ATTACHMENTS: CMC 103 acre site concept plan.
APPROVED BY:
On Tuesday, July 14, 1992, Mr. Delfino met with staff and presented a
concept plan for the 103 acre CMC property. This site is bounded by 145th
Street on the north, Biscayne Avenue to the East, County Road 42 to the
south and the Soo Railroad line to the west. The plan is a mixed used
development consisting of approximately 25 acres of larger lot single
family residential, 46 acres of smaller lot single family residential, 10
acres of townhomes, and 10 acres of commercial/retail. CMC has indicated
a preference to develop this site prior to the 226 acre Chicago
Northwestern site that they have an option to buy. The City Council
reviewed this concept informally in April.
It was decided by City staff and CMC to present the 103 -acre concept
informally to the Planning Commission at the meeting that evening for
their consideration and comment. Generally, the Planning Commission
recommended support for the concept feeling that the plan showed adequate
buffering and separation between the residential uses and the railroad and
industrial property. They acknowledged that the proposed commercial
component deviated some from the conclusion regarding the boundary for
commercial development decided at the Special Council meeting on June 30.
Those conclusions, however, were based on the scenario that the 226 -acre
development would occur first and this development probably would not
occur until after 2000. After thorough discussion of this issue, the
Planning Commission voted unanimously to support the mixed
residential/commercial land use concept if the developer included
pedestrian linkages from this development to the downtown.
On Tuesday, the developer will present this concept informally to both the
City Council and the Port Authority. They are requesting feedback on the
overall concept prior to making formal application for the project. This
property is currently zoned industrial and is located in the Downtown
redevelopment (TIF) district. I will be available to address the land use
and zoning questions. Mr. John Miller or Mr. Steve Jilk can address tax
increment related issues.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action is required on the 103 acre site.
