-2- Z-62-3 REZONING ON SOUTH SIDE OF 37TH AVENUE N.E. FROM STINSON BLVD. TO SILVER LAKE ROAD. :OME PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 37TH AVE. HAVE PROPOSED THAT BECAUSE OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMEPCIAL DEVELOPMENTS NORTH OF 37TH AVENUE THE SOUTH SIDE BETWEEN STINSON BOULEVARD AND SILVER LAKE SHOULD BE REZONED FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTIPLE DWELLINGS. HOWEVER, IN THE OPINION OF THE COMMISSION SUCH A REZONING WOULD HAVE SERIOUS ADVERSE E,:FECTS UPON THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREA IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EITHER THE VILLAGE OR THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. THE PLANNING COMMISSI %N DOES FEEL, HOWEVER, THAT SOME BUFFER SHOULD BE PROVIDED AND TWAT FOR THIS PURPOSE THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO-FAMILY DWELLINGS, IN COMPLIANCE WITH VILLAGE ZONING AND BUILDING CODES, SHOULD BE PERMITTED ON BUILDING LOTS CONTIGUOUS TO 37TH AVENUE N.E. IT IS THE FURTHER RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMISSION THAT TWO-FAMILY DWELLINGS IN THIS AREA BE PERMITTED BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR REZONING AT THE TIME OF THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION INSTEAD OF BY .A BLANKET REZONING AT THIS TIME, IT WAS MOVED BY ROCKS, SECONDED BY CAVANAGH, AND APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. Z-62-5 REZONING NORTH OF 37TH AVE. IN THE VICINITY OF FOSS ROAD SOME Of THE PROPERTY OWNERS ALONG FOSS ROAD HAVE REQUESTED BY PETITION AND IN APPEARANCES BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THE PROPERTY ALONG FOSS ROAD, NORTH OF 37TH AVENUE BE REZONED FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO MULTIPLE DWELLING. IN CONSIDERING THESE REQUESTS, THE COMMISSION NOTED THAT AT THE PRESENT TIME THE ZONING ORDINANCE DOES NOT CONTAIN A MULTIPLE DWELLING ZONE AS SUCH BUT THAT SUCH USES ARE HOWEVER PERMITTED IN COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL ZONES. THE COMMISSION HAS HOWEVER PROPOSED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MULTIPLE DWELLING SECTION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE. SEE ITEM Z-62-4 ABOVE) IN THE OPINION OF THE COMMISSION, REZONING THE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO FOSS ROAD TO MULTIPLE DWELLING WOULD CREATE A NARROW STRIP OF UNPROTECTED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING BETWEEN THE PROPOSED REZONING AND THE VILLAGE BOUNDARY AT HIGHCREST. SINCE THIS WOULD SE HIGHLY UNDESIRABLE THE ACTUAL CHOICE APPEARED TO THE COMMISSION TO BE BETWEEN REZONING TO MULTIPLE DWELLING ALL OF THE AREA NORTH OF 37TH AND BETWEEN THE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL ZONING AND HIGHCREST ROAD OR DENYING THE REQUEST. IT WAS SHE FURTHER OPINION OF THE COMMISSION THAT SUCH REZONING WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREA TO THE SOUTH OF 37TH AVENUE AND ALSO THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREA EAST OF HIGHCREST WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF NEW BRIGHTON. IT WAS MOVED BY SKOVRAN THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWINGS 1 . THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING EAgr OF FOSS ROAD SHOULD BE RETAINED. • 2.
