Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow vertical expansion of the A.S. King Fly Ash Disposal Site, known as the Moelter Fly Ash Site, located S. of Hwy. 36 and W. of Beach Rd. • City Planner Richards reviewed the July 3, 2008 planning report to the request for an amended conditional use permit to allow modification to its existing conditional use permit approvals allowing an extension of the 2010 site closing condition. Richards noted that the request stems from new law placing a moratorium on permitting new landfill until such time the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has conducted rule making to address the issue. Richards provided an issue analysis and discussed the same including the visual impact of the proposed expansion. He noted staff concerns as to the landscape plan information and the MPCA's acceptance of what is proposed as well as concern with the placement of additional fill upon and near the existing utility lines in the area in regard and access to the service lines. Richards noted that staff would like to have more information on the issues of concern and for Xcel Energy to hold a community meeting for the affected neighboring community as to their plans and has recommended that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing to their next meeting to allow time for staff to work with Xcel Energy and for Xcel Energy to hold a community meeting. Commission discussion ensued as to the new law regarding new landfill permitting and what options were available to Xcel Energy should the Commission opt to recommend an approval or a denial recommendation to the City Council in light of the law binding their operations. • Vice -Chair Wasescha opened the public hearing and invited public comment. Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 2008 Page 4 of 6 • Brian Jones introduced himself as a resident of 1533158 St. N. and the owner of a rental property at 15357 58 St. N, both in the affected area of the Xcel Energy's fly ash operation. Mr. Jones stated that his wife, Kari, has been sick since the project commenced and provided the Commission with written comment from her. Mr. Jones stated that that the operation at the site is dirty, noisy and that the vibrations are awful. He is opposed to approving the request and noted that if it is approved he wants his properties bought out at a decent price. Pam Patrick of 15365 58 St. N. noted that because she is not as close to the site as Mr. Jones the impact is not as strong, adding that this year has been terrible for their neighborhood, with the winds and the density of the dust blowing from the site. She stated that she too would like to see the operations cease at the site but also understands the situation Xcel has been placed in. She would like to see something cover the top of the fill site the 16 -hours of each day that ash is not being hauled into the site to help reduce dust and expressed her hope that a reasonable consensus could be found that worked for everyone in the event the operations must continue. City Planner Richards noted that the 2006 approvals to Xcel Energy required them to implement adequate dust control at all time and that an automatic sprinkler system was to have been installed to for wetting of the site. • Bob Hepna introduced himself as an East Oaks property owner and stated that he understood that more emission controls were put into place resulting in more contaminates in the ash material and sought to learn what kind of environmental study had been done to control the contaminates, the fly as dust and the site in general. Kim Graffunder of 5866 Penrose Ave. N. stated that he understood the situation Xcel Energy has been placed in and noted that it is important to consider how well they have lived up to their existing commitments to consider how well they will live up to future commitments to the site. He stated that the neighborhood is very dirty due to the dust created by the fly ash operation and expressed concern about dust being left behind from the truck hauling and would like to see more stringent rules regarding covering the site and the trucks while in transit. Commissioner Runk acknowledged and made part of the official record written comment from resident Russ Baribeau of 5900 Oxboro Ave. N. expressing his opposition to approval of the request. Also acknowledge and made part of official records was written comment from residents and business owners Judy & Chuck Dougherty of 15330 58 St. N., who were unable to attend the meeting due to an out of town obligation, noting a number of questions they have and indicating their desire to see the matter continued or tabled so that they may actively participate in the discussion. • Vice -Chair Wasescha asked if anyone from Xcel Energy would like to address the Commission. Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 2008 Page 5 of 6 • Darrell Knutson addressed the Commission on behalf of Xcel Energy, noting that they are responding to changes at the A.S. King Plant as part of the larger MERP project, including operating the plant with coal and meeting pollution standards required for a newly constructed facility. Responding to visitor discussion, Mr. Knutson noted that there is more ash material created by the new process; however the actual chemistry of the material is very similar to the ash created by the old process and that the ash volume presently being created comes from the lime introduced to the ash material. He acknowledged resident comments as to the dust this year and discussed Xcel's transition to determine the appropriate mix of lime to the ash material and how that related to their obligations under MPCA permit approvals. He noted that the lime is very dusty and acknowledge having received calls from City Administrator Johnson regarding the dust and his efforts to address the situation as quickly as possible. Mr. Knutson stated that he believes they have a better handle on the dust situation and the lime ratio balance than earlier in the year. He also acknowledged having received calls from City Administrator Johnson and Mayor • Beaudet as to the vibrations from the site operation, noting that the operation method has been changed and hopefully has resolved the problem. Mr. Knutson discussed the management of the ash wetting and the condition of their having automatic sprinkling at the site. He stated that they currently do a lot of truck watering during non - freezing weather and always have a water truck in operation when trucks are hauling. He stated that the watering and addition of lime to the ash results in a quick dry time and leaves the ash settled with a hard crust on top, which should greatly reduce dust blowing. He stated he felt dust was being managed fairly well, adding that he would take a closer look at it. Mr. Knutson expressed that Xcel had no opposition with the delay proposed by the planning report to allow staff and applicant time to work together on issues and for Xcel to have a community meeting as to the project. He added that he is optimistic that in time, useful uses will be found for the ash but that presently Minnesota's technology for ash use limits them to land- filling it. He stated that ultimately, Xcel is looking to find what it takes to be reasonable neighbors and to be able to continue to run the plant in a way that makes sense. On the matter of the dust from trucks hauling, Mr. Knutson stated that hauling is currently contracted. MERP requires the trucks to be covered both coming and going from the site. Haulers are aware of the requirement and if it is not happening, Xcel wants to hear when it is observed not occurring so that they can respond as quickly as possible to correct the situation. • Planning Commission Minutes July 10, 2008 Page 6 of 6 Brief discussion ensued as to some uses of waste material such as the slag, which is now 100% utilized and no longer land- filled, how much coal is needed per hour to operate the plant and the percentage ash created by the coal, the anticipated time needed to continue operations while the MPCA works through their discussion and release the moratorium in place and what Xcel's options are should their request for amendment not be granted. Commissioner Runk, seconded by Vice -Chair Wasescha, moved to continue the public hearing to August 14, 2008. Carried 4 — 0. City Administrator Johnson invited Xcel Energy to use the City Hall for their community meeting should they care to do so. New Business: None. Old Business: None. Informational: A.

King Ash Disposal Facility FILE NO: 798.02 — 08.06 As you are aware, Xcel Energy submitted a request for a 120 day extension of the • development timeline for the amended conditional use permit for expansions to the A.S. King Ash Disposal Facility. The Planning Commission is currently in the process of considering the request and the public hearing for the conditional use permit remains open. The application for the conditional use permit was received on June 6, 2008 and deemed complete when the additional materials, as requested by the City, were submitted by Xcel on June 25, 2008. On June 19, 2008, a letter was sent to Manuel Castillo of Xcel increasing the 60 day review period of the City to 120 days. As a result, the pertinent development timeline dates are as follows: June 6, 2008: Application Submitted June 19, 2008: Letter Sent to Xcel Extending Timeline to 120 Days June 25, 2008: Application Deemed Complete October 22, 2008: End of 120 Day Development Timeline The City has until October 22, 2008 to make a final decision on the conditional use permit for Xcel Energy. The letter received from Xcel requests to extend the timeline an additional 120 days from October 22, 2008. The City Council will consider this request from Xcel at their meeting on August 12, 2008. The City Council can determine whether to make a decision on the conditional use permit by October 22, 2008, or accept the additional extension time offered by Xcel. • t Xcel Ener 9'Y sm 414 Nicollet Mall .

