Consideration of Resolution Nos. 552-98 and 553-98, resolutions recommending approval to the City Council of an amendment to the Silverview Estates PUD and a development review for the revised senior residential component of the PUD. • The applicant, Realife Cooperative of Mounds View Inc., was present. Associate Ericson gave his presentation as follows: Realife of Mounds View Inc., was proposing to substitute a revised senior housing component of the Silverview Estates PUD which was initially approved on December 8, 1997. The PUD will also be occupied by the Holiday Station Store and office buildings located on the corner of Silver Lake Road and Highway 10. The proposed senior housing development would be a 77-unit facility instead of the originally planned 82-unit senior housing building. This change, if approved, would require an amendment to the PUD for the site. Realife of Mounds View Inc., develops cooperative housing. According to the applicant this type of development offers seniors 62 and over an alternative type of home ownership that allows them more freedom and less responsibility than conventional home ownership. The residents own and operate the development through a nonprofit cooperative corporation. The proposed building is of a three-story-serpentine design over a one-story-precast- • concrete garage. All units will have decks that overhang the building by six feet. The garage area will have one-way traffic with angled parking stalls to foster safe vehicular • Mounds View Planning Commission June 17, 1998 Special Meeting Page 3 movement. The City Engineer and Rice Creek Watershed have given the project their approval. The PUD requires a minimum of 89 parking stalls. The plan as proposed shows 123 parking stalls: 25 stalls in the front of the building (four being handicap accessible) and 78 parking stalls inside the building. The exterior parking significantly encroaches into the required front setback of the property. The approved setback is 30 feet. The plans show the parking lot at 10 feet. The building itself encroaches four feet into the approved 27-foot setback, which has necessitated the PUD amendment. Item 5 of the PUD document would need to be revised to show a 23-foot building setback. No changes were proposed or needed in regards to utilities. The Fire Marshal has reviewed the revised plans and has indicated that a fire hydrant will need to be installed on the east side of Silver Lake Road. The landscape plan is acceptable with one exception: City Forester Wriskey has recommended substituting Red Splendor Crab trees for the Radiant Crabs, which are susceptible to disease in the summer months. The only change in regards to building access has been the elimination of access by an internal private driveway. The lighting plan, as submitted, is in compliance with City Code. The light stand height is 15 feet and the foot candles fall within the required range. • A stipulation will need to be added to the site plan resolution, No. 553-98, requiring the addition of the recommended fire hydrant. The Commission was charged with deciding if the proposed setbacks were acceptable. Specifically to review if more spacing between the property lines and the parking lot was needed. Staff is recommending approval of Resolution Nos. 552-98 and 553-98. Dick Hanson,Realife of Mounds View Inc., gave his presentation as follows: Realife Inc., has been developing senior cooperative housing since 1978. They currently have developments in Edina, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, and Brooklyn Park. All buildings are operated under the same cooperative ownership approach. A senior, 62 and over, buys a share of the cooperative for a predetermined amount of money. The share entitles the owner apartment rental privileges, property tax benefits, and mortgage interest benefits just as they would in conventional home ownership. -A management consultant, usually Realife Inc., is hired to help run the day-to-day operations of the facility. The rent from the apartments goes to cover the building mortgage, maintenance funds, and property tax fund. A board of directors is established from within the residents to oversee the management of the building. Only the board of directors can authorize an • increase in the rental fees. Hanson stated, "Historically, rent increases have been held to a Mounds View Planning Commission June 17, 1998 Special Meeting Page 4 minimum because the building owners are the renters." The loan for the building is HUD guaranteed. Before HUD will underwrite the project, the development must be 90 percent presold. Of the proposed development's 77 units, 36 two-bedroom apartments will have a share cost from $17,500 to $22,000. The monthly rents on these 36 units will range from$550 a month to $580 a month. The rent covers all expenses except telephone, electricity and cable. There is a cooperative owned mini-bus to help meet the transportation needs of the residents. There are three 1550 square foot apartments that will rent for $995 with a share cost of$36,000. No rental rate or share fee was given for the remaining 38 one-bedroom apartments. There are four laundry rooms per floor, each containing two washers and two dryers. The use of the laundry rooms is included as part of the rental fee. Each floor has a storage room. The common space available throughout the building totals more that 25,000 square feet. These common spaces include libraries, dining room (food service at the • option of the residents), game rooms, media rooms, craft rooms, and a shop in the basement. Commissioner Brasaemle expressed concerns about the building and parking lot encroaching on the required setbacks. Mr. Hanson stated that because the parking, as shown, had more than the required number of parking stalls, some of these parking stalls could be removed to bring the building in compliance with the setback regulations. Associate.Ericson recommended that Resolution No 552-98 he revised by deleting the reference to a 10 foot parking lot setback and recommended that Resolution No. 553-98 be revised to require the applicant to update the site plans to show a 30-foot parking lot setback to show a fire hydrant on the east side of Silver Lake Road and to show the NURP pond not encroaching into the wetland area. Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Obert to approve Resolution No.552-98, as amended, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of a PUD amendment as requested by Realife Cooperative of Mounds View, Inc.; Planning Case 530-98.

Planning Case No. 527-98 3025 County Road H Applicant: Duane and Nancy Peterson Consideration of Resolution No. 549-98, a resolution recommending approval of a minor subdivision to the City Council. • The applicant, Duane Peterson was present. Associate Ericson gave his report as follows: Duane and Nancy Peterson were requesting approval of a minor subdivision to create two lots from their property located at 3025 County Road H. A copy of the required surveyor's certificate showing the proposed lot split was presented. The property currently has 100 feet of frontage on Pleasant View Drive and 225 feet along County Road H. The applicant was proposing to split off the west 125 feet of the lot to create a 12,500 square foot corner lot. The remaining 100 foot by 100 foot lot, 10,000 square fcct, would be 1,000 square feet too small to be a legal lot by Mounds View standards. In order to rectify this situation, the applicant had arranged to purchase a 10 foot wide by 100 foot long strip of property from the neighbor to the east, Mr. Steve Borden, residing at 3009 County Road H. A simple deeded land transfer would be executed between Mr. Borden and Mr. Peterson to accomplish the land acquisition. The proposed legal descriptions and certificate of survey had been reviewed by the City's Engineering Technician. The City Attorney has been asked to draft an easement document to convey the drainage and utility easements. It was stated that a $825 park dedication fee, 5 percent of the value of the land not including the land under the existing home, would need to be collected as a condition of approval. There was also an unpaid water utility bill that Ericson requested the applicant • Mounds View Planning Commission June 17, 1998 Special Meeting Page 6 and the City Clerk "take care of" as a condition of approval. Staff was recommending approval of Resolution 549-98, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this minor subdivision subject to stipulations. Ralph Gale Jr., counsel for Mr. Peterson, stated he was aware of the conditions for approval. He told the Commission that the conditions would be met and a purchase agreement would be submitted shortly. Parcel A will be put on the market with the hopes that it will be developed as a single-family home. Parcel B, which currently has a home on it, will remain as is. Motion/Second: Obert/Stevenson to approve Resolution 549-98, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this minor subdivision subject to stipulations, Planning Case No. 527-98, as amended. Ayes - 5 Nays - The motion carried. 7. Staff Reports/Information Items A.
