The area under application consists of Phase 1 that has been previously approved for PUD general plan and Phase 2, and area that previously was just approved for PUD concept. The City Council approved a PUD general plan and preliminary /final plat for Phase 1 in May 2000. The property in question is completely under the control of Anchobaypro Inc. The plan was reviewed in December and a public hearing was opened at the January 17, 2008 Planning Commission meeting. The applicant requested the public hearing be continued in that he had alternative plans for the Phase 2 area. Mr. Nolde has now developed a revised plan, as attached, and is looking for approval of the Phase 1, PUD amendment, Phase 2 concept and general plan approvals, and preliminary /final plat. The planning report dated January 10, 2008 that was included in the packet for the January 17, 2008 meeting is included for your review. Attached for reference (revised since January): Exhibit 1: Cover Page /Narrative Exhibit 2: Layout, Traffic, signage and Lighting Plan Exhibit 3: Existing Conditions, Grading, Drainage and Removal Plan Exhibit 4: Utility Plan Exhibit 5: Landscape and Park Plan Concept Exhibit 6: Lighting Plan Exhibit 7: oakgreen village 2 nd Addition Exhibit 8: oakgreen village 8 d Addition Exhibit g: Four Flex Elevations and Three Dimensional views Exhibit 10: January 10, 2008 Planning Deport ISSUES ANALYSIS Proposed Revised Project. The request for the Phase 1 amendment is to allow for the conversion of four -unit buildings to three -unit buildings. There are two buildings in Phase 1 that would be converted. For the Phase 2 area, the original approved concept plan indicates one five -unit and one seven -unit townhome building. The plan., as proposed in December, was to construct two townhorne buildings in this area. The most recent proposal is to construct one three -unit building. The building would be on the east side of the wetland area and adjacent to 58 Street North. The private street would be extended to provide access. The concept plan approved in 2006 indicated 67 townhornes in the first phase and 46 additional townhomes in the second for a total of 118 units. with the proposed overall layout, there is a maximum of 90 units with 65 in the first phase and 25 in the second. Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan amendment was approved in ..duly 2005, removing the Central Business District (Cl3D) 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 BW4, 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, townhornes and multiple family dwellings as a conditional use. subdivision. The applicant has provided an oakgreen Village 2nd Addition preliminary /final plat that includes allowance for the three -unit building adjacent to the wetland and 58 street North. The plat establishes one block and three lots surrounded by outlot A, The outlot will eventually be replatted to accommodate another twor -unit building to the east. Oakgreen village 8,d Addition is also under consideration to replat Blocks g and 12 from four lots /units to three lots /units. All access is via private roadways so additional right- of-way is not necessary. Park [dedication. Park dedication has been satisfied for this area. A cash park dedication has been received by the applicant. 2 Project Density. section 401.1 5.c,3 of the Zoning ordinance establishes the density thresholds for residential properties. Townhome projects require 4,000 square feet of land area per unit excluding right -of -way and wetlands, The Phase 1 development consists of a total area of 315,700 square feet, which excludes the wetland and right -of -way area. The 67 units planned for that area originally would result in an area per unit of 4,712 square feet. The second phase originally had a density per unit of 5,485 square feet, Lowering the overall density from 113 to go units would make the development more in conformance. Proposed Street/Access. The applicant has proposed a roadway extension to accommodate access for the three -unit building. The roadway location matches the location within the original concept plan approvals. A five stall guest parking area will be constructed adjacent to the extended roadway. A turnaround will be provided at the end of the roadway to accommodate vehicle access until such time as the complete private roadway system is constructed. The 28 foot street would be privately developed and maintained as are the other roadways in the oakgreen village development. Trails /Sidewalks. As part of the twinhome development, the proposed sidewalk will need to be constructed between the twinhomes and the wetland area. The sidewalk will be done this Summer extending from Nova Scotia Avenue to oakgreen Avenue. At the intersection of oakgreen and 58 street, the trail and .crosswalk should cross 58 street to the south and not access oakgreen as shown on the plans. Private Park. As part of the previous plan review, staff had requested the applicants provide preliminary plans for the private park area. New residents will be living in the area this summer and the private park will be a needed amenity, The