Action Requested
Review the proposed projects and provide the applicant with informal/non-binding feedback.
Background/Discussion
The applicant is seeking Council feedback regarding two proposed
apartment projects. The first site is located south of the Jackson Street
Water tower and proposes a six -unit apartment building on a 0.13-acre
parcel in the C-1 zoning district. The current zoning does not permit
stand-alone residential buildings and would require rezoning or
development as a PUD. The site is also relatively small for a building of
this size and compliance with parking and design standards will be of
particular concern.
The second project is located on the south side of Main Street, south of
the dam. The vacant lot recently had an existing building demolished.
The proposal includes a six -unit apartment building and a six -stall
parking garage on the 0.43-acre parcel in the R-1c zoning district. The
current zoning does not permit apartment buildings and would require
rezoning or development as a PUD. This is also relatively small for a
project of this size but is better suited for the proposal. Compliance
with parking and design standards will also be of concern.
Mission/Policy/Goal
The request supports growth of the business community within Elk

Handout Item 9.1 11/16/2020
My name is Bob Owens. I live at 1790 Tipton Cr NW in Elk River. I moved
here 6 years ago from Coon Rapids. I enjoy the city of Elk River and all it offers its
residents. From the parks to the local eateries and shoppes this town has
something to offer everyone! I would like to invest in the city myself in the form
of two 6-unit apartment buildings. I have owned and managed my own building in
Columbia Heights since 2006 as well as managed and maintained buildings near
mine for other owners.
Each building would have 6 units with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath per
apartment to help address the shortage of 3-bedroom units available in the city.
The Main Street location would also offer balconies to 4 of the units that would
give a beautiful view of Lake Orono. The city’s Comprehensive Plan states that Elk
River is projecting continued population growth and additional housing will be
needed. I, along with my family, would love to be a bigger part of the city with
this housing investment.
I am excited to hear your thoughts and willing to adjust the plan as needed
to accommodate the properties in question.
Thank you for your time!
Bob Owens
