5.2 l oseville's policy has been to use site - specific Planned Unit Development Zones and Development contracts in redevelopment areas with mixes of uses. Applewood Pointe and its mixed residential uses will a Planned Unit Development zone, specific to this 13.7 acres site. 5.3 In early February 2003, the City Planner received the "concept" submittal package for distribution to members of the Development review Committee (DRQ for review and comment. Concurrently, United Properties held a neighborhood meeting regarding the proposed park, its size, and improvements. The "`initial" submittal included among ether items an "L" shaped park, a 3 story senior complex, a dead end public street, and the need for a large retaining wall on the east side of the parcel. At the neighborhood meeting held by United Properties and attended by members of the pans Department on February 7, 2003, residents discussed the "initial 1911 proposal and improvements by creating a larger green area for the park and turning the 3 story structure into a partial 4 story structure. Residents also provided the developer and staff with comments pertaining to the proposed park amenities. 5.4 Given the comments from both staff and the adjacent residents, United Properties revised the site plan, cooperative footprint, and building elevations, and submitted these plans for DR review. Because of the DR's initial concerns regarding the retaining wall and its desire to have additional green space for both the park and snow storage, the revised plan has been accepted as the most appropriate design for the Arona site. PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE: 5.7 The proposal for A.pplewood Pointe includes the extension o f Arona Street and Terrace Drive within 50 to 55 foot wide dedicated right-of ways. Arona Street is designed as 26 foot wide road and includes designated on street parking areas along the west side of the street. Arona Street would intersect with Terrace Drive creating a three way intersection (two public streets and private drive access). Terrace Drive is designed as a 26 foot wide road that includes designated on- street parking areas for the western half of the street along the south side. Terrace Drive will be improved to connect to the existing Terrace Drive located easterly through both the Terrace Garden and Centennial Garden Apartment's property. There will be no on- street parking allowed on the portion of the Terrace give extension that will connect the new Terrace give and the old Terrace Drive. The Community Development and Public works Departments are current working with the property owners regarding the street extension improvement, which is a separate item, outside of the property boundaries in the Arona/United Properties project. The Council may be asked to approve the use of eminent domain to acquire necessary public easements for the Terrace Drive extension. 5.8 The proposal also calls for a public street and right-of-way extending from Arona Street east to provide public street access to the seven single family homes and senior cooperative. The right -of -way would be dedicated at 50 feet wide and have a roadway with a width of 26 feet and parking of the south side, as well as an area to back -up and turn around. (Initially, staff recommended that this roadway be private- however, a private road would increase maintenance costs and require an association for the single family homes, which in turn would make them less affordable. Through the provision of a properly sized/des igned turn- around and access easements, staff has detenrnined that a public roadway is more desirable and cost effective.)
