PLANNING:
TOWNE LAKES PAVILION -ROCK FOUNDATION
Dave Hempel made a presentation with their architect stating the rock will not be visible from the
street or other public areas, and mainly viable from the pool area and parking lot. The Council
disagreed and stated the rock foundation historically accurate, which was the original tenant, which
was considered in the approval of the concept plan.
.
MOTION BY Councilmember Fay, seconded by Councilmember Klecker to table the discussion
on Towne Lake's request for the council to reconsider the rock foundation discussed at the June ih
meeting. If Towne Lakes can come back with colored renderings showing the rock being a negative,
the council may reconsider, but strongly stated the desire for the rock foundation.
PHIL MORRIS PROPERTY CONCEPT PLAN
City Planner Brixius made a presentation comparing some new concept plans to an earlier one
approved by the City Council. The concept plan contained three lots including a gas station, stand
alone restaurant and a motel or retail center. The Council expressed concern that the architecture
accentuate Albertville as a "small town" and not stand out. Further the Council agreed with the
concept of three lots and that a full service restaurant or hotel would be needed to trigger an
approval for the gas station and specifically that a retail center would not trigger another gas station.
The Council would like to see color renderings and City Planner Brixius will send the developer a
letter outlining the discussion of what needs to happen next in order to proceed. No formal action
was taken on the concept plan.
KARST ON COVE 3rd
City Planner Brixius reviewed the Findings of Fact and Council Decision. Roger Fink reviewed the
building architecture and changes since last presented.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Councilmember Klecker to approve the Findings of
Fact and Council Decision, the Final Plat and the Development Agreement for Karston Cove 3rd.
Motion carried unanimously.
