City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the purpose of this case is to review an <br /> updated concept plan provided by N.I.K. Management for the NE intersection of Ramsey <br /> Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard. As the Planning Commission may recall, a similar <br /> concept had been discussed at the January meeting; however, at that time, the concept focused <br /> entirely on indoor self-storage. The potential buyer of this property has revised their concept <br /> plan to include a mix of indoor self-storage units and convenience retail. <br /> City Planner Anderson commented as a reminder, in 2004 and 2007, the City did review a <br /> similar request on this site. In January of this year, the Planning Commission's direction to staff <br /> was to carry forward the assumptions from this previous review. Staff wanted to provide the <br /> Planning Commission an opportunity to review the revised concept plan and provide any <br /> additional feedback to the interested party. <br /> City Planner Anderson indicated the City did host a workshop prior to the meeting this evening <br /> to gather public input/feedback on the concept plan. Staff reviewed the comments gathered from <br /> the public and requested the Commission provide staff with feedback on how to proceed. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner Brauer asked if the County has provided any comments on the concept plan. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated in 2004 and 2007 the County was open to one access to the site. <br /> The developer has shifted the access to the north away from the intersection based on the <br /> County's input. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked if the temporary cul-de-sac would become permanent. <br /> City Planner Anderson commented the intent would be to make the cul-de-sac permanent. He <br /> noted a variance would be required. <br /> Commissioner Bauer was in favor of the developer continuing to work on his plans taking into <br /> consideration the comments and concerns raised by the neighborhood. <br /> Commissioner Brauer believed it made sense to put in a convenience store on the corner lot. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding access to the property and its surrounding vegetation. <br /> Chairperson Levine questioned what the main concerns of the adjacent residents were at this <br /> time. <br /> City Planner Anderson reviewed the concerns of the residents noting property values were the <br /> main concern. <br /> Commissioner Nosan expressed concern with the single access point to the site. <br /> Planning Commission/June 4,2015 <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br />
