rd ONE SUNWOOD DRIVE • BOX 399 • ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA 56302 • TEL. 612/252.6262 CONCORDIA ACADEMY Development Scenario The Concordia Academy site currently consists of 28 acres of land and a 449000 square foot school building. Brutger Companies, Inc. is proposing to develop 18 acres of the site into housing and the balance of the property and the school building will be purchased by the City to be used by the Park and Recreation Department as a Community Center. f' The housing component consists of 21 single family lots in the northeasterly portion of the site, 30 medium density residential rental units in three ten unit buildings in the northwest corner of the site, and 246 Units in three story buildings of 106 units, 64 units and 76 units, all with underground parking located along Highway 36 on the south portion of the site. The 21 single family lots are placed on the site to buffer the existing single family homes east of the site from the higher density housing to the south and west. The proposed detached housing will be developed by Brutger Companies using a unique lot design and housing concept called zero lot line housing.. Under this concept the house is placed on the lot line, with the open space concentrated on one side only. The proposed lots will be angled to provide a view of the side as well as the front of the home. Garage entrances will be located either on the front or side of the house to provide variety. In . addition, with Brutger Companies controlling the development, a variety of exterior elevations for each home style will be provided and placed various lots to eliminate the appearance of a repetitive row house. This development will be placed under an association for maintenance of the homeowners front yards with the rear yard being developed and maintained either by the homeowner or the association. A cedar privacy fence will surround the entire rear yard providing the homeowner with complete privacy. The homes will be primarily single level of 1,500 to 1,700 square feet . with two or three bedrooms on the main floor. The exterior materials will be brick and cedar with a textured shingled roof. Sale prices are expected to be $120,000-$130,000. As can be noted from the plan, the roadway servicing the single family homes terminates in a cul-de-sac rather than connecting to Lowell Avenue, minimizing the traffic impact to the single family residences to the east. The ten unit cluster home buildings are one and two story structures. These are the transition units between the proposed single family and the community center to the west. The rental homes will also be a combination of brick and cedar with garages being attached to the units.
