General Business
(8.01) Pre -application Sketch Review for 47 -unit Apartment Building to be called
Cranberry Ridge, for Properties located at 18140 —18240 Highway 55 (Beacon Interfaith
Housing Cooperative — 2017055)
Community Development Director Juetten explained a sketch plan is a nonbinding opportunity
for the Council to provide feedback for the application. He reported the proposed land is guided
commercial office and would need to be reguided to LA -4. The two easterly parcels are
presently zoned Future Restricted Development (FRD), the westerly parcel is zoned B -C, and
this site would need to be rezoned to RMF -4. He reported on the site features, parking, traffic
circulation concerns, and the parks and trails associated with the site. He stated challenges to the
site include future use and access to the three parcels to the east. When the three parcels are
redeveloped, their access to Highway 55 will be removed. Ideally, the public street and related
right-of-way would be extended through the site to its east boundary, or the developer would
incorporate the parcels into their apartment site, neither of which the developer is proposing.
However, the developer has provided conceptual potential uses for those three parcels and is
proposing to provide an access easement through the north portion of the site. Additionally, the
City requires that all dead-end public streets end with an approved turn -around, and the sketch
Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 6 Regular Meeting of June 27, 2017
plan doesn't presently reflect this as the end of 45th Avenue. There is a turn -around shown at
the east end of the apartment building, and if the City maintains and snowplows the 45th Avenue
public street segment to the site, City vehicles would need to drive into the site to turn around.
He provided the following information in response to questions from the Council:
• The current plan does not show fire lane access on all sides of the building and options
still need to be looked at.
• He is unsure if Score Sports, located to the east of the site, is still open.
• He confirmed access through the property that Culver's is located on would be difficult
because the drive-thru would cause too many conflicts.
• There could potentially be a private easement access to get access to the three parcels.
• The State cannot eliminate access to a site if there is no other access.
The Council expressed concern with access and commented they need to understand how the
remainder of the site is going to redevelop so they don't end up with unanticipated consequences.
They can't leave the three parcels undevelopable. It is a great site for LA -4, they would like to
know the potential role with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), and would like
to see this type of housing move forward because it is needed. However, the discussion at this
evening is on land use, not subsidized or affordable housing.
Rev. Amber Ingalsbe, St. Barnabas Lutheran Church, 15600 Old Rockford Road, commented
Interfaith Outreach serves many families in the community that are below poverty level, and
there is tremendous support for this project in the community. They have received $500,000
from Wayzata Community Church and $200,000 from Interfaith Outreach for this project, and
are interested in a private/public partnership.
Ann Mavity, Director of New Projects at Beacon, commented they are at early stages in design,
and they want to work with staff to determine a solution regarding access. The easterly sites are
not for sale, but they will design an access road in a way that works for the City and facilitates
access to the properties for future development. They will look for a partnership with the HRA
and request subsidies for 10 of the 47 units. They just opened a similar housing development in
Edina, had wonderful community support, and worked with the City of Edina to facilitate a
$500,000 contribution.
Ms. Mavity and John Harris, BKV Group provided the following information in response to
questions from the Council:
• Regarding the proposed private road, if the City is willing to put in the infrastructure,
they would be open to the shared cost of a public road.
• There are two potential play areas. The one located on the south side of the building will
be fully fenced and located directly adjacent to the community room space. The building
is located on the site in this way due to access to the other parcels. The site is long and
narrow, and they like having the play area on the south side.
Adopted Minutes Page 5 of 6 Regular Meeting of June 27, 2017
• They are open to discussions with the City regarding access, sidewalks, and the
turnaround. The front of the building is facing 45th Avenue, and Highway 55 is the
backyard of the building.
• This site does include underground parking and the remaining exterior parking is for
residents as well as visitors.
Community Development Director Juetten pointed out the proposed private street is not wide
enough to allow for a public street. The three parcels to the east are small, and it is unlikely they
would have a high level on traffic on the private street. These details will be looked at when an
official application is submitted. A land use change and rezoning will be required on the three
parcels.
City Attorney Knutson advised if they approved the easement, they can include protections for
the future property owners of the three easterly parcels.
The Council commented the City controls guiding and zoning, and if they provide access to the
easterly parcels in a way that works, it increases the value and opportunity for development.
Ms. Mavity invited the Council to visit the other Beacon properties to learn about their approach
to housing and to see their product and how it fits in with each community.
