RE: PUD Amendment request
Dear Bill,
Thank you again for meeting with me on October 21 to discuss Andersen's proposal on amending the
current PUD to allow for the $50,000 sum in lieu of the trail considerations. The Park Board will be
discussing this proposal on Monday, November 15 2004 at 6:30 p.m. here at the City Hall and will
(hopefully) be forthcoming with a recommendation on the proposal to the City Council for the 1st meeting
in December (12/14/04).
Should the Council ultimately agree to the change, we will still have the formality of the actual PUD
Amendment to deal with, but should be fairly straightforward and a minor amendment process. Should the
Council wish to proceed with the current plan, the Council will review the MOU that you also have
submitted.
Please note that the City is bound to very specific zoning requirements when it comes to dealing with
written requests for zoning actions including PUD amendments. Accordiney, this letter does need to
convey to you that the City does not consider your letter dated October 20 as an "application" for a PUD
amendment but rather a starting point to complete this discussion. Such formal application must also
include the complete „application, payment of appropriate fees and the submission of the information
required (see attached listings). Should you wish to make this request a formal PUD amendment request, at
this stage, the additional information must be submitted no later than 11/19/04.
Otherwise we will continue to work under the premise that this is a more informal process, as compared to
the more rigorous standar& as required under Minnesota Statutes on zoning requests and timelines, to get
to a final conclusion.
Please let me know if you have questions
