(McNiesh and Zehm left at approx. 9:30 p.m.) -e Case No. 74-36, C. G. Rein Co. - Amended Special Use Per~ Wingert referred Counci I to the Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting of Tuesday, November 26, 1974, and specifically to the recom- mendations to the Counci I from the Planning Commission. Crepeau explained that Councilman Olmen is out of town tonight but has expressed his comments re this matter In a memo to the Council. In discussion of the several Itemized conditions, upon which the Planning Commission recommends Counc i I approval of issuance of an Amended Special Use Permit, the following concerns and questions were expressed: Wingert asked If City has a basis for passing judgement on pro- posed tenants. Lynden said that the ordinances are not that specific, and suggested, as an alternative, that the developer be ob I I ged to notify the City whenever it leases spaces, and to specify use for whIch space wi I I be devoted. Crichton asked I f the specified use of available space requires, for example, 50 more parking places, wherecould this additional parking be provided? Samuelson (C. G. Re I n Co.) suggested that shared parking, be- tween the office complex and the shopping center, is one of the advantages of the combined development - providing for over-flow i parking. It was noted that the only other alternative would be t,o acqu ire more I and, if available. . i Mr. Samuelson sa I d the bui Iding I s not designed for a medical bu II d- Ing; does not expect there wil I be many requests for this type of use - plumbing, electrical ate. , as we II as parking, were not designed for medical bu I I ding requirements. Wingert suggested that there are intensive uses, other than medical, which require more parking. Samuelson stated that the leases provide for parking for the ten- ants - our obligation to the tenant. He said that the plan pro- vides for 425 parking places; 405 are required by Village ordinance. He explained that the retai I shoppIng area wil I permit diversity in parking because I t wi II not be at Its peak parking need, w~en ... office parking Is needed. Wingert noted that the current ordinance parking requ I rements are very meager. Whl Ie this 4evelopment appears to meet the requirements, he anticipates some conjestlon. Feyereisen noted that there is no uti I ity storage area provided; it has been his experience that approximately 1/3 of the space should be provided for storage. Crichton asked If the amount of parking provided on, the present site plan Is greater than, the same as, or less than the amount on the previously approved plan. Mr. Rich (C. G. RelnCo.l sa i d this plan provides more than the number provided on the original plan. -1-
