WEST, PUD CONCEPT PLAN 8:08—9:35 P.M. Representing the Applicant were Chuck Alcon-Project Manager, Paul Carlson- Steve Paetzel -Architect, and Rich Revering—Engineer/Surveyor. Gaffron explained that the Applicant had submitted an application for B-6 PUD General Concept Plan Approval for the property located at 2060 Wayzata Boulevard. The property was rezoned to B-6/PUD in 2001. The intended use of the property is a 13 unit office development on a 2.6 acre parcel. The proposed office buildings would be one story plus lower walkout level, each unit of which would have a footprint of approximately 1500 s.f. The 3 office buildings would include one 3-unit and two 5-unit buildings. Total gross square footage of office space is 41,000 s.f. Gaffron stated that the intent would be to sell each individual unit into independent ownerships and plat a common area to be owned by the building ownership group. The common area would contain the shared parking facilities, landscaped areas, and sidewalks. An ancillary need would be to vacate portions of the drainage and utilities easements that were granted as part of the PUD No. 2 approvals. Since this application is at the PUD general concept plan/preliminary plat stage, Gaffron indicated that it requires review and approval of the proposed site plan. The PUD process allows appropriate requirements to be imposed by the City to protect adjacent residential PAGE 17 of 40
