PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 4 January 1984 1481-83 The Housing Alliance South of County Road B, Easterly of Dale Street Amendment to Comprehensive Plan 1. The Housing Alliance is a development firm headed by Arvid Elness, who also heads Arvid Elness Architects, Inc. Arvid Elness is perhaps best known for his renovation of the Butler Square Building in Minneapolis while he worked for the architectural firm of Miller, Hansen, Westerbeck, Bell Architects, Inc. Attached to this report is a brochure put together by the Housing Alliance for Lyngblomsten, a non-profit health service management organization representing 25 lutheran churches in the Metropolitan Area. Seven of these churches are in Roseville. The objective of this organization is to develop a senior citizens housing development offering up to 160 housing units which would be sold as condo- miniums to senior couples or individuals. The development would be managed by Lyngblomsten which is an organization similar to Ebenezer Homes, Presbyterian Homes, Augustana Homes, etc. This organization has been looking for a site in Roseville for some time, and have selected a site south of County Road B, easterly of Dale Street, just north of the City Park in the southeast quadrant of County Road B and Dale Street. 2. Attached is a copy of that portion of the City's Comprehensive Plan which indicates the future intent of the City to acquire approximately 550 feet of frontage on County Road B for the expansion of the park. This proposed expansion (as indicated on the Comprehensive Plan) is one of a small number of such expansions proposed to the park system in the Comprehensive Plan. Only two of such expansions are on the priority list, one being that of land contiguous to Langton Lake, and the other an expansion of Central Park north to County Road C, east of Dale Street. The first acquisition is under way and partially completed at the southwest corner of Langton Lake and C-2. 3. Prior to any request for rezoning, in this case, the easterly 400 feet of the property would require an amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicating the use to be high density residential versus proposed park and single family. The applicant is therefore requesting that the Planning Commission and Council consider an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as indicated on the attached drawing labeled "Plan Amendment".