Box 2007 Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Re: Xcel Energy's King Ash Disposal Facility Request for Revised Conditional Use Permit Dear Mr Johnson: Xcel Energy requests a 120 day extension on the City's decision to issue a revised CUP for the subject facility. Xcel 'Energy feels the time is necessary to properly address the sewer line re -route and solid waste permit issues stemming from the sewer line re- • route. The additional time is also needed to evaluate, develop and implement responses to the issues raised at the 7/31/08 public meeting Xcel Energy hosted. If you have any questions please call my cell phone, (612) 518 -6081. Sincerely Chuck D nkers Project Manager ES record Center King Plant File I Memorandum it Bones 2335 Highway 36 W To: Dennis Postler Project: Xcel Energy Fly Ash Site Date: 07.22.2008 St. Paul, MN 55113 From: Kim Hayden Client: City of Oak Park Heights Tel 651- 636 -4600 Fax 651 - 636 -1311 Re: Sanitary Sewer Options File No: 000055 - 08000 -1 www.bonestroo.com We have reviewed several options for the existing trunk sanitary sewer under the Xcel Energy Fly Ash Site. This memo provides details on the various options and their related costs. Option 1 includes the installation of gravity sanitary sewer around the north side of the existing fly ash pit and force main from the south. Construction would include a 15 hp lift station to pump flows from the south half of the City. Existing sanitary sewer and structures in the fly ash pit would be abandoned. This option would provide the City with a new, reliable trunk sewer line, but would also add the maintenance of a lift station. Preliminary layout of this option can be seen in Figure 1 (attached). Option 2 is for tunneling a new sewer line through the fly ash pit parallel to the existing pipe. The advantage would be that a casing pipe would be installed around the carrier pipe, allowing for easier repairs in the future if need be. The disadvantages are that jacking pits would be installed at each end of the tunneling, and possibly interim manhole locations, which would • disturb a large area of the existing fill and lining of the fly ash pit. Also, means and methods of tunneling through the sedimented fly ash would need to be explored further. Option 3 includes costs for installation of a cured -in -place pipe lining in the existing trunk sewer lines. CIPP lining is designed to act as stand -alone pipe. Lining the sewer does not necessarily provide additional strength, but if the existing RCP sewer were to fail, the pipe would gain the strength of the underlying CIPP. Pipe lining also slightly decreases the capacity of the pipe, but CIPP lining would provide for a smoother flow than the existing RCP. Because CIPP lining is typically used for pipe repair and rehabilitation, more research would be necessary to determine the exact effect of lining a pipe that is currently in good condition if this option P was chosen. -- b`'� J #5 A summary of construction costs for review is as follows: C M Sewer Options and Estimated Costs CONSTRUCTION COST + 25% ENGINEERING & PLANNING —Op tion 1 $333,200.00 - -- $416,500.00 Part 1 — Gravity Sewer $153,100.00 Part 2 — Force Main /Lift Station $180,100.00 Option 2 $594,500.00 $743,125.00 Option 3 $255,000.00 $318,750.00 Option 4 $8,445.00 $10,556.00 • V The City also has the option of doing nothing at this point. Some of the existing pipe has had 40 to 70 feet of fill on it for almost twenty years. From soil borings taken by Braun Intertec in 1984, the fly ash pit has limestone bedrock under the fill so long term settlement is not likely to occur. If the City chooses not to proceed with an alternate sewer plan at this time, televising and inspection of the existing sanitary and storm sewer should be completed to document the existing conditions. Costs for this are shown above under Option 4. Additionally, escrow money should be provided to the City by Xcel to cover the cost of the potential future sewer installation. Existing trunk storm sewer also runs under the existing fly ash fill site, and under or adjacent to the proposed additional fill area. Although relocating the storm sewer is not being analyzed or recommended at this time, the City should have an agreement with Xcel Energy whereby they would be responsible for any future pipe failure attributable to the additional fill loading.

NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 4800 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 763.231.2555 Facsimile: 763.231.2561 plan ners @nacplanning.com ENCLOSURE 3 PLANNING REPORT TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: August 6, 2008 RE: Oak Park Heights — Oakgreen Village / Oakgreen Ponds — Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment, Preliminary And Final Plat FILE NO: 798.02 — 08.08 BACKGROUND • Tim Nolde, representing Anchobaypro, Inc., has made application for a PUD amendment for Phase 1 of the Oakgreen Village development west of Oakgreen Avenue and north of 58 Street. The area under application consists of a portion of Phase 1 that has previously been approved for PUD general plan and is part of the Oakgreen Village plat. This area, which is directly north of the pond, was approved for 15 attached townhome units in three buildings. The applicant now proposes one three - unit building and two two -unit buildings for a total of seven dwellings. The buildings would be one story and would be of the same design as the units approved for this development by the City Council on May 27, 2008. The Oakgreen Village PUD was approved by the City Council on May 23, 2006. The approvals included 67 residential townhome units as part of Phase 1. In 2007, John and Cory Arkell, representing Nova Scotia Villas, received approval to construct a. different design for 31 of the 67 units, including the three buildings in the subject area of the current application. The City Council had approved that amendment on August 14, 2007. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1: Existing Conditions Exhibit 2: Oakgreen Village Concept and General Plan 2006 Exhibit 3: Oakgreen Ponds Exhibit 4: Landscape Plan Exhibit 5: Utility Plan Exhibit 6: Grading Plan Exhibit 7: Lighting Plan Exhibit 8: Elevations — Three -Unit Buildings Exhibit 9: Floor Plans — Three -Unit Buildings Exhibit 10: Elevations — Two -Unit Buildings Exhibit 11: Floor Plans — Two -Unit Buildings Exhibit 12: Project Narrative -Tim Nolde ISSUES ANALYSIS The applicant has provided the following narrative: "During the marketing of our current project we have determined a significant demand exists for various types of senior housing. Previously we had requested and received approval for changing the unit types of the Oakgreen Village Plan from four units to three units. Once again, due to demand and interest we are respectfully requesting a change to the type of units located at Oakgreen Village, as found on the following documentation. The plan is to change the two story units north of the pond to single level townhomes. With the introduction of two 2 -unit buildings and one 3 -unit building, the proposed change reduces the overall unit count of Oakgreen Village by eight units. With this proposed change, the only requirement would be that related changing the legal description of the units. The existing streets, utilities, and grades would be unaffected, allowing for service to the proposed units. With this submittal are requesting a PUD Amendment and Subdivision of the platted property." Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan amendment was approved in July 2005, removing the Central Business District (CBD) designation and replacing it with a commercial land use designation. The proposed project complies with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning. This property has been designated as B -4, Limited Business which accommodates residential development as a conditional use. As such, the underlying base zoning district will be B -4, Limited Business with a PUD overlay but R -3, Multiple Family District density, setback, and height standards will apply. The B -4, Limited Business District lists two family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings as a conditional use. Subdivision. The applicant has provided an Oakgreen Ponds preliminary/final plat that provides for three blocks, seven lots, and one outlot. It will accommodate the two- unit buildings and the three -unit building. The preliminary and final plat are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and City Attorney. 2 I Park Dedication. Park dedication has been satisfied for this area. The applicant paid the maximum percentage (14 %) of equivalent cash value as part of the original approvals in 2006. Project Density. Section 401.15.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the density thresholds for residential properties. Two family dwellings require 6,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Townhomes require 4,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Multiple family units with one or two bedrooms require 2,500 square feet per dwelling unit. The total development area for Phase 1 to include Oakgreen Village and the Oakgreen Ponds as well as Phase 2 to include the Carriage House Cooperative is 781,699 square feet. The resulting density calculations are as follows: Twinhomes: 4 X 6,000 square feet = 24,000 square feet Townhomes: 53 X 4,000 square feet = 212,000 square feet Multiple Family: 98 X 2,500 square feet = 245,000 square feet 481,000 square feet The development requires at least 481,000 square feet of land area. The