Administrator Achen presented four possibilities that the Staff had drawn up <br />for subdividing the area and putting roads through. The proposals varied from <br />providing 26 lots to 45 lots in the area, taking into consideration a holding <br />pond and park area, and assessments ranged from $8,665 to $9,870 per lot. <br />Ted Martin, 3000 County Road H2, asked if there had been any feasibility studies <br />done on developing the area as he felt there was too much peat in the area to <br />build on. Administrator Achen replied that there had not, that this meeting <br />was being held to first determine if there was any interest in the development, <br />before going into it further. <br />Engineer Hubbard stated that the assessment figure was a rough figure, but that <br />the Engineering Department felt that the assessment figures were high, so as not <br />to provide any surprises if the development were to occur and problems were run <br />into. <br />Earl Staurseth, 2908 County Road H2, stated that he had been assessed at one <br />time for his water and sewer and did not want to face another assessment again <br />on the same property. <br />At Councilmember Rowley's request a poll was taken of the residents present at the <br />Council meeting and 11 were against any development in the area, 2 were interested <br />and 2 were indifferent, with 10 families not represented. <br />Mayor Pickar stated since the majority of the residents were not interested in <br />aiy development, the issue would be tabled. He also reminded the citizens that <br />they did not have to worry about the City deciding at a later date to go in and <br />develop the area, since that area was their's and the decision to develop would <br />have to be their's. <br />COMMERCIAL /MIXED DEVELOPMENTS - ST. PAUL RENT -ALL <br />MSP (Hodges- Rowley) adopt Resolution No 838 authorizing Mayor Pickar and Adm Achen to enter <br />into the contract with St Paul Rent -All, Inc upon receipt of the corrected contract <br />from Rent -All, or any other conditions that the City Attorney deemed necessary. 4 ayes <br />COMMERCIAL /MIXED DEVELOPMENTS - GUSTAFSON OFFICE BUILDING <br />Mr. Gustafson has requested approval of a plot plan and development proposal for <br />an office building development (B -1) at 7664 Greenfield Avenue. The proposal as <br />presented would require variances of parking and sethack requirements. <br />Mr. Gustafson has requested Council's reaction to the sketch plan concept before <br />proceeding with detailed drawings. He indicated that the building would be <br />similar to the real estate office located at the southwest corner of 85th Avenue NE <br />and Old Central Avenue in Fridley. <br />The Planning Commission gave variance of required parking in order to obtain wider <br />"green" space between parking lot and street. The change effectively increases the <br />"green" space between the street and parking lots by the width of the boulevard. <br />
