ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JULY 22, 2019 7 Mayor Grant explained the fees referred to the meter flow and were already being paid by the end user. The motion carried 4-0-1 (Councilmember Holmes abstained). 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Planning Case 19-002 – Site Plan Review, Final Planned Unit Development, Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Preliminary Plat – Summit Development – 1718,1720, 1722 Parkshore Drive and 4177 Old Highway 10 Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated Summit Development has submitted an application for Site Plan Review, Final Planned Unit Development, Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan, Conditional Use Permit, Preliminary Plat and Vacation of Existing Easements. The Applicant is requesting to construct a three (3) story, 120unit senior housing building which will include independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. The property is located at 1718 Parkshore Drive. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and is guided as Medium Density Residential on the Land Use Plan. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the proposed development site is approximately 5.32 acres in size and is comprised of four separate properties: 1718, 1720, and 1722 Parkshore Drive and 4177 Old Highway 10. The properties are currently vacant. The City owns an approximately 4-acre parcel of land that borders the site on the west and extends north to the south side of Round Lake. This property is identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as being part of the Arden Hills parks system, but it has not yet been developed by the City to include recreational amenities. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained in 1989, the City approved a Final Plat and Planned Unit Development for this site that would have allowed for the construction of four stand-alone apartment buildings, one on each of the four lots. Each building would have included 16 units for a total of 64 units. The developer was required to dedicate 10 percent of land area to fulfill park dedication requirements. The developer dedicated 26,100 square feet or .774 acres as park on the final plat. The final plat was recorded, but the developer did not move forward with construction due to financial constraints. The PUD expired in January 1992. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reviewed the Plan Evaluation in further detail and recommended the Council hold a Public Hearing. Councilmember Holden commented on the height flexibility and stated she did not have a problem with the building height for this development. She indicated she had a problem with the proposed parking. She recommended the parking memory care parking be reduced to .5 versus .75. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the parking requirements could be reduced if the Council approved of this change, noting this would reduce the parking on
