Staff Recommendation
<br />Staff acknowledges that his site is an important gateway to the B-2 District, and yet remains vacant. Two
<br />other development applications have been reviewed by the City and approved in the past two years on this
<br />property, both of which did not come to fruition. Staff understands the frustration of both the City and
<br />developer to find a mutually beneficial and productive reuse of this property. In that vein, if the Planning
<br />Commission chooses to approve this application, Staff recommends the following conditions of approval:
<br />l. The project shall be completed in accardance with the plans submitted as amended by
<br />the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the
<br />City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City
<br />Council.
<br />2. Development agreements, drafted by the City Attorney, shall be signed by the
<br />property owners of Lot 1 and Lot 2 prior to the execution of the Final Plat.
<br />3. The applicant shall provide for park dedication in an amount of $ 6�'� ���"" � f��?`�.
<br />The park dedication shall be paid in full prior to the execution of the Final Plat, or the
<br />property owner shall enter into an agreement for a payment plan that is in accordanee
<br />with Section 1130.08 Subd E of the City Code. ���t �, I���c��c ��i���r_��� ��°���cpt��l b, ������.��ed

<br />7. The applicant shall dedicate to the City a twelve-foot wide pedestrian easement along
<br />the property lines adjacent to County Road E and Lexington Avenue, within which the

<br />for the City to implement a shared drive-aisle and parking solution to accommodate the

<br />The applicant shall not be required to improve any portion of property within this
<br />easement until a solution is implemented. ���v�� ��������iµ�� � r��.,��1���r.s�� ���at c;��t� �;�~
