<br />rl; ~\.J <br />( ~ <br />1ft{ <br /> <br /> <br />ITEM 7.12 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNE~~ <br />JULY 18, 1994 <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: UPDATE ON DARKENWALD FAMILY <br />PARTNERSHIP: AUTO MALL <br />PROPOSAL, CASE NO. CU 94-11 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />At the request of the City Council, a public hearing notice has been mailed to <br />the paper advertising a public hearing by the City Council for August 1, <br />1994, to review the Darkenwald Family Partnership proposal. Notices will <br />also be mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. <br />When this item was presented two weeks ago, the City Council directed the <br />City Attorney to prepare a resolution of denial. At the same time, the City <br />Council informed the developers that they may take this opportunity to <br />revise their plans according to the comments and concerns expressed at the <br />Planning Commission and City Council meetings. The developers have been <br />in contact with myself and have made some revisions to their plans in <br />accordance with the concerns expressed at the meeting. <br /> <br />To assist the Council in visualizing the presentation of the auto mall building <br />and proposed overhead doors for JR Tech towards the Guardian Angels <br />facility, the developer has installed some 2 x 4's in the ground representing <br />the proposed building and overhead doors. The northerly post is the north <br />corner of the building. The cluster of poles in the middle represent the <br />overhead doors of JR Tech, and the southerly post is the south corner of the <br />building. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />One other issue the Council may wish to take a look at is the area next to <br />Burger Time where the proposed turn lane will be constructed. At this time, <br />the proposed turn lane will eliminate the entire green strip along Carson <br />Street and be replaced with concrete. From an aesthetic standpoint, it would <br />be most desirable to retain some green strip along Carson Street which could <br />be accomplished by adjusting the Burger Time parking lot. If the Council has <br />any thoughts on this issue, staff would appreciate hearing those either prior <br />to or at the time of the August 1 meeting. <br /> <br />darkenwl.council <br />P.O.
