Councilmember Strommen clarified by having the development contract as one of the contingeacies for this approval this can still be negotiated out. Assistant Public Works Director Otson replied it is staff's intention now that they know they are working on the master development agreement to work towards that. He hopes Shingobee Development understands they will be negotiating how and if that gets paid back. Representative of Shingobee stated he wants to be sure it gets 'addressed in the secondary development agreement, which is contingent on this anyway and does not get settled right here.. Assistant Public Works Director Olson indicated it will be in the secondary developrnent agreement where they discuss how Zeolite Street gets built and who pays for it. Approval of this is contingent to bringing back the secondary development agreement.

Case//9: Request for Final Plat Approval of Coburn's Grocery, Ramsey Town Center 3r~ Addition Case of Ramdance, LLC Community Development Director Frolik stated Ramdance, LLC has submitted a final site plan for approval for the development of a Coburn's grocery store .on Outlot I of Ramsey Town Center, proposed to be replatted as Lot 1', Ramsey Town Center 3rd Additiom The preliminary site plan approved in July proposed a 54,000 square foot ~'ocery store. The final site plan indicates that the store size has increased to 62,000 square feet. In accordance with the TC-2 district regulations, the City issued a Conditional Use Permit to allow the gocery store to exceed the 35,000 square foot maxim.urn. The Conditional Use Permit- allows development of a store up to 63,000 square feet in size. The initial development at 62,000 square feet complies with the terms of the CUP. However, it is staff's understanding that Coburn's may desire future expansions up to 70,000 square feet. This requires a CUP amendment, which is expected to be placed on the November Planning Cmmnission agenda. Community Development Director Frolik explained one of the features of the grocery store is the drive-thru pharmacy. In accordance with the TC-2 District regulations, the applicants did apply for and obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the drive-thru window. The second amenity associated with the groce~T store is the sale of motor fuel. Fuel sales are currently not a permitted use in the TC-2 District. The applicant applied for a zoning amendment to allow gas sales as an accesso~2¢ use in the TC-2 District. The City Council introduced the ordinance on City Council/October 12, 2004 Page 21 of 30 P35 -
