City Council Meeting Minutes August 24, 1999 Page 3 1 1. Mendota Homes, Inc. for 3621 Old Highway 8, conditional use permit, 2 preliminary plat, final plat, and rear yard setback. 3 Mr. Hatch reviewed the background of the project indicating that in December 1997, a 4 representative from Mendota Homes had presented a request to the Planning Commission 5 to rezone a vacant property at 3621 Old Highway 8 to complete a multi-family housing 6 project that is on adjacent property in Roseville. Both the cities of St. Anthony and 7 Roseville approved the rezoning. 8 In May of this year, City Staff was informed by Mendota Homes that the scope of the 9 project had changed, and that single-level townhomes were proposed for the site instead. 10 Mr. Hatch stated the project has two issues: (1) a variance is required because the lot I 1 coverage exceeded the maximum of 50%; and(2)the setback for the side yard and the 12 back yard were not met despite consideration of turning the townhome to a different 13 angle. 14 Mr. Hatch stated that a motion had been made by the Planning Commission regarding 15 this project, and that certain conditions were set forth within the motion. Mr. Hatch refer- 16 enced the Planning Commission meeting minutes of August 17, 1999. 07 City Attorney William Soth stated that the Planning Commission has treated the property 18 in St. Anthony as a single lot. Technically,the property consists of three lots, so lot cov- 19 erage is 100% on the unit lot, but the other lots provide surrounding area. Mr. Soth fur- 20 ther stated the ordinance requires that certain findings be met before a conditional use 21 permit can be granted. These findings are: (1)the use must not be determined to be det- 22 rimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing in or working in the 23 vicinity; (2) the use must not be detrimental to the values of property in the vicinity; (3) 24 the use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience; 25 and (4) the use will contribute to the general welfare. 26 27 City Manager Mike Morrison clarified that this issue is contingent upon City Attorney 28 approval. 29 Cavanaugh expressed concern over the lack of a central document incorporating all of the 30 issues and proposed requirements for the conditional use permit for the Council to review 31 in analyzing this proposal. 32 Marks stated that a motion would incorporate all conditions and said motion would be 33 reflected in the minutes. Ranallo mentioned that the approved items and restrictions 34 would be incorporated into a document, and such document would be signed. i
