-2- condominiums , the architect told the Commissioners his group had done an indepth study of parking requirements for similar projects both in • Minneapolis and in the suburbs and had provided parking which the developers believe would be more than adequate for both owners and visitors use, based on the experience in complexes like the Towers and Greenbriar, where a large amount of the parking provided is never used. The underground stalls would be sold separately .and assigned so they would be close to the unit they served and Mr. Yurick indicated that, if the demand is there, additional stalls could be built under the courtyard at the start of construction. The Arkand representative said he would have a better idea about the parking needs when he gets back the survey letters which were sent to the 200 persons who had indicated an interest in knowing more about the condominiums since those questions were directed especially to ascertain the prospective buyers ' parking requirements . Mr. Tushie indicated there would be a security person on duty 24 hours a day and a system would be set up to permit guests access to the building. He also told the Commissioners consideration would be given to providing 'a T.V. monitoring system to provide better security for the garage area . In response to questions from Rose Perzell, 2521 - 27th Avenue N.E. , the architect said each unit would be provided with a wall air con- ditioning unit because central air conditioning would be much more expensive. Buyers would have the option of connecting to the central system, however, Mr. Yurick said, and the developers would be looking into a new energy management system which might be feasible for this building. Mr. Yurick told Mrs . Perzell the costs of the units would run between • the low 50 ' s and high 70 ' s with a higher cost for three bedroom units , if such are provided. He anticipates the association fees for a one bedroom unit would run about $100 a month and would be about $130' for a two bedroom condominium. He told her husband, Roy Perzell , the units are proposed to be finished off when purchased but changes , except those relating to plumbing, could possibly be accommodated. William Tabaika, 2512 - 27th Avenue N.E. , was shown on the site plans that there could be no alley traffic from the project which would be buffered from the residential to the north with grassy areas, and possibly garden plots for the condominium owners . All garbage would be hauled from the front of the building, he was told. Mr. Yurick indicated there would be two elevators in the building , one built large enough to accommodate a stretcher . The hearing was closed at 8 : 17 P .M. Mr. Childs told the Commissioners that if they recommend approval of the P.U. D. they would be also indicating their agreement with the setback, total and unit density, height of the building, and parking for which variances would normally be necessary to construct the project as proposed. He told Commissioner Franzese there would be no state mandated increase in Fire or Police Department personnel to match the increase in population generated by this project. He said no decision has been made as to whether or not there would be sidewalks ,
