3. The lighting plan is in compliance with City Code. <br /> <br />Mr. Lund asked to approach the Commission on this matter. He commended the Commission <br />for how they have handled the planning and zoning for the Town Center. He believes they have <br />done a good job. He indicated the only thing he sees with the approval is there seems to be a lot <br />of conditions, and the public does not know if they are ever met. He was told Pleasureland was <br />supposed to contact him, and they have not. He stated he received plans that seem quite old, and <br />since he received those plans he has seen surveyors in his ditch. He has concerns also about <br />lighting and noise factors, and asked if the holding pond location has changed from the July <br />plans. He also wondered if the fence would be a cyclone fence or a privacy fence. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated if the fence is used for screening it will be aesthetically appealing. <br /> <br />Mr. Lund indicated if they have to plant trees anyway, maybe they could plant some on the <br />outside of the fence. He indicated he wants to see the most recent plans because he does not <br />want them encroaching on his land. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated the current drainage comes north and south into the site through <br />an easement that occupies Mr. Lund's backyard. He indicated Staff has directed the applicant to <br />outlet it into a ditch on Alpaca Street, however for a short space the ditch north of Mr. Lund's <br />driveway is the highpoint. He stated that because of this, part of the recommendation is to re- <br />grade the ditch and provide and outlet under the driveway. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt added a fourth condition to the motion: <br /> 4. The applicant shall work with City Staff and Mr. Lund to see how the pond and drainage <br /> will adversely impact plantings on Mr. Lund's property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer seconded the amended motion. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Brauer, Johnson, Shepherd, Van <br />Scoy and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Case #6 <br /> <br />Request for Conditional Use Permit to Construct and Operate the PACT <br />Charter School within the Ramsey Town Center; Case of Academic <br />Investments, Inc. <br /> <br />Presentation <br />Commissioner Brauer excused himself from this discussion, noting a professional conflict of <br />interest. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised Academic Investments Inc. has <br />submitted a site plan to construct a two-story, 71,350 square-foot Charter School on Lot 1, Block <br />1 of the proposed Town Center subdivision. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan <br />for the School on September 15, 2003 and recommended approval.
