Page 4 - Planning Commission Minutes - June 20, 2000 Allen stated that the Chenoweth fence was in a state of dilapidation before construction of any Industrial Equities building. He is not interested in constructing a fence which does not provide benefit to Industrial Equities property, and feels this fence will be attractive and address Chenoweth’s concerns on the north side. Chenoweth does not have issue with the proposed fence, but feels her fence was damaged by the grading performed by Industrial Equities. Teague believes Chenoweth’s issue is separate from the special use permit being addressed tonight. Larry Justin, 1225 Imperial Ln., supports the data presented by Chenoweth, and feels Allen should replace the fencing. There were no other comments from the audience. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION Motion by Schiferl, seconded by O’Brien, to RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF SP00-9 SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: 13.THE APPLICANT SHALL CONSTRUCT THE FENCE AS PROPOSED ON THE SITE PLAN DATED JUNE 1, 2000. 6 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Teague presented an application for Phase II of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to develop the property th north of Co. Rd. E-2 Ext. and west of 5 Ave. NW. Main Street Village will include a mixture of uses including commercial, office and residential with construction in 3 or 4 phases. Phase II includes construction of a 12,000 th sq. ft. office building located south of 6 Ave., and 59 off-street parking stalls. Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions outlined. Because this development will bring additional traffic to adjacent streets, SEH performed a traffic study to determine impacts. John Hagen, SEH, explained that approach counts were conducted at each intersection, and research was performed to determine trip generation rates associated with future redevelopment. SEH found the project met two traffic signal warrants at the Co. Rd. E-2/5th Ave. intersection and three traffic signal warrants at the Old Hwy 8/5th Ave. intersection. Furthermore, a signal at Old Hwy 8/5th Ave. would require realignment of existing road approaches. Because these are Ramsey County roads, County approval is required for the signalization. O’Brien asked who would fund installation of the traffic signals. Hagen said typically funding is based on the number of approaches to an intersection, but the County may deem some intersections lower priority than others. These are four hour warrants which may be perceived as lower priority. Gary Vogel, architect for applicant, showed a colored rendering of the project. There were no comments from the audience.
