Wenger <br />Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota <br /> <br />DATE: March 16, 1981 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Condominium Development <br />Silver Lake Road at County Road E <br />New Brighton, Minnesota <br /> <br />("'I <br /> <br />At the March 8, 1981 hearing on this project before the combined Planning <br />Commission and the Board of Review of the City of New Brighton, several specific <br />points were raised concerning the development. The following summarizes our <br />response to those points and adds our opinions on factors which should be <br />considered when the project is submitted for City Council review. <br /> <br />OVER;VIEW <br /> <br />The proposed use of this parcel for multi-family condomipium development is <br />appropriate and desirable from a number of viewpoints. Among them are: <br /> <br />1. The proposed use for the construction of condominiums should be more, <br />compatible with the adjacent development which is primarily residential. <br /> <br />2. Traffic and access problems associated with the development can easily be <br />resolved. If the 6.30 acres were developed as limited business (8-1) as <br />currently zoned, the daily trip generation would be incresed six to eight fold <br />over the 440 trips per day associated with the proposed project~ Volumes of <br />that magnitude would intensify the problems on heavily loaded Silver Lake <br />Road. Exiting large volumes to Windsor Court would also be less appropriate. <br /> <br />3. The proposed condominium use adds substantial tax base without creating <br />unwarranted public services needs. That is, ponding can be maintained on the, <br />site and made an advantage rather than a detriment, no special or unusual <br />construction is needed to serve access, the provision of parking on site is <br />adequate and assured, etc. <br /> <br />4. More open and green space can be incorporated in the site design than for any , <br />business or commercial use in which the area required for parking is <br />substantially higher. <br /> <br />__._-..- ._v ___~,_.__.___._-.__ ,- -'--~~_'______.~__.'___ ._-..____. -- ~______..______-- --.___________ _____.._._.__. -~---~--..------.-..-- .~--,._------ <br />_'._ ___.,.. :_..__~._,.."..__.... _v.; .. __ _..,_.~ ..._.' __._. _ .
