Loading...
Summary
The city council approved Resolution 08‑2026 to allow a one‑story, 32‑unit assisted‑living facility with memory‑care and assisted‑living wings at Dayton River Road and Balsam Lane North; staff and the planning commission recommended approval with minor landscaping screening conditions.
City planning staff presented a site‑plan review for a 32‑unit assisted‑living and memory‑care facility proposed at the southeast corner of Dayton River Road and Balsam Lane North.
Planning staff said the project is one story, uses an L‑shaped design preferred by the planning commission, meets setbacks and a 25‑space parking count exceeds the 16 spaces required by code. The planning commission held a public hearing in early February with no public commenters and recommended approval 5–0; staff similarly recommended approval contingent on updated landscaping plans to provide screening for nearby single‑family and multifamily residences.
Applicant Jeremiah Larson attended and confirmed the project team would pursue state licensing and Minnesota Health Department reviews as part of the building‑permit and licensing process. After brief council discussion, Councilmember S4 moved to approve the site plan and S12 seconded; the motion carried on the council’s voice vote.
What’s next: Staff will coordinate landscaping details and the applicant will pursue building permits and state licensing as required.
