Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 2020 Page 3 indicated that the construction should remain as originally anticipated, the economy 1 notwithstanding. 2 3 Commissioner Erickson noted he was not a part of the original PUD approval discussion so 4 one question he would have is if there is a separate parcel, even if the timing does not change, 5 is there now a greater possibility that the second parcel could be sold to someone else and then 6 there would be the likelihood that the new owner could develop something that is not to the 7 specifications of the original project and could be something that does not match the original 8 plans. He thought that would be a concern and wondered if the PUD would cover those kinds 9 of concerns. Mr. Grittman stated the PUD would control any development on the site. 10 11 Mr. Casey indicated the project owner is on the line and available for comments and 12 questions. 13 14 Mr. Even Doran indicated he could answer questions. He stated this is a fairly standard 15 process for them and have done this multiple times in the Twin Cities. It is really about 16 timing and when the land is being conveyed and then financing put into place. Most banks 17 will not necessarily place financing on parcels where they think a different bank might come 18 in and finance a different phase of the property. He explained the bank does not want to have 19 competing interest in a blended single plat version of the project. Most banks today typically 20 require a plat boundary which is what is essentially driving this subdivision. 21 22 Chair Westrick stated this information talked about modification to the emergency response in 23 Phase 2 and would be subject to Fire Chief approval. She assumed this was not significant 24 and did not see anything referencing this in the recommendations. Mr. Grittman explained 25 that originally it was anticipated that the developer might construct the entire surface parking 26 lot around the entire site as they were building out the first building on the north side and 27 would use the south boundary parking lot as emergency vehicle access to get around the 28 building on the south side. The applicants are asking to modify that and rather than building 29 the entire paved area on the south side that they would have an interim emergency vehicle 30 access that skirts through the middle of the project along that boundary line temporarily until 31 the second phase is ready for construction. That is the intent of that comment. The Police and 32 Fire Chief have been looking at that and have been discussing that with the developer and 33 City Engineer. 34 35 Motion by Commissioner Socha, seconded by Commissioner Erickson, to recommend that the 36 City Council approve a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for Silver Lake Village 3rd Addition, 37 with the conditions as detailed in the staff report. 38 39 Motion carried 6-0. 40 41 IV. STAFF REPORTS 42 43 City Planner Grittman reviewed Worksession items the Planning Commission has been 44 working on over the past couple of months which have been put on hold and staff plans on 45 bringing those items back when a more normal type of meeting and quorum is available. 46
