Commission approves Creekside Condominium amendments and condominium plat; developer agrees to complete prior improvements
Summary
The planning commission approved an amendment to the Creekside Condominium group development to replace previously approved four‑unit buildings with two‑unit structures and approved a corresponding condominium plat; the developer said it will post a letter of credit to finish outstanding shared driveway and roadway work.
The Planning Commission approved a requested amendment to a group development plan for the Creekside Condominiums that would change previously approved four‑unit structures to two‑unit structures and also recommended approval of a condominium redivision plat to implement the change.
City staff said the original group development approval dates to more than 20 years ago and the current petitioner, Schroedean Group LLC (represented by David Patzelt), proposes to reconfigure the approved units into duplex‑style (two‑unit) buildings with a 20‑foot separation to meet fire separation requirements. The building footprints would remain approximately in the same locations as the originally approved structures.
Patzelt said the developer has reached agreement with the condo association on outstanding items and will post a letter of credit guaranteeing completion of prior improvements, including reconditioning deteriorated pavement on a shared driveway. He said remaining legal issues in the condo documents will be resolved prior to start of construction and that construction would likely begin in spring or summer once replanning and condo doc updates are complete.
Commissioners asked whether prior developer obligations remain outstanding and whether association approval thresholds had been met. Staff and Patzelt said a 75 percent owner approval threshold applies for certain condominium document amendments and that the association had not yet held a vote; Patzelt said the association supports the plan (a letter from Jay Rasmussen was in the packet) and the formal vote will occur after city approvals.
The commission approved motions for the group development amendment and the condominium plat by voice vote. A separate land division request for a nearby two‑lot certified survey map was later tabled after commissioners raised unresolved easement issues (see separate article).
