Page 10 <br />• November 27, 1995 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />are fronting along Bronson Drive, but the back 225 feet of those lots would be <br />included in the rezoning. The twin homes would front on Silver Lake Road. <br />Mr. Beach has already constructed two twin home sets just north of this property <br />along Silver Lake Road. <br />This request is subject to criteria spelled out in the Municipal Code regarding <br />rezoning. <br />Ms. Blanchard stated she received a telephone call. in regard to this request, <br />asking if the property would be rental property. <br />Mr. Harrington stated the properties in the building that Mr. Beach has already <br />constructed have sold for a minimum of $165,000 per unit which likely would not <br />support a rental type set up. <br />Mary , 2816 Bronson Drive presented a signed petition from <br />residents in the neighborhood who are opposed to the division of the lots and <br />the construction of twin homes. They wish to have the property remain zoned <br />single family residential. By changing the zoning, it changes the whole <br />atmosphere of the area. She stated when she looks at the property she sees the <br />potential for more homes to be put there in the future. <br />Ms. Trude stated the appearance of the buildings is much like single family <br />homes. She stated the Planning Commission has been pleased with the <br />enhancements that Mr. Beach has brought to the city along silver lake road and <br />over by Messiah Lutheran Church. She also understands that there is a real <br />desire for this type of housing in the area. <br />Mr. Harrington explained that the city's code requires that twin homes that are <br />constructed each have a minimum frontage of 50 feet. Mr. Beach is proposing <br />two buildings which would require a minimum of 200 feet. He is proposing to <br />rezone 225 feet. Code restrictions would limit the, number of buildings that <br />could be constructed on the property. . <br />Ms. stated another concern of the neighborhood is the increase <br />in traffic. <br />Mr. Harrington explained that traffic will enter and exit the buildings on Silver <br />Lake Road, so traffic should not have much of an impact on the area. <br />Mr. Beach stated the twin homes he proposes to build will appeal mostly to <br />empty nesters and retirees. He feels this is the best type of land use for the <br />property. <br />
