CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />Agenda Section: <br />Report Number: <br />Report Date: February 22, 2000 <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Site Plan Review -Totem Pole Park, Sunny Square Park, <br />LP-362 Freedom Park, and Hanson Park <br />DEPT. HEAD'S APPROVAL: Kevin Locke, Director of Community Development <br />MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: <br />No comments to supplement this report Comments attached <br />EXPLANATION/SUMMARY (attach supplemental sheets as necessary) <br />To consider four (4) site plan reviews for construction of new park shelter facilities in Totem Pole, Sunny Square, <br />Freedom and Hanson Park. The attached map identifies the locations of each of the individual parks. <br />As part of the Comprehensive Park Planning which took place over the last couple years, improvements are planned <br />within many of New Brighton's parks. The first phase of that plan is to tear down and reconstruct the park shelter <br />buildings at Totem Pole, Sunny Square, Freedom and Hanson Park. In general each new building will sit in the same <br />location as the existing facility. <br />Per Section 8-010, all building plans for construction of new buildings or additions to any building or structure other than <br />single and double family residences, shall require review by the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />The following report is a review of each of these parks. The current plan is to only construct new park shelter buildings <br />and provide landscaping around each. The landscape plans have not been prepared at this time, however, each park will <br />contain upgrades to the existing landscaping. Said landscaping shall be subject to review and approval of the City <br />Forester, who will be responsible for maintenance. <br />At this time there will be no revisions to parking lots, therefore, the City Council is asked to only consider the building <br />improvements. If the parking lots are reconfigured and setbacks are an issue, the item would be brought back for <br />Planning Commission and City Council review. <br />FINDINGS <br />• Section 8-010, Site Plan Review <br />PAST ACTION <br />• On February 15, 2000, The Planning Commission considered the Site Plans for each of these parks and <br />unanimously recommended approval subject to conditions (Vote: 5-0, and 1 abstention). <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Motion to WANE THE READING AND APPROVE LP-362 SUBJECT TO SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF <br />LANDSCAPE PLANS BY THE CITY FORESTER. <br />Cary K.
