Robert TrailCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUi<IMARY FOR ACTION City Council Meeting Date: August 15, 2000 - AGENDA ITEM: Master Transmission Concept Commercial AGENDA SECTION: Planned Unit Development, 14805 South New Business Robert Trail PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner AGENDA s 4 ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolution, Site Plan & Building APPROVED BY: Reductions; Draft PC Minutes & Findings for Planned Unit Development I <Z*t� Applicant & Property Owner: Stephen Jensen Location: 14805 South Robert Trail Area in Acres: 0.63 acres Comp. Guide Plan Desig: Commercial Current Zoning: C-4, General Commercial Nature of Request: Concept PUD for a new building that blends with the traditional downtown pedestrian oriented commercial district— Zero setbacks Planning Comm. Action: Recommendation of approval (3 -0) SUMMARY Mr. Steve Jensen is requesting Concept PUD approval to redevelop the Master Transmission site on South Robert Trail, across from Kwik Trip. The site is long and shallow, ending in a triangle at the outlet of Cambrian Ave. to South Robert Trail. The current structure is located at the extreme northwest corner of the site. The property was rezoned from C -2 Community Commercial to C -4, General Commercial in 1991. Therefore, the transmission repair facility is a permitted use in the zoning district. However, with the rezoning came the required setbacks for buildings and parking. In addition, the west side of the site backs up to residential uses. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT - The basis for the PUD is to construct a new transmission repair shop that is consistent with the various recommendations relative to the Commercial District enhancement plan. A new building oriented to the street with parking and service bays behind the street fagade. The incentive to the City x611 be to have an automobile repair facility that does not dominate the street with overhead doors, and provides extensive green space on the southern half of the site for landscaping. The building would be constructed of a combination of brick and stucco. The service bays will be oriented north and south. The rear of the property will be screened by a 6 ft. x 150 ft. long concrete wall. The PUD provides an opportunity for a building that is not dominated by overhead doors. Strict adherence to the required standards would result in a building with at least six service bays facing South Robert Trail in a single line. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING No one attended the public hearing other than the applicant. The Planning Commission commented on the building design. They were not too impressed with the Richfield shop provided as an example. ` However, they did acknowledge that the proposal was for a smaller building and that the use was permitted by zoning. The PUD appeared to be successful in blending with the downtown commercial area. The Commissioners added further that the parking lot should be screened on the south side with berms and landscaping. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a resolution approving the Concept Commercial Planned Unit Development for Master Transmission.

The recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice on file with the City. Mr. Pearson presented the request by Stephen Jensen to redevelop the Master Transmission site by demolishing the current facility and constructing a new transmission repair shop. Mr. Pearson reviewed the site plan, architectural designs, landscaping, and greenspace. A PUD is required due to the reduced setbacks. In return for the setback amnesty, a six foot masonry wall, 160' long, will be installed along the western edge -for screening the three residential lots. The dumpster enclosure will also be masonry. In addition, significant green/landscaped space exceeding 30 % of the site will be made' available on the southerly portion of the site. Commissioners discussed the driveway easement and sidewalks, along with conformance to the streetscape plan. The site is zoned C -4 Community Commercial, which allows the transmission repair facility. Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the Applicant. Stephen Jensen was present. Mr. Jensen explained that the building is designed for low impact on the neighborhood. Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the public. There were no comments. MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Napper.' Ayes: Napper, Droste, and Weisensel. Nays: 0. Motion carried Discussions continued concerning landscaping, screening from the residential area, screening the parking area, berming along the south, and storage of vehicles. MOTION by Droste to recommend that the City Council approve the Concept Commercial Planned Unit Development for Master Transmission subject to: 1) Adoption of findings in support of PUD; 2) Coordination of the driveway entrance with the South Robert Trail Streetscape Plan; 3) Conformance with the requirements for PUD Final Development Plan. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes: Droste, Weisensel, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried. FINDINGS: In approving the Concept Plan, the Planning Commission must find as follows and forward its findings to the City Council. 1. The Plan provides sufficent open space and evidences a substantial preservation of natural features to warrant the granting of variances through Planned Unit Development. The southern 200 + feet of the site will be available for landscaping at a key location leading into the Downtown Commercial District. This area is approximately 30% of the site, in addition to other green space provided. 2. The Plan complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The property is designated for Commercial use in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The proposed development will not be detrimental to surrounding properties. The 130 ft long x 6 ft. high masonry wall is intended to screen the adjacent properties. In addition, the service bays are oriented north and south, with the west wall of the building providing further absorbtion of noise. 4. The Plan is more creative and will provide a better living, working, or shopping environment than is possible under strict ordinance requirements. Without the PUD, the building could be constructed ten feet from the rear propertyline with all of the service bays lined up facing South Robert Trail and parking along side of the south side of the building. Staff believes that the PUD encourages creativity that will result in a more attractive building located at an important transition area into the traditional downtown commercial area.
