Planned Unit Development Master Plan with Comprehensive Plan Amendment Zoning Map Amendment, and Preliminary Plat for a 225-unit apartment complex Senior Planner Klatt gave an overview of the development request. The site is bounded by 145th Street and the railroad, the El Dorado business, and the Rosewood Village neighborhood. It consists of two separate parcels, which will need to be reguided from BP - Business Park and MDR – Medium Density Residential to HDR – High Density Residential and rezoned to R4 PUD - High Density Residential PUD. Mr. Klatt discussed the details of the project, including phasing, design of buildings, parking and street design, emergency vehicle access, and the leasing office/caretaker’s building. The project will need a final plat approval that will include final design of the buildings and site, and would address concerns that staff has brought to the developer. Staff has expressed concerns about the amount of parking and the accessibility of parking to the building and recommends a parking study be done after Phases 1, 2, and 3 are developed. Staff has heard concerns about traffic and has had a traffic study completed. The results show that the expected traffic volumes fall within the acceptable volumes for 145th Street. Staff is asking that there be both a left and right turn lane exiting to 145th street and the city engineer recommends additional space for queuing inside the property. Parks staff is recommending that the project pay a fee in lieu of property dedication for parks and open space. The project is planning on a playground on the site and the site is very close to Central and Erickson Park. Mr. Klatt reviewed the recommended approvals stated by the Planning Commission. Council member DeBettignies inquired about snow removal. Mr. Klatt responded that would be the HOA’s responsibility. Council member Demuth inquired about fencing near the rail spurs. The plans show decorative fencing that abuts the garages along the western side of the property.
