MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution 2020-029 approving the subdivision of Lot 1 Block 2 into two new single-family lots and a Minor PUD amendment bringing the new parcels into the Towne Lakes PUD and HOA MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution 2020-030 approving the Vacation of an easement in Lot 1, Block 5, Towne Lakes addition BACKGROUND: This item was tabled at the November 2, 2020, City Council meeting. Lot 1 Block 5 Towne Lakes Addition was originally platted to contain the sales office for the Towne Lake Subdivision, with the intent that this lot would be subdivided once the sales office was no longer needed. The lot owner Peter Scherer wishes to divide the lot into two single family lots consistent with the balance of the Towne Lake neighborhood. To accommodate the property owner's request the following approvals are needed. • Vacation of an existing utility easement that extends into the Lot 1 Block 5 Towne Lakes Addition. • Approval of the minor subdivision dividing the lot into two single family lots. • Approval of the PUD amendment requiring the new lot to be part of the Town Lake PUD and HOA and governed by the terms and conditions of the HOA and PUD agreements. • Modification of the original Towne Lakes Developer's agreement which slated this lot for use as a community center and required that it be deeded to the HOA. Lot 1, Block 5 currently contains a parking lot that holds 8 cars. It is not clear why that parking lot was built (perhaps for the sales office that was originally supposed to be constructed on the lot?). For a number of years now it has been used as the unofficial parking lot for the park located across the street. With the subdivision of this lot, that parking lot will be removed so that a single family home can be built on the north half of the lot. The Towne Lakes I" Addition developer's agreement did not require a parking lot to be constructed in the park, but instead called for a parking lot, tennis court, volleyball court, and/or additional playground equipment to be installed in the park in the future if requested by the homeowners pursuant to a survey of the HOA's residents that would be taken after 100 homes Mayor and Council Request for Action — November 16, 2020 Towne Lakes Lot 1 Block 5 Lot Split Page 2 of 3 had been constructed. If the residents wanted any of these amenities, the HOA and the Developer would each pay half of the cost of such amenities. About the time the survey should have been taken, the Developer became insolvent and went out of business. The HOA has confirmed that the survey was never taken, and no parking lot has ever been built in the park. The HOA has indicated that it is not in favor of the construction of a parking lot in the park. KEY ISSUES: City Staff recommend approval of the Easement Vacation as described in Exhibit E. This easement does not contain any municipal utilities and no longer holds any public purpose. • The proposed new lots will have the following lot area and width dimensions. Lot Area Lot Width North Lot 13,375 sq. ft. 107 feet South Lot 22,600 sq. ft. 110 feet Both of the new lots exceed the minimum lot areas and widths within the Towne Lake PUD. • A condition of subdivision approval will be the dedication of a ten foot drainage and utility easement centered over the shared lot line of the two new lots. • The lots will be required to become members of the Towne Lakes HOA and abide by the HOA rules and standards pertaining to house design and setbacks. • The survey shows the house locations meet the Towne Lakes PUD setbacks. • Lot 1 Block 5 Towne Lakes addition contains an existing accessory building in its southeast corner serving as an entrance monument for the neighborhood. This community amenity must be placed in an easement that runs to the Towne Lake HOA to allow its continued location and insure its long-term maintenance by the HOA. • The Amendment to the Developer's Agreement removes the requirement that the lot be used as a community center, removes the requirement that it be deeded to the HOA, brings the lots under the same use restrictions as the other lots in the first addition, and preserves an easement for the maintenance of the existing accessory building by the HOA. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Albertville Subdivision ordinance allows for an administrative subdivision for dividing an existing lot of record into two lots. This application is coming before the City Council due to the need to vacate an easement within the lot split and the need to bring the newly created lots into the Towne Lakes PUD and HOA. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The new lots must be included in the Towne Lakes PUD and HOA for uniform application of the zoning and architectural standards, be relieved of the obligation to construct a community center Mayor and Council Request for Action — November 16, 2020 Towne Lakes Lot 1 Block 5 Lot Split Page 3 of 3 on Lot 1, and bring the lot under same use restrictions as all of the other lots in the lst Addition of Town Lakes.

