The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 P.M. Gary Prazak, Chair � March 19, 1987 , T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Alda Wilkinson, City Planner SUBJECT: Set Date for Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Design Plan for Amendment to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition Mr. Ronald Schneck, owner of the former Golden Valley Fire Station No. 2 property, located northwest of Highway 100 and Lindsay Street at 1001 Lilac Drive North, requests approval of the Preliminary Design Plan for an Amendment to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition. The amendment proposes construction of a 10,500 square foot office building on the property. The original PUD, approved October 2, 1984, proposed development of four duplexes with zero lot line division for eight separate ownership residential units. Subsequent Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) plans for improvement of the Lindsay Street access to Highway 100 require acquisition of a portion of the property. The planned right-of-way acquisition reduces the site area from 1.67 acres to 1.14 acres and affects five of the eight originally approved single family lots. The proposed PUD amendment takes into account future right-of-way requirements by platting future right-of-way as an outlot reserved for MnDOT acquisition. Staff suggests that the Planning Commission set an informal public hearing date . of April 13, 1987 for consideration of the Preliminary Design Plan for the proposed amendment to PUD #43, Schneck's Firehouse Addition. �. March 19, 1987 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development- SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan/2010 Plan At the Mareh 23 Planning Commission meeting we will be going over the rating of the issues as we were assigned at the last meeting. Kevin has agreed to take the rating from each of us and tally them in order to determine the issues with the most points. The issues that score the highest would then be the ones the Planning Commission would emphasize in the 2010 Plan. I also believe that this is the time for the Planning Commission to give further review to the issues and add issues that may have been missed. Alda and I have taken the list and made some changes to wording and suggested eliminating some issues. We have also added an issue relating to identifying redevelopment areas. Alda and I also believe that there are issues that should be clarified, summarized or reviewed. These include the following: 1) C-5 Preserve existing ratio of open space to developed land, 2) H-6 Ualley Square Area amenable to pedestrian traffic. . . , and 3) I-2 Reduce property taxes by 50%-751. The items that receive the highest points by the Planning Commission would then � be the subject for the Saturday session in May. At that meeting the Planning Commission will give final determination to the issues that should be emphasized and give direction to the staff about how the issues should be addressed in the 2010 Plan. � - . .
