BACKGROUND

SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE. The 5.4 acre site is located in Southwest and just to the west of Excelsior Boulevard and /Lake Calhoun. The site has street frontage on List Place, Abbott Avenue South, 31st Street West, and a portion of Chowen Avenue. Currently, the project site contains a 22-story, 113-unit building (Calhoun Tower) with an attached parking garage that accommodates approximately 200 parking spaces.

SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD. The surrounding area, located just to the west of Bde Maka Ska/Lake Calhoun and just east of the Midtown Greenway/future West Lake Street Light Rail Station (Southwest Line), has a variety of land uses. Housing development in the area includes a 20-story tower at 2950 Dean Parkway (Lake Point Tower), numerous six to 12 story multifamily residential buildings in the area (e.g. West Calhoun Apartments and Calhoun Beach Club) along with smaller residential developments. Other area uses include commercial developments and shopping centers such as Calhoun Commons and Calhoun Village Shopping Center and office buildings. The most common zoning district in a 500-foot radius is R6/Multiple-Family District. Other zoning includes C3S/Community Shopping Center, R4/Multiple-Family District, OR1/Neighborhood Office Residence, R1A/Single-Family, and R1/Single Family.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The applicant is proposing a registered land survey (RLS) to coincide with their development proposal that includes retaining the existing building and building four new buildings with 744 residential units. The RLS will better align property lines as well as make the reciprocal use agreements more straightforward within the campus of buildings.

ANALYSIS

PRELIMINARY/FINAL REGISTERED LAND SURVEY The Department of Community Planning and Economic Development has analyzed the application for a preliminary and final registered land survey based on the following findings:

1. The subdivision is in conformance with these land subdivision regulations, the applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance and policies of the comprehensive plan.

2 Department of Community Planning and Economic Development PLAN10755

The applicant is proposing a registered land survey to coincide with their development proposal that includes retaining the existing building and building four new buildings with 743 new residential units. The RLS has 9 tracts (Tracts A through J). The City Attorney’s office and City Public Works Department Right of Way Division reviewed the registered land survey and did not identify any issues. The registered land survey is in conformance with the design requirements of the land subdivision regulations. The subdivision will not result in different zoning classifications on a single lot and the subdivision will not result in the creation of a nonconforming structure. The registered land survey would also conform to the applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance and the policies of the comprehensive plan as noted in the 2017 and 2019 land use approvals (PLAN6681 and PLAN9785). Furthermore, the city planning commission approved the variance for the preliminary plat to have more than five sides in July 2019.

2. The subdivision will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity, nor be detrimental to present and potential surrounding land uses, nor add substantially to congestion in the public streets. The subdivision will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. It will also not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding land uses or add substantially to congestion in the public streets. The proposed development complies with zoning code bike and vehicle parking requirements, which helps reduce congestion in the public streets. In addition, the development complies with other zoning code requirements that look to have a new development design fit in with the surrounding area and eliminate the chances of it being injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity and for the surrounding land uses.

3. All land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering the residents or users of the subdivision or the surrounding area because of flooding, erosion, high water table, soil conditions, improper drainage, steep slopes, rock formations, utility easements or other hazard. The site does not pose the above hazards.

4. The lot arrangement is such that there will be no foreseeable difficulties, for reasons of topography or other conditions, in securing building permits and in providing driveway access to buildings on such lots from an approved street. Each lot created through subdivision is suitable in its natural state for the proposed use with minimal alteration. The lot arrangement will pose no difficulties in securing building permits or in providing driveway access to the site. Regrading will be done in a way that is in compliance with City regulations.

5. The subdivision makes adequate provision for stormwater runoff, and temporary and permanent erosion control in accordance with the rules, regulations and standards of the city engineer and the requirements of these land subdivision regulations. To the extent practicable, the amount of stormwater runoff from the site after development will not exceed the amount occurring prior to development. The registered land survey meets City of Minneapolis stormwater runoff regulations and will not exceed city standards.

RECOMMENDATIONS
