(9-0) PUBLIC HEARING CASE #88-30; PUD Chairman Probst opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. • CONCEPT PLAN, and Deputy Clerk Iago verified the Notice of Hearing CONTINENTAL DVLPMT. was published in the New Brighton Bulletin on January 18, CORP. , OLD HWY 10 1989 and mailed to affected property owners the same date. Planner Bergly referred to his report of 2-1-89 which outlined the proposed concept plan. He stated the applicant had appeared before the commission in October 1988 to discuss two proposals; a single family plat and an apartment concept. Commission responded with a preference for the apartment plan and provided the applicant with general direction relative to density, parking and a preference for townhouse development versus apartments. Bergly explained the applicant had responded by proposing a plan that is slightly above the mid point of the R-3 and R-4 densities, all garages have been located within the buildings and from the site interior the buildings have the appearance of a townhouse complex rather than apartment complex. The Planner reviewed the site data and the procedures for the PUD application. He noted the zoning ordinance does not indicate if or when rezoning or platting are required. It is presumed that if the appropriate public hearings are held and PUD General Plan is approved, any necessary rezoning or platting would occur automatically with the issuance of the PUD permit. Bergly stated the overall development concept takes advantage of the exterior views and recommended the landscaping within the parking court area should be • bermed and heavily landscaped to offer separation for the four units per building that face the area. The Planner stated the stormwater management plan has not been developed at this time; an area, situated north of the farmstead, is left in open space and will be graded for temporary ronding of stormwater.
