Item 7 -Oak Corner Development
Jim Connelly requested Council approval of a conditional use permit and
variance for the Oak Corner development, located at the southeast
corner of 185t" Street and Kenwood Trail.
Planning Director Daryl Morey explained that Oak Corner Development
currently has two office buildings on the site, with plans to construct a third
building on the east side. Due to financing reasons, the property owners
need to split the site into two parcels. Once this is completed, six parking
spaces required for the existing buildings will be located on the new east
parcel. The conditional use permit will allow such an arrangement, and
the property owner has submitted a shared parking and access
easement for the two parcels. The minor variance is for the existing
monument sign and is a result of government action given the additional
roadway easement required for CSAH 50.
. Mr. Morey stated the developer hosted a neighborhood meeting in
January. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
