Mounds View Planning Commission May 1, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Tim Jarret of 2841 Woodale Jarrett said he feels that the City has enough multifamily housing <br />and suggested making the land available to other developers as he feels it would be easily <br />marketable for another purpose. He then said he feels the building is architecturally boring and <br />$1250 is low rent for a three bedroom home. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson indicated that Mr. Juaire would be in charge of all the maintenance for <br />the development whereas a twinhome, that is either owned or rented, may not be maintained as <br />well as proposed by Mr. Juaire. He then commented that the City cannot control whether the <br />property is owned or rented. <br /> <br />Director Ericson agreed that the City could not control whether properties are owned or rented. <br />He then said that even though the City has a sufficient amount of multi-family housing it is <br />lacking in rental townhomes and this type of use may be very marketable in the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson closed the public hearing at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Zwirn/Hegland. To Deny Resolution 697-02, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of a Development Review, Minor Subdivision and Rezoning for a Six <br />Unit Townhouse Development Located on Silver Lake Road. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated he did not feel comfortable rezoning the property because it is <br />his feeling that the ratio of multi-family housing to single-family housing is biased to one side <br />and he would like to work toward correcting that. <br /> <br />Ayes – 4 Nays – 2 (Miller/Johnson) Motion carried. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the recommendation of denial along with a copy of the minutes would <br />be sent to Council. He then noted there would be another public hearing at the Council level on <br />May 28, 2002. <br /> <br />Mr. Sandell told the Commission it would be nice to look for the type of townhomes being build <br />on Osborne Road, one level, owner-occupied townhomes. <br /> <br />Ms. Matinen, the daughter of the property owner, asked the Commission if she could build a <br />twinhome on the property and remove all the trees. <br /> <br />The Commissioners said yes. <br /> <br />Ms. Matinen said thank you. <br /> <br />______________________________________________________________________________
