Existing zoning of the north half of the land is 1 -1, Light Industrial District. The south half of the tract is currently R -1, Single Family District. The applicant wishes to rezone the north half of the R -1 property to 1 -1, and the south half to R -2, Two Family District. Upon rezoning approval, Mr. Kroiss would then like to develop the 1 -1 property into an approximately 20 acre industrial park and build two tiers of double bungalows as a transitional zone between the proposed industrial use to the north and the existing single family use to the south. Mr. Kroiss has submitted this proposal in the form of a preliminary plat concept plan. The surrounding uses and corresponding zoning are as follows: • West, the Soo Line Railroad Tracks and Buck Blacktopping which is 1-1. • North, three single family homes, the Mariana property which is 1 -1, the Knack and Innot properties which are R-1. North of the site, across South Owasso Boulevard is vacant, zoned 1-1. • East, St. Paul Waterworks right-of-way. Southeast corner, single family homes zoned R-1. • South, single family homes zoned R-1. Access to the proposed industrial use would be via a 1,065 foot "L" shaped street ending in a cul -de -sac. Boss Road and Jackson Street are to be extended north and connected by Beam Avenue to serve the proposed double bungalows. 10
