Planning Commission Meeting September 21, 1993 • Page 2 i 1 Urbia explained his staff report and the concurrent review process of the City of St. 2 Anthony and the Evergreen Townhome Association. Urbia also explained a Metes and 3 Bounds description; how the City could waive the plat requirement in a subdivision 4 application; the significance of torrans property; the approval by the Ramsey County 5 Registrar of Titles for the conveyance of land in torrans property by Metes and Bounds 6 description; and lot coverage issues. Urbia also explained the three options of the 7 Commission: (1)the Commission could recommend approval of the request, but provide 8 for the approval contingent upon other review authority approvals; (2) the Commission 9 could recommend denial of the request, and if the City Council voted this way, the 10 request would be dead regardless of other review authority opinions; or (3) the 11 Commission could table the request to seek input from the other review authority. 12 13 Madden asked if this application is legal considering the applicant does not own the land. 14 Urbia explained that this is possible, so that if an applicant is a potential buyer, they may 15 assess the situation prior to the potential acquisition. 16 17 Madden inquired if Mr. Holewa owns 3484 Silver Lane. Faust stated Mr. Holewa is the 18 buyer, as stated on the application form. 19 20 Franzese stated that the request should be tabled, so that the Evergreen Townhome •. 21 Association can debate the issue. Franzese stressed that this was important because it 22 would allow the review authority at the lowest and closest level of the impact to have 23 input. 24 25 The applicant,-Eleonor Holewa, 3201 Townview Avenue Northeast, (buyer for 3484 26 Silver Lane) explained why they applied for the subdivision request. They desire the 27 additional room to enhance their townhome and applied in good faith. It was never their 28 intention to hurt other neighbors. They ask for a fair hearing and consideration. 29 30 Victor Brenk, 3458 Silver Lane, spoke in opposition to the request due to visibility 31 concerns; lot coverage; green space; and precedence. Mr. Brenk supplied a petition in 32 objection signed by 24 of 26 contacted townhome units. Faust asked how many total 33 units there were, and Brenk replied.there were 37 units. 34 35 Jerry Madison, 3442 Silver Lane, spoke in opposition to the request.
