HEARING
Chairman Black opened the public hearing and advised that CODE
the hearing notice had been published in the April 19 Roseville/Falcon
Heights Focus. AMENDMENTS
Tip Malloy reviewed his April 13, 1989 memorandum regarding
updated revisions to residential setbacks as well as proposed MALLOY
code amendment recommendations.
Howard Christensen, 1452 West California, supported a change
in the city code. He was of the opinion that if younger
families are not allowed to build on additions, they will
not consider purchasing homes in this city and there will
be a lot of empty homes. He also felt there should be room
for expansion on corner lots. Home values will decrease
if additions are not allowed.
Mayor Baldwin referred to his April 18 memorandum. The
present code violates the intent of p]_anning ordinances.
The city should be concerned about maintaining values of
residential property and by continuing to impose unfair
standards violates resident's rights to maintain a good
quality of life. He was in favor of the code amendments.
Chairman Black closed the public hearing at 9:12 P.M.
Finegan moved, seconded by Grittner, to approve amendments
to the .city code in Section 9-2.02. Upon a vote being taken,
the following voted in favor thereof: Black, Barry, Boche,
Finegan, Grittner and Nestingen, and the following voted
against the same: Duncan. Motion carried.
Nestingen moved, seconded by Barry, approval of amendments
to the city code in Sections 9-2.04 and 9-2.05. Motion
carried unanimously.
As a result of the Planning Commission approving the above
code amendments, Mrs. Elizabeth Murphy, 1456 West California,
will not need a variance for an addition to her home.
• Bullseye Golf requested an amendment to their conditional
use permit. Administrator Wiessner advised that problems
encountered by adjacent property owners by having patrons
of the golf-o-mat machines using the rear (north) lot has
resulted in such an amendment request. After a discussion,
Barry moved, seconded by Nestingen, amendment of the conditional
use permit for Bullseye Golf with the fo]lowing conditions:
