The proposed use for t}� property is approximately 40 residential units <br />consisting of seven town homes, or villas on the western parcel (Site A), and a 33-unit <br />luxury condominium on the eastern parcel (Site B). <br />United Properties is only requesting approval of the condominium phase of The Villas at <br />Midland Hills. The condominium site, or Site B, is approximately 2.99 acres, and has an <br />existing zoning of R1 with a comprehensive land use plan designated as golf course. <br />United Properties received sketch plan approval, general concept approval from the <br />Planning Commission on October 1, 2003, and subsequently from City Council on <br />October 20, 2003. Also on October 20,2003, the Council approved the land use <br />amendmentfrom medium density residential and golf course to high density residential, <br />the preliminary plat, and a rezoning to PUD with an underlying zoning of R-3. The final <br />development plans are generally consistentwith those approvals. <br />The footprint and size of the condominium building has not changed, nor has its location <br />within the site. We have decreased the height of the building by eliminating the cupola <br />that was planned on the prior elevation. We have added additional parking to the front <br />of the building for visitors and guests along with keeping our ratio of two underground <br />stalls per unit forthe building. Due to decreasingthe average sizes of the units, we went <br />from 30 units to a 33 unit building. <br />We have added some additional planting to the extensive landscape plan for the site. <br />United Properties is also committed to do any additional landscaping in the adjacent <br />neighbor's yards to minimize any visual impact. <br />Per the request of the Rice Creek Watershed District, we have added some infiltration <br />basins to further enhance the water quality of the runoff on the site. We have changed <br />3500 West 80th Street. Minneapolis, MN 55431 • 952.831.1000 • fax 952.893.8804 • www.uproperties.com <br />