Since the October meeting they have revised the concept plan in response to the comments in the planning report and have increased the lot depth to provide a minimum lot area of 6000. The request that the Council provide feedback on the revised concept plan. BACKGROUND: The background on this concept is outlined in the attached October 9, 2020, planning report and exhibits. The concept was presented to the Planning Commission on October 13, 2020, for discussion. In reviewing a concept plan, no development approvals are given only opinions are offered as to whether the project should proceed to a formal development application. Upon presentation and discussion by the Planning Commission, they offered the opinion that the proposed single-family rental concept was interesting and may be appropriate within the City. The Planning Commission did agree with the Planning Report concerns with lot sizes and the potential of future conversion from rental to individual lot ownership. Upon review, the Planning Commission was supportive of the concept under a combination of options 2 and 3 of the planning report. The Planning Commission also stated that the developer must solicit City Council feedback to determine if they shared the similar opinion on the concept before proceeding. At the City Council's October meeting, the Council was divided in their opinion of the project. The applicant has revised the concept plan to address the design concerns outlined in the October 9, 2020 Planning Report and increased the minimum lot area to 6000 sq. ft. by increasing the lot depth. The lot count remains at 70 lots and the lot width remains a 50-foot minimum. The applicant has also agreed with the land use restrictions outlined in Option 2 of the October 9, 2020 Planning Report. The Council is asked to provide feedback on the proposed revised Concept Plan. Mayor and Council Communication — November 16, 2020 Gonyea/Watermark Concept Plan Page 2 of 3 KEY ISSUES: • The Concept plan proposes to construct 70 lots of single family rental units which will be owned, managed and maintained by one company. • The Tribune article outlines that this is a new residential concept, has been viewed favorably in cities of Maple Grove, Woodbury and Plymouth. • The websites of these other single family rental neighborhoods indicate rent ranges of $2,750 to $4,494 a month. • These single family rentals are attractive to households seeking no maintenance housing options. • See the Report exhibits to examine the proposed housing products. The model homes show quality design and construction with high end interior finishes and appliances. • The proposed development site is currently zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District with a minimum lot area of 12,500 sq. ft. and lot width of 90 feet. • The Concept plan is proposing a minimum lot area of 6000 sq. ft. and minimum lot width of 50 feet. This lot size would require a PUD zoning district. • The Psyk property is 39.05 acres gross area and only 21 acres buildable. • Wetlands on the property isolate the site from surrounding neighborhoods. • Platted into individual lots allows the potential resale into individual home ownership which will affect the use and function of the lots. • Narrow lots present concerns for curb cut widths, location, on -street parking and snow storage. • The smaller lots present concerns for usable yard space. The applicant has removed the wetland buffer, storm water ponds or required landscape buffer along 50th Street and deepen the lots to provide a minimum of 6000 sq. ft. of usable lot area. The smaller lots raise concerns regarding lot area for patios, deck, play space, sheds, etc. The applicant is open to having PUD District restrictions on outdoor storage, sheds and fences on this subdivision. The will be required to illustrate the size and location of potential decks or patios. • The small lots will have a lot hard cover ranging between 40% and 50%. • The 70 lot subdivision shows a single access point onto 501h Street. • The concept plan will have slab on grade and walk -out options. The lack of basement and the size of the housing units present concerns for interior building storage and storm protection. • The City requires single family homes to have a minimum garage size of 530 sq. ft. (22' x 24'). The Model homes garages range in size from 423 sq. ft. to 480 sq. ft. If the model homes do not have interior storage space (Basement or closet areas) the garages must be larger to address storage needs. • If the homes are sold individually, Staff has raised concern regarding outdoor storage, detached accessory buildings, and fences that are common requests in the City's existing residential neighborhoods. • The Concept plan shows a private community area/ building the applicant must provide details as to what this will include. Mayor and Council Communication — November 16, 2020 Gonyea/Watermark Concept Plan Page 3 of 3 POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Concept plan allows a developer to solicit City feedback on a project before investing in formal plans, plats or applications. Concept plan review does not grant any development approvals. If this project precedes the developer will need a change in zoning to PUD district, Preliminary and Final plat. The Planning Commission expressed interest in the single family rental concept and directed the developer to precede under a combination of options 2 and 3 of the October 9, 2020 planning report. The Planning Commission also directed the developer to solicit City Council feedback before proceeding. Per the October 9 planning report the Council has the following options: Option 1 No change in the current R-1 zoning. Option 2 Move ahead with the 50 wide lot concept plan with conditions. Option 3 Move ahead with the single family rental concept by increase the minimum lot size to 60 foot lot width and 120 foot lot depths. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: None Department/Responsible Person: Alan Brixius/Planning Submitted Through: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator-PWD Attachments: October 9, 2020 Planning Report and exhibits November 11, 2020 Revised Concept Plan 5540 NOP.,TNWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANT1, INC, 4150 Olson Memorial Highway, Telephone: 763.957.1100 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: NAC FILE NO: Background: Adam Nafstad Alan Brixius / Daniel Elder October 9, 2020 Ste. 320, Golden Valley, MN Website: www.nacplanning.com Albertville — Gonyea / Watermark Single Family Concept Plan 163.06 20.05 Tom Gonyea and Watermark Properties have approached the City with new land use concept involving the creation of a subdivision of all single family rental units that would be under the ownership and management of one company. The applicant is seeking feedback for their proposal to construct 70 single-family homes on 39.05 acres. Said site is located on 50 St NE, just west of Main Ave and North of the Middle School. The concept plan is for single-family rental housing for the entirety of the site. The future subdivision would be entirely owned and managed by a single entity. Watermark properties have brought this concept to several metro area communities (Maple Grove, Plymouth, Woodbury, and Inver Grove Heights), as seen from the Star Tribune article (Exhibit Q. As mentioned in the article, the concept revolves around a maintenance -free lifestyle with privacy for suburban living with resort amenities such as pools, clubhouses, dog parks, and fitness trails. The property is zoned R-1, Single family district. This single family rental concept consists of a dense development pattern with individuals lots have widths of 50 feet. The proposed development pattern varies significantly from the current R-1 district in density and lot size. The City does not have a base zoning district with a lot size that would allow the lot sizes being requested, as such, if this project is to proceed the developers would be seeking a PUD zoning district and plat. Gonyea/Watermark is presenting the design concept to Planning Commission to receive feedback on the proposal to determine if this development concept is acceptable to the City before moving forward with a more detailed development application. EXHIBITS: Exhibit A — Existing Conditions Exhibit B — Design Concept Site Plan Exhibit C — Floor Model Designs Exhibit D - Color Renderings of Model Homes Exhibit E — Star Tribune Article ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Comprehensive Plan. The Albertville Vision Study has designated the subject site for Low -Density Residential, designed for between 1-4 units an acre. The development concept would place 70 units on approximately 19 acres of developable land for a density of 3.27 units per acres, which would follow the vision of the comprehensive plan. The following goals are relevant to the project: Residential Goal 2: Provide a variety of housing options to meet the life cycle needs of Albertville residents. Policies: 4. Adhere to the highest community design and construction standards for new construction and redevelopment projects. 5. Accompany medium and high -density development with adequate accessory amenities such as garages, parking, open space, landscaping, and recreational facilities to insure a safe, functional, and desirable living environment. Comment: In review of this concept, the single-family homes do allow residents access to greater amenities such as the garages, club site, and property maintenance. Pace of Growth. Goal 1: Manage growth that provides quality development and does not fiscally burden the community. Policies: 1. Infill development of existing platted residential lots with homes that share the same quality and value of adjoining homes. 4 2. The City will be patient with the development of the remaining larger undeveloped tracts of residentially zoned land. With a limited supply of residential zoned land, the City can wait for a preferred development. The City will need to decide if the concept is a preferred development for the parcel in question. This is one of the last large undeveloped tracts in the City and will need to determine if this project warrants a change from the current R-1 single family zoning district. I. Rental vs Ownership: While the housing tenure is not regulated by zoning; it does come into play with this development concept. The entire small lot subdivision under single ownership and management that provides uniform private enforcement of lease rules, property management and maintenance functions differently than a plat with individual lot ownership. In the proposed concept plan the issues of operation and enforcement falls to the management company. The concept plan proposes to plat the lots into individual lots; this will allow for the potential resale for private ownership. With this potential, City Staff raises concerns with the proposed lot sizes and how individual single family lots are used within the City. The proposed 50 wide lots would be the smaller