Item No: 7E <br />Meeting Date: October 10, 2011 <br />Type of Business: Action <br />City Administrator Review: ________ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7836, Reapproving the Final Plat, Development <br />Agreement, Conditional Use Permit and Development Review <br />of the Select Senior Living Development at Highway 10 & <br />Groveland Road <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />On October 27, 2008, the City Council passed Resolution 7347, which approved the <br />final plat and development agreement for the Select Senior Living development. This <br />was the last of the Council actions required in order for the project to move forward. Per <br />the recently amended City Code, an applicant now has 6 months to record the plat with <br />Ramsey County, and if the recording does not happen within this timeframe, the plat <br />approval is void. The code also states that the plat can be reapproved and the <br />applicant given up to another 6 months. Due to the shakeup within the banking <br />industry, Select Senior Living has still not been able to secure financing and start the <br />project. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The City Council has re-approved the planning requests for this project several times <br />over the last three years. The applicant is still working hard to finance and build this <br />project in Mounds View. <br /> <br />Select Senior Living, represented by Joel Larson, has submitted a letter requesting that <br />the City re-approve their planning requests once again. Mr. Larson is asking for a re- <br />approval of the final plat and development agreement. These would then expire on <br />April 10, 2012. Also approved by the City Council in October 2008 for this project was a <br />conditional use permit and the development review. The conditional use permit <br />approval also expired due to non-use within one year. Select Senior Living also is <br />asking for re-approval of their conditional use permit to allow senior housing in a R-4, <br />high density residential district. Staff suggests that the Council also re-approve the <br />development review to help ensure there is a clear and consistent record of City <br />approvals for this project. The Planning Commission re-approved the variances for this <br />project on Wednesday, October 5, 2011.
