Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11, 2009 Page 18 c. Approve Wellington Management request for Rezoning of 1126 Sandhurst Drive and 2167 Lexington Avenue to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Approve General Concept PUD (PF09-003) City Planner Thomas Paschke reviewed the request of Wellington Management for REZONING and approval of a GENERAL CONCEPT PLANEND UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) for redevelopment of the northwest quadrant of the in- tersection of County Road B and Lexington Avenue, replacing the existing TCF bank structure at 2167 Lexington Avenue and the adjacent single-family residence at 1126 Sandhurst Drive with an 11,250 square foot commercial office building and parking area. Staff recommended approval, based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of the staff report dated May 11, 2009, for rezoning of the par- cels at 1126 Sandhurst Drive and 2167 Lexington Avenue to PUD from R-1 and B-3, respectively; and approval of the request for a General Concept PUD to al- low the proposed redevelopment, based on comments and findings outlined in Sections 4 - 8 of the report, and subject to conditions detailed in Section 7.2 of the report. Mr. Paschke advised that, since the previous meetings of the applicant and City Council, various issues have been addressed at the staff level with the applicant, and will continue to be pursued. However, Mr. Paschke noted that some impacts and concerns, such as the driveway access, may not be fully realized until the pro- ject is in place, at which time they may need to be more effectively addressed. Mr. Trudgeon concurred, noting that the proposed visual impacts with the drive- way access and notch may be able to be addressed through signing, lights, or other warning options. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the developer had heard the concerns loud and clear, and would attempt to resolve the situation, and if not, a condition would be recommended by staff prior to final approval. [8.1] Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, approval of REZONING parcels at 1126 Sandhurst Drive and 2167 Lexington Avenue to Planned Unit Development (PUD) from R-1 and B-3 respectively, as detailed in Sections 4-5 of the project report dated May 11, 2009. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion; opining that, from her perspective, the applicant had not fully addressed the size of the parking lot and impervious lot coverage, with her calculations indicating 64%, which was a sig- nificant amount. Councilmember Ihlan further noted that the storm water man- agement plan yet to be finalized, and suggested further analysis of the number of parking spaces needed for a dental office. Councilmember Ihlan advised that, un- til those issues are resolved, she could not vote on the General Concept. Roll Call
