'1/ s- I h~ I ..'~.._/. '0.. .:-.. 3. Dedica:ion and/or payment of.the appropriate park dedication for Parcels A-2 ~~R:~'~ determmed by the City Council. )j .y.., ~ -- '1 Mr. Ringwald noted if the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planing Case, then it would be heard at the Monday, July 8, 1996, regular meeting ofthe City Council. . Acting Chair Nelson asked for comments in support of the proposal. Jeff Smyser, RLK Associates, Ltd., representing Control Data Corporation stated that Control I Data was in full agreement with all the conditions except for two. He requested Condition 5 be reworded by inserting "prior to any further site plan approvals are granted on Parcels A-I and C" . after "...Fernwood Avenue shall be eliminated and replaced with landscaping". He also requested that rather than require 200 feet of buffer area, the buffer area be located on the easterly 125 feet of the wooded area. He felt 200 feet would place a constraint on development I of the site. Bill Franke, 1228 Wynridge Drive, stated he generally supported the proposal but was concerned . with the preservation of the wooded area. He noted there was currently a city trail to the west of the woods that led to tennis courts. If the wooded area is reduced to 100 feet, then it will essentially eliminate all the woods that run along the south area of the tennis court. He felt it did I not make sense to remove existing trees that are a natural buffer and amenity. Acting Chair Nelson asked if there were any comments against the proposal. No one came eI forward to address the Commission. Hearing no further comments, Acting Chair Nelson closed the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. . Commissioner Carlson asked Mr. Ringwald ifhe approved of Mr. Smyser's suggested I modifications. Mr. Ringwald stated he was in agreement with the modification to Condition 5. He stated he did I not agree with the modification to the amount of buffer area required between Parcel A-2 and the adjacent residential. He stated that the Staff s recommendation would provide for sufficient flexibility to a place a bay of parking with minimal intrusion into the wooded area. The Park and I Recreation Committee has also suggested to maximize the wooded area to the extent possible to enhance the park and buffering to the adjacent single family homes. He noted it is not I uncharacteristic to require large buffers between incompatible uses, such as industrial and single family. Commissioner Carlson verified that there was flexibility in the amount of infringement into the I wooded lot. Mr. Ringwald stated if a future buyer could justify the need for a modification, the issue could I again be brought before the Planning Commission and considered. -- I
