FJT Properties for Oneka Square -Preliminary Plat, Rezoning, PUD General Plan The Commission held a public hearing to consider the application of FJT Properties, 4495 Lake Avenue South, White Bear Lake, for a Rezoning from Residential Service (RS) to Planned Unit Development (PUD), PUD General Plan, and a Preliminary Plat to be known as Oneka Square consisting of 11,671 square feet of retail and restaurant space located on the northeast corner of Highway 61 and 120th Street (County Road J). The retail center would consist of 9,934 square foot multi -tenant building and a 1,737 -square foot drive-thru restaurant/coffee shop building. The Planner explained the applicant was requesting to subdivide a 25.22 acre site into a 13.14 acre parcel and one outlot. The 13.14 acre parcel would be the location of the retail center and would need to be rezoned to PUD to allow ordinance flexibility to permit signage at a zero foot setback where a 30 foot setback is required, to allow 52 parking stalls where 74 are required, and allow a farmer's market to be located within the Highway 61 easement area. In exchange, the developer would dedicate an additional 39 feet of future right-of-way easement for Highway 61 and would include "Welcome to Hugo" on their monument sign. The Commission had reviewed a concept plan for the site on May 11, 2006. The applicant had since revised the plan to eliminate the office planned for the southeast corner of the site, relocate the access from Highway 61 to 1201h Street, and change the building architecture.
