OLD HWY 10 & I-694 Planner Bergly referred Commission to his report dated 4-5-89, and stated the Arden Hills Council approved the PUD Concept Plan in February 1989 for less than • 10 units per acre with conditions as listed on page one of his report. Bergly explained that pursuant to the PUD requirements in the Zoning Ordinance, the developer is requesting approval of the "General Plan" for the PUD Concept Plan as approved in February and the plan submitted has been revised to comply with the conditions set forth by Council. The specific action now required includes: General Plan approval, Preliminary Plat approval and Rezoning from R-1 to R-4 for all of the land in the PUD, except the park dedication. The Planner recommended the Preliminary Plat and Rezoning be contingent upon approval of the PUD General Development Plan; the division pattern would not be appropriate for any development other than the one proposed by this applicant. Planner Bergly stated page two of his report outlines that the plan meets Ordinance Compliance; he noted one handicapped parking stall is within the parking setback area and could easily be moved to the south ten feet to meet the required setback. Bergly briefly explained the substantial change in the conditions and character of the area since the property was last zoned and identified the basis for rezoning the property; he noted the zoning changes to the north of this site. The Planner explained the Preliminary Plat dividing the property into five lots (plus the proposed park dedication) is principally for for mortgage purposes and creates a separate lot for the farmstead. He advised the four apartment lots • would have cross-easements for access, utilities, drainage, use of open space and maintenance. Bergly advised a Final Plat would have to be submitted at a later date; he noted there is a provision in the Ordinance whereby the City could waive the Final Plat requirement.
