page 2 Motion -byMr. Cowan and seconded b Mr. Hiebel to recommend to the Council Y i approval of replatting of the Birkeland Second Addition as presented, subject to the platting meeting all provisions of the City and DNR regulations as applicable to these lots with a request that Mr. Fornell research the point before the next Council meeting. IL I Motion carried unanimously. /The Board considered Mr. Fornell's memorandum regarding the application by Gordon Hedlund for a Planned Unit Development for Lots 9 through 16, I MoundsView Acres, Second Addition as well as the proposal that the Board ` cuuld set the date for a Public Hearing on the application for its I meeting in August because the zoning ordinance would probably be adopted at the next Council meeting. When Mr. Rymarchick questioned whether the submission requirements for a PUD had been met, he was told Mr. Fornell had spent some time with Mr. Hedlund helping him prepare the application and informed him of the submission requirements, some of which could be fulfilled before the Public Hearing. Mr. Hedlund said he would have no trouble meeting all such requirements. Concern was expressed by the Board whether they could legally take action on the application since the zoning ordinance had not been adopted and the guidelines now written in the ordinance might be changed before the ordinance is adopted. Mr. Fornell said changes being discussed were the elimination of height requirements for multi story residences and the percentage of commercial development to be allowed in a PUD. Mr. Cowan was concerned that the residents would not have sufficient time to acquaint themselves with such changes in the proposal before the hearing. Mr. Hedlund then gave his plan for the property which would incorporate a two story dental clinic to be built by Dr. Philip Brandeen, a Country Kitchen restaurant, and a beauty shop for which the existing building at 3909 Silver Lake Road would be remodelled by Mr. Jim Hughes and the retirement apartment complex for which First American Care Facilities, Inc. had been granted a conditional use permit. Mr. Hedlund said the proposal he had previously made for the development of the land along Penrod Lane would also be a part of the PUD and these homes would be built almost immediately, should the PUD be approved. Because of the problems with obtaining the financing for the retirement home, Mr. Hedlund acknowledged that the rest of the project would probably go in before that was built. Mr. Charles . ovac who represented County Builders, a subsidiary of Country Kitchen Restaurants, presented the preliminary site plans for the proposal. These included plans for parking, landscaping, curb cuts and an access drive which would be built, owned and maintained by the individual owners of each portion of land which it served. Mr. Johnson said he would like to see some specific arrangement made to guaranty the maintenance of the road. • Mr. Novac said the natural slope of the grade of the property between the commercial_ and residential areas as well as existing trees and vegetation would provide a buffer for the residences to the east. He said if a fence were built there much of this vegetation would have to be cut down.
