Member Rengel asked for colored renderings, an entire site plan for the PUD, and the density of the units within the 4.25 acres (14 units per acre). Member Rengel asked if the open space requirements had been met. Michael Falk responded that 50 percent of the 4.25 acres would be green space. Member Rengel asked if the south area would be used primarily as a buffer ITom the residential area. The staff responded it would. Member Thomas asked Rick Jopke to explain the tax consequences of a project on this site. Mr. Jopke responded that the project will be a taxable project. Member Roberts asked for clarification and evidence of sources for senior parking at a reduced rate in comparison to apartment units. Chairman Wietecki asked for a comparison of a regular apartment requirement for parking in comparison to senior parking. (The staff responded 120 spaces would be necessary if the building was a regular apartment building; whereas, 72 spaces are provided as a senior building.) Jeff Huggett, representing the developer, stated that the site was a good site for seniors because of the close proximity of parks, shopping, senior centers, churches and schools. He noted that meetings had been held with the neighbors. The design of the building had changed to move to the north and had reduced concerns about ponding, children, schools, and traffic. He estimated that each senior unit may be expected to add one traffic trip per day, per unit. Chairman Keith Wietecki asked Mr. Huggett to clarifY that the PUD for the entire site would include the rectory, the church, school, future church parking, as well as the senior housing project. He noted that any amendment on the site would require further hearings and approvals by the City. John Rich, architect for the senior housing project, described the housing project architecture in detail. Member Thomas asked if the siding would be maintenance-ITee. The architect responded the siding would be either vinyl or metal siding, and that venting on the roof would be clustered into groups of exhaust pipes. He noted there would be no mechanical equipment on the exterior except for a small air conditioning unit adjacent to the commqn area. All other mechanical equipment will be in the basement of the building. Member Rengel asked if the north side of the building could be built with underground parking instead of slab construction. The architect responded that the purpose of the slab construction is to reduce overall costs and the project simply does not need the additional parking. Member Rengel asked if the pond will be supported with water. The architect responded it would be and is considered an amenity. Member Rengel asked if the colors of the materials were available and that the 4
