23'4" and that nine (9) parking stalls had been added. Staff recommends removal of the nine (9) parking stalls in favor of widening the dog park by twenty (20) feet and in doing so reducing the amount of impervious surface. The project would still meet the parking minimums if the nine spots were eliminated as currently the project is almost at the maximum of parking spots allowed (Minimum 1 parking spot per unit, Maximum 2 parking spots per unit). This is an advisory comment at this point. Lastly, Staff is working on the logistics of the final design of Center Street, which may have some impacts on this private site plan. The Developer shall be responsible for coordinating design of this building to coincide with current designwork being completed along Center Street. This location will be a focal point of future city events and as such the architectural treatment adjacent to Center Street is important. Alternatives: Alternative 1: Recommend Approval of the Final Plat, Site Plan, and Development Agreement for The Sapphire, contingent upon compliance with Staff Review. Staff is supportive of Alternative 1. Alternative 2: Table the request for Final Plat, Site Plan, and Development Agreement for additional information. Staff is not supportive of Alternative 2. Alternative 3: Recommend denial of the Final Plat, Site Plan, and Development Agreement for The Sapphire. The project appears to adhere to a majority of the COR Design Guidelines and overall would be a benefit to the community. Staff is not supportive of Alternative 3. Please note that this case was tabled at the April Planning Commission and deferred to the June Planning Commission. The 60 Day Rule, plus the one allowed 60 Day Extension will expire on July 11. Unless the Developer agrees to an additional extension, the City Council will need to take action at this meeting, or the project will automatically be approved per Minnesota Statutes Section 15.99. Funding Source: All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant/Developer. Currently, there are no requests for financial assistance. The Developer is responsible for standard Development Fees. Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #19-140 approval of the Final Plat, Site Plan, and Development Agreement of The Sapphire contingent upon compliance with Staff review comments. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #19-140 approving the final plat, site plan, and development agreement of The Sapphire contingent upon compliance with Staff review comments.
