City Council Minutes June 3, 1985 Page Three ., Mr. John Griese stated that he felt that the prov~s~on for change in a planned unit development was necessary, in that a planned unit development is just that; a plan for development and that the developer cannot anticipate what the specific needs of a City are going to be at the onset of the process, and must be dealt with as the PUD actually develops. Mayor Hinkel opened the public hearing, and asked for comments from the City Council. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she was not in favor of more changes in the PUD, but that in this case, she fel t the intent of the exclusion of auto service cente.rs in the original PUD agreement was to prevent gas stations with auto repair from being allowed in the PUD. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he was in agreement with Councilmember Gunkel arid that as far as the issue of the subdivision of the property on which the Goodyear Service Center would be located, he felt since a larger store such as K-Mart or Menards has not shown an interest in the larger parcel as it now stands, that it was only logi- cal to break it down into smaller parcels that would be practical for smaller businesses to occupy. Rick Breezee indicated that it was his opinion that the plan as presented was a better plan and that the Council would have the opportunity to address the actual site for the Goodyear Auto Service Center in regard to signing, utilities, hours of operation, landscaping, etc. in the site plan review. COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL MOVED TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR THE REPLAT OF LOT 7, BLOCK 2, ELK RIVER PLAZA TO ELK RIVER PLAZA 2ND ADDITION. COUNCILMEMBER ENGSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that now that the Council has dealt with two PUDS, she felt the City Council should. consider taking a look at the PUD ordinance, and that the procedures outlined in the ordinance seem somewhat out of sync with what actually happens. Discussion was carried on regarding the issue of adding a Goodyear Auto Service Center as a permitted use in the area in question. Councilmember Engstrom indicated that he felt the location for a business of this type was good. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT MOVED TO APPROVE THE ADDITION OF A GOODYEAR AUTO SERVICE STORE AS A PERMITTED USE FOR LOT 2 OF BLOCK 1 OF THE ELK RIVER ,PLAZA 2ND ADDITION, OF THE RE- PLAT OF LOT 7, BLOCK 2 ELK RIVER PLAZA.
