NEW BUSINESS Midlands Retail Center - Chair Leintz turned it over to the City Planner Brixius to go over the Site and Building Plan before the commission. CP Brixius did share that he recently heard from HJ Development and they are no longer interested in the shared access and cross easement. The applicant, Midlands Development, has requested site and building plan review for a single story multi-tenant retail building to be located on Albertville Crossings Second Addition, lot 3, block 1. CP Brixius explained that after review of the applicant's submittal there are 14 items of recommendation from the staff level. Add item no. 15 requiring an easement to the property to the south. Dave Roudine, from the architect's office, had samples of the exterior materials for the building. He went over the flow of the site - how the trucks and vehicles would circulate through the site. He touched on the snow removal procedure that would be put into place. CP Brixius requested that the snow removal procedure be put in writing. He also commented about the trash enclosures on the site. The applicant will need to address that issue in the future as well. . . . Chair Leintz asked if there were any other questions or comments from the audience or commISSIOn. Wagner made a motion to approve the Site and Building Plan with the 15 recommendations of staff. Kocon seconded the motion. All voted aye. Jim Franklin - Rezoning Property - City Planner Brixius shared with the commission that he had been contacted by a number of prospective owner's wishing to re-zone his property from I-I to Commercial. Based on the criteria found in Section 300 of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance, we believe that there is opportunity to consider a change in land use for the property located at 5720 Barthel Drive. Site inspection reveals that the site does have some limitations related to lot configuration and wetland concerns. The current buildings on the site appear to be in very good condition; however, they are not conducive to the restaurant, hotel, or professional offices that have been suggested by Mr. Franklin. In conclusion, we offer three (3) options for the Planning & Zoning Commission's consideration. Wayne Elam has been involved with James Franklin. He would concur with City Planner Brixius' recommendation to ask for a re-zone to B-W. What Jim Franklin would need to do is come before the Commission to see what uses could go on the site. He had a picture of what they would envision on the site. Dorenbush asked about how much of the site is wetland. City Planner Brixius commented that at a quick eyeballing it would involve a lot. Wayne Elam had an aerial picture showing a better view of how much wetland is on the site. It would go before the January 13,2004 meeting date. We would need plans by December 29 or 30, 2003. The applicant is now aware of the time frame if they wish to continue. The Planning and Zoning Commission would like to see what is going to go on the site before they proceed on re-zoning the property. Chair Leintz inquired what the buildings used for. Was it offices? Warehouse? Wayne showed her what is on the site. It is an office building used for their previous business and a garage. 4.
