-2- Prior to the calling of the public hearing on the Hedlund PUD at • 7: 47 p.m. , the Manager told the Board the Council had accepted all their recommendations for modification of the Concept Plan as in- dicated in the minutes of the Council meeting which had been omitted from their agenda packets . He confirmed that all application, publication and notification re- quirements set for such a hearing in the City Zoning Ordinance had been met. No one present reported failure to receive nor objected to the contents of the notice. Mr. Marks told the more than a dozen residents present for the hearing, that the purpose of the hearing was to get their input regarding the detailed submissions from Gordon Hedlund for the development of ap- proximately one-third of the commercial component of the PUD. The developer then showed the site plans and perspective drawings for the one story speculative building for which he has no specific tenants . He said ,he anticipates the building might have as many as five tenants orerha s only P p y one and said he expected such tenants to be business types such as realtors, doctors and dentists, but "no heavy retail nor restaurants since they are not permitted in the PUD" . He answered a question put to him by Ruth Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive, by saying, "The PUD specifies there can be no more than 50 percent of any one building devoted to "C" usage and only 33 percent of such usage allowed in the entire commercial por- tion" . She indicated she preferred to have the usage referred to • as "service office" rather than "commercial" . Entrances and exits for the building will depend on the type of tenants and screening in the back will consist mainly of the existing trees, Mr. Hedlund said, and, he said, cost will be the major factor in determining where the utilities for the building will be located. This point and the type of roof on the building were points of great interest to those who were present with Lloyd Hedman, 3924 Penrod Lane, favoring a gabled roof on the building "to keep the utilities off" . Mr. Hedlund answered concerns regarding the exterior of the building by saying the building will be "new" cedar wood. K Marlin Johnson, 4008 Penrod Lane, was concerned whether the property will be better maintained than it is now and Ruth Thompson, 3015 39th Avenue N.E. , and Kathy Cooper, 3908 Macalaster Drive, said they were disappointed with the "strip-like building" and the fact it is not "more home-like" and wanted more plantings to serve as screening for the building from the homes on Penrod. Whether the height of a gabled roof might be in conformance with the PUD was discussed at length and-Mr. Marks read A and B of VII , Design, of the Concept Plan, as a reference. Mr. Haggerty reminded those present that the appearance and maintenance of the building will be the deciding factor in the rentability of the building. The public hearing closed at 8 : 24 p.m. • Mr. Hedlund said the commercial area has been named "Apache East" and a sign identifying it as such will be the only ground sign. He added, though, there will be tenant identification on each building.
