IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. CGM BUILDING-Site Plan Review for 1,000 sq. ft. building addition. Location: West of
Highway 212, east of City West Parkway.
Hallett arrived.
Jim Povolny, representing the proponent, stated the Department 56 had purchased the CGM
Building and presented the plans for the 1,000 square foot addition. Povolny noted that Base
Area Ratio for the building would actually be decreased by approximately 1,000 square feet
because the upper story would be opened up and used as a showroom. He stated that no new
foundation work would be necessary and the exterior building materials for the addition would
match that of the existing structure. Povolny also noted that Department 56 was an Eden Prairie
based company.
Kipp reported that Staff recommended approval of the project. Kipp noted that the question as
to whether additional mechanical units would be required remained unanswered at this time but
that any units would require screening according to City Code. Povolny replied that a study was
currently being done to see if additional mechanical units would be necessary and Department
56 would provide screening if needed.
MOTION•
Bye moved, seconded by Norman to recommend to the City Council approval of the request of
CGM for Site Plan Review for a 1,000 sq. ft. building addition, based on plans dated December
5, 1990, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated December 7, 1990. Motion
carried 5-0-0.
V. OLD BUSINESS
A. SOUTHWEST METRO PARK & RIDE STUDY
Kipp reported that changes had been made to the Southwest Metro Park &Ride Study based on
previous Planning Commission recommendations expressed at the August 1990 meeting.
• Fred Hosington stated that the Study was not in an implementation stage. He said that several
possible sites had been selected because the SW Metro Transit Commission had not wanted to
limit it's options.
Hosington questioned Recommendation 1 in the Staff report. He believed that some
consideration should be given to what was being proposed for TDM. Hosington supported
Beverly Miller's recommendations for TDM and believed that the City was obligated to consider
TDM, if only in a general nature.
Kipp stated that Staff did not recommend actual adoption of the TDM portion of the Study;
however, suggested that the wording for Recommendation 1 of the November 23, 1990 Staff
Report could be changed to add; and to utilize the remainder of the Study for reference.
MOTION:
Bauer moved, seconded by Bye to recommend to the City Council approval of the park and ride
element, only, of the Southwest Metro Park & Ride Study dated September, 1990, based on
recommendations of the November 23, 1990, Staff Report. Motion carried 5-0-0.
