Mounds View City Council April 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Six the rational used by the City of Bloomington in granting the change and variance required for lot sizes. Mr. Haas presented sketches of the proposed lay- out of the homes, as well as pictures of the homes they built in Bloomington and the layout of the Bloomington area. He explained that each lot would have 50' of frontage at the building line. He also added that the current residents of the Mounds View development have expressed concern in having double family homes built there, as they feel it would detract from their homes. He also stated they would be able to lower the cost of each home by approximately $5,000 if granted the smaller lot sizes. Director Thatcher stated the developer has not taken the density bonus on the lots in question. Attorney Meyers reviewed the list of reasons for granting variances and stated they could amend the PUD. Mr. Grueling explained that when Bloomington approved the plan, they averaged all the lots together, to come up with the sizes.
