REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE: 4-10-96 CASE No:2 ~S- Department Approval: Agenda Section: 7(b) Other Actions Item Description: MIKE HAASE - ZEECE PROPERTY - CONSOLIDATION WITH CITY PROPERTY PUD SKETCH PLAN Backs!round: Staff has begun working on a PUD with developer Mike Haase and Michael Mularoni, architect, a potential buyer of the Zeece site and the adjoining city parcel. The 6 acre Zeece property, located at Albermarle and County Road B, is a subdivision that has not developed because it has some soil problems. The city owns 2.0 acres adjacent to the site. The Council's policy has been to discuss this type of request at a work session before requesting the developer to begin the hearing/approval process. The Council did review this proposal at a work session in February, 1996. Haase's company does smalr.apartment and toWnhouse projects on infill sites. He is proposing to construct 12 buildings, each with 6 housing units - a total of 72 new housing units. This type of project has been built in Hutchinson, Minnesota, but there are none here in the Twin Cities similar to this unit. Each unit would have 2 units at ground level and 4 units on the second and third levels. Two buildings are proposed to be rental buildings (12 total units) with the remainder to be owner occupied units. The garages for each unit would be attached and designed so that a resident would have spaces (one in front of the other) within the garage. Refinements are necessary on the amount of paving and turning movement area in front of each garage. Guest parking is also not shown. The buildings are proposed to be maintenance free exteriors. See the attached PUD sketch plan. In September of 1994, the City adopted a new comprehensive plan designation for this site that allowed medium density housing (4 to 10 units per acre) in a Planned Unit Development format, provided the units that face Burke have an architectural design that makes them compatible with single family units. The Zeece family (father and son) own homes within the project area and are proposing to add their lots to the PUD to increase the available land and density.
