Case Number_ 912�75 ( August b, 1975 � � ` Page Four The buildi�g is proposed to be six stories high iota3ing fifty-four feet_ 7he design however, i5 still the very unique structure previously propased which features an interior atrium. Attached to this report is a copy of a section drawn thru the 6uilding indicating th� nature a�d scale of this open space in the center of the structure. We suggesi that this feature and other qualities of the development w�13 make it one of t�e finest elderly projects in the Twin Cities. 4. Large scale p�ans of the proposed developemnt will be available for review at the Plann�ng Commission and Council hearings. We �ave examined the plans and fou�d them ta be very complete and o� hzgh quality. The landscaping plan �articularly provides for generous amaunts af planting material and a berm treatment of the iand between the building a�d the residential ar�a to �he north. As noied earlier, adequate space is �ravided for additianal parking area if needed in the future. This structure is a handsome ane, and shou]d 7ook well on the site in this area of the City. We suggest that the 2arge open spaces around the building (except n�xt ta the commercial) will enhance the develapment in the area, and not have a dele�erious effect on single �amily development in the area. �o access to Dione Street from the project will be provided, A1l access will come off Larpenteur A�enue as was shown in t�e previo�s propasa3. 5. When the project was approved in 1972, severa3 cond�tions were attached to the approval. One conditian was that the building be p�aced 80 feet from Dione Street. Nere, the current plans indica�e a 60 foot - set-back on that side. Th� applicant may w�ll be questioned as �o whether or nat the bUilding could be pu� back 80 feet as was th� prev�ous case. A second cond�tion attached to the Sp�ciai Use Permit was that the building and grounds be developed in accardance_with the plans � submitted. This conditio� should be added again, wiih the conditio� that additional-parking can be provided a5 previously mentioned. A third candition was that the property be restricted so as to allow na mare than two p�rsonsper apartmeni and that at least one person occupying each apartment be: .- - :� I� c. at ]eas� sixty (60) years old, or be defined as elderly under_the National Housing Ac�,=as amended or superseded. 8e �1igible for retirement under app7icable Sacia� Security regulatians as amended from �ime to time - _ 8e physicaliy handicapped, and certi-fied by a physician, in accordar�Ge w��h the Department of Fiousing and Urban � Developme�t regulai�ons, as amended #'rom time to time: 3hese conditions were to app7y un�til the year 2002.
