MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 28, 1997 <br />Gordie Howe, Masterpiece Homes, indicated that most of the twinhomes <br />will be slab -on- grade, however, there will be a few with half basements. <br />The price range for the twinhome units is estimated at $127,000 to <br />$150,000. Howe reported that he has submitted an application to the <br />Minneapolis Builders Association to put two units in the fall Parade of <br />Homes. These units are estimated at $146,700. <br />Scalze asked if there was anyone from the general public wishing to <br />comment on this proposal. <br />Jamie Suchy, 2940 DeSoto Street, asked the total number of units <br />proposed. <br />Frattalone replied that originally there were 76 units proposed in Phase I. <br />That number has been decreased to 64. <br />Joe Peters, 3020 Centerville Road, indicated that he was concerned about <br />the need to provide screening from the proposed residential development <br />if in the future he would decide to add onto his building. Peters stated that <br />he supported the development as proposed and felt it was a great idea. <br />However, he did not to have to provide screening from the residential <br />development given that the property was zoned Industrial -Park when he <br />developed his Industrial site. Peters indicated that he has 5,000 square feet <br />at this time, and his long -range plan is to expand to 10,000 square feet. <br />Morelan asked if the wetland extended onto the Peters property. Peters <br />indicated that a corner of the wetland did extend onto his site, but this <br />wetland area is within the easement area on the property. <br />In response to Morelan's question, Peters indicated that there is not <br />wetland on the Myers Frattalone property. <br />Morelan pointed out that the wetland will provide a natural buffer between <br />the residential development and the Peters' property. <br />Scalze pointed out that when Peters purchased his property the area was <br />zoned Industrial -Park. The Code does not require screening between <br />industrial sites. The need for screening is being created by the request to <br />rezone to residential, and not by any action that Peters has initiated. <br />The City Planner pointed out that Frattalone is being required to landscape <br />the north end of the site. If the Council feels there should be additional <br />landscaping, now is the time to make that requirement. Given that it is <br />PAGE 32C <br />
