AD <br /> PP 0 v E <br /> Page 10 • <br /> April 28, 1997 <br /> Mounds View City Council <br /> 1 added improvements. He provided information in regard to the proposed monthly rents for the units,noting <br /> 2 that they would range from$509/month for a one bedroom unit to$720/month for a four bedroom unit. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Lori DanZezan,President of DanZezan Properties,was present to provide information in regard to <br /> 5 management of the property. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Marie Donahue,2622 Lake Court Drive,stated she is aware that managers and owners of rental units often <br /> 8 don't have any rights when it comes to rental selections,etc. She wondered how Ms.DanZezan would be able <br /> 9 to overcome this. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Ms.DanZezan explained that she has a detailed screening process that she goes through and feels that it <br /> 12 provides the information necessary in making decisions in the selection process. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Council member Stigney asked if the triangular single family property would require rezoning as well. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Mr.Pinkerton stated they would propose that the R-1 zoning on that property would be included in the PUD. <br /> 17 They are planning to keep the single family home there. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Council member Trude asked how many residents they anticipate in the entire development. She wondered <br /> 20 how this may impact the schools. • <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Mr.Pinkerton stated he thinks a majority of the units will be filled by Mounds View residents as there are no <br /> 23 other rental townhomes in Mounds View. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Arnold Winters,7831 Sunnyside Road stated his property abuts the proposed development on two sides. He <br /> 26 would like to see the property improved and is in favor of the proposed development. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Mike Coon,7851 Eastwood Road,stated he does not think residents across the street will want to look out to <br /> 29 the two-story townhomes. Additionally,he heard that the developers plan to use the single family home as a <br /> 30 rental office. This would increase the traffic in the area and affect the property values in the area as well as <br /> 31 child safety. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Mr.Pinkerton explained that the house will not be a rental office. There would be no access onto Eastwood, <br /> 34 therefore he cannot anticipate a traffic increase there. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Mike Strauss,7830 Eastwood Rd.,stated he is opposed to tripling the number of people on the block by <br /> 37 building high density housing there. Additionally,he wondered why the city couldn't force the landlord of the <br /> 38 property to make improvements. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Attorney Long explained that in order to force a landlord to make improvements,they would need to determine <br /> 41 that the property failed to meet housing code. He noted that approving the resolutions would only preserve <br /> 42 options and would allow the city to go forward. They do not obligate the city in any way. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Council member Trude stated she does not like the process of proceeding any further without community input. <br /> 45 Mayor McCarty stated this does not tie the city into proceeding if they later determine that it is not in the best <br /> 46 interests of the community. <br /> 47 <br />
