Home My WebLink About06(B) - Gallery Apartments Concept Plan at Intersection of West Avenue and CH21 Report ITEM: 6B CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: May 16, 2022 PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director PRESENTED BY: Casey McCabe AGENDA ITEM: Presentation of a Concept Plan for Gallery Apartments at the Intersection of West Avenue and CH21 GOAL AREA Desirable & Sustainable Development OBJECTIVE: 3. Explore ways to encourage downtown as a vibrant destination. 4. Encourage development and preservation of quality life-cycle residential housing options. RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action is required at this time. The City Council should provide the applicant with comments, impressions, and/or concerns about the concept plan as it relates to proposed multi- family residential development. Councilor comments are not binding, and the developer should not rely on any statements made by an individual Councilor as the sentiment of the entire body. However, in the absence of City Council concerns, comments, or suggestions to the contrary, the developer will likely proceed with the development as presented in this concept stage. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this agenda item is to review a concept plan for the Gallery Apartments, submitted by the applicant, Gallery Apartments/Chase Real Estate. A concept plan review allows the City Council an opportunity to provide informal, non-binding feedback to the applicant. City Council concept plan review generally includes a high-level discussion around density, parking, access, traffic impact to surrounding roadways/intersections and if additional public infrastructure improvements may be made necessary by the development, potential impact to surrounding properties, building design, building materials, building height, and any other topic the Council or applicant may wish to discuss. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Future commercial or multi-family residential development approval on this site would help diversify the city’s tax base. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Provide feedback to the applicant regarding the concept plan. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Site Plan 2.

We have the property under contract and are quickly working through our due diligence and engineering to prove out the project which we believe to be an excellent opportunity for upscale housing in the downtown - Town Center - neighborhood. Our office has extensive experience in new construction, multi-family development as a long-term owner, developer, general contractor and manager of upscale apartment properties in the south metro. I look forward to designing a high-quality project that fits with the planning goals and aesthetics of Prior Lake; one the City will be proud of. Our goal is to listen to Council’s feedback and move into the city approval process as we develop our plans for a hopeful late Summer/Fall construction start. See next page for Project Statistics. Thank you, Joe McElwain Director of Development, Architect Gallery Apartments Chase Real Estate 2140 County Road 42 West Burnsville, MN 55337 Joe@chasere.com Chase Real Estate – The Gallery Apartments (Prior Lake) Request: Site Plan Sketch Review. Council Work Session May 16th; review our proposal and gather input. Proposal: 97-Units, upscale market-rate apartment building. 4-stories w/ flat roof and architecture that fits into the downtown and nautical theme of Prior Lake. Project Statistics: Total Site Area: 2.42 Acres Zoning: TC, Town Center Proposal foresees meeting code and not requiring any variances. Setbacks: to be within Code limits. Building Size: 27,000 SF footprint. 4 Floors. Flat Roof proposed. Height: +/- 50 ft to top of parapet depending on final average grade around building. Dwelling Units: 97 Units Proposed. A mix of one bedroom and large two-bedroom corner plans. Average Unit Size 930 SF. Ranging from 620 SF to 1300 SF. Condo style finishes. Most to have 5x10 balconies. Common Areas: All amenity rooms facing Eagle Creek for active-lifestyle/vibrant feel and design; large outdoor patio with grill stations, dining, firepit, gazebo. Gym, yoga room, Lounge and work-from home areas, Club Room, Lobby, possible 4th-floor Sky Lounge, and on-site management Office. Bike storage. Pet wash. Interior landscaped courtyard. Parking: 83 Surface Stalls and 82 Garage Stalls. =165 Total Stalls = 1.7 Stalls / Unit. 1.27 Stalls / Bedroom. Topography: Elevations dropping from south hill down toward Eagle Creek Ave to the north. Existing retaining wall that was built as part of the eastern adjoining properties (of which falls on this property) will be extended as needed for grading of the south portion of the building. Chase Real Estate – The Gallery Apartments (Prior Lake) Wetlands: NW Corner wetland is a County stormwater easement. Developer is working with County on existing runoff rates and volumes. Utilities: existing easement feeding Duplex property has 8-inch Sewer and 6-inch Water w/ plug. Design team verifying project needs and elevations. Access: All access to site will be off West Ave SE. Existing curb cut serving Duplex (4351 Racine Street SE) will be moved slightly north to align with future drive aisle. An additional curb cut is proposed 45 feet north to provide a drive lane to the underground parking garage. This lower parking low will require some retaining wall, making this second curb cut necessary to work with grading. Neighboring Duplex and Access Easement: Existing access is a gravel driveway and curb cut off West Ave SE. Future Access will be maintained through the development’s new parking lot drive aisle. Owner is supportive of the proposed project.
