• ,."the Public Hearing was opened at 8 :04 P.M. for consideration of the Development Concept Phase of the Planned Unit Development application for lots 10-16 , Block 6, Mounds View Acres, Second Addition. Mr. Fornell attested that the applicant, Gordon Hedlund, had met the submission requirements and paid the $300.00 application fee. He told approximately a dozen residents who were present at the Public Hearing scheduled for May 17 , 1977 had been deferred to this evening for com- pletion of the submission requirements. None of the residents reported not receiving a notice of the hearing but after the hearing was over Bob Groothius said he had recently moved into 3909 Penrod Lane and wanted future notices of pertinent public hearings sent to him. Mr. Hedlund and his consultants, John Daubney, an attorney and Carl Dale, a planner discussed the application with Mr. Dale telling what changes had been made in the current application. Among these he suggested flexibility regarding the division of the southernmost re- sidential lot to allow a greater amount of backyard for the existing structure which Mr. Hedlund proposes to convert to a beauty shop. The easterly portion of this lot which is to be developed for a single family residence could range from 80 to 120 feet deep the latter amount being that of the other 9 'single family dwelling lots proposed to be built along Penrod Lane.

Pro- vision is made for 95 off street parking spaces , at this time; the exact need will be determined by the types of business which will occupy these buildings. Mr. Dale said the northernmost of the three buildings would be reduced in size in order that access might be pro- vided to the properties north of the Hedlund property and a permanent easement would be granted to accomodate "a logical extension of the Hedlund plan to these properties" . Mr. Dale said no more than 57% of the project will be dedicated to the commercial usages listed in the plan and the developer said occupancy permits will govern the types of business which will go into the development and these will be subject to staff review and controlled by the Council under the occupancy permit procedures which will be forthcoming under the second state of the plan. No more than 50% of any building will be used for "C" purposes and none of the buildings will be a free standing restaurant. Screening of the commercial area from the residential will be provided by the commercial owners on the commercial land when need is presented when the • (3)
