City Planner Rasmussen stated that Chris Bulow is requesting preliminary plat approval of <br />Mallard Ponds to facilitate the development of 17 detached townhomes, 40 twinhomes and a <br />future apartment complex. The property is 16.67 acres in size and is within the Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area (MUSA). The adjacent parcels to the north and west are zoned Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD). The parcels on the east are zoned B-1 Business. The Comprehensive Plan <br />Draft dated December 21, 1999, designates this area for high density residential according to the <br />Future Land Use map. This category includes housing developments with a maximum density of <br />15 units per net acre and includes housing units such as townhomes, condominiums and <br />apartments. The property was supposed to be in the development moratorium until February 16, <br />2000, but at the applicant's request, the Council excepted the property from the moratorium on <br />January 11, 2000. In keeping with the text relating to high density residential in the draft <br />Comprehensive Plan, detached townhouse units are proposed on the perimeter of the plat <br />abutting adjacent single family lots in the Flintwood PUD. The revised plan proposes Barium <br />Street running south into the plat and continuing west to Dysprosium Street, which then feeds <br />into C.R. #116. Barium Street would be the only through street in the development. Argon <br />Street is proposed to be turned into a cul-de-sac running south from the Flintwood Hills <br />Development. All other streets in the plat are proposed to be private streets. The City Code <br />requires a site plan review for the apartments; no site plan review is required for the detached <br />townhomes and twinhomes. However, the City recaptures the opportunity to review <br />development aspects relating to the townhomes and twinhomes such as architectural standards, <br />off-street parking, structure setbacks, landscaping, etc., as part of the rezoning process. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Chris Bulow, 9380 Napier Avenue NE, Otsego, explained that the revisions that were made to <br />the preliminary plat came directly from the community and staff concerns relating to the <br />additional traffic. He stated that changing Argon Street into a cul-de-sac would eliminate any <br />through traffic through the existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson inquired if the Commission was reviewing the preliminary plat for the <br />entire site or only the townhome development. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik explained that the preliminary plat would include the <br />townhomes, apartment lot but not the building, and the existing piece of commercial property. <br /> <br />Catherine Gust, 14079 Dysprosium Street, Ramsey, inquired if the rezoning had already been <br />approved. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson replied no, that the item is currently tabled. <br /> <br />Ms. Gust stated that at the last meeting it was mentioned that the apartment complex may be <br />developed as a senior complex, but nothing was included in the plans to attract seniors. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/March 20, 2000 <br /> Page 2 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />
