~ity of River TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Item# q.!. MEMORANDUM Mayor & City Council Pat Klaers, City Admini Michele McPherson, Director of Planning'~'' April 7, 2000 Reconsideration of Approval of ZC 00-2 and LU 00-2, Hoyt Partners Request Councilmember Thompson and staff request that the City Council reconsider their approval to change the land use and zoning of Parcel 3 (see attached map) of the Hoyt Partners request to Highway Business and Highway Commercial from Light Industrial and Business Park. Attachments · Location Map · Parcel Map Analysis The original staff report and the action of the Planning Commission recommended that Parcel 3 remain in Business Park Zoning. It is unfortunate that this recommendation and the discussion at the Council meeting of March 20, 2000 did not clearly communicate this to the City Council. Parcel 3 is located west of and adjacent to the westerly driveway of the Sherburne County Government Center. It will be separated from Highway 10 by the extension of Business Center Drive. While still visible from Highway 10, it does not have the proximity or the same level of visibility as Parcel 2. The location and size of Parcel 3 creates concerns from a traffic generation, conflict, and access control standpoint. After dedication of right of way, Parcel 3 will be about three acres in area. This could provide adequate room for three uses and would necessitate two access points from Business Center Drive. Due to the shape of the parcel, one driveway would be directly adjacent to the entry for the Government Center and the second would be on the reverse curve on Business Center Drive. Both access points are in poor locations. The types of uses permitted in the Highway Commercial 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