project is well within density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. . Proposed Street/Access. The private street access for this portion of the Oakgreen Village project will not change. The roadway is constructed and includes six off - street parking stalls. The westerly stalls will be replaced and moved to the east. Trails /Sidewalks. The master plan for the Carriage Home development provides details on the overall trail plan for the area. Staff had suggested that a trail be installed on the north side of 58 Street between Nova Scotia Avenue and Oakgreen Avenue North. No sidewalks are planned at the front of the housing units of the development. At the intersection of Oakgreen Avenue and 58 Street, the trail and crosswalk should access 58 Street to the south and not access Oakgreen as shown on the plans. Private Park. As part of the Carriage Home development, the private park area would be eliminated. Setbacks. Within a PUD, the residential (R -3) setback requirements are applied only to the perimeter of the project. The R -3 District specifies setback requirements as follows: 30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 20 feet side yard. If the lot is on a corner, not less than 30 feet from a lot line is required for side yards. The PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that buildings should be located at least 20 feet from the back of .a curb line from roadways as part of the internal street pattern. Additionally, the ordinance specifies that no building within the project shall be nearer to another building by one -half the sum of the building heights of the two buildings. 3 Not all of the units will conform to the 20 foot setback requirement from the internal street network. The buildings will need to be moved so that the structures are at least 20 feet from Upper 58 Street. Tree Preservation /Landscaping. The applicant has provided information on existing tree coverage on the Existing Conditions Map (Exhibit 1). It appears as no existing trees will need to be removed as part of this aspect of the development.

Previously we had requested and received approval for changing the unit types of the Oakgreen Village Plan from four units to three units. Once again, due to demand and interest we are respectfully requesting a change to the type of units located at Oakgreen Village, as found on the following documentation. The plan is to change the two story units north of the pond to single level townhomes. With the introduction of two 2 -unit buildings and one 3 -unit building, the proposed change reduces the overall unit count of Oakgreen Village by eight units. With this proposed change, the only requirement would be that related changing the legal description of the units. The existing streets, utilities, and grades would be unaffected, allowing for service to the proposed units. With this submittal we are requesting a PUD Amendment and Subdivision of the platted property. i i I " NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. • 4800 Olsen Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 763.231.2555 Facsimile: 763.231.2563 planners @nacplanning.com PLANNING REPORT ENCLOSURE 4 TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: August 7, 2008 RE: Oak Park Heights — Oakgreen Village — Carriage House Cooperative Concept Plan FILE NO: 798.02 — 08.09 BACKGROUND Tim Nolde, representing Anchobaypro, Inc., has made application for a PUD concept plan approval for that area west of Oakgreen Avenue and north of 58 Street. The area • under this application is to the east of the Phase 1 of the Oakgreen Village development and is approximately 4.8 acres. The project includes two senior cooperative rental buildings that would be constructed in two phases. The first building would be located at the intersection of 58 Street North and Oakgreen Avenue. The applicant has assembled all of the properties along Oakgreen Avenue either through purchase agreement or ownership. Those areas with purchase agreements have consented to the application for the Carriage House project. This area was given concept plan approval as part of the Oakgreen Village project in 2006. A portion of this property was also approved for general plan approval on May 27, 2008 to allow townhome units on 58 Street east of the pond. The applicant has requested concept plan review for both phases of the Carriage House Cooperative at this time. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1: Title Sheet Exhibit 2: Existing Conditions Exhibit 3: Master Plan and Traffic Analysis Exhibit 4: Grading Plan Exhibit 5: Utility Plan • Exhibit 6: Elevations Exhibit 7: Parking Level Plan Exhibit 8: First Floor Plan • Exhibit 9: Second Floor Plan Exhibit 10: Unit Plans (2 sheets) Exhibit 11: Carriage House Cooperative of the St. Croix Valley Preliminary Plat Exhibit 12: Project Narrative — Tim Nolde Exhibit 13: Area Summary Exhibit 14: Oakgreen Village Concept and General Plan 2006 Exhibit 15: Area Summary ISSUES ANALYSIS Adjacent Uses. Uses adjacent to the subject site are listed below: North of Site: Present Zoning — B -4, Limited Business District Present Use — Highway 36 orientated commercial development, Goodwill and the Xcel Energy power line easement South