than the single family lots in the Towne Lakes PUD. In evaluating the proposed concept the City must consider how the plat may function as both rental units and as individually owned lots. Rent Ranges. Based upon the websites of existing similar projects by the developer the rents range in price from $2,750 to $4,494 a month. According to the 2018 American Community Survey, around 95% of Albertville homeowners have a mortgage payment pay less than $3,000 a month with the median mortgage payment of $1,800 a month. According to the 2018 American Community Survey there are an estimated 616 Albertville households renting, Only 24 of those households pays an estimated rent between $2,000 - $2,400. The census statistics raise issue as to the market of the proposed rent ranges in Albertville. Existing Conditions. The proposed development site is a vacant site consisting roughly of 39.05 gross acres, with the northern and western portions of the property consisting of wetlands. The wetlands approximately 18.04 acres of the parcel, limiting the developable area to the remaining 21.01 acres of buildable land. The wetlands, development pattern to the east and 50t" Street isolates the site from surrounding land uses and limits the site access to 50th Street. The physical barriers that isolate this site, would allow a change in land use without negatively impacting adjoining uses. The following table shows the surrounding zoning and land uses. 3 Direction Zoning Use North R-1 Single -Family East R-1 / PI Single -Family, Church West R-1 / PI Vacant Single -Family, Water Plant South PI Middle School, County Road 18 Lot Requirements. The lot sizes of the R-1 district and the Towne Lakes PUD are provided below as a comparison to the proposed concept plan. The Towne Lakes PUD represents the smallest single family lots approved within the city to date and provides standard of comparison for the planning commission. Requirement Proposed R1 Requirement Townes Lakes Lot Area 5,000 sq. ft. 12,500 sq. ft. 7,500 sq. ft. Lot Width 50 feet 90 feet 60 feet Lot Coverage Unknown 25% 30-40% The proposed concept plan lots do not meet the lot requirements standards for lot area and lot width for any of Albertville's base residential zoning districts. The proposed lot areas are less than half of the required area of the current R-1 district requirements at 12,500 feet and width of 90 feet. As proposed, the site would need to be rezoned to a PUD zoning district; to accommodate the proposed lot sizes. In review of the concept plan's requested lot sizes staff raises the following concerns. 1. The lots are smaller than the City's past approved small lot single family subdivision, Towne Lakes. The lot widths of 50 feet present concerns related to side yard separations between homes and garage domination of the building front. The narrow lot widths present concern for curb cut separations onto public streets which limit available on -street parking and snow storage. 2. Albertville's zoning code requires that all lots must contain buildable land equal to at least eighty percent of the required minimum lot areas. Buildable land area is defined as lot area not encumbered with drainage ponds, wetlands, pipeline easements or overhead transmission line easements. This code requirement is intended to insure proper usable land area for each residential dwelling. In review of the concept plan Lots 8 - 40 have a wetlands extending into their rear yards reducing the buildable lot area below 5000 sq. ft. Lots 49 — 53 contain a storm water pond that reduces the buildable lot area below 5000 sq. ft. If the concept plan proceeds to preliminary plat the City will require the wetlands, wetland buffer areas and storm water ponds to be platted as outlots and dedicated to the City to prevent disruption of these areas. The smaller lots present issues for usable rear yards. 3. The concept plan shows a number of triangular shaped lots that narrow the rear yards. This presents concerns for usable rear yard space, accessory buildings, and fences. 4 These issues may not be concern when all lots are rental and under single ownership and management, however, they are problematic with individual lot sales and ownership. 4. 50th Street is a major collector street within the city. The Subdivision code require the lots backing onto a major collector street to provide additional lot depth to accommodate a landscaped buffer yard to screen the rear yards of these lots from collector street traffic. These buffer yards reduce the usable rear yard area. 5. The lots along the east cul-de-sac fall below the 5000 sq. ft. lot area and are less than 50 feet wide at the setback line. This plat design also has the side yard of the concept lots abutting the rear lots of the existing homes along Main Avenue. This design is unacceptable, the City will require the plat to be designed with a shorter cul-de-sac and have new lots backing up to the existing lot to afforded a greater setback between new home and existing homes. Setbacks. The subject site is zoned R-1, Single Family Residence. The following minimum setback requirements are imposed: Yard Proposed Concept Plan R-1 Required Compliant Front 30 feet 30 feet Yes Side interior 5 feet 10 feet No Side corner 20 feet 20 feet Yes Rear 25 feet 25 feet Yes Lot Coverage. The small lots lead to concerns about lot coverage with the requirement in R-1 set at 25%. Exhibit C shows the units would range from 1,513 sq. ft. to 2,038 sq. ft. Depending on the driveways' size; this puts the estimated lot coverage