Agenda - Council Work Session - 03/23/2021

Home

concepts were discussed, with no apparent clear consensus on desired residential densities (one aspect of the discussion). Since then, the Owner has submitted the attached Concept Plan and desires Council feedback on proposal. The Planning Commission has not yet seen the current concept plan. The revised concept plan is in response to concerns raised by the Planning Commission when asked about level of support for attached townhomes. There did not appear to be sufficient support to move forward with an attached townhome concept, resulting in the current concept for detached single-family homes on smaller lots. The proposed lot sizes (55 foot wide) would require a Zoning Amendment. This is not a formal Sketch Plan submission. Timeframe: The primary focus of this case should focus on the potential expansion of the park, taking up to 15 minutes for consensus direction. The Planning Commission appreciates any high-level direction regarding future land use on the remnant church parcel including, but not limited to support/lack of support for 55 foot wide lots instead of 80 foot wide lots. Funding Source: Funding for any potential land purchase this case discusses would be from the Park Trust Fund (expansion). In the alternative, the City may receive park land through the subdivision process, including dedication of land at the time of development OR purchase in advance of development with credit towards future park dedication obligations. Feedback on on residential land use alternatives for the church property does not require funding considerations. Responsible Party(ies): Parks & Assistant. Public Works Superintendent Riverblood (park expansion) Deputy City Administrator Gladhill (future land use) St. Kathe\arine Drexel Catholic Church is expected to have a representative(s) available to speak to their proposal for future residential land use on their property. It is noted that both the Planning Commission Chair and Vice -Chair also represent Saint Katharine Drexel on their future building plans. Outcome: By consensus, acknowledge the Park & Recreation Commission's recommendation to City Council that, "the future subdivision of land east of Loral I Armstrong Delaney Central Park include a park expansion consisting of two new areas for flex -use athletic fields, additional public access and parking, to be considered as fulfilling Park Dedication obligations." Provide general feedback to church representatives on future residential options on their property (appropriate densities).
