Chairperson and Planning Commissioners’ Reports Item No: 5 Meeting Date: May 18, 2005 Type of Business: Commission Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Review and Consideration of the General Concept Plan for a Proposed Residential Planned Unit Development at 2901 and 2925 County Road 10; Planning Case PD2005-001 Introduction: Ron Lillestrand, representing Integra Homes, originally requested City approval of a general concept plan to construct twenty-one (21) townhouse units at 2901 and 2925 County Road 10. The proposed development would have also included a portion of the rear yard of 8060 Groveland Road. The applicant is now looking at alternative options for development. Summary: This request was brought before the Planning Commission during a public hearing at the May 4, 2005 meeting. After reviewing the general concept plan and taking testimony from the applicant and the surrounding property owners, the Planning Commission expressed disapproval of the general concept plan for the townhouse development. The applicant stated that he would attempt to look at alternative plans. The Planning Commission directed Staff to come back to the next meeting with a resolution recommending denial of the general concept plan, unless an alternative plan was presented. Although an alternative plan has not yet been submitted, the applicant is requesting that this item be tabled until the next meeting, thereby allowing the applicant adequate time to explore alternative development concepts. If the applicant submits a plan that is significantly different than the first plan, for instance, a change in use or major configuration changes, Staff will send a new notice to the surrounding property owners. Recommendation: The applicant is requesting that action be tabled on this item in order to provide additional time to look at alternative development concepts. Should the Planning Commission choose to take action now, Staff drafted a resolution recommending denial of the general concept plan, which would be forwarded to the City Council.

Staff Report WHEREAS, a public hearing notice was published in the official City newspaper on April 20, 2005, and notices mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the subject properties; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this request on Wednesday, May 4, 2005; and, Integra Homes PUD Report May 18, 2005 Page 5 WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed Chapter 1120 of the Mounds View Municipal Code pertaining to planned unit developments; and, WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the land use component of the Comprehensive Plan relative to this request; and, WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the site plans date-stamped April 13, 2005, relative to this request. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings regarding the possible adverse effects of this general concept plan, as required by the Mounds View Zoning Code: 1. The current zoning of the lots is R-1, Single Family Residential and B-3, Highway Business. The requested zoning of the lots is PUD, Planned Unit Development. 2. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the parcels proposed to be included in the residential PUD are designated Mixed-Use PUD on the Future Land Use map. 3. The plan as proposed would adversely affect adjacent property owners by compromising privacy. 4. The proposed density, while not inconsistent with the Code requirements for a 3- acre parcel, is too intense for the surrounding area and does not fit the character of the existing neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon the above findings, the information and documents regarding the general concept plan for the PUD, the report drafted by staff and the testimony of the applicant, and in consideration of the public testimony given at the public hearing, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend denial of the general concept plan approval request made by Integra Homes. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. Adopted this 18th day of May, 2005. _________________________________________ Gary Stevenson, Chairman Attest: _________________________________________ James Ericson, Community Development Director (Seal)
