Location: 6200 Block, Shingle Creek Parkway Description of Request: Site and Building Plan Approval BACKGROUND The applicant is seeking approval of site and building plans for a 13 storey, 122-unit apartment building which has been authorized under the FHA "236" housing program. The proposed site is a 4. 38 acre tract located in the R-7 District south of the City Hall. The participation in the housing program, which includes subsidization through tax credit, was authorized by the Council earlier this year. The project is intended to provide housing for persons with low to moderate income. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION Several discussions have been held with the applicant and the architect regarding such factors as fire safety, site layout, aesthetic quality, living environment and amenities . Correspondence from the developer (on file) indicates that a cost analysis of a fire prevention (sprinkling) system for the structure is underway; this data and consequent ` determinations are not available. Determination should be made regarding rental policies, intended rent charges, and what consideration has been given to the operation of the complex should the rental subsidy participation cease sometime in the future. The concern here is that should the subsidized status end, the building and site would be subject to all City ordinance requirements and standards. x f Application No. 72083 i For example, a concession is now recommended regarding parking, with half of the spaces to be constructed now, with the balance to be built when deemed necessary. Completion of the parking would be required = at such time that the development became disassociated with the subsidized housing program. The sidewalk around the building should be concrete; the other walkways and paths on the site may be bituminous, as indicated. An easement will be requited to permit the likely installation and 'maintenance of certain communications equipment. This is probable since the height and mass of the building will create a "shadow" hindering City broadcasting capabilities . Approval would be subject to the following conditions: 1. Utility, site, and grading plans are subject to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of building permits; 2. Complete building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Inspector prior to the issuance of building permits; 3. A performance agreement and financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted to assure approved site improvements; 4. A portion of the required parking as indicated on approved plans, may be deferred until such time as a. it is deemed necessary by the City; b. the development is disassociated from the subsidized housing program under which construction was authorized. 5 . Concrete side,,walk will be provided in the immediate vicinity of the building, including all entrances; 6. Documentation conveying an easement providing for access to and installation and maintenance of necessary communications equipment by the City shall be submitted and approved prior to the issuance of building permits. 2 c r PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION SHEET Application No. 72084 Applicant: Henry Stenquist Location: Between 66th and 67th Avenues North west of U.S. 169 Description of Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The application was reviewed in concept at the Dec. 7 meeting and tabled to allow the applicant the opportunity to submit complete plans . We will be prepared to comment further on the application. Approval would be subject to the following conditions: 1. Drainage , grading and utility plans are subject to approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of building permits; 2 . Building plans are subject to the approval of the Building Inspector with respect to applicable building codes prior to the issuance of building permits, 3.

All roadways, utilities , and street lighting shall conform to City standards set forth for public facilities, unless excepted on approved plans; 5. The ownership, management, and maintenance of all outside common areas and common facilities, including roadways , utilities, and street lighting, shall be under the jurisdiction of one Homeowners Association; 6. Home Owners Association agreements and bylaws shall be submitted to the City; shall be subject to review by the City Attorney prior to the issuance of building permits; and shall include: a.
