Director of Planning,Brad Deets,briefly explained that the Legacy Pointe Planned Development Agreement was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the December 11,2007 meeting and was presented to Council on December 17,2007.Based upon discussion at the City Council meeting,the item was tabled and the applicant was asked to make some modifications to the proposed site plan and building elevations so that Council would have a better understanding of the project.Additionally,it was brought to Staff's attention that the number of property owners within 200 feet of the property was not originally accurate.The original rezoning map has been adjusted to . reflect the buffer as identified in the City Code.Due to the miscalculation of property owners requiting notification,the applicant had been asked to repeat the rezoning process.All applicable property owners within 200 feet of the property had been identified and notice had been provided appropriately.The Commission was asked to make another recommendation to the City Council as part of the process.The Legacy Pointe Planned Development Agreement was amended in August of 2005 to accommodate the development of the Iowash Carwash.In that amended agreement it stated that in the event a carwash was to be developed on Lot 2 of the PD,an office building would either need to be constructed or bonded for prior to the car wash receiving a certificate of occupancy.At this time,the carwash had been built and received a certificate of occupancy without the construction of an office building on Lot 3 or bond supplementing the office building requirement.Tim Urban,of Urban Land Development,submitted the current request for an amendment to the PD to allow for a Jiffy Lube,characterized within the proposed Planned Development Amendment as an auto service use.Brad Deets also stated that there had been written correspondence received regarding the proposed PD Document Amendment and copies had been provided to the Commission. Commissioner Hoifeldt proposed that a definition of an "Auto Service"use be defined within the PD Document in order to differentiate from an "Auto Repair"use.Commissioner Schmidt suggested that the amendment limit the change in allowable uses to this project only.Brad Deets stated that an exhibit could be added referencing the preliminary site plan for the Jiffy Lube project.Jamie Malloy with Wells &Associates briefly reviewed the revised elevations for the project stating it would match the original design of the office that was proposed with the master design plan.William Lawson,1540 SE Golden Harvest Drive,spoke against the project stating concerns that by changing the zoning on lot 2 would set a precedent potentially allowing for a change on the remaining two lots allowing this same type of development.Commissioner Mook also expressed the same concern.It was stated that all C-IA uses would apply to the remaining two lots.Commissioner Dutcher stated that the commercial area fronting a major street already limits what uses will come into the area as well as being limited due to the existing uses.Motion by Commissioner Hoifeldt,seconded by Commissioner Schmidt to "Approve the amendment to the Legacy Pointe Planned Development Agreement."Ayes:Hoifeldt,Schmidt,Dutcher,Steele,and Airhart,Nays:Mook.Motion carried. Motion to approve the site plan for Farm Bureau Insurance (Former Casey's General Store).
