BACKGROUND INFORMATION: KJ Development of St. Joseph, LLC is considering an application for approval of an R3 Planned Unit Development(PUD) to accommodate the construction of a mixed housing development to include townhomes (6-plex) and duplexes on the property located just west of the Army Reserve Building and 20t"Avenue SE on the former Delwin Ballroom site. The property owner and consultants met with staff a month ago and presented a preliminary concept plan with duplexes and townhomes. A PUD would allow for a mixture of housing that would not otherwise be allowed. The property is required to be platted (preliminary and final) and receive site plan approval prior to any development. Additionally, PUD approval would be required as part of the plat approval process depending on the specific development request. The purpose of presenting a concept plan to the Planning Commission is to have preliminary discussion and input on the private roads only. The specific development plan is not being contemplated this evening as that will be reviewed based on city ordinances and any specific land use application requests. The City of St. Joseph prohibits private streets per the City's Subdivision Ordinance as a result of problems with previously approved private streets. These private streets were not built to city specifications and later the City was asked to take over the street. The street widths are too narrow and there is a lack of space for utilities, drainage, snow storage, and sidewalks. ATTACHMENTS: Concept Plan and Narrative REQUESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Preliminary discussion and input on private streets only. St.Joseph Planning Commission October 9, 2017 RE: Del-Win Redevelopment Project BACKGROUND: Kl Development of St.Joseph, LLC is the current owner of the Del-Win redevelopment property. The property consists of 6.05 acres and is located on the east side of 20`h Avenue South East. When KJ Development of St.loseph, LLC purchased the property,the property was rezoned from B2 to R3 with the intention of constructing a 56 unit apartment building on the northern half of the property and mixture of duplexes and quad units on the southern half. The City was in favor of this rezoning and the proposed use as it was seen as a natural progression of housing units within area. in July, KJ Development of St. Joseph, LLC approached Lumber One Avon Inc. to consult in the planning of this redevelopment area. In addition,Westwood Professional Services was hired to develop concept plans for the site. Over the course of developing concept plans, the team decided to eliminate the 56 unit apartment complex and focus on duplexes and six-plexes. The change in scope has reduced the overall unit density for this site as presented to the Ciry when the property was rezoned. The team has met with City Staff to solicit input on concept plans and to review the City's development requirements. The proposed development will consist of duplex and six-plex buildings with an overall density of 52 units. This proposed development will be a private development and the units will be rental. The internal drives and utilities are private in nature as well. PROPOSAL: Kl Development of St. Joseph, LLC is considering the submittal of a R3-Planned Unit Development(PUD) application for the redevelopment of the Del-Win site. The concept plan consists of 14 duplex buildings and 4 six-plex buildings,with a mixture of 2 and 3 bedroom units. Each unit will have a 2 stall garage and 25' driveway,additional parking,rain garden infiltration for storm water,and private internal drives and utilities. Concept F includes two larger building pads in the SW corner of the property for the option of constructing twin patio homes for an additional housing style. Based on direction from City Staff, a PUD is the best option for this site and will allow the owners to request relief from some of the R3 District regulations,while creating an open dialog between the City and owners when developing the site.

If all units were 3 bedrooms,the proposed unit density is 208,OOOsf. The site consists of 263,433sf. 3) Building Site Coverage: City Code states that the max building coverage on a given lot cannot exceed 35%. The proposed concept consists 65,776ft or 25%lot building coverage. 4) Side Yard Setback: City Code requires a 20 foot side yard setback. Concept F is considering a 20 foot side yard setback. 5) Front Yard Setback:City Code requires a 35 foot front yard setback. Concept F is considering a 35 foot front yard setback.

Construction options to reduce the amount of imperious surface may be considered. 5) Private vs. Public Drive and Utilities: As stated, the proposed development will be rental.
