None of them are 7 expected to be affordable to households with median incomes less than 50% of AMI. 8 9 ■ Parking Spaces - There will be 89 parking spaces (1.4 spaces per unit) in each 10 garage. That amounts to 356 spaces for the four buildings. In addition,there are 64 11 outside spaces on private property. The total amount of spaces is 420 (1.7 spaces per 12 unit). There are 22 spaces along 39th Avenue that cannot be credited to the 13 development because they are in the public right-of-way and can be used by anyone. 14 15 Mr. Thorvig stated that a PUD allows flexibility because of the large nature of use. He noted that 16 some flexibility from normal City requirements is needed in order to approve this development, 17 which include the following: 18 19 Parking -The number of parking stalls is less than would normally be allowed by 20 code. Normally 502 spaces would be required. Four hundred and twenty are being 21 provided. There are 22 spaces along 39h Avenue. However, these are on public 22 right-of-way and cannot be used to satisfy parking requirements for the project. The 23 developer has done several buildings similar to these. His experience is that many 24 units are purchased by single individuals who live alone or senior couples where there 25 is just one driver. Therefore, the 1.7 spaces per unit are expected to be adequate. 26 27 Appearance -The exact colors have not been defined yet. However, the color 28 rendering indicates a rusty brick color compatible with other buildings in the PUD. 29 The colors should be clarified by the time the Council approves the plan or delegated 30 to staff in the same way the final approval of the materials was left to staff for the 31 Wal-Mart building. 32 33 Final Plat- The final plat is in conformance with the PUD and meets all the platting 34 requirements of the City of St. Anthony. 35 36 Mr. Thorvig concluded in stating that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the 37 Final Development Plan subject to the condition that that the color of exterior materials on the 38 building be clarified prior to approval by the City Council. He also recommended that the 39 Planning Commission recommend approval of the final plat. With that, he introduced the 40 developers present in the audience and asked them to come forward with their presentation for 41 the Council. 42 43 Len Pratt of Hunt/Pratt came forward to address the Council. He stated that he was very honored 44 to be a part of the wonderful development that St. Anthony is bringing to the community. 45
