A motion was made by Robinson/Doering to approve the minutes from April 27, 2026. ## AYE: Stanger, Doering, Robinson ## NAY: Motion Carried. ## GUESTS AND OPEN FORUM None. ## PUBLIC HEARING – PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – ## EDGEWOOD VILLAGE Stanger opened the public hearing at 6:01 p.m. Petersen stated that staff received a complete application for a Planned Unit Development Conditional Use Permit (PUD CUP) from Land & Resource Consulting, Kuepers Land Development, Inc., True Blue Construction, EICHI, INC., and John McChesney for approximately 19.23 acres located south of Edgewood Boulevard. The proposed PUD would include 215 housing units consisting of apartment buildings, townhomes, row homes, and twin homes. Petersen explained that the PUD is necessary to establish the development’s dimensional design standards and zoning density. Todd Olin of Land & Resource Consulting said he had been working with city staff for several months to develop the project concept. Sanders reported that staff had not received any written comments regarding the proposed PUD CUP. He noted that a vegetative buffer consisting of various trees and plantings would be required between the proposed development and the existing businesses along the 1st Street corridor. Heather Smith, owner of Accessibility Solutions, expressed concern about potential liability for business owners adjacent to the development if children or pets were to wander onto their properties. Olin responded that the proposed vegetative buffer is intended to discourage pedestrian traffic by creating a dense, attractive barrier between the properties. Bob Crane, representing Haller Realty on the 1st Street corridor, stated that people currently use the company’s parking lot and property as a shortcut. He expressed support for the vegetative buffer, saying it would help reduce foot traffic and trespassing. Stanger asked for further discussion. Hearing no further discussion, a motion was made by Doering/Robinson to close the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. ## AYE: Stanger, Doering, Robinson ## NAY: Motion Carried. A motion was made by Doer…
