CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 04/28/2015 Submitted For: Tim Gladhill, Community Development By: Tina Goodroad, Community Development 7. 3. Information Title: Adopt Resolution #15-04-093 Granting Preliminary Approvals for COR Parkview Addition and Parkview East 1. Preliminary Plat for Major Subdivision 2. Preliminary Site Plan for 121 Unit Apartment Building Purpose/Background: The purpose of this file is to review the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Site Plan Review for the Parkview East Apartment Complex. Final Plat and Final Site Plan Review will be considered tentatively for May 12, 2015. At that time, the contingencies for plan revisions must be made. The Subject Property is located south of Ramsey Parkway, east of Town Center Drive East and west of Rhinestone Street NW and north of Sunwood Drive. The property is located in COR -1 zoning sub -district. The application includes a plat to be called COR Parkview Addition and development of phase one apartment complex consisting of one four-story building with a total of 121 units with tuck under, detached garage and surface parking. It is noted that the City Council is considering a contingent approval of the plans. The Developer desires to review the current plan set with the City Council as it relates to advisory board recommendations and seek preliminary approvals at the April 28 Meeting. A key milestone in the Purchase Agreement occurs on May 1 in which the City will retain earnest money if the Purchase Agreement is extended as allowed in the Agreement. The Developer desires an indication from the City Council on the status of the plans before that date occurs. There are a number of plan revisions that are required to satisfy the contingency of approval: 1. Resolve discrepancies in layout between architectural plan set and civil engineering set. 2. Address deficiency in 'build -to' line 3. Revise boulevard and sidewalk widths 4. Address Planning Commission and Environmental Policy Board recommendations regarding amount of surface parking area 5. Address EPB recommendation regarding internal landscaping and landscaping along southern property line to screen detached garages Final background note: the revised architectural plan set will require revisions to the Civil Engineering plan set. Of key reference for future review, this will impact the layout of the proposed underground stormwater system. Staff cannot fully understand the impacts of this revision until revised plans are submitted for review as part of the Final Plat and Final Site Plan Review anticipated to be in front of the City Council on May 12. Notification: Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property of the Public Hearing via Standard US Mail. A notification of Public Hearing was published in the Anoka County Union Herald. Observations/Alternatives:
