If the City denies the petitioners request, "...it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request". 4. Table for additional information. Plannina Commission Recommendation In Planning Case #02-20, the Planning Commission recommends that the proposed Master and Final Plan Planned Unit Development amendments be approved with the following conditions: 1. On-street parking not be allowed and be removed from plan. 2. The Developer work with City staff regarding the requirements of the neighborhood business district to come to a development resolution that takes into consideration the neighborhood business district requirements understanding this is a PUD, but that they pay special attention to the buffer zone specifically on the north and the east side of the property, and they try to meet the full intent of the buffer zone. . To address the second condition, the applicant has submitted a revised landscape and site plan. As the applicant's letter indicates, the building on the revised site plan has been moved approximately 4.5 feet to the south. The landscape plan has been modified in the following manner: 1. On the northern border of the property, six linden trees have replaced six river birch trees. Both are deciduous trees that do not retain their leafage through the winter months. 2. Two additional linden trees have been added on the northern portion of the site where sod had previously existed. Based on discussion at the Planning Commission meeting, it is staff's interpretation that the revised landscape plan does not meet the requirements outlined in the second condition. From staff's perspective, this condition would be more appropriately met by placing a screen wall of Arborvitae on the entire northern border of the property and a portion of the eastern border. If the PUD amendment were to be approved, this is the screening preference of the neighbors to the north. However, it should be noted that the neighbors proximate to the site are generally not in favor of the PUD amendment. Fact sheets for both Linden and Arborvitae have been included for your reference. .
