-7- 3. There was no opposition to the rezoning expressed during either the Planning • Commission hearing or Council consideration of the proposal , or to staff prior to those meetings. Motion carried unanimously. The matter of the proposed lot split in the Johnson Manor project had been dis- cussed briefly during the Council ' s October 22nd meeting. Eddie Fuerenstenberg, the proponent, was present but no f urther.input was required of him. Motion by Councilmember Ranallo and seconded by Councilmember Enrooth to approve the subdivision without platting which would permit the transfer of two feet of land from Lot 9 in the Johnson Manor project to Lot 8, resulting in Lot 9 (.2612- 34th Avenue N.E. ) becoming 78.95 feet wide and Lot 8 (.2608-34th Avenue N.E. ) being increased to 77 feet wide, to enable a better fit of structures on those two lots. In approving the lot split,. the Council finds, as did the Planning Commission, that: 1 . The proposed change would result in lots of more equal size in the project; 2. The change would only be minor; 3. By permitting the subdivision without platting, the City would be expediting the redevelopment of this tornado damaged addition; and 4. No objections to the lot split had been raised during the November 19th Planning Commission hearing, the November 26th Council consideration, or to staff prior to either meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Bowerman indicated he would not anticipate any Council action would be required related to the last item on the Commission agenda, the question of a viable use of the Mikkelson lot east of the vacant Clark station property, since the Commissioners had been unable to give the owner any direction as to how he might develop .a 16 foot wide by 150 foot long lot which is zoned for a duplex. The Council concurred with that assumption. At 8:35 P.M. , the Mayor opened the public hearing to consider approval of the Multifamily .Rental Housing Program for the construction of 300 units of market rate rental housing for persons over 55 by Arkell Development Company for Phases IIB and III of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project, commenting that the notice of hearing had been published as required in the November 6, 1985 Bulletin. Mr. Childs summarized the sequence of actions which would be taking place almost simultaneously because staff had perceived the City' s ability to issue Tax Incre- ment and Housing Revenue Bonds might be affected by possible changes in federal legislation after December 31st. To expedite the project before that deadline, the Council had scheduled the hearing that evening to be followed by a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission, Monday evening, December 2nd, on the Development Concept Plan changes in the current P.U.D. for the final phases • of the project which would allow the developers to construct 300 units of market rate rental housing for the elderly renting for an average rate of $800 a unit, in lieu of the same number of market rate condominiums which had been proposed
