City of <br /> Elk -�— <br /> River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> January 11,2016 <br /> VIA EMAIL: jesse@modemconstructionmn.com <br /> Jesse Hartung <br /> Modern Construction of Minnesota <br /> 621 Main Street NW <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> RE: Comment Letter, <br /> Conditional Use Permit—Ecology PUD <br /> Dear Mr.Jesse Hartung, <br /> Staff conducted a review of submitted materials and plans on January 6,2016. The following <br /> comments and recommendations are intended to bring the project in line with current city <br /> requirements and should be addressed on future plans. <br /> 1. Parking requirements have not been satisfied. Ordinance requires 2.5 parking stalls per <br /> apartment unit and one stall per 200 square feet of commercial space (varies based on <br /> permitted use). Per ordinance,this building requires 230 spaces for the residential uses and <br /> approximately (depending on final use) 45 spaces for the commercial uses, for a total of 275. <br /> Submitted plans identify 154 underground spaces and 22 surface spaces for a total of 176. <br /> Plans also identify on-street parking spaces to count towards the parking standards. Per <br /> previous discussions, on-street parking can count towards a portion of the commercial <br /> requirements. <br /> a. Parking requirements can be negotiated through the PUD process,but staff <br /> maintains their position that residential parking cannot be significantly reduced <br /> without impacting public services. <br /> 2. The current project limits extend beyond existing property lines. Before agreements are <br /> recorded building permits are issued the property lines will need to be updated appropriately. <br /> 3. Please submit a landscape plan. <br /> 4. Building and parking setbacks do not meet city ordinances.These deviations will be noted <br /> during the PUD review process and will need to be approved as part of the PUD agreement. <br /> Phone: 763.635.1000 rIVEREll Fax: 763.635.1090 B Y <br /> www.ci.elk-river.mn.us NATURE <br />
