14 research and modifications to the Ordinance. 5 4. Consider Preliminary Plan for the Apache Plaza Site Submitted by Hillcrest 16 Development. 17 Mr. Bergstrom noted'that the Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on this issue, 18 and he directed the Council's attention to several documents in the Council agenda 19 packets for their review and information relating to this issue. 20 John Shardlow, DSU, was invited to approach the Council. Mr. Shardlow began by 21 briefly reviewing the project. He stated that the Council would be considering an 22 application for rezoning and a preliminary Planned Unit Development("PUD") approval. 23 Said application was made by Hillcrest Development for property known as Apache 24 Plaza,New Market, and Taco Bell Sites. 25 Mr. Shardlow noted that the primary focus of Hillcrest Development is to.redevelop 26 Apache Plaza into a predominately high-tech office building. Additionally, Hillcrest 27 would like the flexibility to market the property to some kinds of uses that may be more 28 like manufacturing or warehousing. This has been the subject of a lot of discussion; 29 however those uses must not change materially the uses and character of the building. 30 There is still an interest on the part of Hillcrest to discuss some of those conditions. 31 Furthermore, Mr. Shardlow stated that Hillcrest has presented a landscape plan which is 32 appropriate in terms of the level of commitment Hillcrest has proposed. The firm of DSU �3 has suggested some minimum standards and requested additional detail from Hillcrest.
