Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11, 2009 Page 19 Ayes: Roe; Johnson; Ihlan; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried. [8.2] Klausing moved, Roe seconded, approval of the GENERAL CONCEPT PUD for Wellington Management to allow proposed redevelopment of 1126 Sandhurst Drive and 2167 Lexington Avenue; based on the comments and findings of Sec- tion 5 - 6, and the conditions of Section 7 of the project report dated May 11, 2009. Discussion included calculation of the parking spaces; noting that part of the im- pervious surface discussion was driven by City Code; the applicant's enlarging the parking lot islands to provide more green space; the applicant's allotment at a minimal level over City Code (4 spaces); need to avoid cars from the office build- ing parking on residential streets; and typical process for development of a storm water management plan after the concept plan and before final approval. Councilmember Pust suggested that, as a policy discussion, further discussion be held in the future as to the standards for parking stalls, which had been developed in the 1970's, and may need further review and potential revision in today's real- ity and with other methods of transportation available. Councilmember Ihlan suggested that, as a policy matter, the City Council con- sider issues, such as storm water management, at the concept level approval. Councilmember Johnson advised that he conducted his own on-site review of site lines and driveway access related to the sidewalk and his safety concerns for pe- destrians and bicycles, and strongly suggested formal signage for the site prior to final approval. Councilmember Roe addressed lot coverage, in his review of aerials of the site and the existing bank use, and opined that the proposed coverage would be similar overall. Councilmember Roe concurred with the safety concerns on site and pe- destrians and bicycles using the sidewalk. Roll Call Ayes: Roe; Johnson; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried.
