>> Yes. Thank you. So, I'll provide a brief presentation. I promise David that I'll be short and sweet with this presentation. So, um for your consideration this evening is the second set of applications for the Oaks on 20th second edition. This is our final PUD,
our preliminary plat and our final plat. for consideration this evening is approval of that final PUD plan and then the replat of the three lots into two lots with one lot being dedicated to the city for that ponding and green space and the other lot containing the 42 unit
apartment building. Past actions included by the council at your August 4th meeting was approval of the preliminary PUD, the reszone and the future land use amendment. With that preliminary PUD, the council acted on
multiple suggestions and conditions of approval that included adding trees and vegetations on the western side of the property, direct roadway connection to 20th Avenue while eliminating 18th Avenue Southeast connection and a connection to the south was also
eliminated. adding a sidewalk along 18th and Minnesota Street and ensuring that that's constructed at the time of construction and also the uh refuge enclosure um doubling that in size and making sure that that is adequately
screened and contained on site. So the public purpose of the PUD there's multiple public benefits as part of a PUD we are required to uh justify the use of the PUD and the public benefits. Again, this project results in
preserving green space through the dedication of outlot, delivers the city cost savings via the storm water construction and ponding dedication. The developer will be constructing the storm water site improvements and then also
expanding our housing options and then enhancing our pedestrian connectivity through the sidewalk dedication and construction. Just a couple graphics that are all in your packets here. Updated visuals showing the site along with the vegetation and the sidewalk. Um some
other site renderings, landscape plan. Again, on here you'll see that uh refuge enclosure there, the location of that. Um strategically placed away from the single family area and then also the enhanced screening on the western side of the property near
the play area and then also on the southwest side of the site. some more landscaping plans showing uh the plantings around the building and the garages. The replplat. So up in the upper leftand corner here is the existing lots. Again,
this is three single existing lots being replatted into two with one of those lots being a outlot. Just a more detailed graphic. The development agreement. This is part
of the requirements of the plat. It lists all kinds of conditions of approval. Specifically, the responsibility of the developer to grade and seed that ponding area and establish at least 75% seating upon which time the city will then take over full
maintenance of the outlot. Um, and also there are no storm water or park dedication fees. We are suggesting to wave those fees due to the outlaw dedication and the public improvements that are taking place on the site that
would otherwise take place. Planning commission discussed this and then recommended approval at their meeting last Monday um six to zero on all of the items, the final PUD, the preliminary plat and the final plat. One recommended condition was to just
connect that sidewalk along 18th to the trail. Um we're working through some um potential constraints with that just in regards to grading and slope percentages. Um but think that we'll be able to accomplish that.
So requested actions are 7A is the approval of the resolution for the final PUD. 7B is the approval of the preliminary plat. And then the last one is approval of the final plat which subsequently approves the development agreement for
the project >> questions. >> Um there was a question I mean I I understand and I I it looks good the sidewalks everything that we've asked for but there was a question of being able to have that um easy access in case
fire uh needed to come through. in that one picture doesn't look like there would be uh kind of by the play area. I thought I saw sh not on this one but
>> so this area right here um will >> Oh, that would be for them. >> Yep. So, this will be the emergency access point right here. >> So, where is the um the path, the walkway, the runway that I use? >> So, the sidewalk goes around the perimeter. >> No, the existing one. Oh, there it is.
Okay. >> The trail. >> So, where they wanted they come where the fire Show me where the fire uh department. Okay. >> Yep. So, fire access is right here. And then the condition that the planning commission recommended was to just
connect this trail down to or the sidewalk down to this trail right here. um there's just some sloping and topography that's at play there where we want to ensure that if that connection does um happen and is feasible that we are not disrupting the fire emergency
access and they're able to Thank you. >> Yeah, because there's I think like a 10% slope that uh we have to be under to maintain that emergency access. >> That's why I just wanted to make sure that that was okay. Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? When when do they
plan to uh initiate like break ground? >> Yep. So uh this fall yet. So um early November is my understanding. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I make a motion to approve resolution
