Motion by Kudson, second by Lundine. All in favor say I. Of approving the minutes. I 5 00:05:39.919 --> 00:06:21.600 >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries 6. The minutes are approved. Uh, next we will move on to public hearing item G1, request for site plan review for Serenity West. >> Good evening, commissioners. technology again. There we go. 6 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:39.120 >> Okay. So tonight we have the site plan for Serenity West which is at 209 Main Street West which is just located next to the current Serenity Circle um site on Main Street. Um the intent is to build a 4,368 7 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:54.720 square foot building um with zero setbacks to the front um which is allowed in our downtown overlay district which is also in the B1 downtown district central business district. Is there other one a zero setback as well? >> Yes. 8 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:09.919 >> Okay. I thought so. >> Um, so this is an expansion of the existing business located at 2011 Main Street West and this site was reszoned just recently 9 00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:26.319 um to meet the to be a D1 um downtown overlay district in the B1 central business district just a few weeks ago. if you recall that. And so upon that approval, the applicant was able to purchase the property. Um, and this 10 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:42.319 proposal definitely meets and actually exceeds the parking requirements for downtown. For downtown, we only require parking as it fits on the parcel just due to the nature of that district with the zero lot lines. And so, she does have parking. The one exception is 11 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:58.879 originally it showed in the site plan to put it on the street, which is not allowed by engineering standards. So, she will have to move one um potentially two. I was looking at clarify that with her this week um on the number of um 12 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:14.879 accessible parking spaces she needs in her parking lot. Um but the applicant is aware of that. Um the other change would be moving the bike area that you see on the um street side. There's a little bike um 13 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:31.120 close to the sidewalk in the top leftand corner um and that will have to get set back out of the rightway just so that we don't hit it when we're plowing sidewalks and stuff like that and don't have to worry about it. So she's aware of that as well. Otherwise, not very 14 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:47.600 many changes. Pretty standard. Um and have the intent of making all those updates prior to it coming to council. And so the proposed action is consistent with the city codes including setbacks and the property will maintain sufficient open space and preserve the 15 00:08:47.600 --> 00:09:02.720 site's natural state. In this zone we actually don't have um any impervious surface maximums like we allow the entire space to be impervious um which is the intent of the district. The 16 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:19.440 vehicle vehic vehicular and pedestrian circulation including parking will meet all requirements and the conditional use will not diminish the use or value or the use will not diminish the value of other properties within the immediate vicinity. Surface water drainage, sound 17 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:34.959 and light will not significantly impact neighboring properties and it's consistent with the city engineering design standards um except those met in the memo and which they intend to remediates. So, here's a zoning map. You 18 00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:51.279 can see um where the site location is and that it was reszoned to the B1 Central Business District and also part of the downtown Overlay district. >> Oh, any questions? >> All property owners in vicinity that were notified in mail. Correct. 19 00:09:51.279 --> 00:10:07.279 >> Yep. All 350 ft. Okay. Um all property owners within the 350 ft of that parcel. And it actually had a wrong heading. So, I know Jared did end up calling every single one of those property owners personally um that we had the information and reached out to them. 20 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:22.480 Now, it's just on a black screen. Um um did reach out to them personally to let them know exactly what the title name of that business is going to be. So, sounds good. Can you go to back go back to the page with the overhead? 21 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:44.200 Yeah. And leave it on that and uh we can open the public hearing if there's anybody that would like to come forward and speak on this. hearing none at this time. We will close the public hearing and we can uh discuss amongst ourselves. Does anybody have any questions? 