If the City denies the petitioners request, ",..it must state in <br />writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request", <br />4. Table for additional information, <br /> <br />PlanninQ Commission Recommendation <br /> <br />In Planning Case #02-20, the Planning Commission recommends that the proposed <br />Master and Final Plan Planned Unit Development amendments be approved with the <br />following conditions: <br /> <br />1. On-street parking not be allowed and be removed from plan. <br /> <br />2. The Developer work with City staff regarding the requirements of the <br />neighborhood business district to come to a development resolution that takes <br />into consideration the neighborhood business district requirements <br />understanding this is a PUD, but that they pay special attention to the buffer zone <br />specifically on the north and the east side of the property, and they try to meet <br />the full intent of the buffer zone. <br /> <br />To address the second condition, the applicant has submitted a revised landscape and <br />site plan. As the applicant's letter indicates, the building on the revised site plan has <br />been moved approximately 4,5 feet to the south. The landscape plan has been <br />modified in the following manner: <br /> <br />1. On the northern border of the property, six linden trees have replaced six river <br />birch trees. Both are deciduous trees that do not retain their leafage through the <br />winter months. <br /> <br />2, Two additional linden trees have been added on the northern portion of the site <br />where sod had previously existed, <br /> <br />Based on discussion at the Planning Commission meeting, it is staff's interpretation that <br />the revised landscape plan does not meet the requirements outlined in the second <br />condition, From staffs perspective, this condition would be more appropriately met by <br />placing a screen wall of Arborvitae on the entire northern border of the property and a <br />portion of the eastern border, If the PUD amendment were to be approved, this is the <br />screening preference of the neighbors to the north, However, it should be noted that <br />the neighbors proximate to the site are generally not in favor of the PUD amendment. <br />Fact sheets for both Linden and Arborvitae have been included for your reference, <br />
