� ROSEVaLLE PLANNING �FFICE HOIIRS 10/23/91 4 <br />The ideu has been around for some time and there are hundreds of <br />such communities in Denmark and the Netherlands, but only a few in <br />the United States, and none in the Twin Cities. While co-housing <br />may sound like a throwback to 60's communes, the present-day <br />proj ects house a variety of families and individuals from all walks <br />of life, and are typically well-designed, well-maintained, and not <br />inexpensive. They ar� similar to tlze housing arrangement in many <br />senior citizens nursing homes, with some pri.va�e and some shared <br />facilities, only expanded to include all ages (see attached New <br />York Times article). <br />The group here is exploring the possibility of purchasing the <br />former Lexington School at Lexingl.on anci County Road B to convert <br />it to a co-housing development. They are in the prelimi�.ary <br />pl.anning stages, and have not yet secured funding or settled on a <br />developer, but did have a general site plan for �he Lexington site, <br />which would convert the classrooms to 980-square-foot one-bedroom <br />apartments (1-1/2 classrooms to 2 BR units, 2 classrooms to 4 BR <br />units ), with the library, gym, kitchen, and other large areas being <br />used for common space. There would be room in the old building <br />� for office space (w�rk near home). <br />Such a project would be ideally suited for the PUD process, where <br />the City could consider overall concept, the mix of uses, and the <br />design of th� site and buildings a11 together. It is not clear <br />when, or if, they might be prepared to proceed. We indicated we <br />would work with them to develop the City requirements for the <br />project when they have a specifi.c proposal. <br />L_J <br />
