Petitioner and the Commission discussed the impacts of area F-3. It was suggested that
more green area be provided to form a better transition to the neighboring uses;
With respect to areas J-2 and A-17 and A -18a, the Commissioners decided to "walk"
the site in order to better be able to judge the external impacts of these areas upon
the surrounding neighborhoods.
As 'to access to County Road 9, :oncern was expressed for the street access along withthetwoprivatedriveaccessestotheroad. Staff indicated that this portion of
County Road 9 would become a more local street as opposed to remaining a substantial
thoroughfare in the future. Also, with respect to the alignment of County Road 61,
it was a concern of the Commission that the final alignment of County Road 61 would
affect the location of the density in Area II of the project.: The Commission. stated
that it would be more appropriate to provide the green space closer to the thoroughfare
as a transition to the road between the dwelling units and County Road 61.
As to the outlots, it was discussed and tentatively determined that Outlot K would
eventually be deeded to Hennepin County which already has an option on such land)
while Outl'ots C and I would be incorporated into the surrounding lots of rental type
projects that adjoin in each case.
Petitioner stated that with respect to the size of and services to the 107 units
of elderly high rise, they were planning a small amount of retailon the lower floor
of the building and that they had communicated with the MTC with respect to bus
service to and from the building. The MTC indicated that as soon as service was
necessary, it would be provided by Medicine Lake Lines.
The Commission discussed the dispersal of the 65 Section 8 "family" units at length.
The pros and cons of mixing the subsidized units with the other units were discussed.
Petitoiner noted to the Commission that it was necessary for them to apply for the
subsid zed units along with the rest of the units to the government agencius.
Chaiinin Kroskin asked petitioner how this present RPUD proposal compared with the
origina; Proposal prior to Hennepin County pruchasing such a large portion of the site.
RogerClemence, consultant for petitioner, stated that the project had been somewhat
inverted in terms of density. The higher density was towards the center of the site
befcra and now tends towards the extremities of the site. As far as unit tyeps, basic
intentions of providing for elderly housing, design, etc., the project is nearlyideYitical.
