Counc i 1 rrnfmb; r Neils stated the origin.rl concept plan was approved as a Planned Business Oevelo;Jment , hist thr-ough changes to the Ordinance, is now designated an M.P.U,D, However, both Planned Business Developments and M.P,U.D.'s require a General Development Plan relating to anticii+ated land usc, and buth require amendment to 0it `rldn when these uses are changed. Counc i 1 member Neils corrnrient ed he was a meriber of the Council at the time the original develupi,lont pl(n for Downtown Plymouth was dj)proved, and at that thne the Count 1 ayrtj,,,ed to ,na°}ntain flexibi 1ity with the uses in the Tutu,^e considering the scope and timetable of the (levelopment. 10.3- Regular Council Meeting July 20. 1981 Wage 204 However, he stated that the specific issue currently rased is the number of banks as a type of use --specifically the addition of a bank rather than just a substitution of sites. The City ne.%ds to be cautious in evalua'ing whether aO.ditional financial uses in the commercial area will change the character of the area to a financial center rather than the cirtmercial-retail area it was Intended to he. This involves more than a change of site location and changes the intent of the General Development Plan. Mr. Neils concluded that "footprint" is not cast in concrete, but we do want U, !pP the general pattern of uses maintained so that the Downtuwn Plymouth area does nct became restricted to one type of rise but remains a mix of c, 1patlble uses. Mayor Davenport questioned the developer whether he intended to maintain a variety of mixed uses so that the area retains the proposed downtown character. Frank. Larsen, Plymouth Hills Co.. reviewed the amended General Development Man for Nowntown Plymcuth pointing out the approved uses. Mr. Larsen than reviewed the history of the ,proposed Site acquisition for the First National Dank of Wayzata and stated it would be a detached facility and part of the commercial development on that. site. Mayor Davenport stated the Council does not wish to discuss the details of the issue before the Planning Commission reviews the proposal. Council - rlember Neils stated both the Planning Conniss ion and Council wi 1 I look CIO;-ely ji, the traffic circulation dnd access to Che iIte in the context of the General Devei(Apment Plan when the propossl is reviewed.

Manager Willis state:i M,r. Midd)emist should preliminary plat his land before get- ting a building permit sc that road alignment can be determined and his sewer service should come from the south or east.