of Site: Present Zoning — O, Open Space Present Use — City park land, undeveloped areas, and a single family residence West of Site: Present Zoning — B -4, Limited Business District and • B -2, General Business Present Use — Oakgreen Village area and Lowe's /CSM Commercial development East of Site: Present Zoning — PUD, Residential Planned Unit Development Present Use — Townhome residences and Oakgreen Avenue Proposed Project. The project narrative for the site describes the project as follows: "During the marketing of our current project we have determined a significant demand exists for various types of senior housing. As many of you are aware, the senior population in the Twin Cities is due to increase substantially during the next 10 years. In recognition of Boutwell's success, we feel there is a major need for similar types of products at a different price category. We control all of the properties along Oakgreen Avenue. We have purchase agreements on four of the homes and have closed on one so far. We currently plan to construct two 48 unit Senior Cooperative /rental buildings. The first phase is a two story 48 unit "Brownstone" Cooperative structure. All buildings will have major amenities that make senior living more comfortable; such as heated underground parking, library, computer room, wood - working shop, • exercise room, party room with kitchen facilities, outdoor patio with abundant green areas for gardens and flowers. There will also be an activities director on site. 2 • We want the design and exterior of our buildings to be appealing not only to our future residents, but for the entire St. Croix Valley community. We feel the intersection of 58 Street and Oakgreen Avenue is the "Gateway" to the Oak Park Heights community. We plan on using large amounts of brickwork on the buildings. In order to make the project a success for the owners and the city, we need to keep the price of the units below the average selling price of homes in the area. Seniors want to down -size, not take on more debt. This is especially important in today's difficult real estate environment. For that reason and others, we plan on asking the city to create a Tax Increment Financing District. The second phase of our project is another 48 -50 unit senior building which will be a combination of two and three stories. This building will have the same basic amenities and design as the first phase." Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan amendment was approved in July 2005, removing the Central Business District (CBD) designation and replacing it with a commercial land use designation. The current draft Proposed Land Use Map of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan designates this area for medium density residential. The Land Use Map would be changed in the Comprehensive Plan to indicate this area as high density residential. • Zonin 9 property . This has been designated as B-4, Limited Business which accommodates residential development as a conditional use. As such, the underlying base zoning district will be B -4, Limited Business with a PUD overlay. The B -4, Limited Business District lists two family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings as a conditional use. Subdivision. A preliminary plat was submitted with this application and the Planning Commission and City Council will review as part of the general plan of development review. Park Dedication. Park dedication has been satisfied for this area. The applicant paid the maximum percentage (14 %) of equivalent cash value as part of the original approvals in 2006. Project Density. Section 401.15.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the density thresholds for residential properties. Two family dwellings require 6,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Townhomes require 4,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Multiple family units with one or two bedrooms require 2,500 square feet per dwelling unit. The total development area for Phase 1 to include Oakgreen Village and the Oakgreen Ponds as well as Phase 2 to include the Carriage House Cooperative is 781,699 square feet. The resulting density calculations are as follows: 3 Twinhomes: 4 X 6,000 square feet = 24,000 square feet • Townhomes: 53 X 4,000 square feet = 212,000 square feet Multiple Family: 98 X 2,500 square feet = 245,000 square feet 481,000 square feet The development requires at least 481,000 square feet of land area. The project is well within density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Proposed Street/Access. Access for the Carriage House project would be from Lower 59 Street and Upper 58 Street, the two private streets that are accessed off of Nova Scotia Avenue North. The streets would end in a parking lot with the roadway improved with curb and gutter. There would be no direct access allowed from 58 Street or from Oakgreen Avenue. The plans also include a 50 foot right -of -way dedication for Oakgreen Avenue, as required by the City Engineer. This development, with added traffic, again raises the issue of impending improvements to Oakgreen Avenue and the need to make this an urban section of roadway. The City Council should consider the timing for Oakgreen Avenue