Approved governing signage within the entire development (not including the future office development). The proposed PUD and Final Plat will be known as Long Lake Landing. On January 17, 2006 the Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary PUD, Preliminary Plat, and Site Plan and recommended tabling to allow further staff review of the proposed plans and research into the most appropriate land use mechanisms to approve the project. Most notably, a Northwest Quadrant Ordinance had not yet been established and the current MX zoning was not conducive to the development patterns expected under the approved Northwest Quadrant Framework and Design Guidelines. The City Attorney suggested that minor amendments to the Planned Unit Development Code and a rezoning to R-3A, which would accomplish a land use approval consistent with the Design Guidelines for the Northwest Quadrant. On January 31, 2006 the Planning Commission held a special meeting at which time the Planned Unit Development code amendments, rezoning, preliminary PUD, preliminary plat, and site plan were considered. Ultimately, the Commission recommended a conditional approval on the Preliminary PUD, Preliminary Plat and Site Plan. The PUD code amendments have since been adopted and the rezoning will formally occur as part of the final plat approval. There have been several site plan changes since the preliminary approval. Most are directly related to the preliminary approval conditions noted in the Resolution. The applicants have provided a narrative explaining their specific changes and the need for those changes. A summary of the site plan changes are as follows: ? Total unit reduction from 704 to 674: This reduction in units is directly related to the other revisions noted here. ? Re-orientation of the Sherman condominium building and its associated surface parking. ? Incorporation of additional surface visitor parking for the New Urban Flat and Urban Flat Rottlund condominium buildings. ? Shifting of Rottlund Gable and Row Craftsman Townhome units in an effort to provide a more prominent green space corridor from the north to the south providing a connection to the future City Park. ? Re-alignment of the northern entrance road. ? Incorporation of an additional infiltration basin at the south end of the site. ? Relocation of a storm-water pond at the north end of the site to the east side of Old Highway 8. ? Revised street sections for all three entrances into the development to accommodate right turn lanes that will address future traffic demands. Schiferl inquired if the Developers will be required to haul snow off site if it exceeds the snow storage capacity and if it is written in the Developers agreement.
