flexing development standards to accommodate the use and density requirements of the
housing project proposed for property at Locust and 3rd Street.

of allowing residential use on the ground floor, the intensity of the use, and the design within
the context of the goals of the Embracing Downtown Monticello Plan.
Grittman noted that many of the preliminary site plan and architectural issues discussed during
concept review had been incorporated into the Development Stage PUD. He outlined site plan
considerations and highlighted concerns related to scale, garage layout and building design
theme. He pointed out that staff had proposed that covered parking be incorporated into the
building design as an alternative option. Grittman noted conditions of approval included in

residential housing would benefit his business but pointed out that allowing residential units on
the ground floor limits the opportunity for commercial activity. He also noted an ongoing
