Staff has nothad a pre- application meetingwith them at this point. Staff did meet with Jaime Junkerand learned more about whatheheard at his neighborhood meetings–he seeks 36+unitson a 3 acresite and which is NOT compliant with the City’scomprehensive plan. Staff discussedconcept of not submitting a “DevelopmentPlan” that would include requests fora Comp plan amendment,Rezoning, Site plan approval, etc. asit would require full civil drawings, architectural, traffic studies,etc.and would beexpensive to prepare. Instead, Staff mentioned that he may want to consider only seeking a CompPlan Amendment change for this area from Lowdensity to a high-density area–in this fashion he willbe able to ascertain if the Council is generally willing to allowa high density development in thearea–regardless of the specific conceptand he maybe able to avoid some costsif that was rejected. If that applicationhappens,the Council will needto determine ifthis areaissuitableforahigh-densitydevelopmentversus analyzing nuances of aspecific project.Staff plans to hold another meetingwith him again in a couple ofweeks to see what his thoughts are and what that process may look like. th Code Enforcement letters are enclosedrelated to grass cutting on 57Streetand the continuing issue with the former McCormick’s site.Further, with the influx of non-local vendors–dealing with dent repairsand special event permits…there havebeen some challenges with RVParking the Fury Osgood Site.
