Approval of Minutes for the Planning Commission Meeting of July 11, 2024 Commissioner Petty made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Andress, to approve the minutes for the Planning Commission meeting of July 11, 2024. All ayes. Motion carried. Public Hearing: Fenway Land Company—Site Plan, PUD Amendment, and Preliminary Plat requests to construct five 12-unit apartment buildings to be known as "Oneka Fields." Community Development Director Juba presented background on the requests from Fenway Land Company to construct five 12-unit apartment buildings to be known as "Oneka Fields," located on Outlot C of The Shores of Oneka Lake development. The Shores of Oneka Lake PUD General Plan was approved in 2022, originally planning for 218 lots with a net density of 2.2 units per acre, and the development plans had exceeded ordinance standards in a number of ways. Included with the PUD General Plan was a future apartment project on Outlot C, which was planned for 100 units, although the current request is for 60 units. The Shores of Oneka Lake received a PUD Amendment with the development of the 41" addition, which had originally been planned to be constructed as 24 twin home units, but was changed to 25 detached products in 2024. With the 2024 PUD Amendment and the request for the apartments, the total number of units for the PUD would be 279. The apartment project's management will maintain the property including lawn care and snow removal. The request for a PUD Amendment is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's land use designation for the area as low-density residential (LD). The Site Plan for the apartments includes five buildings that each include 12 units, and each unit having its own driveway and exterior entrance. The plan shows 1591" Street being extended from its current intersection with Goodview Avenue to the north property line. Two access points are proposed for the site, one of which on 1591" Street and the other on Goodview Avenue. The site plan meets parking requirements for multifamily, and includes construction of a trail along 1591" Street. Staff is encouraging the applicant to construct some internal sidewalks to connect to the trail. The landscape
