The work and efforts of the Finance department are very much appreciated. Briggs: Mirrored Councilor Braid, thanking the finance department for all their hard work even through personnel changes and changing requirements.

Gallery Apartments Concept Plan at Intersection of West Avenue and CH21. Community Development Director Casey McCabe introduced this item to the Council. Mr. Chase, Chase Real Estate presented the item to the City Council. Briggs: Questioned about the 350 total vehicle trips and 97 units and only 350 vehicle trips would equate out to about 3.5 per unit? Chase: Noted that the correct number of vehicle trips is 354 and that per unit estimate is correct. Burkart: Noted that this has potential to be a very attractive gateway for the community. Believes that this is a positive project for the community with the chronic shortage of housing. Does have concerns about the intersection of 21/West Ave- have there been any discussions about a right in right out only on West Ave from both sides and creating access through the side streets about how to resolve? McCabe: There has not been any discussions about traffic as of yet. Burkhart: Has there been discussions with the Prior Lake Revival about the traffic access? McCabe: Not at this time. Burkart: Is there a sidewalk on West Ave down to 21? There should be one for citizens to access the trail on 21. Noting not on board on providing TIFF for any market rate project, are you in need of one? Chase: Not at this time. Braid: Also has concerns about West and the traffic that is generated. Additionally concerned that there is no commercial component with this project. The Council and EDA are working hard for more commercial options. Would also like to see a full traffic study. Believes a road connection to Duluth would be beneficial. Would not support a TIFF, variance request or PUD with this project. Would much prefer if they came back with some form of a commercial component. Chase: Noted that historically a commercial component has not been beneficial in past similar pro- jects. Churchill: Have they had any discussions with the neighbors, or do you plan to have any discus- sions with the neighbors? Chase: Not all of them but that is in the future plan. The neighbor that is clearly and directly im- pacted has been talked to. Briggs: Hesitant to make comments at this stage of the projects. The aspect of not wanting to use CERC or planning commission and their feedback for this project doesn’t sit well with him. Concerns for traffic flow with this project. Believes there has been requests for certain easements with this intersection in the past. Historically the county has wanted to improve their intersections and this 4 05 16 2022 City Council Meeting Minutes one is horrible. Would also like an additional traffic study as the 3.5 trips per day per unit strikes him as a low number. Chase: Noted that he is a resident of Prior Lake and understand the traffic concerns. He is willing to review the drive lane, which is based off soil quality access. PUBLIC HEARINGS 7A.

Approval of Resolution 22-071 Approving a Public Property Use Permit (PPUP) to Allow Outdoor Seating on the Public Sidewalk Adjacent to 16186 Main Avenue SE Community Development Director McCabe presented the agenda item to council. Burkart: Concerns about the food truck that parks adjacent to the bakery where this outdoor seating is proposed during the farmer’s market as it creates a bottleneck of pedestrians. Briggs: Inviting the applicant to speak; during farmers market where would these tables be in rela- tion to the food truck. Joe and Laurie Lin, Edelweiss: Noted concerns with their Skillet Joes’ food truck in the location it has historically been (Dakota Street) as it gets to be a bit of a pedestrian traffic jam on that sidewalk. They have been in discission with the business owners as they own the parking lot behind the building, and they are fully in support of moving the Skillet Joe’s food truck to their back parking lot to alleviate the pedestrian traffic on that sidewalk during the farmer’s market. Briggs: This would also allow them to leave their tables outside the entire time. Churchill: Is alcohol going to be served outside? And would it have to be roped off? Joe and Laurie Lin, Edelweiss: Yes, they plan to have a barrier to enclose that area off. Wedel: Noting per the regulations that alcohol service just needs to be served to a designated area so serving just at tables would be acceptable. MOTION BY BURKART SECOND BY CHURCHILL, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 22-071 A PUB- LIC PROPERTY USE PERMIT (PPUP) TO ALLOW OUTDOOR SEATING ON THE PUBLIC SIDE- WALK ADJACENT TO 16186 MAIN AVENUE SE.
