MSP (Hodges /Blanchard) To adopt Resolution #518 vacating the easement as
per the legal notice.
Mayor Rustad called the hearing to consider amending the square footage
requirement of dwellings and requiring a garage to order at 8:30 P.M.
Clerk- Administrator Zylla read the legal notice and attested to its
publication in the New Brighton Bulletin April 1st and 8th, 1971. He
announced that individual letters were sent to 21 general contractors
informing them of the hearing.
Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillviei Road, requested the Council's views on the
proposed amendments.
Councilman Johnson stated that he would like to see the minimum size house
either 1,050, 1,060, or 1,070 square feet. He favored decreasing the side
yard set back on a garage side to 5 feet. He also wanted a double garage
(attached or detached) as a requirement.
Councilman Neisen favored a 1,050 square foot requirement with provision
for a garage at a later date. He stated that he hated to see people priced
out of the market.
Councilman Hodges stated he would like to see the area moved to between
1,008 and 1,040 but he was against garages. He felt the cost of a home
was high enough.
Councilman Blanchard agreed that a larger square footage was needed but was
against the garage requirement. He did favor an ordinance requiring
placement of the house for a garage at a later date.
Mayor Rustad felt that the two story house area should be larger also. He
stated that to increase the area on a one story over 1,008 would cause
considerably more expense. He favored making provision for a garage but
not requiring it.
Discussion on types of houses and taxation of split entry homes followed.
Councilman Neisen stated that 75% of the basement of a split entry house
is taxed as living area.
Larry Vossen of VoCo Construction felt a requirement of 1,050 on a one story
with 912 on a split entry was a good size.
Philip Fauchald, 8270 Red Oak Drive, believed the garage should not be
required but room should be allowed for it.
