MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Cou~ncil <br /> <br />Michele McPherso ,~, Director of Planning <br /> <br />DATE: July I S, 2002 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Elk River Station Update <br /> <br />Item 6.16. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Location map <br />· Revised Elk River Station, Concept Plan <br />· Original Elk River Station <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The Elk River Station developers, Len Pratt and John Peterson have revised their <br />development team to include Westwood Engineering and Centex Homes. As was discussed <br />at the May 28, 2002 City Council meeting, the revised proposal includes a reduction in the <br />number of residential dwelling units from 399 to 294. The primary cause of the reduction in <br />the number of dwelling units is due to the elimination of three of the four 50-unit apartment <br />buildings. These have been replaced by row townhomes. <br /> <br />The City Council in August of 2001 granted land use approvals to bring the property into <br />the Urban Service District and to change the land use from Light Industrial and Low <br />Density Residential to Community Commercial and Medium Density Residential. The <br />preliminary plat, zone change, and conditional use permit were tabled until an environmental <br />assessment worksheet could be completed. <br /> <br />Staff requires direction from the City Coundl in regard to whether or not this item should be <br />removed from the table and sent back to the Planning Commission for review, or if the <br />Council is willing to act on the revised proposal without Planning Commission <br />consideration. If the first option is preferred, staff recommends that the City Council remove the three <br />land-use requests from the table and direct them back to the Planning Commission for consideration. <br /> <br />S:Planning/MichMc/REQERSTA.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
