The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 15-012 and unanimously recommends approval (5-0) of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment for a drive-thru lane and pick-up window at 3673 Lexington Avenue North based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans as presented in the May 26, 2015, Report to the City Council, as amended by the following seven (7) conditions: 1. That the project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. That the applicant shall continue to abide by all previous agreements, as amended by the conditions of approval of this application. 3. That a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment shall be prepared by the City Attorney and subject to City Council approval. The PUD agreement shall be signed by the applicant and approved by Council prior to the issuance of any building permits. 4. That a building permit, grading and erosion control permit, and RCWD permit if required shall be obtained for the proposed project. 5. That the building permit for the addition shall be issued by June 1, 2016, or an extension shall be requested at least 45 days preceding this deadline. 6. That the applicant shall submit a financial surety in the amount of 125 percent of the estimated costs of landscaping (materials and installation) prior to the issuance of a building permit. The financial surety shall be in the form of a letter of credit issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank. The purpose of the letter of credit is to ensure that landscaping is completed in the event that the applicant defaults on the Conditional Use Permit Amendment Agreement. The City will hold the letter of credit for two years after the installation of landscaping. The letter of credit should not expire during the two-year period.