22 00:10:44.560 --> 00:11:02.640 >> I do have a couple. Uh could you come up and just say your name and address for the record and I have a couple questions. >> 2011 Main Street. >> Sounds good. Thank you for coming in. It's exciting and I'm happy to see that you guys are expanding. I'm also happy to see the bigger parking lot. I'm sure you're you're tickled about that. So, 23 00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:19.200 I'm looking at the parking lot there and there's an an exit there on the Would that be the east side? Is that is that expected to um go to another parking lot in the future or is it expected just for plowing or >> Yeah, >> just for plowing. Okay. >> So, the cars can 24 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:36.000 >> Sure. Okay. >> Okay. Sounds good. I wasn't sure because it it kind of looked like they might attach at the other lot. Um, and also do you know how many feet roughly are between the two buildings? >> So, it's only like 15 feet from the east side of the building to the lot and then 25 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:52.000 there's got to be there's a whole um so the lot I'm on now. So, there's a whole second lot between the buildings if that makes sense. Do you ever do you ever plan on doing anything with that second lot or is this set up so that maybe if there is ever a 26 00:11:52.000 --> 00:12:07.760 plan that another building could potentially go in there, we might have to look at setbacks and stuff, I would assume. But has that been at all a thought? >> I left it open so I have the possibility. Okay, sure. Problem is I don't know if I'd have enough room for parking because my existed parking lot 27 00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:28.560 on 201. >> Okay. Um, >> okay. But that sounds good. I just I was just curious if you had thought about that because, you know, ideally, you know, we have these gaps in Main Street right now, the old existing gaps, and I always think, man, it'd be great to have something in that little space and you're kind of utilizing and bring it 28 00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:44.480 back downtown. So, I'm I'm happy you thought about that. You know, maybe it's your property. You might decide to do something with it at some point or not. And if we can facilitate that, if if we have to, you know, be creative on parking or anything like that in the future, I I would be open to that. um if I'm still here at that time. But uh 29 00:12:44.480 --> 00:13:00.880 thank you for coming in with that. >> I guess I have a question here. Um as far as the the parking, is it going to be similar to what you currently have where it's curved off from the alley then? Is that what I'm seeing here? Is this is the alley side here? 30 00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:26.959 >> I think so. >> Okay. Okay. >> Actually, I think I heard concrete curve. >> Okay. >> Most likely. >> I was just wondering what they do. >> That's standard. >> Yeah. Thank you. 31 00:13:26.959 --> 00:13:43.120 >> So, is that something that you would like to see if it's not a curb separation there between the alleys so people aren't using the alleyway for access? Is that your concern? That's That's pretty much what I'm looking at is like I mean that's a small alley. >> It is. >> And I think increasing the traffic on that it's going to it could cause 32 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:58.000 issues. >> Um for the people living there. So, but um yeah, I mean from what it looks like here, it looks like you just go off into Third Avenue um which is totally fine. And then it's 33 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:13.680 Yeah. leaving it on those main avenue streets instead of bringing it into the alley because I know that can cause issues in cities and >> Stephanie >> we do require it to be curbed. >> Perfect. So >> perfect. Thank you. >> Sounds good. Thank you. Any other 34 00:14:13.680 --> 00:14:30.160 questions from the board? >> Just going to mention that Woodsth is I've done a lot of work with those. Those guys are pretty good and she paid a lot of money for that. >> Yeah, >> it's North Branch too. They're close. They're not cheap. So, >> they're Wyoming. 35 00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:45.680 >> They're in Forest Lake. >> Forest Lake. That's what it is. >> No, Wyoming. No, they were in Forest Lake. They're in Wyoming. They actually took over the hospital that was in Wyoming and redid that. >> I did a lot of work on it. >> Any other questions? >> The engineer memo, I talked about relocating the bicycle parking, and I 36 00:14:45.680 --> 00:15:02.360 didn't see in the plan where it's where it was supposed to be, but I was wondering where it's going to go to. >> So, right now, that's where it's supposed to be, but we just got the notes on Friday afternoon, so they haven't been able to make the changes yet. Where is it supposed to be in there? >> So, right now it's a little tiny, 37 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:18.800 >> the upper left corner. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, it needs to be just back from that sidewalk. I don't think Do we know like how many feet or anything? >> It just needs to be out of the right way. >> So, I don't know exactly how far back. >> So, it'll probably be somewhere along 38 00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:34.720 that that private sidewalk. >> Yeah. things I'm trying to be careful of. You know, originally I had it back behind the building on the back corner, but I'm trying to be careful of the trees. >> I'm really trying to preserve as many trees as possible. We're really hoping 39 00:15:34.720 --> 00:16:01.040 it's only going to be the one that's imped. >> Sure. Good question. Any other questions? >> Otherwise, if there's any motions or recommendations, >> I make a motion to approve. >> Second 40 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:17.920 >> motion by Lundine, second by Peterson of approving as presented with the engineers changes. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? >> Motion carries 6. Thank you. >> I forgot to >> and and we're excited uh that you're expanding and we wish you the best of 41 00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:36.399 luck. question. >> Go ahead. >> How do I find out how many? >> I'll let I'll let you know that. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Sounds good. >> Thank you for being a valued business. 42 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:54.800 All right.
