It was noted that previous approval was granted on <br />August 26, 2009 and has since lapsed. <br />Mr. Rufino Lorenzo, Suites Living, reported that the proposal has not <br />changed. The project will be a two -level building consisting of 52 units. <br />Updated Watershed and MN DOT permits are being obtained. All <br />conditions will be complied with. Lorenzo noted that one issue needing <br />discussion is the billboard that exists on the property. <br />Blesener noted that there has been some discussion about the method of <br />building construction; specifically that modular construction might be <br />used. Brian Winges, Suites Living, explained the modular construction <br />method, noting that individual building sections would be constructed off - <br />site, assembled on the property, and then the shell of the building would <br />be stick -built around the modular sections. Therefore, the exterior and the <br />footprint of the building would be the same except there the stairwell <br />would extend out from the main body of the building. Winges also noted <br />that the interior offsets of the individual suites room would be eliminated. <br />
