I 'I I Council Meeting Minutes May 8, 1990 Page 3 Council Business, continued Report 90-105, Consideratioh of Action on Development Agreement for Bri ghton Corporate Park has been omi tted from the agenda. The omission is the result of a signed amended development agreement from the developers which will enable a second building to proceed. In addition, the developers report that they are very close to a purchase agreement on the third site in the project. Erny Mattila, City Planner, explained that Trammell Crow Company has secured an option on the property located north of I-694, west of 27th Avenue NW, and south of 12th Street NW. The app 1 i cant is request i ng a rezon i ng from B-1, Limited Bus i ness, and R-2, Two Family Residential, to R-3B, Multiple Family Residential. Bob Lux, Tramme 11 Crow Company, showed s 1 i des of the company 's successful townhouse developments in Eagan, Edina, Bloomington, and Minnetonka. The proposed New Brighton project would be very similar to these developments in design and quality. The project would offer upscale rental to people of middle and upper income. The rental range would be $625-$950 per unit with combinations of one, two and three bedroom units arranged in seven and eight unit buildings. The two story buildings would be clustered to allow for common open space at the center of the site. The open space would be tied to the proposed City park and provide a clubhouse for the townhouse community. Peter Pfiester, Pfiester Architects, said the concept plan includes the vacant property and three single family homes along 27th Avenue NW and the rear portion of the nursing home property. The three single family homes are proposed to be removed. The total development encompasses 41 acres divided into 8 acres of 22 single family lots (being developed by Harstad), 5 acres of park land, and 29 acres of rental property (273 rental units). Each unit will be assigned one enclosed attached garage stall. Additional enclosed stalls would be provided in detached garage structures. John Johnson, Mierla and Associates, said the plan is designed to ,effectively reduce the amount of surface drainage leaving the site and resolves the concerns of residents located north of 12th Street. Also, a sound barrier comprised of earth berms and plantings would be installed to reduce the amount of noise from 1-694.
