Item No: 08A Meeting Date: Sep 13, 2021 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: of Mounds View Staff R To: Honorable Mayor, and City Council From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: PUBLIC HEARING, Resolution 9465, Amending the Crossroad Pointe PUD Narrative, 2390 Mounds View Boulevard Introduction: The applicant is requesting to amend the Crossroad Pointe PUD Narrative (aka Gray Stone Flats apartments), related to building setbacks and fencing. Discussion: Gray Stone Flats was approved as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). At the time (2019), the project was known as Crossroad Pointe. A PUD may be approved with deviations from the minimum standards in the Municipal Code. Those deviations are detailed in a PUD Narrative. It is the intent for projects to be constructed "consistent" with plans approved by the City Council, but does allow some wiggle -room to occur during construction, at Staff's discretion. Minimum Building Setbacks (foundation): Min Reg1 As-BuR2 North (County Road 112 17' 14.5' East Mounds View Blvd 27' 26.5' South 50' 57.1' West (Edgewood Dr) 60' 63.5' Staff was aware of the slight setback deviations at the time the building permit was approved, and opined that the setbacks are consistent with the intent of the PUD Narrative. After discussing with the developer, it was agreed to apply to amend the PUD Narrative after a more recent survey was completed, and in the event the developer wished to change the Landscaping Plan, and prior to the City issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. The building received a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy in March, 2021. Landscaping was installed spring, 2021. Proposed deviations from the Landscape Plan, include: 1. Five-foot tall fence (existing) around the pet exercise area, whereas, the PUD Narrative did not address fence heights. The maximum fence height permitted in a front yard, is 4'.3 The purpose of the taller fence is to prevent pets from getting loose. 2. Eight -foot tall panel fence along portions of the patio (corner of Co Rd H2 & Edgewood Dr) whereas, the maximum fence height permitted in a front yard, is 4'. The purpose of the fence is for aesthetics, not privacy. The fence will be in-between shrub rows. Analysis: Planned Unit Developments allow flexibility from the strict requirements of the City Code.4 The ' Crossroad Pointe PUD Narrative, #6 (Dimensional Requirements) 2 As -Built Survey, November 19, 2019 s Municipal Code, §160.030(C)(1) (Fencing, Screening and Landscaping) a Mounds View Municipal Code § 160.315(B)(10) (Purpose and Intent)