improvements with construction of this development. Setbacks. Within a PUD, the base district setback requirements (R -3) are applied only to the perimeter of the project. The R -3 District specifies setback requirements as follows: 30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 20 feet side yard. If the lot is on a • corner, not less than 30 feet from a lot line is required for side yards. The PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that buildings should be located at least 20 feet from the back of a curb line from roadways as part of the internal street pattern. Additionally, the ordinance specifies that no building within the project shall be nearer to another building by one -half the sum of the building heights of the two buildings. The perimeter setback requirements would apply to the building setbacks for 58 Street and Oakgreen Avenue. For both buildings, the setback would need to be 30 feet from the right -of -way. The first phase building is set back 27 feet, six inches from 58 Street and 15 feet from Oakgreen Avenue. In that the buildings are designed with two stories and gabled roofs, the heights may seem imposing if the setbacks are not complied with. The Planning Commission and City Council should discuss the proposed setbacks as part of the concept plan. The City could consider a lesser perimeter setbacks as part of the PUD. All of the parking lot and driveway setbacks are within the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and PUD. Traffic. The applicant has provided projected vehicle count information for the proposed development in the Master Plan and Traffic Analysis Sheet (Exhibit 3). The traffic numbers will be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Tree Preservation /Landscaping. The applicant has provided preliminary information • on existing tree coverage. The existing conditions map (Exhibit 2) indicates the tree 4 masses that would be removed to accommodate the development. The City Arborist will review the detailed tree preservation plans and landscape plans as part of general plan of development review. As part of the general plan stage, the applicant will be required to tabulate an inventory of existing trees, calculate a tree replacement list, and provide a detailed landscape plan. Grading and Drainage. A concept grading and drainage plan has been submitted. The grading and drainage plans shall be subject to City Engineer review and approval at the general plan of development stage. Utilities. A concept utility plan has been submitted. The utility plans shall be subject to City Engineer review and approval at the general plan of development stage. Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires the following for elderly housing: "m. Elderly (Senior Citizen) Housing. Reservation of area equal to one (1) parking space per unit. Initial development is, however, required for only one -half (1/2) space per unit and said number of spaces can continue until such time as the City considers a need for additional parking spaces has been demonstrated." The Carriage House Cooperative is planned with a total of 98 units in two phases. The i lower level parking would accommodate 91 parking stalls. None of the lower level stalls are designed for disability parking. At least four of the lower level stalls should be disability accessible with at least two of them van accessible. At the surface level, 32 parking stalls are proposed with an additional 24 proof of parking stalls. Two of the stalls are designated as van accessible disability stalls. The 13 stalls around the entrance circle should be eliminated in that they will restrict access by emergency vehicles. An alternative parking design should be submitted that eliminates these stalls but provides disability and standard parking stalls at the building entrance. Architectural Appearance. The application materials include building elevations of the first building to be constructed. The buildings feature brick exteriors and lap siding with porches and other architectural detailing. The Planning Commission and City Council should comment in general on the conceptual plans. A complete review of the design would be done as part of the general plan of development review. Of note, the Planning Commission and City Council may want to comment on the long horizontal roof expanses and ways to break up the appearance of the roof. Trails /Sidewalk. The plans indicate a trail to be constructed on the north side of 58 Street from Nova Scotia to Oakgreen Avenue. Additionally, a trail would extend along Oakgreen Avenue from 58 Street to the existing trail in the Xcel power line easement. • A significant number of private sidewalk connections have also been shown from the Phase 1 building to the trail system. The Planning Commission and the Park i i 5 f Commission should comment on the proposed private and public trail systems • proposed within this development. B-4, Limited Business Standards. Section 401.301.E.9 of the Zoning Ordinance provides the CUP standards for allowing residential use in the B -4 District. The standards are as follows: Two family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings provided that: a. At least two parking spaces per unit