CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY <br /> DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT <br /> Planning and Zoning Application <br /> Staff Report <br /> TO: Hugo Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Max Gort, Associate Planner, through Rachel Juba, Community <br /> Development Director. <br /> SUBJECT: Summit Management LLC.—Rosemary Place Sketch Plan <br /> DATE: November 4, 2022, for the Planning Commission Meeting of November <br /> 10, 2022 <br /> REVIEW DEADLINE (120-days): January 7, 2023 <br /> 1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY(EDA) MEETING UPDATE: <br /> At its October 18, 2022, meeting the EDA reviewed and provided comments on the sketch plan. <br /> The EDA generally agreed that a multi-family residential use on the property may be more <br /> viable than commercial uses, since the visibility is not great. They states that there is commercial <br /> along CSAH 8 and it does fulfill the vision of the City to have commercial uses along CSAH 8. <br /> They states that the property is the back side of the commercial uses and would allow residents <br /> to walk to the adjacent commercial uses. One EDA member stated that the City should evaluate <br /> apartments in the City, since it does not seem like there is a good plan to allow them. They did <br /> have questions about the detached garage spaces and asked why underground parking was not <br /> considered. The applicant states that he would like to have lower rent prices and underground <br /> parking is a large cost for construction. The EDA did not comment on the overall site plan, but <br /> said it needed more work. <br /> 2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: <br /> The applicant, Summit Management LLC, is proposing to construct a 90-unit apartment complex <br /> on the west side of a 12.96-acre property, of which 7.75 acres are buildable. The property is <br /> located to the south of Rosemary Way N and north of Frenchman Road/CSAH 8, west of <br /> Festival Foods. The property is bisected diagonally by a 50-foot wide utility transmission line <br /> easement. <br /> The applicant is requesting review and comments on a sketch plan for development of the <br /> property with an apartment use, where current zoning and land use is commercial. <br /> 1 <br /> Rosemary Place Sketch Plan <br />
