Chair Brown opened the public hearing to consider a comprehensive plan
amendment, rezoning, PUD/CUP, and preliminary and final plat for the Parkview Place
2nd Addition.
Planner Stockman reviewed the development plan with the Commission. Cascade
II Land Company has submitted plans for development of 32 townhomes as part of the
Albertville Crossings project. The site is located along the new portion of Lachman
Avenue NE immediately south of 57th Street and encompasses 3.99 acres.
A comprehensive plan amendment is necessary to allow the medium density
proposal within an area guided for business and low density residential development.
The property is currently zoned a combination of B-2, Limited Business and R-I, Single
Family Residential. Rezoning to R-4, Twin Home, Townhouse, Quadraminium and Low
Density Multiple Family, is required. A Conditional Use PermitIPlanned Unit
Development is also necessary to allow the subdivision of base lots into unit lots for
individual ownership oftownhome units.
The garages, as indicated on the plan, are undersized at 400 square feet. The
garages could be permitted as part of the CUP/PUD. Bill Christian, representing
Christian Builders, told the Commission that the plan presented attempted to downplay
the garages and concentrate attention on the living units.
Marly Glines and Lyle Christensen, developers of the proposed development,
explained that this development serves as a transition between the commercial and the
single family areas in the entire plat. The two story townhomes are designed as a visual
separation between the commercial and single family areas.
Chair Brown asked for comments from the public.
Dan Robertus stated he is opposed to the rezoning to multiple family. Marly
Glines stated that the developers have rezoned more property to commercial than they
are asking to rezone from commercial to R-4.
Gary Bongaarts stated he believes the garage sizes as proposed are too small for
the target market.
Bryan Carlson feels that the City already has enough multi-family units.

plat:
Commissioner Meyer indicated he sees several areas of concern with the proposed
· no separation between the driveways for each unit,
· not enough green space,
· 8 units per acre is too dense, and
· association rules should prohibit animals.
Planner Stockman explained that the proposed development meets the requirements for
open space and the proposed density is less than permitted for the R-4 zone.
Planner Stockman also asked if the Commission was satisfied with the landscape
plan submitted showing five maple trees along 57th Street rather than evergreens which
provide more screening. The Commission indicated the proposed plan is acceptable.
There were no further comments from the audience, and Chair Brown closed the
public hearing at 8:30 PM.
The Commission discussed the proposed plan. Several commissioners requested
that the plan be revised from 32 units to 24 units. The developer indicated that 24 units
was not financially feasible, although they may be able to cut the total units to 28.
Franklin made a motion to recommend the City Council deny the request for a
comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, CUPIPUD, preliminary and final plat for the
Parkview Place 2nd Addition. Meyer seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Franklin made a motion to adjourn at 8:35 PM. Budde seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
