(GUIDANT) - 4100 HAMLINE A VENUE - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (MASTER PLAN) - PUBLIC HEARING Chair Erickson confirmed that the Planning Case was announced in the April 21, 1999, publication of the Bulletin and opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was proposing to update their Master Plan to include the recent addition between buildings A and B, the future proposed addition to Building B, the addition to Building E, and future parking lots to the north and east. The applicant was also requesting approval of an amendment to their previously approved Planned Unit Development to allow for the expansion of Building E and 221 additional parking spaces at their campus. The property is located at the intersection of County Road F and Hamline Avenue. The complex runs to F ernwood Avenue. The applicant also owns a portion of property between Lexington Avenue and Fernwood Avenue along the Control Data private drive. The existing Master Plan, approved with Planning Case 97-03, included the expansion to Building E. There was a recent expansion performed between Buildings A and B. At thattime the expansion was considered small enough to be accomplished under a site plan. However, with the current proposed expansion, staff recommended that a request for a Planned Unit Development amendment be made. The Planned Unit Development depicts several different expansions. One is the building that is currently under construction. This addition had been included in the previous Master Plan. A small addition is being made to the dining center at the front ofthe building, as well as an additional expansion to Building E. Additional parking areas are being proposed on two adjacent parcels, which are owned by the applicant. With this application, the applicant plans to do a site plan as well as the Planned Unit Development amendment for the addition to Building E and the parking areas. The other additions shown on the Master Plan are future additions. The building meets the current requirements for setback as well as height. The building exterior will match the existing building. The applicant is proposing to eliminate 82 parking spaces shown on the Master Plan to place the addition onto Building E. Because these parking spaces were eliminated, there was a need to relocate those spaces to another area, as well as add the needed parking spaces for the new expansion. The applicant has chosen to add this parking across Fernwood A venue with a sidewalk to cross the street, and to the parcel to the north. Handicap spaces will be provided as well as short-term parking.
