Select Senior Living Staff Report August 6, 2008 Page 10 Trails: For all new development along County Road 10, the City requires the property owner/developer to contribute funds for the future trail system. This development area has 402 feet of County Road 10 frontage with a contribution amount for the future trail to be determined. Development Review Summary: With the zoning change, the proposed high density residential use on these parcels would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and would bring new development and tax base to the site. The traffic impact to the area should not be overly excessive even with the high number of residential units since many of the residents do not drive. The majority of the new additional traffic will only be onto County Highway 10. The city will need to execute a development agreement with the applicant to ensure all of the specific requirements and conditions of development are satisfied and adhered to. PLANNING REQUEST SUMMARY Public Notice: The Planning Commission meeting is not a published public hearing, but staff did send a letter about the project with site plans and information about the August 6th meeting to all property owners within 350 feet of the property. Deadline for Action: This application was accepted on July 17, 2008 and in accordance with MN Statute 15.99, a decision shall be made within 60 days of application acceptance. The deadline for action for this request is September 15, 2008 unless the city exercises its option to extend the timeline for another 60 days. Recommendation: Staff has prepared three resolutions due to the amount of actions that are being requested. After taking testimony from staff and the applicant, and any public comments, the Commission may take the following actions related to the request: 1. Approve the two resolutions for Rezoning, Variances, and CUP, Preliminary Plat, and Development Review as requested. Resolutions 891-08 (Rezoning), and 893-08 (CUP, Preliminary Plat and Development Review) are attached for action if the Commission so chooses. Any of these resolutions may be amended. The variance resolution is included in this report, but will have to wait until the August 20th meeting for action since a public hearing notice was not published in the newspaper in time for tonight’s meeting. 2. Deny any of the requested actions for rezoning, preliminary plat, conditional use permit, variances and development review. The Commission should direct staff to draft a resolution of denial with findings appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided.
