AGENDA�1 ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolution, Concept Site Plan, Option B, APPROVED BY: Review memos, Open Space calculations, PC Minutes (12-22-98). Applicant: Mark Ulfers of the Dakota County Housing&Redevelopment Authority Location: West of Biscayne Avenue, '/z mile north of 145th Street West Property Owner(s): E.B. McMenomy Area in Acres: 16.07 acres excluding west %z of Biscayne Ave. Number of Units: 46 rental townhomes (HRA with an option for 40 units); 33 for sale twin/triplex units (McMenomy) Overall Density: 4.91 dwelling units per acre -HRA- 6.13 du/acre; "Ownership" - 3.85 du/ac. Req. Land Use Desig: High Density Residential (HR) for HR.A,Urban Residential (UR) for balance of property. Current Zoning: Agriculture Requested Zoning: R-3, Medium Density Residential and R-2,Moderate Density Residential Planning Comm. Action: Recommendation of Approval (unanimous) SUMMARY This planned unit development concept has been modified as a result of the Council discussion on January�, 1999. The concept still combines rental townhomes developed by the HRA with market rate for-sale twin homes by private builders. The concept is dependent upon one of the rezoning strategies R-3 Medium Density (accompanied by a Guide Plan Amendment) and R-2,Moderate Density Residential, or rezoning to R-2 with the PUD. An option to the revised concept would reduce the number of HRA units to 40 which would be constructed in a single phase. The surrounding property has or is expected to develop in the following manner: West- The Rosemount Woods mobile home park(across the CP Railroad tracks. South- 'I'he Minn.National Guard OMS facility (1/5 mile south), vacant land immediately south guided for urban residential use(owned by MN Nat. Guard). East- 54 acre hobby farm guided for urban residential use South-east- Biscayne Pointe- 145 single family lots. North- Brockway Golf Course (across CP Railroad). The attached memo provides specific details regarding the development. PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING On December 22, 1998,the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the Guide Plan Amendment,Rezoning and PUD Concept. A neighboring husband and wife expressed concerns about the rental housing; effect on their property values; timing of related Biscayne Avenue improvements and assessments; and the potential danger of a gravel pit located in their front yard. The Planning Commission adopted a unanimous motion recommending approval of the concept after explanations were made by staff.

Residential Planned Unit Development Concept Review PROPOSAL & BACKGROUND This project combines two housing components. Dakota County HRA will develop the southern 7.5 acres of the site for 46 rental townhouses at a density of 6.13 dwelling units per acre. M & H Inc. will develop the 8.5 acres to the north for market rate townhomes, primarily twin homes with one triplex building at the northern extreme of the site. Previously, the property was the subject of a concept PUD for establishment of a cemetery of the Islamic Community of Minnesota. Consequently, the property was guided for Public / Institutional use as part of the 1993 Comp. Guide Plan Update. Financial problems caused the deal to fall through and the property was never purchased. HRA RENTAL HOUSING � The 46 rental units would be zoned R-3, Medium Density Residential and be developed at a density of 6.13 dwelling units per acre. Because of the townhouse pattern in a basically apartment zoning district, the relative density is low compared to the 12 dwelling units per acre maximum. Access occurs at Biscayne Avenue with a private driveway entrance which separates the rental townhouses from the market-rate for-sale units. Single loaded ro�v house type buildings with single tuck-under garages are arranged on both sides of a loop street which parallels the outer perimeter of the site. A central common space provides recreational amenities for the site which includes a tot-lot, hard court play area and a community building/office. The private streets scale 24 feet wide in some areas and the drive�vays are 16 feet deep which is three feet short for a parking space. The common parking provided in various locations completes the common parking requirement. The site is generally flat, and landscaping would be concentrated along the outer edges and along side of the garages as boulevard trees. Berming and plantings for screening will be placed along the western edge, along the C. P. Railroad tracks. December 22, 1998 P.C. Reviews - HRA Concept PUD Page 2. The Police Chief expressed some concern about the isolated nature of the common open space. The revised concept with the lower density responds to the concerns with expanded sight lines. The HRA has presented an"option B"which would further reduce the unit count to 40. This would facilitate a single phase for construction, and lower the HRA density to 5.3 dwelling units per acre and the overall density to about 4.5 du/ acre. M & H INC. OWNERSHIP DUPLEXES AND TRIPLEX The remaining 8.57 acres would consist of 33 dwelling units distributed in 15 duplexes and one triplex. The open space created by the rear yards of six duplexes aligns with the central open space of the HRA rental units. The streets are private and align with the HRA streets. Street standards will have to be in conformance with City engineering and fire standards for dimensions. The plan shows Connemara Avenue relocated to ensure a perpendicular railroad crossing, prior to aligning with Biscayne Avenue. Lastly, a triplex is located north of Connemara Avenue which overlooks an anticipated ponding area. The driveway connection has been relocated to Biscayne Avenue in the revised concept consistent with the staff recommendation. The topography of this area will determine whether the triplex is feasible. PROCESS The revised concept could be processed in two different ways. 1. Reguide the propery to High Density and Urban Residential, rezone to R-3 and R-2 and the development could be reviewed as a site plan review and would be consistent with the current standards. 2. Reguide the property to Urban Residential and rezone to R-2 and review the project as a PUD which would allow single car garages for the HRA portion as part of the PUD. RECOMMENDATION Motion to recommend approval of the concept planned unit development for the Dakota County HRA and M &H Inc. subject to: l. Adoption of an amendment to the Comprehensive Guide Plan for a combination of Urban Residential and High Density Residential land use, -or-Urban Residential. 2. Rezoning the property to R-2, Moderate Density Residential (north 8.5 acres and R-3, Medium Density Residential (south 7.5 acres), -or-Rezoning to R-2, Moderate Density Residential. 3. Plan revisions to achieve consistency with city engineering, fire and zoning standards for street widths, curb & gutter,turning radius and pazking. MEMO CITY OF ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Dan Rogness, Community Development Director DATE: January 14, 1999 RE: Housing Mix Analysis At the last City Council meeting (1/05/99), a question was raised regarding the impact of the proposed HRA/M&H housing project on the city's overall housing mix. The council has been concerned about the high number of multi-family units (townhomes) approved recently versus the number of single family detached units. Therefore, I am providing you the following conclusions: • The 1990 Census reveals that the housing mix for Rosemount was 74% single family and 26% multi-family. • From 1990-95, the number of single family units constructed out paced the � number of multi-family units 933-to-112 (89/11 percent). • From 1995-2000, however, the split will change quite dramatically with an estimated division of 510 single family units to 415 multi-family units (55/45 percent). • Based upon approved projects and some assumptions for other areas (Eastbridge and Kelley Trust), the number of multi-family units will remain high, at least until the year 2010. • The City Council has established a policy that the sum total of all housing units constructed from 1995-2020 should be at a 75/25 percent split between single family and multi-family housing units. These factors are shown on the attached page, which provides housing forecasts to the year 2020 by 5-year increments. This page includes the proposed 80 units for the McMenomy site along Biscayne Avenue. Conclusion: For each housing project that is reviewed by this or any future City Council, the number of single family detached units is expected to be at or above 70 percent. However, that number is cumulative rather than having to be applied to any one project. Therefore, the proposed multi-family housing units for the HRA and M&H, Inc. site will essentially keep future housing development areas at a higher ratio for single family.

