Brian Stumpf called the Special/Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission and City
Council to order at 4:45 p.m.
2. Concept Stage Planned Unit Development proposal for a 4 story, 80 -unit residential
multi -family apartment complex
Applicant: Kent Kiellberg
Steve Grittman introduced the staff report for the item. He noted that the original PUD
was in place for the parcel to contain all multi -tenant commercial space. The request was
to amend the remaining vacant space of the PUD for a multi -family development.
Grittman noted staff concerns with having no direct access from a public street. It
contained surface parking and at grade covered parking.
He noted the project would use the R-4 zoning. Grittman noted the site sits within a
transitional zoning area to the mix of residential and commercial uses. It was noted the
parcel is currently zoned B-4.
Overall, the Planning Commission and City Council were concerned about access onto
School Boulevard. It was noted that a traffic study to determine the amount of traffic
would be important for a commercial or residential project. The design of the building
was favorable.
The boards also discussed the powerline easement. It was noted that the easement does
not affect the parcel. Road and trail connections were discussed using this easement.
Tom Wasmoen, the applicant's engineer, explained that the drawing was preliminary and
could change. He said that he would work on addressing the access and traffic concerns.
Grittman summarized the conversations from the boards. The applicant could apply for
development stage PUD as a next step.
