To the north is the Katnis property (which is shown to be developed as medium density residential in the future). To the south of the proposed apartment buildings is land owned by the Lord of Life Church and proposed to be the Life Memorial Gardens. The Lord of Life Church currently has two accesses to CSAH 5 (Nowthen Blvd.). These accesses will remain, with the most northern apartment building receiving access through an existing access. The second building is proposed to have an access directly on State Hwy. 47. This proposed access is south of an existing driveway serving a single family residence on the property. This access will need to receive a permit from MnDOT prior to the second unit.being built. Once the Kamis property to the north is developed, the Lord of Life property will be required to connect to the road network on the Kamis property. Lord of Life will be responsible for the cost of construction of access at the time it is needed. Recommendation: City Staff recommends sketch plan approval. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the final plat of the Lord of Life development. PC: 09/04/01
