1:~-%N He had talked to L. Thompson, ~~anager of the St. Paul Water Dept. v~rho said he doubts if i.t would affect our v~rater supply to any anoreciable extent. At most, it would result in a pressure loss of about 1~4#, and that is a variance you ca.n expect in any ling. Thompson told him our engineer had talked to him about a 16" water line, but that it had not yet been presented to the water department. If the water were to be extended, Thompson doubted it would have very little affect on the Falcon Heights Ulater Supply. Screening by planting was omitted from plans because they wanted to rely on recommendations of the village. They are willing to furnish prover screening by landscaping. There appears to be a feeling that this project would not fit in with other buildings in the area. Project has been designed with a low sil- houette. Al though it is a 3 story building, it would actually be only as high as a 2 story building with living quarters in the basement. It Vrould be lower than the Fire Department Building and ti~rould be in conformity ti^rith other buildings in the area. Builder would like to build in this spot, and if he doesn't build here, he will build somewhere else in the area. Builder would like to sit down end go over differences people referred to. As pointed out, the total area is 2.6l~ acres; density 1100 sq. ft. per unit; :.~1 families per acre; 2850 square feet of buildings; percentage of lot coverage 26.5. St. Paul's requirement in ex- cess of 35~. Total sodded area is a little over 1 acre exclusive of parking area. I~linneapolis allows 6S~ coverage except on corner lots vThere it may be 80~. They do not require off-street barking. There: is no question but what the project could be built in St. Paul just as it is proposed. In St. Faul, space bet~reen buildin~~s vrith- out set back or side of apartmment building requ reme- t;~, ~;.~~ been reduced from 6' to !a.'. The narrowest space proposed is 26' be- tween buildings. This is a very valuable pyece off' ground and he feels it is being utilized in as practical a manner as possible ti^ri+,hout making it too expensive to build on. Nick Christensen said he had checked with St. Paul and St. Paul had told him the, same a.s :r. Rocbins outlined. Nilsen asked about a scale model. r"_"_:: .°~as t~~ :: ':~°,~ could make a drawing r.~uch cheaper and quicker. They have some ider_tical uul~'ings in St. Paul vrhich could be viewed.
