MEMO TO: Lake Owasso Residence Replacement file <br />BY: Rich McCarthy <br />DATE: March 8, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: Response to Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review <br />Legal Description of Property: Certificate of Title No. 349461 -Lots 1 to 7 inclusive, Block 8, <br />"Owasso": The north Yz of that part of Government Lot 4, <br />Section 36, Township 30, Range 23 lying south of the original <br />south line of the plat of "Owasso", excepting and reserving <br />therefrom that portion conveyed to the Minneapolis, St. Paul and <br />Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company, by Deed recorded in Block <br />159 Deeds, Page 620 in the office of the Register of Deeds of <br />Ramsey County, Minnesota, and also except that part of <br />Government Lot 4 lying easterly of aforesaid railroad right-of- <br />way, according to the United States Government survey thereof. <br />5. The Planned Unit Development District will permit more than one building on a single parcel. <br />A. The Lake Owasso Residence has been a "good neighbor" of this area for decades. <br />Conversion of the living units from three institutional type buildings to nine residential scale <br />structures will be more consistent with adjacent residential development. <br />B. Although the Planned Unit Development provides for innovations in layout of residential <br />developments, planning standards associated with the City's Development Regulation Section <br />200 associated with (R2) "Attached Residential District", Shoreland Management" <br />requirements and other applicable "Site Development Standards" have been recognized by <br />this plan. Parking requirements of 2.5 spaces/unit with one being enclosed are unnecessary <br />for this use. Staff will be required to park personal vehicles at the parking lot on the north. <br />Parking spaces of two per 8-bed unit will facilitate short-term visitors, maintenance, deliveries, <br />or 1 van per two 8-bed units. <br />C. The P.U.D. approach allows multiple buildings on one site providing a more "normative" living <br />and learning environment for the residents, including smaller "family sized" groups and <br />enhanced caregiver staff effectiveness and efficiency regarding programs, daily activities and <br />safety. <br />D. The P.U.D. approach eases individual building lot setbacks and access street requirements to <br />enable layout of the buildings in a manner which preserves a maximum amount of centralized <br />outdoor activity space and forms a visual and physical containment to enhance the residents' <br />safety. <br />Preliminary engineering analysis indicates no public utilities or streets will need to be extended to <br />support the proposed development. <br />Ramsey County will continue to own and manage the proposed new facilities. There is no intention <br />to sell or lease any of the property. <br />The current development schedule is as follows: <br />Site & Building Programming <br />Schematic Design <br />Design Development <br />Construction Documents <br />County Review <br />Bidding /Award <br />Construction -Phase I <br />Construction -Phase II <br />a:1m-Iorrpudreview.307 <br />January -February 2000 <br />March <br />April <br />May -June <br />July <br />August <br />September <br />March 2001 <br />
