17 401 When it was pointed out to the developers that there was unanimous 2 opposition on the Commission to another curb cut on Kenzie Terrace, Nr. 3 Nelson said he certainly didn't want any traffic problems to affect his 4 rentals and wouldn't want another traffic light in the area. 5 Mr. Soth suggested that there was a real timing problem involved and 6 recommended that the Commission make their recommendations to the 7 Council approving any of the changes they felt they could so they 8 could work out some alternatives to access with the developers if 9 possible at their November 22nd meeting. 10 Several alternatives for resiting the structures to provide access to 11 both Building A and C without increasing the traffic around the senior 12 buildings were explored with the architect. Mr. Frederickson suggested 13 traffic studies could be done and perhaps by eliminating the extra 14 driveway area, the developers might be able to rotate Building A to gain 15 more land between buildings. Commissioner Hansen suggested the City 16 might even be willing to grant a setback variance to get that 17 accomplished. 18 When Commissioner Hansen asked the City Attorney whether the Planning 19 Commission would get another look at the Final Plan before it's 20 approved, Mr. Soth told him the Ordinance contemplated the Final Plan 21 as being virtually the same as the Detail Plan, so although the Final 22 Plan would be shown to the Planning Commission, it would more or less 0 3 be set, so to speak, by that time. He said the only purpose of the 4 Final Plan is for the City to have something permanent on file. 25 Chair Wagner indicated he could foresee even a joint Council/Planning 26 Commission to give final approval to the revisions. 27 Commission Recommendations 28 Motion by Madden, seconded by Hansen to recommend the Council waive the 29 Preliminary Plat and approve the Final Plat which combined all the 30 parcels of the Kenzie Development Project into a single lot. 31 Motion carried unanimously. 32 Motion by Madden, seconded by Brownell to recommend to the Council that 33 the Development Concept Plan and Detail Plan be amended as presented in 34 the Site Plan dated November 4, 1988, presented at the November 15th 35 Planning Commission hearing with the exception that the westernmost 36 curb cut be eliminated and the placement of Building A be adjusted to 37 accommodate access to Building C and that changes in the Redevelopment 38 Agreement be made as needed. The Planning Commission also recommends 39 the Detail Plan provide for an access for emergency vehicles only 40 through the adjoining shopping center area. 41 Motion carried unanimously. •
