Public Hearings: LP2007-001 Site Plan Amendment e applicant is requesting an amendment to the Site Plan that was approved by the Planning Commission in bruary. The original land use application included a Variance, Nonconforming Use Permit, and Plat. With the revised proposal the Variance is eliminated. The revised Site Plan does not impact the Nonconforming Use Permit or the Plat as previously approved. The applicant has indicated the revised site plan is necessary as overall project costs needed to be reduced and further programming of the interior space allowed for a reduction in floor area. Zisla inquired how the park dedication was determined. Gundlach replied that staff a fee of $12,278 per acre would be charged. This fee was determined based on a per capita charge when comparing how many people live in the City per acre and how many workers work in the City per acre. However, Council was uncomfortable with that fee when applied to the Cheetah application due to specific characteristics of that project. They decided to limit the fee to the acreage that was being brought into the site, which is the single- family home consisting of .3 acres. The .3 acres was multiplied by the $12, 278 fee and the proposed fee was established. Norm Wells, Architect, stated the new plan has been fine tuned and works more efficiently than the old plan. There was also a need for added room on the east side of the building for ponding that is being required by MNDOT and the Rice Creek Watershed District. The Watershed District has approved the proposed pond and MNDOT has been made aware of the plans.. Motion by Baker, Second by Zisla to CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. I Aves, 0 Nays.
