The final development plan for the PUD approved by City Council in December of 1984 stated that there would also be an out building developed on the property in which to store power carts. The amount of reduction to golf course open space caused by the construction of the maintenance building and bituminous parking and maneuvering area amounts to .075% of the golf course. Mr. Schmidt's transmittal of June 12, 1995 refers to the need for a rezoning application and resubrrdssion of a preliminary site plan based on procedures established in Section 170.0t6k of the Ramsey City Code. Under the current City Code numbering system, 170.016k (Planned Unit Development, Major Changes) is 9.20.31 (Sub& 4). What this section is describing is the procedure for making changes to a PUD plan mid-stream in processing. Much like when we approve plats, if the final plat submitted does not substantially conform to the preliminary plat approved, the applicant must go back to a public hearing and gain approval of revised preliminary pI~t prior to pursuing f'mal plat approval. This PUD was processed some I0 years ago and the zo~g and site plan are Finalized; our Code does not set out specific instructions on how to amend a f'mallzed, established PUD. For lack of anything better to follow, we can refer to procedures laid out in Subdivision 4 (Major Changes) to amend a finalized plan, but then to be consistent, we would also have to consider Subdivision 5 (Minor Changes). On June 21, 1995, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing and tabled action on the application and directed that members of City Staff, Planning Commission, area residents, and golf co~se personnel meet at the golf course site to review the alternative sites considered for the ~tenance building. ~ Wednesday, June 28, 1995, Commissioner Terry Hendriksen, Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frblik, Golf Course Manager Jef:' Toilette, contractor Bob Schwabolski, and area resident, Jerry Schmidt toured the golf course to look at the various sites that were considered for the maintenance building. Following the tour, the general consensus was that of the 3 sites available on the Rum River Hills Golf Course, the proposed site in the southwest corner of the property is the most lo,cal. An alternative site under other ownership would have been the best site (commercial lot adjacent to Hwy. ~g47 just northwest of the clubhouse). At the end of the tour, it was decided that Mr. Toilette and Mr. Schmidt would be at the Planning Commission meeting on July 5 with a mutually acceptable proposal for the development of the maintenance building in the southwest COmer of the site, should it be approved. ~ July 5, 1995, Mr. Jerry Schmidt and Jeff Toilette, golf course manager, were present at the PI~ing Commission meeting. It was reported at that time that the two parties had not quite completed negotiations for a site plan that would satisfy both Mr. Schmidt and the golf course board of directors. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment to the PUD development plan and a site plan acceptable to both Mr. Schmidt and the golf course. ~ July 19, a revised site plan was submitted to the City that moved the proposed building 23 feet further north and 30 feet further west from the Schmidt residence, altered the screening from the west and south sides of the building to the east and south sides, and replaced the 4 foot south and west berms planted with 2 foot trees with a double row of 6 and 10 foot trees planted along the sohth and east sides of the building. This new plan did ellrnlnate the tree-capped berm along Hwy. g-47 intended to screen the maintenance building activity and outside fuel storage tanks from the public right of way. It also only left a 10 foot wide landscape area adjacent to Hwy. g47 where a 20 foot wide area is required by Code. ~e structure meets all setback requirements from Hwy. g47 and the residential district to the sohth. The exterior facing finish is proposed to be vinyl siding which is in compliance with City C.~e and compatible with existing structures on the golf course proper. The facility will be served b7 on-site septic and well. The employee parking and equipment maneuvering area at the front of the maintenance building is proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curb. I I I I I I I I ! I !
