Mr. Krier stated such an area was not included in the land use plan 3 as shop owners indicated that would not be acceptable. 4 Horst stated he attended a recent meeting with the shopping center's new owners, adding it 5 seems obvious they are committed to working with the City on its redevelopment plans. He 6 noted the Commission should approve or amend the land use plan for presentation to the City 7 Council by Mr. Krier at their July 27, 1999 meeting. 8 Horst closed the public hearing at 7:31 PM. 9. Tillmann expressed concern that the green space seems to be situated at some distance from the 10 retail areas. Horst noted the inclusion of green space is critical to the plan, but parking is also 11 important. He added the Commission's recommendation of the plan indicates concept approval, 12 and not the final draft version. 13 Motion by Horst, second by Melsha to recommend approval of the Redevelopment Site Plan for 14 the St. Anthony Shopping Center to the City Council, as presented by Mr.Richard Krier, RLK i5 Kuusisto, Ltd., with the following recommendations: 16 The Commission recommends 1) an interior gathering space; 2)better access to the green space; 17 3) a larger green space; and 4) awareness of transit access. 18 Motion carried unanimously. 19 VII. CONCEPT REVIEW. 20 A. 99-XX Mendota Homes, Inc. -Twin Home Project, Conditional Use Permit, Preliminary 21 Plat, Final Plat. 22 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that in December 1997, Erin Mathern of Mendota Homes presented a 23 request to the Planning Commission to rezone a vacant property located at 3621 Old Highway 8 24 from Industrial to R-4 in order to complete a multi-family housing project that is on adjacent 25 property in Roseville. This project has been approved by the City of Roseville at the time of the 26 rezoning request. 27 Ms. Mathern recently called to inform Staff that the scope of the project had changed; that as the 28 result of a feasibility study that Mendota Homes had done, it was decided to construct single- 29 level twin homes rather than a senior apartment complex that was originally planned. As a result 30 of this change, it is being proposed to build one twin home building on the St. Anthony site that 31 was originally planned as parking and open space. Staff informed Ms. Mathern that in order to 32 do this project, she would need to obtain a conditional use permit as an R-2 use is a permitted conditional use in an R-4 zoning district and that she would also need to replat the lot to 4 accommodate a twin home building.
