OVERVIEW

This property will be  transferred to Krupp General Contractors, pending approval of development plans, who will take the lead in developing the property, and will retain ownership of a large portion of it.  Paul Lenhart is the spokesperson for Krupp.

Initial development is proposed to be a UW Health clinic facility on the northwest quadrant of the property.  A 60,000 sq, ft. three story building along University Avenue is sought to be opened by the end of 2012. It would be served by an initial surface parking lot which will be converted to a parking ramp when more uses are established.  The property is proposed to be owned by Krupp et al and leased to UW Health.

The southwest quadrant of the property is anticipated to be sold to UW Health.  The initial development is a small area for family lodging for long-term UW Health patients which was unspecified at this time. 

The northeast quadrant of the property near the University Ave./Whitney Way intersection, is anticipated to be mixed use development to include a possible hotel, restaurant and multi-tenant retail uses served by parking behind the uses.  Krupp et al anticipates retaining ownership of this property. 

Access to the properties will generally be from an internal street from University Ave south to a round about, then east to Whitney Way at the current median break.  Developers indicate they anticipate left-turn in-and-out at the University Avenue access street.  Developers noted most current buildings will be removed early in the development process.

Discussion by Board members expressed concerns about:  stormwater retention and run-off; wellhead protection; the extent of parking proposed; the impact of lighting on adjoining residential areas; question whether left turns can be accommodated at University Ave; the impact of U-turns along University Avenue; request for updated traffic studies; whether there is sufficient studies of contaminated soils on-site; a listing of sustainable development provisions being incorporated; having bike and pedestrian connections on-site landscaped to encourage use.  It was noted that TIF funding (tax increment financing) has been requested, which may provide financing for other public improvements in the area, such as stormwater retention areas.  The SHNA Board was encouraged to include project maps and information on their web site for public review when available.
