Background
The Lakes of Radisson 51st Addition consists of subdividing approximately 3.36 acres into a subdivision with 27 dwelling units creating multi-family rental residential units. The final plat also includes one lot for a common area. This 28 (one common area) lot plat is the 4th phase of the North Bay Rental Townhome development which was approved in 2008. This phase of the project was originally planned for 43 units. The general site remains unchanged except the buildings are being modified to include additional one story end units. There has been a large demand for single level units. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to split the original longer buildings into two separate buildings to double the number of end units. This reduces the original number of planned units from 43 units down to 27 units.
The units are the same units constructed in the previous phases. The units range in size from 991 square feet to 1,225 square feet with rents ranging from $1,175 per month up to $1,500 per month.
The construction of these buildings will complete the project with 162 units opposed to the 178 units as originally proposed.
This is the final phase of the North Bay Rental Townhome project.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 08-30. With this plat, 2,461 home sites, of the originally estimated 3,000, will have been final platted.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