on a 5000 sq. ft. lot between a range of 40% to 50%. Wetlands Around half of the site is a wetland, which isolates this development site from the properties to the north and south and as a wetland and influences the site design. The City will require the Wetland and wetland buffers to be platted as outlots to a avoid disruption of these protected areas. As it is shown now, the wetland buffer is within the platted lots. This has created issues with the preservation or and maintenance of the wetland buffer in the past. Homeowners tend to mow their property to expand the usable yard if they own the easement. Access Issues. The concept plan proposes to have a single access off of 50th St NE, a County road. Any plat abutting a County road is subject to County review. Additionally, the location and design of any street access to a County road is subject to County approval. 5 The Albertville Subdivision Code requires plats with more than twenty five (25) units on local streets and no more than fifty (50) units on minor collector streets may be developed within a single plat without providing a second street access into/out of the subdivision. The site in question has access issues due to the wetland and the surrounding to site on its north and west boundaries. The size and location of these wetlands limit the potential street extension in these directions. The development will have to consider either a second access point along 50th St NE. Model Homes. Watermark has provided house models named modern farmhouse, farmhouse, and northern craftsman. _ Model Modern Farmhouse Farmhouse North Craftsman Min Floor Area Min Garage (2 bed 960, 3 bed 1,040 sq.ft.) Size (480 sq.ft.) 1,513-2,173 sq.ft. 1423438 sq.ft. In review of the models we offer the following comments. 1. Each of the aforementioned models meets the city requirements for floor space for single family homes. 2. Each of these models has five different elevation floor plans, each with variations on the design. Each of the designs is similar on the inside floor plan but has a different facade on the outside. The exterior finishes are high quality and attractive. 3. Some of the plans offer additional options, such as a finished basement. The developer has not indicated if all the homes will have basements. This must be identifies to address concerns related to interior building storage and storm protection. 4. Section 1000.4.13.2.a of the Albertville Zoning District requires a minimum garage size for a single family home to be 530 sq. ft. (24' x 22'). The proposed models do not meet this minimum garage size requirement. The minimum garage size is intended to provide needed storage for vehicles, trash containers, recreational equipment and other ancillary household items typical in a single-family home. Without adequate interior storage area residents move their storage to the garage and resulting in vehicle parking outside the garage... 5. The models can be seen in Exhibits C & D. The concept plan mentions the possible addition of a "Hog Den and Fonzi Flat" these are deemed to be accessory dwelling units and would be prohibited. 6. The models must show outdoor decks and /or patios to illustrate how these outdoor features will be located on the lots. 6 Outdoor Storage. The City has problems enforcing outside storage regulations on residential lots within the City. The proposed smaller lot size present concerns for outside storage in that they do not provide area and /or locations to meet the City code outdoor storage requirements. This may not be a problem as rental properties and controlled under single ownership and management, however, if the lots are sold and individually owned we will have issues similar to other areas of the city. If this concept would proceed to PUD and plat, the City will create a new zoning district for the plat that will have prohibitions on the following items reflective of the small lots. As part of the zoning district these would be enforceable by the City. Additionally, if the developer chose to sell the individual lots, the City will require that a Homeowners Association be created to assist in enforcing the subdivision rules and address the management of common areas. 1. No outdoor storage 2. No detached accessory buildings. 3. No Fences Open Space and Park Dedication.. The concept includes a site in the middle of the concept plan intended for a future club site. Half of the club site contains a storm water pond. If this project proceeds a detail development plan will be required for the club site. The City does not give park dedication credits for private recreational facilities. As such, the applicant will be required to pay a cash fee in lieu of land to satisfy park dedication requirements. Park dedication fees are to be paid at the time of the final plat. CONCLUSION: The concept plan review does not convey any property rights or zoning approvals. The Applicants have submitted a concept plan for this new residential concept to solicit feedback from the Planning commission and City Council to determine if the project is desirable for Albertville, prior to investing in a more formal development application and plans. Based on the design concept review, Planning Staff provides the following options for the Planning commission and City Council to consider: Option 1. If the proposed concept plan and its related issues are determined not to fit the City land uses goals for this area of the city. The City may reject the concept plan and retain the current R-1 zoning for the property.

