Commercial Site Plan Review, Conformity to B-6 Standards <br />City Engineer Tom Kellogg and the City’s planning consultant, Phil Carlson ofDSU, Inc., havebeen <br />to comment on the enpneering and planning aspects of the proposed site plan. Please carefully <br />review their comments (Exhibits D & E) as well as the comments in the staff letter of December 16. <br />Phil Carlson’s comments of January 15 are in complete alignment with staffs thinking. The site <br />plan has a number of significant issues which sh^'ild be worked through at the <br />staft/developcr/consultant level before Planning Commission spends any time on a detailed site plan <br />review. For that reason, a review of the site plan details has not been included with this memo. <br />A public hearing has been scheduled for this proposal at your January 20 meeting. Planting <br />Commission members are encouraged to use the limited allotted time after hearing firom the public, <br />to identify for the benefit of staff and the developer any specific concerns you believe need to be <br />addressed with the site plan. Topics you may wish to make general or specific comments on include: <br />1. Site orientations, relationship to Stonebay residential nei^borhood, relationship to <br />12AVillow intersection, relationship to stormwater pond as an amenity <br />2. Site access and circulation patterns, impacts/pros/cons of drive-thm’s <br />3. Building materials and building design <br />4. Pedestrian access and circulation <br />5. Signage, lifting, and landscaping <br />6. Other topics of concern or interest <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff supports the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and die rezoning to B*6 PUD. <br />Planning Commission could take action regarding these elements of the application at this time, or <br />could table them so that die Commission takes action on all elements of the application at the <br />February 17 meeting. <br />Staff recommends tabling the preliminary plat and commercial site plan review, to allow applicants <br />to meet with City staff and consultants to work through the variety of identified site plan issues. The <br />intent would be to present Planning Commission with a revised site plan for a comprehensive review <br />at your February 17 regular meeting.
