Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 13, 2009 Page 15 to allow the construction of amulti-tenant commercial office property (PF09- 003) Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon summarized the Request for Council Action dated July 13, 2009, and revisions to the original concept plan re- view previously before the City Council. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed those changes, including expansion of the landscape islands to almost double the previous con- cept plan, with elimination of one parking space; shifting of the original building location by two feet to the west from Lexington Avenue to better address staff and Council concerns for better site lines at access points to avoid pedestrians; pave- ment markings and signage for vehicular traffic to be aware of pedestrians; and reduced parking, now at minimum requirement, by alternating landscaping and parking spaces. Klausing moved, Roe seconded, enacting Ordinance No. 1385 entitled, "An Ordi- nance Amending Title 10 of the City Code, Changing the Zoning Map Designa- tion of Certain Real Property at 1126 Sandhurst Drive and 2167 Lexington Ave- nue to Planned Unit Development from Single Family Residence District and General Business District Respectively." Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion, as a matter of policy, based on her concern in rezoning without an underlying zone; and amount of de- viation required from the zoning code. Councilmember Ihlan advised that her primary concerns were with setbacks, amount of remaining impervious surface and lack of green space. Councilmember Ihlan suggested that the City Council look into the existing park- ing code. Mayor Klausing sought clarification from City Attorney Anderson related to su- per or simple majority vote on this request. City Attorney Anderson advised that his office had researched this issue and found nothing specifically referencing the need for a super majority vote for PUD's in Minnesota law. However, City Attorney noted that, since the PUD was being created by rezoning a former residential portion to commercial use, state law did stipulate that a super majority was needed for that. City Attorney Ander- son advised that, to be safe, the Council should seek a super majority vote. Mayor Klausing spoke in support of the motion; opining that the project improved the intersection and has had extensive review. Mayor Klausing expressed appre- ciation to the developer, Planning Commissioners, staff and the neighborhood in achieving the current proposed project; opining that they resulted in significant improvements that should create a plus for the neighborhood itself and the com- munity as a whole.