most recent submittal includes a preliminary park plan with a gazebo, benches, picnic tables, and landscaping. The Planning Commission should discuss whether a small play area with equipment should be added. Setbacks. Within a PUD, the base district setback requirements (B-4) are applied only to the perimeter of the project. The B -4 District specifies setback requirements as follows: 40 feet front yard, 20 feet rear yard, and 10 feet side yard. If the lot is in a corner, not less than 20 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 sung of the building heights of the two buildings. The previous plan indicated that one of the townhomes was set back only 20 feet from the right -of -way for 58 street. staff had recommended at least a 30 foot setback. The new plan shoves a 54 foot setback for the three -unit building and a 30 foot setback for the other two -unit building. Tree Preservation /Landscaping, The applicant has provided information on existing tree coverage and ghat will be preserved and removed as part of the overall landscape 3 plan. flans were also submitted for general landscaping in the area around the twinhornes and the new plans indicate foundation plantings, The plans shall be subject to the final approval of the City Arborist. Grading and Drainage. Detailed grading and drainage plans have been provided as part of the general plan of development submittals. The city Engineer shall review and approve all of the grading and drainage plans. Utilities. A detailed utility plan has been submitted. The final utility plan is subject to review and approval of the city Engineer and Public works Director. All of the utilities within the development shall be private but built to city specifications. Lighting. A lighting plan has been provided that includes street light fixture specifications and locations within the private street network. The light fixture is identical to what has been used in McKean square. It is a full cutoff fixture with a flat lens. The street lights will be maintained and all electricity costs will be paid for by the developer /homeowners association. No light fixtures are shown on the proposed buildings, if lights are proposed, they shall be illustrated on the building plans subject to approval of city staff. signage. No additional signage has been proposed other than the monument signs on each of the two entrances from Nova Scotia Avenue. Home removal. staff recommends that the dwelling at 5762 oakgreen Avenue be removed as part of these development approvals. The structure is currently vacant and would impact plans for grading and development of the private park. Architectural Appearance. The application materials indicate preliminary drawings of what appears to be a four -unit structure. The previous submittals, found in the January 10 2008 planning report, include drawings of the twinhomes and triplex units. The structures are base townhome row units with small porches and brick /lap siding exteriors. The units lack architectural detail, feature extensive horizontally and minor variety in building material. staff had suggested that the applicant provide building plans with more character, detailing and variety in building materials. The only change made to the new elevations are the addition of limited shakes on some of the gable ends of the buildings. The examples from a development in Lakeville, and found as Exhibit 15 to the January 10, 2008 planning report, have been provided to the applicant as an idea for preferred building designs. staff recommends that alternative building plans and materials be provided for Plannin commission review. This is significant in that these units will be highly visible from 58 Street and Oakgreen Avenue. The residential units are not required to be reviewed under Design Guideline requirements, but as part of the PUD, the City can comment and require design and material changes. At this time, City staff does not recommend approval of the application until a more acceptable building design is presented. The Planning 4 Commission and City Council will comment further on the building appearance and materials as part of the review. Development Contract. The applicant will be required to enter into an amended development contract with the City should approval of the general plan of development be granted. As part of the contract, the provisions for street and utility construction, as well as payment for area changes, would be included. RECOMMENDATION / CONCLUSION As indicated, staff is not recommending this project move forward until more acceptable building plans are brought forward for review and approval. If revised building plans and materials are brought forward and are acceptable to the Planning Commission, we would recommend the request with the following conditions: 1. The preliminary /final plat for oakgreen village 2 n Addition and oakgreen village 3rd Addition is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer and City Y Attorney. 2. All easements, as required by the City Engineer and City Attorney, shall be dedicated to the City as part of the subdivision approvals. 8.
