staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plot with the following conditions developer shall obtain the required permits from other state local agencies developers shall revise the plans in accordance to the recommendations contained in the Minnesota DOT memorandum as well as the comments that have been made in our public works department memorandum and Community Development memorandum as well

I'm supporting of this I don't see any problems with it I think it's a good addition to the area they've been waiting for a Caribou Coffee for a while I think now so it's finally coming so thanks supporting

I have no concerns I think the report addressed the questions around traffic which is I think going to be a obvious question and I'm excited to see the infill parcels develop

this has been more than two nearly two decades in the making from a development aspect standpoint Market values and property values fluctuate they go up and down the uh I we whether we put a commercial use in here whether we put a high density use in here whether we put a low density use in here there you're going to have fluctuations in market value but it's not necessarily going to be just because of the types of users that go in there it can be because of just the aspects of where the market and where the economy is on any given moment

we've listened to the concerns we've adapted our plan we think this plan satisfies the housing target so it gets the like what I think one of the Commissioners said it does brings you to the the limit of the residential that you need in within Jeffers Pond provides a pad ready commercial site which I think is a bad benefit and is consistent with the 2015 plan Amendment

I I think the building's attractive I think the uh the mix of of materials and uh facades although it doesn't meet the standards set forth I think it meets the intent uh and I think the height requirement also adds uh to the look of the building which I think is acceptable with the overall average still staying under

I think we've come a long way from where we were in April and I appreciate the applicants efforts to address the concerns that were raised and listen to the feedback I also appreciate the um kind of I think awareness to the bigger picture that you've demonstrated in your presentation it looks like a quality product with a well-defined vision throughout the commercial fits into it and I appreciate the pad ready message in the Pud

no matter what the outcome I was voting for yes on both projects now I kind of found that to be kind of a slap in the face to everybody that had taken their time out of their night you know just take time away from their families to come here and then have that happen so what are we doing if that's the case and you're going to have a an answer before anybody gets up here and has a chance to talk then why about her coming right so I just that rubbed me the wrong way it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way that that happened because they took their time out of their night to come here and voice their opinions and their concerns and a lot of the questions that we had never got answered so I appreciate your time thank you
