Session 1760 June 21, 1999 Conditional Use Permit shall become null and void with respect to the second and/or third buildings unless a building permit is obtained for them within one year after the substantial completion of the previously constructed building. Mr. Wagner said that the Plan Commission had reviewed the first version of these plans in April and recommended to Council to not approve the conditional use permit or the rezoning required to do the project. The City Manager's statement to Council at that time was that significant changes would be required. Since that time, the applicant has made some changes in the design and he commends them for their response in attempting to improve the design by reducing the sight line of the roof, thus the solar shading to the residential properties to the east. He sees that they reduced the floor area ratio and increased the setbacks somewhat and the building separation. However, the density, which is his main concern, is still extremely high for this project, exceeding the 29 units per acre of the Carleton Manor condominiums across the street. Mr. Wagner moved that this new design be sent back to the Plan Commission to hear their comments and wisdom on the extent to which the modifications have met their previous objections. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Munkel moved approval of the conditional use permit. Mr. Lieberman seconded the motion. All voted Aye, except for Mr. Wagner, who voted Nay. The motion carried 6 to 1. AGENDA #3 - PU~iLIC HEARING - REZONING 500-546 NORTH & SOUTH: Mr. Ollendorff stated that 7:30 p.m. this date and place has been set to hear comments on the proposed rezoning of property on the east side of North & South from our south city limits north 600 feet to the end of the residential zone. The property would be reclassified from Planned Development and Single Family Residential to High Density Residential. The City Council has previously indicated that this zoning will not go forward until such time as an acceptable conditional use plan has been approved. That action is recommended for later on this agenda. Following consideration of comments at this public hearing and consideration of the conditional use plan the next action that can be taken by the City Council is to introduce a rezoning bill on the City Clerk's docket later this evening. Since an excellent development plan has been received and the general nature of the project conforms to the City's Comprehensive Plan, Mr. Ollendodf will be recommending approval of such an ordinance at the appropriate time. Mayor Adams opened the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m. John Paterson, 51] N. Central, said that he lives right behind the proposed building site. Several of the residents have come up with a scaled model of the building project which 6
