AGENDA ITEM Item No.: 14 Date: July 10, 2017 Item Description: #17-3944 Westwood Professional Services o/b/o Ugorets 8098 LLC, 2520 Shadywood Road, Rezoning and Master Plan Presenter: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Agenda Planning Department Development Director Section: Report 1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to consider a rezoning and master plan for a proposed 40 unit condominium building on 3.11 acres at 2520 Shadywood Road. 2. 15.99 Deadline July 17, 2017 3. Background/ Summary. The property owner is requesting rezoning and master plan approval for proposed 40 unit condominium building on 3.11 acres generally south of the Freshwater Business Center. The building is proposed to be about 48 feet high, 4 stories plus a penthouse and developed as an RPUD (Residential Planned Unit Development). The Council may recall reviewing this project as a sketch plan in March. At that time, the project was a 49 unit apartment building. The Council had noted concerns with the height of the building. In preparation for a new submittal, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting in April, and the results of that meeting are included in Exhibit A. The number of units, density, and type of project have changed from the original submittal. The building height has not changed. There are two other buildings in town higher than 30 feet defined height, Stonebay Condominiums and Orono Woods, both multi -family buildings. In the review of those projects, the Council concluded that a three story multifamily building is difficult to achieve in less than 30 feet, due to building codes. This would appear to support 3 levels, but not a fourth. The proposed use of the property is consistent with the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan. The attached PC report outlines the project in greater detail, including the waivers necessary, which are summarized in the following table: Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: J.
