Planning & Zoning Board May 9, 1984 Page -2- FEASIBILITY REZONE - ROY STANLEY Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Stanley is here tonight representing Tilsen Properties who own property adjacent to 35W and is currently zoned ER. Mr. Stanley is aware of the proposal to bring municipal sewer to this area and he_ is here tonight to get the feeling of the Board regarding rezoning the Tilsen Property to R -3 which means he could build up to eight units per acre (cond's, quads, etc.) Specific building plans have not been formulated. Mr. Stanley explained that even if sewer were br- ought to this area it would not be marketable to build single family homes there because of freeway noise, the presence of the prison fac- ility and the land is somewhat wet. Mr. McLean noted this could buffer the Light Industrial zone. Mr. Ostlie explained that at the present time the City has zoned multi- family more acreage than is required for approval by Metropolitan Council. Mr. Kluegel noted that tonight the Board will be looking at a request to rezone some R -3 to General Business and this could be a trade off. This area meets all the critera needed for a multifamily zone. Mr. McLean stated this proposal looks like it has a possibility. The Planner would have to look at it. Mr. Goldade asked approximately how many units could be built on these 0 parcels. Mr. Stanley said they have never laid out any plans and did not know. The concensus was that this was a feasible proposal. AMENDED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL - SPETZMAN Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Spetzman of 8121 Lake Drive was before the Board on April 11, 1984 and was granted approval of his request to move his house to Sherwood Green. Now Mr. Spetzman is requesting a permit to construct a shop building on the foundation where his house sat. This property is zoned Light Industrial. Mr. Kluegel further explained that Mr. Spetzman is not planning any exterior storage and will surface the parking areas with bituminous blacktop. The new building will be wood frame (not pole building) and be the same earth tone colors as the house was. The driveway will be two lanes wide. After consulting the Zoning Ordinance it was decided this request requires an Amended Conditional Use Permit. Mrs. Klaus noted that there is always cars parked outside the present shop. She felt this should be screened. Mr. Spetzman felt a high fence for screening would detract from his property. He is trying to keep his operation low key and would prefer some other screening than fencing. Mrs. Klaus asked what Mr. Spetzman does with his waste. Mr. Spetzman said the waste oil is given to the City for heating the City shop and the unrepairable transmissions are trucked off the site.
