Ms. Rearing indicated all parking would be located on surface lots. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer questioned how many units would be constructed. <br /> <br />Ms. Rearing stated she was proposing to build 54 units. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson inquired what the rental rates would be. <br /> <br />Ms. Rearing commented the two bedroom units would rent for $1,000 per month. The four <br />bedroom units would be $1,600 per month. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson stated he was not super thrilled about the color scheme. He <br />recommended the color scheme more closely match the other buildings within The COR. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan was pleased that the ground level units would have patios. She asked if <br />residents would have to qualify for the affordable units. <br /> <br />Ms. Rearing reported this was the case. <br /> <br />5.07: Review Oakwood Development Concept (Levin Property) <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the purpose of this <br />case is to review a concept proposed by Oakwood Development for a property north of Estates of <br />Silver Oaks located along Highway 47. This is for presentation and discussion only. Staff has not <br />completed an official review. This project would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to <br />expand the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Staff is awaiting final decision by the <br />Metropolitan Council on two similar amendments (Brookfield 8th Addition; Woodlands 4th <br />Addition) to see how that might impact this request. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson expressed concern with the fact that this development would only have <br />one entrance/exit. He asked how long the cul-de-sac would be. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the cul-de-sac would not exceed 600 feet. <br />He then reviewed the ways homeowners would be able to access this subdivision. <br /> <br />John Peterson, developer for Oakwood Development, thanked staff for their assistance with this <br />project. He explained his property was right at the MUSA boundary. He stated his original intent <br />was to create 13 lots served by municipal water and sewer. However, after speaking with his <br />neighbor it was determined the Levin’s were interested in developing their property as well. He <br />described how his plans have changed in order to keep the cul-de-sac less than 600 feet, to reduce <br />the need for fill and to preserve trees. He noted the barn onsite was being demolished. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/April 6, 2017 <br />Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br />
