MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,August 14,2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 10. #17-3948 APEX HOLDINGS,LLC,2635 KELLEY PARKWAY CUP SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT,COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT,REZONING AND PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN,FINAL PLAT—Continued Gori stated it was brought up in a discussion with City Staff. Barnhart stated it is not uncommon to have a limit on the number of residential units due to the infrastructure in the ground,which is probably where it came from. Walsh stated if that number is based on current capacity,it would be good to know a specific number in order to maximize the density. Barnhart indicated he will look into that. Barnhart stated every use buys a certain amount of capacity through SAC units and that the applicant may need to purchase more SAC units. Barnhart stated the other side of the equation is the density,which are the 48 units that would be counted towards the density. Walsh asked if they are using the SAC charges that would have been charged to the office building. Barnhart stated it is likely the proposed building would need to pay more SAC units. Walsh stated the City Council will need to know that number. Barnhart indicated he is looking for direction from the City Council on whether they support the proposal generally. Barnhart stated the applicant should then submit a revised plan showing the memory care meeting the density requirements and that Staff will look into the SAC charges. Walsh stated one of the other items recommended is the addition of another curb cut,which makes sense. Walsh asked why the hardcover is at 63 percent. Walsh asked if the building pad and parking accounts for the majority of that. Walsh commented Staff did not seem to have a problem with that based on the use. Barnhart stated he does not have a problem with the 63 percent and that there is not wall to wall pavement. Barnhart stated there is some green space proposed,but the fact that it is an RPUD means there is a 50 percent hardcover limit. Walsh stated the 63 percent hardcover allows the developer to increase the building pad. Walsh stated he would not be opposed to the patio areas for the residents being included to get to the 11 percent. It was the consensus of the City Council to include those private recreational areas in the calculation. Printup asked where Hennepin County wants to construct the trail along Old Highway 12. Barnhart stated to his understanding the plans have not been finalized but that it will either be on the north side of Wayzata Boulevard or per the original Stonebay development agreement.