must be provided for on site, or proof is shown of arrangements for private parking nearby. The development will comply with the specific Zoning Ordinance requirements for senior housing. b. No physical improvements, either interior or exterior, may preclude future re -use for commercial purposes. The development could be converted to future office use, but highly unlikely. C. Unit floor areas must comply with Section 401.15.C.6. All of the units are at least 600 square feet for one bedroom and 720 square feet for two bedrooms as required by the Zoning Ordinance. d. Compliance with conditional use requirements of Section 401.03.A.8. The requirements will be complied with. e. The development does not conflict with existing or potential future commercial uses and activities. There would be no conflict. f. The density, setbacks, and building height standards imposed as part of the R -3 Zoning District are complied with. The building setbacks will need to be adjusted to comply or the City Council would need to allow by variance through the PUD. g. Adequate open space and recreational space is provided on site for the benefit of the occupants. Adequate open space is provided. h. The development does not conflict or result in incompatible land use • arrangements as related to abutting residential uses or commercial uses. 6 • No incompatible land use arrangements are created. i. Residential use can be governed by all applicable standards of the Zoning Ordinance, Building Code, Housing Code and Fire Codes. All standards will be complied with. j. Residential and non - residential uses shall not be contained on the same floor. Not applicable. k. Residential uses shall be provided with a separate entrance, and separately identified parking stalls. Not applicable. I. The architectural appearance, design and building materials of residential structures shall be consistent with the Design Guidelines and subject to approval of the City Council. The Planning Commission and City Council should comment on the architectural • appearance. RECOMMENDATION / CONCLUSION As part of its review, the Planning Commission should first look at the Comprehensive Plan and determine from the goals and plans what is the most appropriate development for this property. Previous plans have indicated a medium density residential component for this area, but commercial developments may also be appropriate. If residential use is preferred for this property, it should be noted that this is the last large parcel in the City that will accommodate that type of development. The City should and can be selective in the type of development that it would allow there. If the Planning Commission is favorable to the concept plan, it could be recommended to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. R -3 District standards for density, setbacks, and building height are complied with for this project. 2. The plat shall dedicate right -of -way for Oakgreen Avenue and shall be approved by the City Engineer and City Attorney. • 3. The Planning Commission and City Council should discuss the need for and the timing of improvements to Oakgreen Avenue as part of the discussions of the concept plan. 7 4. The Fire Marshal and Police Chief sho uld review the p lans and determine the accessibility of emergency vehicles throughout the development. 5.

As many of you are aware, the senior population in the Twin Cities is due to increase substantially during the next 10 years. In recognition of Boutwell's success, we feel there is a major need for similar types of products at a different price category. We control all of the properties along Oakgreen Avenue. We have purchase agreements on four of the homes and have closed on one so far. We currently plan to construct two - 48 unit Senior Cooperative /rental buildings. The first phase is a two story 48 unit "Brownstone" Cooperative structure. All buildings will have major amenities that make senior living more comfortable; such as heated underground parking, library, computer room, wood - working shop, exercise room, party room with kitchen facilities, outdoor patio with abundant green areas for gardens and flowers. There will also be an activities director on site. • We want the design and exterior of our buildings to be appealing not only to our future residents, but for the entire St. Croix Valley community. We feel the intersection of 58 Street and Oakgreen Avenue is the "Gateway" to the Oak Park Heights community. We plan on using large amounts of brickwork on the buildings. In order to make the project a success for the owners and the city, we need to keep the price of the units below the average selling price of homes in the area. Seniors want to down -size, not take on more debt. This is especially important in today's difficult real estate environment. For that reason and others, we plan on asking the city to create a Tax Increment Financing District. The second phase of our project is another 48 -50 unit senior building which will be a combination of two and three stories. This building will have the same basic amenities and design as the first phase. We are excited about this "new" concept to the Oak Green Village development and look forward to working with the city.
