To approve Resolution 1153-22, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Ground Sign with a Dynamic Display at 8211 Red Oak Drive. Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. C. Resolution 1154-22, Recommending Approval of Amending the Zoning Map for 2310 Mounds View Boulevard; Preliminary Plat of Woodale Apartments; Planned Unit Development; and Development Review. Community Development Director Sevald stated Reuter Walton (developer) is proposing “Woodale Apartments”, a 140-unit apartment building to be located at 2310 Mounds View Boulevard, east of Bel Rae Senior Living. The property is currently vacant. The project requires approvals for a Zoning Map Amendment; Preliminary/Final Plat; Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Planned Unit Development (PUD); and Development Review. The City Council reviewed a concept plan at its August 1, 2022 Work Session, providing a consensus to the developer to proceed with an application. The project includes a “ghost plat” to include a Phase II 130-unit apartment east of Phase I. Phase II would require the acquisition of three homes to the east, none of which are for sale. The intent of the ghost plat is to demonstrate how a Phase II would be compatible with Phase I. There is no timetable as to when (if ever) Phase II will be developed. The proposed deviations for the PUD were further discussed with the Commission. Staff commented further on the proposed request and recommended the Planning Commission approve a Recommendation to Amend the Zoning Map; Preliminary Plat of Woodale Apartments; Planned Unit Development; and Development Review, conditioned upon being revised prior to the City Council’s consideration. Jared Ackmann, Reuter Walton Development, discussed the proposed plans in further detail with the Commission. He reviewed other developments Reuter Walton had completed in the metro area. He stated he has had discussions with the City for the last year. He noted he was proposing a 140 unit apartment complex on the three acre site. He commented on how the units would be broken down for the proposed workforce housing. He indicated the site would have approximately 200 parking stalls and he would not be charging for parking. He discussed the outdoor amenities (tot lot and dog park) that would be included within the development. In addition, the property would have a community room, fitness area, bike racks and onsite office. He stated he appreciated how close this site was to the park and ride on County Road H and was also close to the Metro Transit Route #25 bus line. He finished his presentation by reviewing elevations of different Reuter Walton projects.
