Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 15, 2008 Page 9 Mr. Brokke opined that the entire team of contractors, subcontractors, and City staff were very impressive. Mr. Brokke volunteered tours for those curious about this new and unique situation, and for any individual or groups of taxpayers, or those interested in seeing a geothermal system in place and considering such a method for their buildings/residents for energy savings and sustainability. Once again, Mr. Brokke expressed his hearty thanks to City staff from all depart- ments for their assistance on the project, and thanked Ramsey County for accom- modating the Roseville Skating Center's displaced users during the construction period. Mr. Brokke also reiterated his thanks to the contractors. Mr. Brokke encouraged citizens to view the City's website and link to the geo- thermal time lapse display of portions of the project. 11. Public Hearings 12. Business Items (Action Items) a. Consider Request by United Properties (in cooperation with the property owners) for Preliminary Plat approval for 2990, 2996, 3008 and 3010 Cleve- land Avenue N (PF07-006) Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon provided a summary of the request of United Properties for a PRELIMINARY PLAT to redevelop the prop- erty at 2990, 2996, 3008 and 3010 Cleveland Avenue N with a 93-unit assisted living facility and a 95-unit, age-restricted cooperative housing development, as detailed in the staff report dated September 15, 2008. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed the background of this request and tabling of action at the City Council meeting of August 25, 2008, of the senior cooperative development proposal pending a legal opinion from the City Attorney regarding expiration of the preliminary plat, originally approved in 2007. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, at their meeting of September 3, 2008, the Planning Commission held the duly- noted public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat; with staff concurring with that recommendation. Councilmember Ihlan sought clarification as to who had received notice of the public hearing, with Mr. Trudgeon advising that notice had been provided to property owners within 500' of both subject parcels. Councilmember Ihlan questioned staff's rationale in seeking approval of the Pre- liminary Plat from the Final Plat, and why it was being separated out when the City Council had yet to receive a Concept Plan for the next phase of the project; opining that she was unclear on new zoning and preferred additional information.
