for subdividing the area and putting roads through. The proposals varied from
providing 26 lots to 45 lots in the area, taking into consideration a holding
pond and park area, and assessments ranged from $8,665 to $9,870 per lot.
Ted Martin, 3000 County Road H2, asked if there had been any feasibility studies
done on developing the area as he felt there was too much peat in the area to
build on. Administrator Achen replied that there had not, that this meeting
was being held to first determine if there was any interest in the development,
before going into it further.
Engineer Hubbard stated that the assessment figure was a rough figure, but that
the Engineering Department felt that the assessment figures were high, so as not
to provide any surprises if the development were to occur and problems were run
into.
Earl Staurseth, 2908 County Road H2, stated that he had been assessed at one
time for his water and sewer and did not want to face another assessment again
on the same property.
At Councilmember Rowley's request a poll was taken of the residents present at the
Council meeting and 11 were against any development in the area, 2 were interested
and 2 were indifferent, with 10 families not represented.
Mayor Pickar stated since the majority of the residents were not interested in
aiy development, the issue would be tabled. He also reminded the citizens that
they did not have to worry about the City deciding at a later date to go in and
develop the area, since that area was their's and the decision to develop would
have to be their's.

COMMERCIAL /MIXED DEVELOPMENTS - GUSTAFSON OFFICE BUILDING
Mr. Gustafson has requested approval of a plot plan and development proposal for
an office building development (B -1) at 7664 Greenfield Avenue. The proposal as
presented would require variances of parking and sethack requirements.
Mr. Gustafson has requested Council's reaction to the sketch plan concept before
proceeding with detailed drawings. He indicated that the building would be
similar to the real estate office located at the southwest corner of 85th Avenue NE
and Old Central Avenue in Fridley.
The Planning Commission gave variance of required parking in order to obtain wider
"green" space between parking lot and street. The change effectively increases the
"green" space between the street and parking lots by the width of the boulevard.