Gill, Dakota County HRA ' Y1•� DATE: Janu 13 1999 � �'Y � RE: Rosemount Townhome Proposal The above referenced development was discussed at the January 5, 1999, City Council meeting and concerns were raised about the number of units and the density being proposed. In response to these concerns,we have reviewed our site plan and are suggesting two alternatives that may be acceptable to the City Council for this development. Option 1: The site plan for the southern portion of the property was revised to reduce the number of townhome units from 60 to 46. This would keep the zoning designation needed at high density but we would agree to construct no more than 46 units. If this plan(with the appropriate zoning) is approved, we would construct the units in two phases with 23 units in each phase. We prefer to construct a minimum of 25 units at one time due to the economies of scale in construction but we would agree to do 23 in each phase in order to reduce the overall site density. The site office and the play area would be constructed with the first phase. Option 2: This option would reduce the number of units from 60 to 40. This would change the necessary zoning to medium density. In order for this concept to work for us, we would need to have City Council approval to allow one garages in a medium density zoning district. If this plan(with the appropriate zoning) is approved, we would construct all of the units one time rather than in phases. Addition Information: As we discussed at the City Council meeting,the housing would be developed and managed by the Rosemount Family Housing Limited Partnership of which the Dakota County HRA is the general partner. A separate letter is attached which clarifies the long- term ownership issues related to these developments. This is a little different than how I described the ownership at the City Council;the primary difference is what happens after the initial 15 year period. "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNIT�'E�iPLOYER" � I was also asked at the meeting why this site was selected as the site we were pursuing. In working with City staff, we looked at several sites that were likely to be available to purchase for development. We were not aware of any sites that had high density zoning so any of the sites we were looking at would have needed rezoning. This site was selected in part because there is currently not a great deal of development adjacent to the site but in the future it will be near a nice residential neighborhood. We believe that our development will fit in well in the future neighborhood and that once Biscayne is improved that this will be a good location for housing. Either of the two options outlined above are acceptable to the HRA and we look forward to discussing these options with you at the January 19, 1999, City Council meeting.

The recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing and Postin� of a Public Hearing Notice on file with the City. Mr. Pearson explained the applications submitted by the Dakota County HR.A concernin� a housing proposal on property located north of the National Guard OMS site,west of Biscayne Avenue and %mile north of 145�' St. W. The HRA proposes 60 rental townhome units in the southern portion of the property,with a density of 8 du/ac. Twinhomes are proposed for the northern portion, with an approximate density of 3 du/ac, includi.n�the ponding area. The Comprehensive Guide Plan designates the property for Public/Institutional use. The proposed . amendment changes the land use designation to High Density Residential in the southem half and Urban Residential for the remainder of the property. Also requested is rezoning from Agriculture to R-3,Medium Density Residential for the proposed 60 rental townhouses and R-2, Moderate Density Residential for the twinhomes. Mr. Rogness explained this project would take the city past 200� in meeting the projections for high density housing needs. The project maintains a reasonable mix of housing and deals with the issue of affordability. Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Keri Gill,representing the HRA, explained the nature of the Family Housing Partnership Program, indicating it was created to develop affordable housing. Ms. Gill displayed pictures of existing HRA developments. Commissioners discussed issues relating to the development's close proximity to the railroad tracks and access to public transportation.
