Roll Call 3. School to Chelsea Small Area Study Steve Grittman introduced the topic. He noted that a concept design was created in response to recent developer request for a portion of the site. The site is a 100 acre site bounded by School Boulevard, Chelsea Road, Edmonson Avenue, and Cedar Street. There are seven adjoining properties to the site. Grittman provided background for the R-4 district and the criteria for allowing multi- family in an area. He noted that it was created in response to the IRET project. Grittman reminded the boards of the recent Buchholz Group concept stage PUD proposal. NAC developed a concept sketch plan to the boards for preliminary feedback and review. Grittman explained several principles and objectives behind the development of the concept sketch. Grittman also highlighted a master plan for the area. It included housing (high density — affordable, market rate), townhouse development, and senior living and care. It also demonstrated a concept pond design, open space and trails, and a public plaza space. Grittman explained that most development proposals would likely need a PUD to proceed, but not always as there is direct access to public streets. It was noted that public comment from adjoining properties was received. Aldi's and Custom Sheet Metal were not present during these meetings. The boards discussed in further detail the concept. Questions included parking location for commercial development (interior or exterior to lot). Grittman explained that development proposals would likely differ from the concept site in some form.

Discussion continued regarding the development of Big Box retailers. Grittman noted that the site could accommodate a Big Box retailer, but that other areas may need to be identified in the City. Lastly, Grittman explained next steps. Brian Stumpf asked if anyone from the public would like to speak. There were no comments heard. Staff welcomed edits and suggestions to the concept design. 4.
