In thinking about the history of this project and as Ms. Mathern <br /> stated, this project was originally proposed as a townhome project. But in looking at this as a twin <br /> home building on the St. Anthony side, the Ordinance allows for all uses that are permitted . <br /> conditional uses in R-1, R-1A, R-2 and R-3 to be a permitted conditional use in R-4 (subd. <br /> 1630.03 (a), p.16-20). In looking at the permitted conditional uses for R-3 on p.16-19, subd. <br /> 1625.03 (c), allows"Multiple dwellings with not more than four apartments", therefore I believe <br /> Mendota Homes application for a conditional use permit is appropriate. <br /> The City attorney also returned my call regarding this question. He indicated that even though <br /> this is being called a twin home, it is not in the sense that ostensibly, each unit/dwelling is on an <br /> individually owned lot, and therefore it would still be considered a townhome. Mr. Soth said that it <br /> is not the number of units in the building, but how it is owned. A duplex is usually owned by one <br /> person and one or all unites are rented. So it is his opinion that these are townhomes and that <br /> that is what Mendota Homes intended the project to be. With that being said, he feels that they <br /> can proceed with their application for a conditional use permit. <br /> If I can answer any other questions about this project or others that were discussed on Tuesday <br /> evening, please give me a call and I will get you the information. <br /> KMS <br />
