Dunsmore, 2525/2535/2545 Shadywood Road — Sketch Plan <br />Review <br />Thomas Dunsmore was present. <br />• Weinberger stated that the applicant had proposed a 9 -unit office development on a 3.7 <br />acre property. Each office unit would be privately owned, but the units would share a <br />parking lot, pond, landscaped areas, and sidewalk. He stated there was currently no <br />zoning for that use and suggested adopting a PUD ordinance. The property is just south of <br />the County Roads 15 and 19 intersection. On one side of the property, the zoning is B4, a <br />general business district with offices allowed. The other side was zoned residential. <br />• <br />The Planning Commission's main concern was if the development would function well <br />with the land around it. They suggested reducing the plan to 8 units, in order to reduce <br />parking requirements and increase open green space. Also, less construction on the back <br />parcel could help reduce flooding of Kelly Avenue. They also suggested that the office <br />complex and neighboring church could agree to use each other's parking lots for overflow <br />parking since their times of operation would not generally coincide. <br />White stated he felt a PUD was a good idea and would allow the public an opportunity to <br />comment, but would like to see the run -off issue resolved and would like a sidewalk <br />installed along the property. <br />Mr. Dunsmore stated he had a responsible architect who has designed similar <br />developments in Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Lake Elmo, and other locations. <br />White asked if he would provide photos of the other developments for the Council to <br />view. <br />5 <br />
