That was the bottom line when the Plymouth Planning Commission met Wednesday to consider Long Lake-based Roers’ proposal for a 120-unit senior apartment building and 21 villa-style single-family homes on a 9.5-acre site northwest of the Medina Road and County Road 101 intersection. They expressed concerns about access, parking, stormwater management and the significant increase in density that would come with the project. “You add all these together and they just scream too much density,” said David Witte, chair of the planning commission. “Too high, too big, too much density, and I would not recommend it.” Roers was seeking feedback from the planning commission on a sketch plan, not an up or down vote to recommend the project to the City Council. But commission members made clear they would have a hard time agreeing to the increased density if Roers submits a formal proposal. That increase in density would require an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan, which currently guides the site for less-intense residential use. Jeff Koch, principal planner at Roers, said the company looked for another site within Plymouth that met the project’s needs and couldn’t find it. “You conducted a housing study in April of 2018 that identified a need of over 500 senior living units just to support the need of your aging population within the city of Plymouth. What you have right now is a community with no high-density zoning available to provide that need,” Koch said to the planning commission. He acknowledged that the project got “a lot of pushback” at a recent community meeting. But he tried to make the case that the location — near the intersection of two arterial roads — was appropriate for higher density development, adding that Plymouth “desperately needs” senior housing. Page 15 “If this project isn’t approved, how long can you keep kicking the can down the road?” he asked. Five residents spoke during the public comment period of the meeting, and several of them shared concerns about stormwater runoff from the site, noting water levels in nearby ponds are already high. Karen Parks, owner of the Parks’ Place memory care facility adjacent to the site, said the plan lacked a real transition between the three- to four-story senior apartment building and neighboring properties. “All the other properties in the area are one story,” Parks said. “Having a three- and four-story building will look out of proportion to everything else in the area.” The planning commission voted to forward notes from their conversation to the Plymouth City Council. Roers is in talks with Plymouth-based Charles Cudd Homes to construct the villa-style homes if the project goes forward, according to planning documents. The senior apartments, which would include both independent and assisted living units, would be operated by Minneapolis-based Walker Methodist under the Havenwood brand. Koch said Roers has developed five Havenwood senior living facilities in the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. The site consists of two properties, neither of which is currently owned by Roers. The southern parcel has an assessed market value of $477,500 for tax purposes, according to Hennepin County records. The larger northern parcel is assessed at $1.34 million. Page 16 Ohio med-tech startup led by former NxThera CEO to move to Plymouth By Alex Wittenberg – Staff writer, Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal May 17, 2019, 3:13pm EDT VentureMed Group Inc., a company that develops medical devices to treat vascular problems, will move its offices to Plymouth, Minn., this year. The Toledo, Ohio-based company made the announcement Thursday. Founded in 2012, VentureMed makes a system that prepares peripheral, or below-the-waist, blood vessels for treatment by slicing away blockage, usually plaque, through tiny incisions. The process loosens the vessel and readies it for a fistula or graft, treating patients suffering from peripheral artery disease and other conditions. The company in 2017 raised a $15 million Series B round led by Geneva-based Endeavour Vision and St. Louis, Mo.-based RiverVest Venture Partners. It's in the process of raising its next financing round to fund business expansion, VentureMed CEO Bob Paulson said in an interview Friday. "When I had the opportunity to take a look at the growth and needs of VentureMed Group, I saw the best place to access the depth of biotech ... would come from Minneapolis," he said. Paulson is the former CEO of NxThera Inc., a Maple Grove, Minn.-based med-tech company that was sold to Boston Scientific Corp. in March 2018 in a deal worth up to about $400 million. VentureMed's 6,000-square-foot Plymouth office will be located at 2800 Campus Drive and have 20 to 25 employees, Paulson said. The company expects to complete its relocation over the next three months. The company is currently based at the ProMedica Innovations Center, a med-tech incubator whose medical director, John Pigott, founded VentureMed. Page 17
