• City of St. Anthony Council Minutes June 14, 1994 Page 7 1 three items: (1) for the properties to be changed from R2 to R-3; (2) for 2 a conditional use permit for townhomes; and (3) variances for front yard 3 and back yard setbacks. 4 5 The Planning Commission discussed visitor parking availability; the 6 number of garages, the plan submitted showed single garages and the 7 Planning Commission preferred doubles; reduction in density; and 8 concerns over ingress and egress. 9 10 Mr. Bill Schotzlein, who is a consultant working with the owners, and 11 John Beal, a Real Estate Broker, were present. They are both working 12 with the owners to find a developer who might be interested in 13 developing this property. If someone interested in developing these 14 parcels could be found, the project would be returned to the City 15 Council fortheir approval of the details. Conceptually, there would be 16 23 units of townhouses and no rentals. The owners are requesting R-4 17 zoning after the first review. The R-3 zoning was for 23 units (92,000 square feet) and the R-4 zoning would be 55,000 square feet. There is 19 approximately 74,000 square feet or about 1.9 acres of property. The 20 owners have indicated that if the R-4 zoning is approved, it would be 21 designated for townhouses and not for some other multi-family use. 22 23 The consultant indicated he had tried to make more green area in the 24 middle of the site where it is more usable to the people who live there. 25 To do so, the buildings would have to be moved, which would require 26 variances in the front yard and rear yard. With regard to the lot 27 coverage, the requirement is 50% of the lots be covered. The consultant 28 stated that with the townhouses only there is 31% coverage. With the 29 townhouses and parking associated with the townhouses and the 30 driveways, there is 41% coverage and if everything is included (the 31 buildings, the parking, the roadways and the drive through, there is 58% 32 coverage and a variance may be needed. 33 34 The proposed parking meets the ordinance requirements. Under the R-4 35 zoning, the Council may require some screening or privacy for the 36 neighbors. Mr. Schotzlein indicated there would be an association to do 37 the exterior maintenance. The prices for the townhomes would probably 38 be in the $120,000 range. qOP Vehicle circulation would be such that the owners would see additional 41 access in the alley and the existing alley would be eliminated.
