2. Agenda
A. Consideration of Request for Concept Stage Planned Unit Development
proposal for 136 -unit Senior Living Facility
Steve Grittman explained the request for Concept Stage Planned Unit
Development (PUD). The concept included two separate mixed senior living
buildings. Grittman stated that these types of developments would be classified as
the R-4 zoning district benchmark and that the density was within code, but the
site would be zoned PUD. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
would also being completed to understand any conditions that would require
further environmental review or mitigation due to the property's status on the
National Historic Register. Staff provided preliminary comments and issues per
the staff report. Grittman noted that a number of engineering comments would be
made with a formal land use application, but that the City and developer would
need to decide who would control the street to the development.
Flexibility from the zoning code would include lot frontage, parking, roof pitch,
and unit square footage.
Trident Development, Tealwood Senior Living, and Mielke Development
provided a presentation about their proposed project. Dan Mielke, Mielke
Development, stated that they completed a market study that demonstrated the
need for over a hundred units of senior living. Mielke explained that they have
looked around for land in Monticello and thought the site they proposed for the
development was the best. Roger Fink, Trident Development, presented some
history of his company and stated that every senior living facility that they have
built has been managed by Tealwood Senior Living. Fink explained what
distinguishes Tealwood Senior Living from other senior management
organizations. Fink discussed the amenities offered at the building. Carin Bzdok,

Trident Development, explained some of their completed projects in other
communities.
Brian Stumpf noted that the City and developer would need to figure out
ownership and construction of the street to the proposed site.
Bill Fair asked about the timeline for the developers. Fink stated that he was
hopeful that the City Council would authorize the EAW process (a 5 month
process). Once the EAW was completed, they would apply for land use
applications. They anticipated a late spring, early summer construction. Fair asked
if there were any concerns with only having one access to a public street.
Grittman explained the traffic would be much less and would likely not stress the
street.
Fyle explained that access would be important to incorporate in the plan for larger
vehicles.
Marc Simpson also requested better access to the site.
