Conditional use permit to operate as a private club: MOTION: Averbeck moved to approve the conditional use application by VFW Post 6583 to operate a private club according to the City's Ordiances. Crohn seconded the motion and the motion was carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF INITIATION OF REZONING OF LAND IN SECTION 29 AND 32 FROM R -1 TO R -1X: The City Planner presented a map showing an 80 acre parcel of land south of Birch Street and adjacent to South Reshanau Lake Estates. At present, Heritage Homes (Gardner Brothers), has a purchase agreement with Paul Montain to buy the land. The agreement to buy the property is contingent upon Heritage Homes getting subdivision approval. Ron Stahlberg, Pete Kluegel, Don Volk, Randy Schumacher, and John Miller have all visited with representatives of the buyer about the development of the Montain property. The staff people emphasized the need to build houses that: 1. Are compatible with the dwellings being sold in the adjacent South Reshanau Lake Estates 2. Make use of the amenities on the Montain property including mature trees and wetlands. 3. Provide the added tax base necessary to support city services and to improve the Centennial schools - an academic award winning school but in financial terms one of the poorest in the Metropolitan Area. 4. Provide a better housing mix for the city allowing it to meet Metropolitan Council goals for a diversity of housing opportunities. Representatives from Heritage Homes have appeared before both the Planning and Zoning Board and the Park Board with a "concept plan" for the Montain land. In neither case was the concept plan approved. The plan does show approximately the south half of the land being rezoned from the present R -1 to the R -1X district. PAGE 8
