Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 12, 2015 Page 14 of 19 Delmage says that in this specific instance regarding the easement along the north, there is a 25' easement that the Lafayette and Xcel easements are within. In this circumstance, it will not be as drastic as you imagine. Summary and request by Staff and Applicant: Russ says this is preliminary and Staff believes that with the conditions, it meets the intent of Chapter 16 and Chapter 17 for a preliminary submittal. Closed Public Hearing and discussion by Commission: Brauneis is excited and interested to see this develop further. He is in support. Moline thinks we are at a good place. It is difficult to look at bubbles on a plan and try to visualize what will happen. From what I understand, I am in support. Russell is excited about the project. I am bitterly disappointed that we lost the Art Underground which is a huge loss for the project and the community. I clearly communicated my concerns about the roadways and am looking for some creativity in how to deal with it. Just because it is designed one way and in one area, it should not drive us into a continuation of poor design from a pedestrian and safety perspective. I hope there are a couple of feet reclaimed for the people. Rice thinks that for the stage we are at, there is sufficient particularity. The conditions outline the things that need to be addressed. I am impressed with the applicant's willingness to speak to and try and address the concerns that the City has as well as the other stakeholders. I think the process is moving along well. Pritchard is in support of this project. The conditions are outlined by Staff and the applicant has no problems with them. We are moving forward. We are in the preliminary stage so regarding the comments made tonight by both the public and the PC, I would like Staff and the applicant to take them into consideration, especially with the stakeholders to the north and around there. We know we have some issues that need to be addressed. I hope when we see this project come back as a final, these issues are all addressed appropriately so we can move it smoothly to City Council.

A resolution recommending approval of Preliminary Subdivision Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) for 245 North 96th Street to allow the development of 231 residential units and 18,406 square feet of commercial development, with five conditions, seconded by Russell.
