Community Development Director Gladhill noted that easement will come forward in a separate document at the time of Final Plat. Mayor Strommen referenced the facing of the building and access from Sunwood. She stated that she is less concerned with the pitch roof but does agree with the statement requesting more glass, especially on the Sunwood facing side. She explained that would make it appear more as the front of the building, she does agree that for safety and operating reasons that is not the right location for the door.

He stated that the Final Plat is generally consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat. He stated that the Zoning Amendment would rezone the subject property to a Planned Unit Development with the public benefit for being about 15 acres of land that would be deeded to the City for permanent protection of open space. He stated that this area also includes a portion of land that is classified as having conservation value based on the Minnesota Biological Survey. He stated that furthermore this would preserve in perpetuity another segment of a greenway corridor along the Trott Brook. Councilmember Riley applauded staff for protecting a resource that is known to be precious while still allowing this parcel to develop. 1.
