Mr. Tibone was unsure and estimated 30 to 40. <br />Commissioner Bauer commented that there are 110 units in this proposal and would most likely <br />attract the same type of buyer as the current development. <br />Mr. Tibone confirmed that the target market would be young families, but could also be great for <br />seniors or young professionals. <br />Commissioner Bauer asked the length of time to complete the original development and have the <br />homes sold. <br />Mr. Tibone commented that he was not with Centra at that time and therefore does not have that <br />information. He stated that the typical build cycle for a unit is four to six months, and they would <br />typically aim to sell two units per month. He noted that would be all market driven and upon <br />demand. He stated that they could potentially sell 18 to 24 units per year with a lag time to build <br />those. He stated that for 100 home sites perhaps it would be a four to five year build out depending <br />on interest rates and the market demand. <br />Commissioner Anderson referenced the northwest corner of the property which has a dead-end <br />street and asked where snow storage would occur. He stated that he would not want to see big <br />snowbanks against Bunker. He stated that as the layout is currently, he would not support this <br />without some significant changes. <br />Mr. Tibone asked what those changes would be. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he would want to see the homes on the southern portion <br />eliminated to preserve that space for retail. <br />Planning Manager Larson stated that the stormwater pipe is being installed now and further south <br />than identified on the sketch plan, noting that it would be under the street as it created more <br />developable land. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated that he recalled a discussion where the Commission voiced the <br />thoughts of Commissioner Anderson that the northern portion could be residential, but the southern <br />portion should be retail. <br />Planning Manager Larson identified an area along Armstrong and Sunwood that is still being <br />preserved for retail. He commented that he would be concerned the retail down Ramsey Parkway <br />would not be as successful because there would be much lower traffic counts and retailers like <br />visibility. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked is 27.5 would be the length of the driveways. <br />Planning Commission/ October 26, 2023 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />
