PUBLIC HEARING. <br />None. <br />V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. <br />A. Resolution 11-072: Approval of the Preliminary Development Plan the Final <br />Development Plan and the Planned Unit Development Amendment (PUD) for Autumn <br />Woods II. 2580 Kenzie'rerrace Saint Anthony Village Hennepin Minnesota <br />Planning Commission Chair Jensen advised the Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary <br />Development Plan, the Final Development Plan and the Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />Amendment for Autumn Woods II and unanimously recommended its approval by the City <br />Council. He presented several drawings of the overall site located in the southwest corner of the <br />master developed area and discussed the planned access from Kenzie Terrace, the proposed <br />additional parking along Kenzie Terrace, and improvements to overall drainage on the site. He <br />advised that the Planning Commission public hearing included testimony from several residents <br />and stated that an engineering summary was not available at the time of the public hearing. He <br />indicated the applicants advised that one-half to two-thirds of run-off will be controlled by the <br />use of rain gardens. He stated that residents also had questions about the groundwater and low <br />water table and the applicants explained the site is substantially higher than the buildings to the <br />east and the underground parking is approximately 4-5' above the water table. He stated that <br />residents also had questions as to the overall height of the proposed structure and the applicants <br />advised the proposed building is one additional story above the surrounding buildings on Kenzie <br />Terrace and as the site slopes to the east, the building will be 1.5 stories higher than the easterly <br />buildings with the roof tapered to provide relief to the surrounding homes. He explained that the <br />applicants have requested additional on -street parking on Kenzie Terrace, similar to Silver Lake <br />Road, pending approval from Hennepin County. He indicated that the public hearing included <br />additional questions related to overall drainage on the site and whether drainage would be an <br />issue for houses to the south and the applicants assured that drainage will not be an issue. <br />Councilmember Jenson requested further information regarding the requested one foot <br />encroachment into the front yard setback in order to have 6' porches instead of 5' porches. <br />Planning Commission Chair Jensen explained that the Code allows a 5' porch but with the <br />flexibility provided by a PUD, the applicants are requesting 6' porches along the front fagade. <br />He stated that there was no other noted deviation from Code other than the combination of the lot <br />lines providing for the sharing of multiple driveways. He added that there was discussion <br />regarding the parking calculations and whether the assisted living facility's parking calculations <br />were sufficient. He stated that the applicant's assessment of parking needs revealed that many of <br />the existing parking stalls were rarely used and could handle overflow parking for staff or guests. <br />City Engineer Hubmer stated that a preliminary review has been done but the final drainage <br />calculations were received this morning and he has not had sufficient time to review the <br />application as presented tonight. He requested that he be given additional time to review those <br />calculations and present his summary at the next City Council meeting. <br />5 <br />
