December 13, 1976 <br />Page 8 <br />a proposal for single family homes directly behind their houses with <br />R -3 zoning on Lots 8 -23 and a buffer inbetween. Councilmember Shelquist <br />stated that this would also be acceptable to him, but the currently <br />proposed plan' is not. <br />Councilmember Hodges stated that he felt the lots south of the <br />existing homes could be zoned R -3 tonight with Lots 4 -7 left as R -1. <br />This would allow the developer to start. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated he agreed with,Councilmember Shelquist <br />except on a few things. The comprehensive plan does show this area <br />for medium density use. If the City did goof it was in the fact that <br />we should have provided an R -1 strip around the existing R -1 area. <br />There should also be some buffer between the existing R- 1 '!and the <br />proposed townhouse development. Also, the petition says one thin <br />a another thing is being proposed. Councilmember Baumgartner <br />wondered if the people that signed the petition would have really <br />done so if they knew the request was for nine units instea of <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated he would like to see a g ood development <br />plan by an architect that would sign his name on it and which i <br />the south end of the property. <br />Councilmember Rowley stated that she agreed with Councilmembers <br />Shelquist and Hodges on the idea of the north section being R -1. <br />The comprehensive plan addresses itself to providing some type of <br />buffer and on transitional zones. Councilmember Rowley stated she <br />would go along with R -3, but the north end should be R -1. <br />Mayor Pickar stated he was getting tired of having the Council being <br />accused of stopping the development of this area. Everytime this <br />has come before the Council, the Council has made suggestions that <br />the developer should meet with the home owners and reach an agreement. <br />This still has not been done. The Council is delegated the responsi- <br />bility of protecting the health, safety anc welfare of the residents <br />of Mounds View. This proposal would isolate the home owners. <br />At 10:05 p.m. Mayor Picker closed the public hearing on this matter <br />and called the regular meeting back to order. <br />MS (Hodges- Baumgartner) to change the zoning on Lots 8 -13 and 18 -23 <br />from R -1 to R -3 and grant a special use permit for townhouse develop- <br />ment on said lots. Lots 14 -17 and 4 -7 will remain R -1. No special <br />use permit shall be issued for owner occupied townhouses on those lots. <br />All of the property is located in Greenfield Plat 2, Block 3. <br />Attorney Meyers reviewed the ordinance regarding the time limit and <br />stated that the ordinance says conditional rezoning requires the <br />developer to submit adequate materials for issuance of building <br />permits within 90 days. <br />Councilmember Baumgartner stated he would like to see Lot 23 as R -1 <br />because it is alongside an R -1 lot. By not rezoning the south four <br />lots we will be in the same situation we are in now because the people <br />renting the new townhouses will be told the property is R -1 and then <br />the developer may build a club on it. If 11 is zoned R -3 they will <br />know what can be put in there. <br />
