Adding Q..h ytoLife From: Steve Juetten, Community Development Director
Memorandum Date: June 9, 2015
Item: Discuss Juneau Lane Property
Over the past several months, staff has been meeting with representatives from Ron Clark Construction
Design on their possible interest in developing a number of the properties located west of Juneau
Lane, south of Trillium Woods. They would propose to construct a detached empty nester product.
From these meetings, it has become increasingly clear that this property is unique and will be
complicated to develop.
Based on the uniqueness of the property, development related exceptions may be necessary for a
project to move forward. The items that have been identified for further discussion with the City
Council are listed below and will be further illustrated by representatives from the development team.
Comprehensive plan amendment to re -guide much of the property from LA -RT to a land use
that allows greater density (approximately 6.8 acres of the total 18 acres of upland is currently
guided LA -R2). Ultimately a "blending" of land use designations may be necessary.
Sanitary sewer
o Gravity flow to the west (will require easements through adjacent property that is not
part of the land area). This would require a sanitary sewer comprehensive plan
amendment.
o Lift station to direct sewer to the north.
Planned unit development zoning
o Private drives for single family homes
o Construction within a bluff area
o Front yard setback reductions to allow decks and porches
o Increase in impervious surface coverage
Trunk utility fee reduction due to extra costs related to topography and location.
Amount of grading and tree loss
The developer is looking for City Council direction so they can better determine their costs and
challenges if they choose to move forward with a development proposal.

Plymouth Mayor and City Councilmembers: Workshop 6.9.15:
Proposal:
Gar}' 1liedin and Larn' Aui3uchon with Edina Realty have assisted sib: ()wners of adjacent land parcels alt)ng
Juneau Lane North south cifCo.Rd.47 for a tenni ofjust over 27 acres.
lion Clark Construction is proposing 42 Detached Townhomes tae -t eting the I-rnp€y-nester market,
The a majoritj, of the propem is guided for LA -RT (11-1 du/ac), as well as portion,,, that are LA -R2(2-4
du/ac).
Challenges:
ft )pography: the site rises ovcr 80 feet From east to west.
Wetland setbacks: current delineaticsn anis preliminary quality determination requires 75' buffers and
15' building setbacks.
Sanitary sewer: service to this site is not currcnth• available and extremeh` difficult to determine :ua
economic solution.
Opportunities:
Six individual property owners in agreement at this current time.
Address a housing market that is currently underserved in the faith of Plymouth.
A housing design solution with a land plan that adapts to the site's challenges yet maximizes the site.
Create a development value that can justifi- the extraordinati. development costs.
A density transition from 'Trillium Woods to the existing single funily homes.
To complement the City's Greeriway goals and expand the adjacent park land.
Consideration:
Denst-tt-: it appears that the total units are higher that what is currently allowcd.
Public/private streets: there is a combination of public anal private streets propc)sed.
Shoreland overlay: impacts a majority of the site.
Sanitary seNver: challenges to service the propem- with Citi' sewer.
A site this physically challenging requires a creative hc)using desifna and lane{ plan solution to produce the
market value necessary to absorb the high development costs. The land assemble size is also necessary to
produce the: number of units to achieve critical mass. Ron Clark Construction has the qualifications and
experience to take on this; challenge.
Thank you for Your consideration.
