27 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 10/14/03 MEETING DATE: 10/21/03 <br /> TO: Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manage <br /> SUBJECT: Autumn Woods PUD Amendment--Rehearing <br /> Requested Action: <br /> President Paul Brewer of LaNel Financial Group, representing Autumn Woods II LLP, <br /> has requested a rehearing to amend their Autumn Woods development to include 38 <br /> additional adult rental-housing units. <br /> Background: <br /> On July 15, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Autumn <br /> Woods 11 Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment and recommended City Council <br /> approval subject to the following: (1) there will be 38 parking stalls, rather than the 35 <br /> proposed; (2) review of the plans and cross easements by the City Attorney; and (3) <br /> completion of the re-plat. Subsequently, on July 22, 2003, the City Council approved the <br /> PUD amendment with the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission (see <br /> attached Council resolution). Attached please find excerpts of the minutes from the July <br /> 15 Planning Commission and the July 22 City Council meetings related to the Autumn <br /> Woods II discussion. <br /> Unfortunately, after these approvals, city staff learned that some of the neighbors of the <br /> development were not notified of the July 15 public hearing, as they should have. Mr. <br /> Brewer opted to have a rehearing so these neighbors have an opportunity to speak and <br /> provide input into the development. <br /> Development Details: <br /> LaNel Financial Group proposes to develop a market rate senior rental townhouse style <br /> building on the former city-owned single-family lots of 2534, 2538, 2542, 2546, and 2548 <br /> Kenzie Terrace. The plan submitted by the developer shows a total of 38 units with 1 <br /> and 2 bedroom units, along with various common activity and recreation areas. <br /> Autumn Woods II has requested to amend its existing (adjacent) PUD that offers <br /> flexibility for both them and the City. In exchange for not meeting typical code <br /> requirements, the City might ask for extra landscaping or lighting, for example. There is <br /> often give and take in a PUD arrangement. <br /> The proposed building will have three stories with 38 underground parking spaces. In <br /> addition, seven surface parking spaces are shown on the site plan. For apartments <br /> buildings, city code requires at least two parking spaces per unit, at least one of which is <br /> enclosed. By this, the developer meets 'the enclosed parking spaces requirement; <br /> however, not the surface,parking requirement. Keep in mind this code information is <br /> given as a backdrop because in a PUD arrangement the developer is not tied to the city <br />
