Memo to Mayor & City Council/CO 04-05 April 19, 2004 Page 2 · Memo from the City Engineer · Concept Plan Elk River Station Overview The applicant is proposing to construct a 65 unit senior housing cooperative. The project will include 65 parking spaces in an underground parking lot. A senior housing complex was approved on this site as part of the conditional use permit approved for the Elk River Station PUD. The general configuration of the building and layout of the site is consistent with the concept plan. However, the building is smaller and the layout has been modified to accommodate on-site stormwater pending. Site Design The site is bounded by public streets on the north and south sides, a private street that provides access to townhouses on the east side of the site and a future commercial/office complex on the west side. There will be a private access drive that will provide access to this site, along the south property line. A 32 space parking lot and drop off lane are located in front of the building. Two stormwater ponds are also located on the site, one in the southeast corner and one in the northeast corner. The entrance to the under ground parking is on the north end of the building and the exit is on the south end. Building Elevations The building is proposed to be a three story modified L-shaped structure with underground parking. A patio area is located at the southeast corner of the building over looking one of the stormwater ponds. No direct outside access to the patio area will be provided; access to the patio will be through the lobby area. The co-op will be a mix of one and two bedroom owner occupied units. None of the units will have direct access from the outside. Each unit will have it's own deck. Exterior materials will be a mix of cultured stoned, vertical vinyl beadboard siding, shingle vinyl siding and horizontal vinyl lap siding. Analysis Site plan Parking and Access Access for the site is provided via a private street which is located in front of the building and connects 171~ and 172nd Avenues. The drive is 25 feet wide, which is sufficient for two way traffic. The spaces and drive aisle in the 32 space parking lot in front of the building comply with the dimensional requirements of the zoning code. The loop drive aisle in front of the entrance will have to be signed "no parking" so that emergency access can be maintained. All parking areas and drive aisles will include concrete curb and gutter. The intersections of the private drive and 171~ and 172nd Avenues line up with the existing driveways serving the townhouse development.
