APPROVAL AND CONTINUING COMPLIANCE WITH SP-187 AND VN-301; AND WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTIONS APPROVING SP-187 AND SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Mattila presented a site plan review to construct a 4,672 sq. ft. office building. The property is located near the 200 blocks of Silver Lake Road. The site plan complies with the B-3 district and parking requirements. The building would be the final step in creating a tier effect of land use. The building would have a minimal impact on surrounding land uses and would create small amounts of traffic. The applicant, Mark Besser, proposes to pave the 10 ft. access easement along the south property line of the Silver Woods Office Building, and a retaining wall would be constructed along this property line. The City Forester recommends that the Dogwood shrubs in the median areas be replaced by Redmond Linden. A joint curb cut with the Silver Woods property has been approved by Ramsey County. Benke noted a wood retaining wall along the east property line, and asked if there could be drainage concerns. Mattila said the drainage and grading plans has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. The Planning Commission recommends approval. Mattila noted that the trash enclosure has been relocated. Samuelson said the front of the building appears to have less green space than the back and the south. Besser said the neighboring property, Jehovah Witness Church, is using the same excavating firm and has been clearing the property for construction. The area will be eventually cleared to provide for landscaping. Benke noted that the Silver Lake Road reconstruction process will begin shortly. Motion by Samuelson seconded by Larson, to APPROVE LP-304 SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. APPROVAL OF THE GRADING AND DRAINAGE PLAN BY THE CITY ENGINEER. 2.
