<br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> <br />To: Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council <br /> St. Anthony Village Planning Commission <br /> Charlie Yunker, City Manager <br />From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br /> Ashley Morello, Assistant City Manager <br />Date: Goal Setting – January 17, 2025 <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The following is the memo provided at the December 17, 2024 City Council and Planning joint <br />work session. At this meeting, an interested developer described their concept for the City <br />property at 3803 Stinson Boulevard. During this meeting, the Council and Planning Commission <br />expressed an interest in housing for the site, with varying priorities and perspectives. For the <br />purposes of the goal setting discussion, Council should solidify their vision for the site and <br />identify whether they intend to continue conversations with the interested developer. <br /> <br />In addition to context of the proposal, the following sections further outline previous priorities <br />identified by the City Council, previous concepts that were not supported by the City Council, <br />and key land use characteristics of the 0.95-acre site. <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The presenters, represented by Vishal Dutt, are exploring the potential acquisition and <br />development of the City’s property at 3803 Stinson Boulevard. The purpose of the upcoming <br />Worksession is to identify any City official comment related to the applicant’s land use <br />proposal, toward the ultimate goal of a more formal land use application and land conveyance. <br /> <br />The presenters have provided a preliminary sketch of a development concept site plan, <br />including 16 row-house style townhouses, with a single private drive entrance from 39th Street <br />NE. The concept envisions a mix of 2 and 3 bedroom units, all of which are envisioned to be <br />two stories in height. <br /> <br />In prior discussions for this site, the City has largely discussed residential uses of a modest <br />density, focusing on context of the neighborhood and avoiding large massive building(s) that <br />would potentially be inconsistent with the single-level townhouse development to the north of <br />39th Street. In the past, the City has discouraged very large and dense concept proposals under <br />this rationale.
