- b� Q <br />MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development <br />DATE: September 9, 1986 <br />SUBJECT: DYNAMIC DESIGNERS REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A 7-UNIT <br />CONDOMIUM/APARTMENT ➢UILDING <br />Attached please find the following: <br />1. Planning application dated 6/23/86. <br />2. Staff report dated 8/6/86. <br />3. Mounds View Planning Commission Resolution No. 93-83 dated <br />9/7/83. <br />4. Mounds View Planning Commission Resolution No. 94-83 dated <br />9/7/83. <br />5. City Council Resolution No. 1653 dated 9/12/83. <br />6. Site, grading, and planting/landscaping plans dated 6/6/86. <br />7. My memo with attachments dated 8/29/86. <br />8. Minutes of the 9/3/86 Mounds View Planning Commission <br />meeting pertaining to this project. <br />The Mounds View Planning Commission denied the Resolution No. <br />170-86 regarding variances for Dynamic Designers proposal <br />(Planning Case No. 138-83). The major reason is that the <br />development does not meet City Code requirements for open space <br />(Chapter 40.06, Subd. B[e]). A minimum 625 square feet of <br />"usable open space" is required for each dwelling unit. Usable <br />open space is defined under City Code 40.02, Subd. B(107). <br />The Planning Commission did not take action on Resolution No. <br />168-86 because the variance resolution was denied. <br />City Code requires that a 7-unit condominium/apartment building <br />have a minimum of 4,375 square feet of open usable space. If the <br />developer constructs 5 units, City Code requires 3,125 square <br />feet of usable open space and the developer will have sufficient <br />usable open space to meet City Code requirements. <br />Staff requests direction on this issue. <br />SWT/bac <br />
