REOUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL WITH
VARIANCES FOR A 4.080 SO. FT. ONE-STORY WAREHOUSE BIDLDING.
NORTHWEST CORNER OF AUDUBON ROAD AND COULTER BOULEVARD.
PAISLEY PARK STUDIO STORAGE: RON SCOFIELD.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you. This is a two action item before you. Again it's just, there is a
subdivision creating a 7.6 acre lot and one outlot and then a site plan approval. The subject site
is located just north of the General Mills site, south on McGlynn Drive, adjacent to the existing
daycare. The site is zoned office industrial park. The subdivision itself is pretty straight
forward. There are conditions of approval there for the preliminary plat and we really don't see a
lot of issues. We are requesting just the radius on Coulter be changed to provide better, right
now we have some trucks that cut that comer so we're working on changing that radius but
really other than that the subdivision, we did ask for just some additional landscaping but that's
pretty straight forward. The layout decide itself. The building is well conceived. It is mostly for
storage and does provide additional parking for special events over at the studio across the street.
The architect is here tonight to show the colors on the building. Again, the small building for
this size lot. Under 5,000 square feet. Again providing some storage and additional parking
across at the street. We are recommending approval. There was some additional conditions the
Planning Commission added and that was a landscape buffer between the parking and the
daycare to the north, and revising the parking lot to better accommodate cars, around the median
just so there's better flow through that. The Planning Commission did recommend approval on
December 7th of this and 7-0 so with that we are recommending approval with the conditions in
the staff report.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. And those conditions include the two recommended by the
Planning Commission you're recommending as well, thank you.
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: Any questions for staff on this one? No? Thank you. The applicant is here.
Are there any issues you'd like to address to the council sir. Thank you for sticking around.

I have to respond to Todd's comment when he first, when we first saw each other this evening

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY CODE AMENDMENT FOR SWMP WATER
OUALITY FEES.
Lori Haak: Mayor Furlong, council members. Hopefully the staff report is real straight forward
so we can move ahead very quickly on this item. Basically it comes down to basically a
recognition by staff that the current way that the ordinance is worded to address water quality
fees is really not equitable to developers who provide ponding on site for off site storm water,
and the best way to really get to the heart of this issue in a brief fashion is to look at an example
like I have here. We have talked at length about Pinehurst this evening and I brought that in as
an example. Pinehurst is proposing a storm water pond just southwest of the now intact Lot 27,
and that pond. Please take no offense. The pond is treating a total of 21.78 acres and of that 21
acres, 15.88 is within the subdivision itself and 5.9 acres is coming from off site. The Shivley
