Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to continue to July 20. 1999. meeting
~lmroval of Resolution 99-57, apRfoving Ordinance 99-827 for first reading for the rezoning
of the former Alliant Tech parking lot from R-I-C to R-I-A PUD (Beard Groupl
Staff is recommending a continuation because the mayor will not be present at the meeting
and also to provide the applicant time to revise the plans based on the Planning
Commission's recommendation. The applicant has asked that the City Council discuss the
rezoning from R-I-C to R-I-A, PUD at this meeting to identify any issues the Council may
have regarding the proposed rezoning. The public was notified that this would be on the
agenda at the July 6 meeting.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Ms. Boen moved and Ms. Swanson seconded a motion
to approve Resolution RZ99-8, recommending approval of Ordinance 99-827 to rezone the
former Alliant Tech parking lot from R-I-C to R-I-A, PUD. The motion carried on a 6-1
vote, Mr. Engel voting nay.
Overview.
The applicant, The Beard Group, is proposing to construct single family homes on the
C) parking lot that was previously owned by Alliant Tech. The site is approximately 9.5 acres.
The Planning Commission approved a development of 61 homes. Since the meeting, the
applicant has revised the site plan to construct 58 homes. The development as proposed
consists of 58 single-family homes. The price range will be approximately $140,000 to
$200,000.
The plat will have 58 lots that vary in size because of the PUD zoning.

(I How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
0 What is the difference between the R-I-C and R-I-A, PUD zoning?

0 Primary Issue!l to Consider.
0 :0:0\7 bn!l the Comprehem;ive Plnn designated the !lubjcd Dite?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Low Density Residential. The proposed
zoning and the Comprehensive Plan designation are consistent.
0 What in the difi'eR"ence bet\7ccn the R-I-C nnd R-I-A, pun zoning?
The R-1-C zoning requires a minimum lot size of 12,000 square feet and a minimum lot
width of 80 feet. The R-I-A, PUD zoning does not have a minimum lot size. The PUD
zoning allows flexibility in the zoning requirements. The site with the R-I-C zoning could
have approximately 30 homes, and with the R-I-A, PUD zoning the applicant is proposing
58 homes.
\) Should the site be n-czoned to R-I-A, PUD?
When Alliant Tech decided to sell this site, of the calls staff received, most were inquiring
for the development of an industrial or multiple-family project. There was a concept review
last year for a multiple-family development. Staff has confirmed the desire for a single-
family development with the Zoning and Planning Commission and City Council and told all
0 developers inquiring about the site of the desire for a single-family development. Staff has
worked with the applicant to get a single-family development on this site. The R-1-C zoning
has a larger lot size, and that may not be the appropriate single-family zoning for this site.
The abutting lots on Tyler are zoned R-1-C, but they are narrow and long, the width being
similar to the R-I-A zoning.
0 Whnt wn!l the discussion at the Zoning nnd Planning meeting?
Staff reviewed the proposal for 48 single-family units with the Commission. Bill Beard, the
applicant, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Beard reviewed the history of the site and
why they submitted a proposal for 48 units. After a neighborhood meeting last Thursday, the
neighborhood indicated that they would rather have a homeowners association. Mr. Beard
presented a development for 61 units that would have a homeowners association. A 61-unit
development would have a zoning ofR-I-A, PUD. Mr. Beard stated that they need a certain
threshold of units to have a homeowners association, and the 48-unit proposal does not meet
that threshold.
At the public hearing one neighbor spoke against the development and three others stated
they would rather have a homeowners association.
There was considerable discussion on the 48-unit development vs. the 6I-unit development.

Alternatives,
('
)
'-/ 1. Approve the rezoning. By approving the rezoning, the site will be rezoned from R-1-C to
R-I-A, PUD
2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the site will not be rezoned from R-I-C to
R-1-A, PUD and the proposed development will not be able to be constructed as
proposed. If the City Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be
identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
