(Woods Road and Racine Avenue) Deferred from June 21st Meeting. Mr. David Nesbitt, Senior Citizen Housing Development Co., presented the revised site plan citing that the major changes are the reconfiguration of the site which includes two (2) larger buildings of 32 units each with underground parking for 44 spaces for each building, a 12 unit structure at the northern portion of this site to give balance. The community building and the green space have been enlarged. The landscaping has not changed as will be bricked with vinyl. The 32 unit structures will be brick originally proposed. The gable ends, on the smaller buildings, on both the front and rear elevations and the gable ends will be vinyl. The 32 unit structures have a common hallway with elevator, underground parking (44 spaces each building) on a leased basis from $35 to $40. This proposal has decreased the density and increased the open space. Mr. Nesbitt cited that in his experience usually the utilization of the garages is 1/3 and after 2 years it is decreased to 25%. The width of the stair's will allow ample space for the installation of a vertical chair lift if necessary. All of the buildings are fully handicap accessible. This facility is not open to the public, therefore is not required to have elevators in every building. The larger structures will have ramps at the front and rear entrances. The average occupancy of a unit is 9 years. Commissioner Raimann questioned if the garages at this location would be available to residents of this facility only. Mr. Nesbitt responded that the garages will be for residents of this facility only. Pg. 2 Plan Commission Minutes 07/05/94 Commissioner Honl likes this proposal and stressed the fact that the commission should not make this facility unaffordable to people. This site is for affordable housing. The underground parking spaces are 12' x 18' (1425 sq. ft.) which is larger than the City codes require. The installation of the underground garages create a patio for the ground floor tenants. Commissioner Vitt pleased with this revised proposal. Ald. Taube is pleased with the exterior, however he has concerns with the 12 unit building and whether underground parking could be added. Mr. Nesbitt explained that 12 unit building breaks up the site and helps it to maintain the appearance of a single family residences. If garages were placed under the 12 unit building, said building would be one story higher than the other buildings. The site will provide 2 permanent vans and will also maintain a contract with Waukesha County Housing of Aging and some others for transportation. Transportation will be available at least 12 hours each day at this facility. Ald. Taube cited that there is a location in New Berlin that has 2 bedroom apartments with underground parking for $600.00. Mr. Nesbitt responded that he is not aware of the New Berlin project or the economics of it that allows such rent rates. Upon further discussion, Mr. Nesbitt agreed to the carport structure for 12 (roof with no enclosed sides), but not garages at this location. Said carports will be on the north side of the 12 unit building. The total sheltered parking spaces are 100 and the unsheltered spaces are 56. The community building will be used as a management office, library, meeting space, and a kitchen to warm food. Plans are to be submitted at a later date.
