Roll Call Ayes: Roe; Willmus; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan and Pust. Motion carried. c. Consider Request for Rezoning and Final Planned Unit Development Ap- proval for Presbyterian Homes to expand their Office Building at 2845 Ham- line Avenue (PF08-024) Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of Presbyterian Homes and Services for REZONING and FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) approval to construct an addition of approximately 27,000 square feet to their existing office building at the corner of Hamline Avenue and Centennial Drive, as detailed in the staff report dated September 15, 2008. Mr. Lloyd noted that building would provide additional corporate office space, formal lobbies, conference rooms, staff resource areas, and space for employee training seminars. Mr. Lloyd reviewed changes to the proposal since General Concept approval, in- cluding reduction in the proposed building size; utilization of the existing brick dumpster enclosure, rather than indoors; retrieval of documentation for an exist- ing parking access easement (Attachment F), making a new easement unneces- sary; reduced sidewalk width from six feet to four feet; and reduced length of the building by approximately twenty feet (20'), resulting in a building setback of 22' from the southern side property line, negating the need to record documents re- lated to the side property line for the office and adjacent shopping center proper- ties.
