In 2005, Dean Johnson Homes received plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval for a 76 unit townhouse development named GlenRose of Rosemount. GlenRose was approved with two townhome styles: 42 back-to-back townhomes called Condominiums and 34 single width townhomes called Rowhouses. Only one building of six (6) Condominium units and one building of six (6) Rowhouse units were constructed. In 2010, Dean Johnson lost the remaining development to the finance company Alpine Capital. In 2011, the City entered into a Payment Agreement to obtain funds to address some infrastructure improvements for the project, as well as reimburse previously incurred costs. There was no developer identified to finish the project as initially approved. Currently, Alpine Capital has partnered with Mark Elliot homes to finish the construction of the development. The applicant, Mark Elliot Homes, proposes to finish the development of GlenRose, but he does not feel that the six (6) and seven (7) unit buildings are marketable. The applicant proposes to reduce the six (6) unit Condominium buildings into four (4) unit Quad buildings, and reduce the six (6) and seven (7) unit Rowhouse buildings into three (3) and four (4) unit Rowhomes. Mark Elliot Homes also proposes to update the exterior elevations by add more gables and dormers and giving the Quads four-sided architecture.
