City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />October 26, 2021 <br />Page 4 <br />5.1 The proposed monument sign on the bank site is placed and designed to meet City <br />2 ordinances for size and setback. If an electronic display is desired, the applicants will <br />3 need to apply for a separate Conditional Use Permit under the applicable code. <br />4 Staff comment: The final signage plans will be subject to permitting review at the time of <br />5 construction. No electronic signage is proposed, and wall signage is well below the allowable <br />6 threshold for the site. <br />7 <br />6.8 The lighting plan for the proposed bank site is modified to show a zero footcandle light <br />9 intensity at the boundary with the senior residential property to the west. <br />10 Staff comment: The plans have been modified from the original to show between zero and <br />11 0.2 footcandles at the westerly boundary. Staff would continue to advocate for zero <br />12 footcandles along this residential edge. <br />13 <br />7.14 Issues related to grading, drainage and utilities shall be subject to comment and <br />15 recommendation by the City Engineer. <br />16 Staff comment: The City Engineer will review final construction plans for compliance and <br />17 adequacy. <br />18 <br />8.19 The applicant enters into a PUD agreement with the City and post all the necessary <br />20 securities required by it. <br />21 Staff comment: This requirement will remain an aspect of the final land transfers and <br />22 recorded concurrently with the final conditions. <br />23 <br />9.24 The applicant executes the required land transfers suitable to the City Council. <br />25 Staff comment: This will occur as a part of final signatures and recording. <br />26 <br />10.27 Consideration of comments of other City Staff. <br />28 <br />29 The following are the conditions of Preliminary Plan approval for the Multi-Family Apartment <br />30 Building – 2401 Lowry Avenue NE. Staff’s comments are also included. The building is <br />31 proposed to be a four-story facility. The first level would be a parking level at grade and the <br />32 upper three floors a mix of one-bedroom (30), one bedroom/alcove (17), two-bedroom (26), and <br />33 three-bedroom (3) units. <br />34 <br />1.35 Access-related issues shall be subject to comment and recommendation by the City <br />36 Engineer, as well as Hennepin County and Minneapolis Park Board. <br />37 Staff comment: Hennepin County has indicated via email that the proposed driveway <br />38 location is appropriate. The County also required a potential connection to the property to the <br />39 east, upon a future realignment of access points along Kenzie Terrace. The applicant has <br />40 provided a plan with that option, although any requirement for construction is a future <br />41 consideration only. Final permitting will require County approval. <br />42 <br />2.43 The applicant adds foundation plantings along the Stinson and Kenzie frontages of the <br />44 residential building. <br />45 Staff comment: The Final PUD landscape plans include this condition, and respond to other <br />46 Preliminary Plan PUD comments.
