PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GP-1-2023,
FILED BY RUSSELL PLATT, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN
CHANGE FROM MIXED USE WITH HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO
MIXED USE WITH VERY HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1251 WEST 3300 SOUTH

Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled June 27, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application GP-1-2023, Filed by Russell Platt,
Requesting a General Plan Change from Mixed Use with High Density Residential to
Mixed Use with Very High Density Residential for Property Located at 1251 West
3300 South.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The property is currently developed as the Village at River’s Edge
Apartments which include 244 apartments and 21,054 square feet of
commercial space on the ground floor of four of the buildings on the north
end of the property. In the southeast corner of the property there is a 40-unit
condo building that is not included with this application. The current density
of the apartment development is 18.8 units/acre.
The applicant is proposing two significant changes to the existing Village
at River’s Edge development that are highlighted on the attached concept
plan. The first proposed change is to remodel buildings A1-A4 (buildings
in blue on the concept plan) to replace the existing commercial space with
30 new apartments. The second change is to fill the wetland area along the
east side of the property and develop 17 rental townhome units within 4 new
buildings (buildings in purple on the concept plan). The addition of 47 new
units increases the density from 18.8 units/acre to 22.4 units/acre. This is
why the General Plan change is sought. Included with this issue paper are
renderings for the proposed townhomes as well as renderings showing how
the existing mixed use buildings would be remodeled to convert the ground
floor commercial space into apartments. The original development
agreement and a license history of the businesses on the property are
included for reference.
Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing.
Richard Nowak stated that wetlands are very important and he would like this
proposal to be studied further. He indicated he would like to see more open space
included in the proposed concept.
Richard Colosimo stated that he is the property owner. He indicated that the
wetland has struggled over the years and is often frequented by homeless camps.
Mr. Colosimo stated he is working with the Corp and half of the wetland area will
still remain. He also noted that the commercial businesses have had issues and some
tenants have drawn unsavory customers to the area. Mr. Colosimo stated he would
