July 10, 1989 City Council Minutes, Page Two . Planner John Bergly reviewed his July 5 report, indicating that this request by Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. had been before the Planning Commission on July 5 and the Commission recommended approval of the site plan for Stage I, with PUD Concept approval to be determined in six months, after receipt of approval by Rice Creek Watershed District of the entire plan, completion of a traffic study, completion of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet and resolution of the additional parking space required for the site as requested by the Commission. CASE 89-10, CPI SITE PLAN APPROVAL Bergly noted that the site is the former Health Club and that the old tennis court will become a parking lot with access to Fernwood. He noted that minor grading will take place on portions of the site and that a two stage landscape plan is proposed. Most of the landscaping will be interior and additional trees should be placed along Fernwood at the northwest corner of the site. The applicant had indicated at the Planning Commission meeting that Rice Creek had approved their plan, but it was pointed out that this approval was only for the first stage of development. . Malone questioned where the additional parking would come from and felt that the Alpo site, from wbich additional parking space may be negotiated, should request a better and higher use of their land than for parking space for CPl. It was noted that decked parking will be provided if the Alpo property is not available for additional parking. After further discussion, Malone moved. seconded by Growe, to approve the site plan for Phase I for Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.,'s site development project. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Malone also noted that he served on the Planning Commission when this matter originally came before the Commission and he appreciated CPI moving the loading dock, as this was a concern to the Commission previously.
