CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT Memorandum TO: Hugo Economic Development Authority FROM: Liz Hanson, Community Development Intern SUBJECT: LaValle Properties Concept Plan DATE: October 3,2012, for the EDA Meeting of October 8, 2012 1. BACKGROUND: The properties are generally located to the north of Frenchman Road and west of Finale Avenue near City Hall. The property owner, Marvin LaValle, has signed a contract with the applicant, Bill Lentsch, to develop five parcels of land. The compilation of Lavalle's properties are currently vacant and contain flat,buildable land with a small portion of wetlands. The applicant would like to get feedback from the EDA on the project in regards to general layout, Lions Park expansion,housing types, road circulation and construction, and financing of road construction. 2. CONCEPT PLAN: Mr. Lentsch is planning to develop five parcels of land, all of which are owned by Marvin LaValle. The concept plan is shown to be developed in phases and will only take place on three of the five parcels. The site plan shows the layout of three multifamily residential buildings with parking and driveway connections stemming from Upper 146th Street and 146th Street, as well as the possible Lions Park expansion across Finale Avenue in lieu of the park dedication fee. Mr. Lentsch stated that the Assisted Living Facility will be the first project in the first phase of development. CommonBond intends to be another development phase, and the Congregate Care center will be a final phase. The concept plan is very basic intentionally. This was done to get comments from the EDA before Mr. Lentsch moves forward with the formal development approval process. Current Zoning The LaValle Properties are located in the Central Residential (CR-3) zoning district. The applicant intends to apply for a Planned Unit Development(PUD) to accommodate the density that is proposed. Page 11
