Owasso Blvd, to the north and Western Avenue to the east. Independent School District #623 also requests a change in the Comprehensive Plan map relocation of the medium density residential uses and public park uses. Manager Reviewed: ~cQ Agenda Section: Background 1. For some time now, Independent School District #623 has been working with the City of Roseville, the surrounding neighborhood and the community at large in the planning for development of the 77.5 acres the district owns in the southeast quadrant of Dale Street and Owasso Boulevard South. The land was originally purchased by the School District as a site for a third high schooL With changes in the community and more efficient use of school facilities, the need for an additional high school on this site was eliminated making this surplus land for the district. As a part of a recent school bond referendum, the sale of this property was proposed as a method to fund other school improvement projects. 2, During the initial planning for this property, the City was interested in a coordinated development scheme that would include adjacent vacant parcels. This study area included 95 +/- acres. After the initial planning stage, the concept plan that was presented to the neighborhood and community, included approximately 95 townhomes and 111 single family lots. That plan was presented at numerous meetings with City officials, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the City. Since that time, the school district has been working on the best strategy for the actual development of the property. As was indicated at the sketch plan review in January, the district has decided to act as the developer of their property ~ delivering prepared single family and townhouse lots to a selected group of builders. John Shardlow represents the developer. The adjacent property to the north is proposed to be developed in a coordi!lated manner with the school district design but by a separate developer with a separate application. This development proposes 38 townhome units and 2 single family lots. When added to the School District proposal, the area includes 81 single family lots and 98 townhome units.
