Amendment— with independent, assisted and memory care units. He reviewed
Senior the location of the parking for the senior building. The
Housing Comprehensive Plan guides this site Regional Mixed Use, non-
retail focus and high density housing was an allowed use. The
proposal has a density of 59 units per acre. Staff commented on
the job estimates for the senior housing noting 35 to 50 full time
jobs would be created versus 170 if the site were to remain
office.
It was noted the site was previously proposed for office,
but explained the proposed use would have a higher tax value.
Staff commented further on the request noting the applicant has
explained there was not a strong demand for office at this time.
He reported the Planning Commission reviewed this item at
their April 27,h meeting and recommended approval on a 6- 1
vote.
Councilmember Hanson commented on the required building
enhancements and asked if this would be addressed further
during the Development Stage Phase of the project design. She
indicated she would support the site having more amenities that
were tailored for seniors. Planning Manager Vickerman stated
this could be addressed further with the developer during the
Maple Grove City Council Minutes
May 4, 2020
Page 11
Development Stage Phase, along with the architectural and
landscaping details.
Councilmember Hanson believed there was a need in Maple
Grove for this type of housing and stated she was less concerned
about the density.
Councilmember Jaeger questioned if there was a Plan B for this
project if the economy took a sharp turn due to COVID- 19.
Tony Kuechle, Doran Development, thanked staff for providing
the Council with a detailed staff report. He explained he was
proposing to construct 198 units within a five story building.
He noted this would be a continuum of care facility. He reported
the facility would have 117 units would be independent living
units, 59 assisted living units and 22 memory care units. He
discussed how the site would be programmed specifically for
seniors. He described how the proposed five story building
would add interest to this area of the Village at Arbor Lakes.
He discussed the enhanced landscaping and architecture that
would be used on the building. He indicated this building was
developed based on a market study and explained there was an
increased demand for independent living during these times,
which meant there was no Plan B.
Councilmember Jaeger questioned when construction would
begin if the project were approved. Mr. Kuechle reported
construction would begin in the spring of 2021 and noted the
building would take 18 months to complete.
Councilmember Jaeger encouraged the developer to consider
outdoor seating or a firepit for the site. Mr. Kuechle indicated
this was a Concept Stage Plan and these details would be
included with the enhanced landscaping plan in the
Development Stage Plan.
Councilmember Hanson stated she understood the developer
has been trying to market the site for office. Mr. Kuechle
explained the site has been marketed for the past three years as
office space and he anticipated there was more predominant
office sites available within the Gravel Mining Area. He
anticipated two smaller service offices may be located in the
area.
Councilmember Barnett inquired how old the market studies
Maple Grove City Council Minutes
May 4, 2020
Page 12
were for the senior housing project. Mr. Kuechle stated the
study was originally completed in the spring of 2019 and this
information was updated in November of 2019.
Councilmember Barnett questioned if this building had the
flexibility to be used for other housing should the market for
senior housing change in the next two years. Mr. Kuechle
reported this building would be programmed specifically for
seniors.
He explained the market study shows a strong demand
for senior housing for the next 11 years.
Councilmember Barnett indicated there may be a trend in the
near future for seniors to not to want to congregate in assisted
living facilities given what has happened during the COVID- 19
pandemic. Mr. Kuechle stated he has spoken to his operating
partner, Ebenezer, to discuss this matter and noted there was an
increased demand for being in a controlled environment where
services are provided versus living on their own.
Councilmember Leith stated he thought this would be a great
site for a tall office building. However, this has not panned out
and he anticipated the demand for office would go down. He
did not want to see this site remain empty for years to come. He
indicated there were other sites in the city that could support
office.
He noted the proposed density did not bother him and
explained he would be supporting the proposed senior housing
at this location.

Leith, to approve directing the City Attorney to draft a