By Shannon Prather (https:llwww.shrMbune eam/shannon•prather/lUO67161/) Star Tribune OCTOBER 5. 2020 - 1:08PM Ann and Scott Kemmitt owned their 3,000-square-foot home in Maple Grove for nearly three decades. Once their two sons grew up and moved out, the empty nesters wanted to be done with home maintenance. "I am an electrician. I am outside all day," Scott Kemmitt said. "I didn't want to come home and weed the garden and cut the grass." The couple sold their home and eventually leased a house in Beacon Ridge, a new neighborhood of single-family rental homes in Plymouth, becoming part of the newest trend in Twin Cities suburban living. Neighborhoods of single-family rental houses are planned or have recently been built in four Twin Cities suburbs. Altogether, more than 360 such houses could go up in Maple Grove, Plymouth, Woodbury and Inver Grove Heights —some with rents topping $4,000 a month. City leaders say they welcome this new type of rental that meets a growing demand for flexible housing options. "What we hear from people all the time is they want to rent and they want the option for a maintenance -free lifestyle but they don't want the shared walls," said Joe Hogeboom, Maple Grove's community and economic development director. "This really appeals to a lot of people. I think we will see a lot more of this in the metro and in Maple Grove, and it will be really welcome here." Watermark Equity Group, based in suburban Chicago, is the developer behind four of these new neighborhoods. They're marketing the communities as suburban living with resort amenities, including pools, clubhouses, dog parks and fitness trails. The homes have high -end finishes and smart -home features, such as cameras at their front doors and keyless entry. Rent also includes concierge -style services. Staff members plow driveways, mow and fertilize lawns, and maintain appliances. "It's really a new product in the marketplace over the last four to five years, primarily in the South," said Ian Peterson, Water ark's director of operations. "You see a lot of these in Phoenix, Dallas, Fort Worth and even Florida." Mobile professionals The Twin Cities area, with its cluster of Fortune 500 companies and its thriving professional class, seemed like a ripe market for this style of housing, Peterson said. Homes range in size from 1,500 square feet to more than 3,000. Monthly rents rival a mortgage payment. They start around $2,000 and climb to more than $4,000 depending on the location and amenities. Leases can range from one to three years. 'The average income for the folks who live in our communities is about $150,000," Peterson said. 'These are people who can afford to buy, but they are choosing to live this lifestyle." The lack of maintenance is a big part of the appeal. He said about a third of renters are empty nesters, sometimes with vacation homes elsewhere. Another third are middle -age people, some single or recently divorced, and professionals who relocate frequently for work. The final third are younger millennial couples testing out life in the suburbs. "They've done the North Loop thing and the Uptown thing. They are starting to have kids and want extra space," Peterson said. 'They want their own four walls."

Woodbury, Inver Grove Heights and Watermark Group A new trend for suburbs For decades, homeownership has been a defining feature of suburbs. More than 80% of residents in Maple Grove and Woodbury own their homes, according to census data. Apartments and other rental properties have not always been well received in suburban communities, with homeowners raising concerns about increased density and traffic as well as substandard upkeep. But Twin Cities planners say these high -end rentals are filling a need. Peterson said they do a lot of upfront work trying to educate city leaders and erase the stereotype of a rundown rental with "cars on the blocks" in the front yard. Still, some cities have balked, and Peterson said Watermark hasn't pushed where they're not welcome. The fast of the Twin Cities -area rental communities, 66 houses in a neighborhood called Mills Creek (gyp ://www.startribune-co outh-a new -kind of- rental-housjUkLj-g=gyp/559701422D , was completed in Maple Grove earlier this year — and it's already full. In September, the Maple Grove City Council approved the Excelsior Group's plan for a second single-family rental neighborhood near Cook Lake with 58 rental homes. "Mere really weren't any huge concerns related to the type of housing," Hogeboom said. Instead, the city planning office has received a handful of calls inquiring how to rent there. Construction crews have already started preliminary work at Canvas at Woodbury, a neighborhood of 81 single-family rental homes to be built in the "modern farmhouse style." Woodbury City Planner Eric Searles said the new development fits within the city's commitment to expanding housing options, which also includes several apartment complexes that are under construction 'They are addressing a new market for single-family rentals," Searles said. Later this fall, the Inver Grove Heights City Council will consider Watermark's application to build 120 single-family rental homes. One of the most noticeable differences between these rental neighborhoods and conventional ones is lot size. Rental homes tend to be closer together. Inver Grove Heights Community Development Director Heather Rand said city staff will recommend approval, though she andcipates some questions from elected leaders. 'This is definitely something new for our planning commission and City Council," she said. "I think there will be some discussion, and that's OK." More space plus privacy The Kemmitts, both 59, are paying about $2,800 a month for their two -bedroom rental home. They still spend their weekends at their lake home Up North. Before moving into Beacon Ridge, they tried a luxury one -bedroom apartment. It just didn't work for their dog, who needed space, or for Ann, who co -owns a flooring company and often works from home. The new rental house is open concept with cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, a modem kitchen and views of nature outside their back picture windows. Ann Kemmitt said she's looking forward to Christmas. Shell again have room to host family gatherings. "It's more expensive but for us right now, it's so worth it," Kemmitt said. "It's more our style."
