He asked if this is pretty much a standard preliminary plat in the eyes of staff. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Development Director Hagen replied that staff does view <br /> this as complete or would have deemed it as incomplete before bringing it to the Commission. He <br /> stated that it does appear that the application will meet the standards. <br /> Commissioner Walker echoed the comments of Commissioner Anderson. He stated that he is not <br /> comfortable with this group purchasing the property with the intention of selling part of the <br /> property at a later date for the commercial portion.

He stated that he <br /> would prefer to see a complete plan for the entire site and therefore will not support the request. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated that he was unable to find the staff comments within the case.

He agreed that many of these items are housekeeping <br /> in nature, such as showing the setbacks on the plan. He stated that the applicant could make some <br /> of the changes and updated documents could be provided to the City Council for its review, or the <br /> conditions could remain for that review and the project could be approved contingent upon those <br /> conditions. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson stated that this goes through the full development review with every City <br /> department reviewing the plans. He noted that if one of those departments identified a significant <br /> issue, it would not be before the Commission for consideration. He stated that it is not the volume <br /> of comments but how impactful those comments would be to a layout. He stated that while there <br /> are a handful of comments, none of them raised to that level where staff believed it should not <br /> move forward. He stated that the recommendation is contingent upon compliance with all of those <br /> comments. <br /> Planning Commission/March 24, 2022 <br /> Page 11 of 18 <br />
