• MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Planning Commission CC: Heather Worthington, City Administrator; Peter Lindstrom, Council Liaison From: Deb Jones, Staff Liaison Subject: Planning Commission Meeting and Public Hearing of March 25, 2003 Date: March 21, 2003 The SE Corner is again the only item on your regular agenda this month. Following a public hearing, you will consider the Planned Unit Development rezoning of the SE Corner properties and make a recommendation to the City Council on the ordinance. We must have a quorum for this, so your attendance is vital. Please refer to the Staff Report on the P.U.D. and attachments. You will also need to pull out the • narrative you received in the packet for the February 4 meeting, because that stands as part of the documentation of the P.U.D. The set of plans you are receiving replaces the set you received in February and is much more "final", although we still expect minor changes. Note that this P.U.D. includes the two multi-family developments only; the townhome P.U.D. will be considered later. Although we are asking you to go over the plans with a "fine tooth comb," you will need to keep in mind that issues of design and operation, including security and building code matters, ultimately belong to the management in most cases. We are continuing to make suggestions to the developer (and there will probably be some changes to report on Tuesday) when issues arise, but the decision before you is basically on matters that directly affect the zoning. The walk-through of the site that was postponed from last month will be rescheduled, but we don't have a date yet. It will probably be in April after the townhome P.U.D. is done. I have also enclosed in this packet a copy of the letter of support we gave to the Fully Developed Communities Group on March 6. Unfortunately, this group has gone on hiatus until the Legislature adjourns, and the future of the group is undecided. We will keep you posted on any developments. Many thanks to Tom Lageson and Barb Heideman for going to the meetings! Barb, especially, was a major presence in the group over the six months of meetings. The other enclosure is some information about a training opportunity that might be of interest to you. The Government Training Service puts on many valuable workshops for people who work in city planning, including volunteer commissioners. Please get in touch with me if you would like any additional information about this, or you can contact GTS directly.
