So, we are looking again at a final plat and a conditional use permit for shared parking agreement for five parking spaces.

We are looking that it takes approximately 5 to 6 weeks to deploy everything and have it started. So we're looking at a February 1st, 2027 start dig... We anticipate being done very shortly within a month of that road closure being done. So it aligns nicely to be able to get the hotel open and running March of 2028.

If the hotel is charging occupants for using the parking facility in the hotel, wouldn't that mean that naturally people are going to use the five shared parking spots first? I I I just wonder if this is really a facade and and are the parking spots really available to the public?

I think it's important to know that the shared parking is done exactly how the city has done all the shared parking. We are not an exception... We actually created all of that parking that is around the site. That would all belong to the Creamery and I put all of that parking to the city. So we're not we're following all the rules that you've applied to all of the wonderful gentlemen that have come before you.

Chair and Commissioners, this is a conditional use permit request, so you can require reasonable conditions such as hourly restrictions if you'd like for consideration by the City Council.

So, tonight, we're reviewing a sketch plat just to get feedback back to the applicant. There aren't any approvals or actions taken tonight. We just want to provide them guidance as they start moving forward with any other potential future submittals.

Uh the developer would be exceeding that requirement by dedicating 7 acres of parkland to the city for this future trail corridor.

Stating concerns regarding the feasibility of the acquisition and construction of the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail Corridor. They also expressed concerns with increased traffic on Sky Drive and Lakes Parkway...

Um overall, we're still right around that three and a half, which will be our 2050 comp plan requirement. Uh this proposal, putting it in a district that is slightly less dense, would bring down our overall density a little bit.

It's tricky because we're speaking on behalf of future shareholders and owners of the cooperative, and so that's always a tricky spot that we're in right now, but I would say umuh in general, we would support uh any sort of potential for additional easement discussion if that's what it required to get a safe trail connection to to downtown. That's going to benefit those members in the future, and so if that's something that that comes onto the table, we would be absolutely open to discussing a number of different scenarios, I think.
