General Business
(8.001) Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat, Development Contract, and
Assessments for "Creekside Woods" located at 17215 and 17135 Old Rockford Road
(Creekside Plymouth LLC — 2017033) (Previously item No. 6.07)
Anne Hurlburt from Landform Professional Services provided the following information in
response to questions from the Council:
The purpose of the RSF-2 Zoning District was to allow smaller lot sizes than the RSF-1
Zoning District and flexibility without the need for a PUD. It also helps the City meet its
density goals and is an efficient use of the developable land in the community.
The only portion of the site that requires rezoning is the former Olson property which is a
smaller lot. The larger part of the property has already been rezoned to RSF-2 Zoning
District.
• The proposed single-family homes in this subdivision are comparable to the
neighborhood to the west, although they may have smaller yards.
In response to questions from the Council, Interim Public Works Director Renneberg provided a
rendering and pointed out the proposed sanitary sewer plan. With this plan, the connection
would be in the wetland and would include an inside drop for the sanitary sewer manhole so that
the developer would not have to dig as deep for the connection. However, there could be long
term maintenance issues due to limited access. Another option would include a sanitary sewer
connection along Old Rockford Road that would then connect to a manhole near Kimberly Lane
Elementary School. There is a condition included in the Resolution that allows them to explore
this other option. He also pointed out the sidewalk on the east side of the cul-de-sac that then
connects to the access road for the sanitary sewer.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to adopt
an Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to Classify Certain Land located at 17215
Old Rockford Road (2017033 — Ord2017-14), Resolution ApprovingFindings indings of Fact for the
Rezoning of Land located at 17215 Old Rockford Road (2017033 — Res2017-215), Resolution
Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 2017-14 (Res2017-216), Resolution
Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 6 Regular Meeting of June 13, 2017
Approving a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for Creekside Plymouth, LLC, for "Creekside
Woods" for Property located at 17215 and 17135 Old Rockford Road (2017033-F — Res2017-
217), and a Resolution Adopting Assessments for Trunk Sanitary Sewer for Creekside Woods
(2017033-F - Res2017-218). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
(8.01) Sketch Plan for Chick-fil-A Restaurant at 3405 Vicksburg Lane (2017045)
Community Development Director Juetten explained a sketch plan is a nonbinding opportunity
for the Council to provide feedback for the applicant. He reported the proposed sketch plan is
not consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan or the zoning district for City Center. If the
Council chooses to proceed with the application, the property will need to be rezoned for a
commercial use and the Comprehensive Plan text would need to be amended to allow for a drive-
thru and PUD in City Center. Staff is not supportive of changing City Center to allow for this
use.
Peter Coyle, representing the applicant, reported they respectfully disagree with staff's
recommendation. However, because this is a very heavily traveled intersection, it's an ideal
location for a drive-thru location and a family friendly use to bring people into the area. It's also
at the dead end of a shopping center quadrant that will be tough to market other uses in that
location. Chick-fil-A Restaurant is a quality company that cities want to have in their
communities.
Jason Hill, regional manager for Chick-fil-A, Restaurant, commented on the history of the
restaurant, which focuses on customer service, food quality, and providing a safe place for
people to gather. They are different from a typical drive-thru restaurant, and they fit perfectly in
a City Center environment because they encourage community and gathering spaces. They also
work within the community with first responders, schools, churches, and other organizations to
provide a safe community. With the proposed location at the dead end in a shopping center, they
will work hard to come up with a solution for parking and traffic.
Mr. Hill provided the following information in response to questions from the Council:
• They believe this is the best site in Plymouth for the success of their company. Because
they only choose high quality sites, they have never closed a store.
• They do not have a traffic flow solution yet because there are multiple parties involved
and they are land locked because of the wetlands near the site. However, they propose to
create an intersection that doesn't have confusion and doesn't allow turns until further
into the development.
The Council pointed out this is strictly about land use and the proposed use fitting with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the zoning of City Center. The addition of a drive-thru would make an
already frustrating parking and traffic flow situation worse. They agreed that Chick-fil-A
Restaurant is a great company, and they encouraged them to locate elsewhere in the community.
