Counei 1 Mi nutes May 28, 1985 I Kreuger reviewed staff report, noting the applicant will continue to discuss the two other corners of that location in the hopes of ultimately developing the entire inter- section in a PUD at a later date; Krueger stated that Ron Christianson, representing Edwin Taylor, was present as was Dan 'Gleason, the project architect, and Bill Block, the civil engineer to make a presentation and to answer any questions. Krueger stated further that the Planning Commission has recommended approval of this project, Ron Christianson, The Skillman Corporation, reviewed the plans for the platting and the planned phases; Dan Gleason of Gleason & Associates reviewed the site plan and the building features; and Bill Block, Melcher Block Associates, reviewed the utilitips, drainage, and other civil engineer- ing aspects of the pr8ject. Blomquist questioned what the allowed floor-ratio would be without a PUD; Kreuger responded it would be .4, with PUD .45, I Blomquist asked about landscaping along Highway 96; Christianson responded they are only looking at the first phase and will be addressing the landscaping on Highway 96 at a later time. Blomquist asked Proper why the Stormwater Management Plan shows water running toward the freeway rather than the other direction (toward Long Lake), Block responded that Barr Engineering did the Comprehensive Plan with drainage incorrectly shown toward Rush Lake; Block clarified that it eventually flows into Long Lake, Proper stated he believes the topography was miscalculated when the Comprehensive Plan was prepared for this area, Proper clarified that the engineers overlooked the fact that water drains through an old culvert into Rush Lake; stated the plan could be amended without reprinting at this time, Harcus indicated he has been impressed with Edwin Taylor1s eye for detail and his ability to conceptualize the entire site, I Benke expressed concern about the sixty-foot driveway cut; asked if any kind of divider or traffic control had been planned; Blomquist had the same concern. Gleason stated Ramsey County would allow a major entrance for the northernmost building, and added that the develop- ers are rethinking the construction of the major driveway because of the criss-crossing traffic and the speed with which cars would enter the development, Page Three Rush Lake PUD-3, PL-140, LP-18l Report 85-145 7:39-8:l6pm Resolution 85-48 Resolution 85-49 \
