Council Minutes of 9/28/2005 plaza as opposed to a piecemeal approach which has been taking place. That should be forthcoming with respect to landscaping and parking reconfiguration and even new signage. Fencing behind the plaza has already been repaired and will be painted. In order to insure that site improvements are made, the Planning Commission tied Value City's occupancy pernut to the submission of plans for the general site. The committee recommended by a vote of 3-0 to approve the Value City Furniture submission from the Planning Commission. Councilman Gareau moved that Council approve the proposal of Value City Furniture subject to the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker, and the motion passed unanimously. ~ Arbor Woods subdivision on Stearns Road. The proposal consists of creating 12 single family homes on a cul-de-sac on the east side of Stearns Road, south of the I-480 interchange. The zoning is currently Single Residence B, and the subdivision conforms to the lot size requirements of the district. Subdivision regulations require that cul-de-sacs be no longer than 500 feet. The Planning Commission recommended approval of a cul-de-sac which is approximately 680 feet. The Fire Degt. was consulted and had no safety or access concerns regarding the cul-de-sac length or any other aspect of the proposal. The Planning Commission required the applicant to provide sidewalks all the way around the development, including both sides of the entrance drive. Footprints of homes with attached garages have been shown to demonstrate how the units may be constructed and how they would configure on the lot in order to meet code requirements. Significant discussion was had by the Planning Commission, before referral to BZD, in regard to drainage and the desirability of the proposed above ground detention system versus underground storage. The detention basins have been modified from original plans in order to spread the impact of the basin areas. The edge of the detention basin has shifted so that there is about 25 feet between the basin and ditch as recommended by the City Engineer. The shift has been accomplished without moving the detention azeas closer to the building envelopes of the four impacted lots. The applicant went so far as to provide a tree survey, because that is a mature tree growth area, with the approximate number of trees to be saved and preserved and those trees to be removed by tree species and general location. Evergreen buffering and mounding has been proposed where the adjacent home to the north would most be impacted. The Planning Commission had requested, but could not require, the applicant to work with property owners across the street from the proposed development in order to install landscaping to shield lights. He felt that was going too far. The Building, Zoning and Development Committee by a vote of 3-0 recommended approval of the Arbor Woods subdivision on Stearns Road, including the recommendations of the various boards and commissions. Councilman Gareau moved that Council approve the Arbor Woods subdivision subject to the recommendations of all city boards and commissions. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Ryan, yes; Nashaz, yes; Bazker, yes; Miller, yes; Orlowski, yes; Tallon, no. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. • Suburban Collision Center, 26618 Brookpazk Road Extension.
