Motion carried unanimously. <br />RESOLUTION 83-37 <br />A RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S <br />LIMITING INDUSTRIAL/COMMFI3CIAL BOND FINAI~ING <br />Mayor Warkentien presented proposed optional Appendix E relating to <br />requiring installation of sprink~.er systems in apartment houses and <br />other public buildings. Assistant Fire Chief Leo Lindig exphined the <br />background on the need for the sprinkler systems. Mayor Warkentien <br />presented a letter from several concerned apartment owners who under- <br />stood that Appendix E would require .sprinkling in existing buildings <br />and requested that the matter be deferred to the first meeting in <br />December in order that more information might be obtained. Mr. Lindig <br />stated that it applies only to new construction, extensive reconstruction, <br />additions to buildings and changes in occupancy. Melvin Spiegler, <br />owner of the apartments on Fry Street, addressed Council to go on <br />record as being in opposition of Appendix E. Council deferred the <br />matter until December 11~, 1983 and directed the Clerk Administrator <br />to notify all commercial property owners. <br />James Maenner, representing the Charles Hawkins Estate, reviewed the <br />rezoning request for the remaining 5.28 acres of the Estate. He ex- <br />plained that the Estate is requesting B-1 zoning with the following <br />restrictions: (1) Falcon Heights Council will have control over <br />exterior features of arxy building erected on the property in order <br />that zt will conform in architectural style to the Community Building, <br />and Hewlett Packard, (2) no variances will be granted for arty building, <br />and (3) adequate screening and berming will be created at the north <br />end of the property when building takes place. Councilmember Ciernia <br />stated the Planning Commission had difficulty with the legality of <br />conditional zoning and asked the City Attorney for an opinion. <br />Attorney Gasteazoro felt that since the zoning ordinance is in the <br />process of being updated, it would be appropriate to have the issue <br />addressed by the new ordinance, which will probably be completed be- <br />fore the end of the year.
