Concordia School Site Meeting Notes Page 3 Rhody stated the $3.6 million land cost is driving the density and if Concordia cannot get that price, then Concordia will stay on that particular site. Johnson pointed out there is existing Council policy in place which encourages development of multifamily housing. She also added that the Concordia site is a special, unique site which may not lend itself to multifamily housing. Johnson stated that good quality landscaping, as was done at Centre Pointe Business Park, would be important for the redevelop- ment of this site. Rhody agreed that it was a unique site, and the potential existed to tie this site into the Central Park development. Johnson inquired about potential reuse of the site as a another school or a college. An unidentified resident stated a college would not be a good use on the site. Reiter pointed out that Corpus Christi Church may be looking for a new site. Maschka questioned placing large homes on small lots. Rhody stated the neighborhood is willing to work with a developer, but the neighborhood needs to be protected. An unidentified resident stated it is not realistic to develop the site as one hundred percent single family but, in his opinion, town homes or cluster homes towards Dale and Highway 36 would be reasonable to provide a buffer to single family homes farther to the east. Maschka stated single story, zero lot line type housing would be OK on the site. Rhody stated the neighborhood wants something "nice" to be, developed on the site, and they are willing to look at alterna- tives. Johnson stated she would like to see some special housing develop- ment on the site rather than apartments. Maschka asked if zero lot lines would be a component of housing as an alternative for Roseville residents. Kehr stated a development such as Art Mueller's, on County Road B, would be a good use of the site and that it may go slow, but it would go. An unidentified resident said the various parties need to continue to talk and look at various alternatives for the site.
