On May 17, 2004 the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the most current plans. Its recommendations were incorporated into a detailed Resolution approving the General Concept Plan (Exhibit A of staff memo). The resolution establishes the background for the approval and lists numerous conditions of approval to be met to gain "General Development Plan Approval," likely to be presented for formal action on June 28, 2004 with a variety of submittal documents. Gaffron described some of the plan's major features. Its primary access point is from Kelley Parkway for two commercial building lots, one for Walgreens with a drive - through and one lot for two retail buildings. Proposed parking meets the City's Zoning Code requirements as established for the site. A secondary right - in/right -out access is on Willow Drive. He advised that plans were submitted and included in the agenda packet for grading and drainage, lighting and signage, landscaping and building exterior designs and elevations. Gaffron pointed out certain notable features. Iii the proposed Outlot B, there is proposed a terrace gathering area feature that would need MnDOT agreement and subsequent maintenance agreement. It is a part of the developing trail system through the StoneBay residential area, which would use the sidewalk in the proposed commercial development as well as an eight- (8) foot bituminous trail. He commented that it is a pedestrian - friendly commercial site. Gaffron advised the City Engineer evaluated the parking, access and traffic plan and is satisfied with the plans. There is an intended double -lane drive - through for Walgreens that required a by -pass lane and the second drive- through is • not covered. Page 3 of 22
