Mr. Gustafson stated that there are only <br />two bedrooms. <br />Mr. Mosman stated that the real problem is density because this would <br />increase the density in this neighborhood. Mr. Smith stated that the <br />basic philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan is to have a higher density <br />around the City Center. The neighborhood is affected much more by the apartments <br />around there than the seven single family homes or this development. <br />Mr. Smith stated that he would like to ask for a continuance. Mr. <br />Ziebarth asked how many single family homes could be put on the north end <br />of the property. Mr. Smith stated that four could be put there, but they <br />are trying to develop the area in the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Sue Kaster, 439 East Skillman, Maplewood, stated that the real question is <br />20 single homes as opposed to 38 townhouses. She stated that in her experience, <br />there is no way to fit many people in a 790 square foot two bedroom home. <br />She suggested that if they are rented, they be limited to one child. <br />If 20 single family homes go in, you are talking about three or four children <br />per home. She felt there would be lower density with this proposal than <br />single family dwellings. <br />Councilmember Rowley questioned the minimum size of 792 square feet for a <br />one story unit. Mayor Pickar stated this proposal is within the code. <br />Atty. Meyers stated that there is a difference in minimum size between <br />rental and owner - occupied homes. <br />Mayor Pickar declared a continuance and recessed this hearing until 8:30 p.m. <br />on October 11, 1976. Mayor Pickar suggested that Mr. Gustafson consider <br />putting something on the north end of the property that is compatible with <br />the home owners. <br />At 9:50 the meeting was recessed for ten minutes.
