-8- � i a) an -eleven foot variance to the frontyard setback requirements; • b) a four foot variance to. the rearyard/residential area setback requirements; c) a four foot variance to the parking requirements for front yards; finding that there will be no undue hardship from denial due to the condition of the parcel involved, but rather granting these variances would aggravate the .existing visual and.--traffic problems in that neighborhood, and f.urthermore, . adjacent .properties would, in the opinion of their owners, be adversely affected. Motion carried unanimously. With the acquiescence of the Mico Oil Company representative, consi- deration of the sign variance for his gas station was .deferred until after the concept review of the Ames proposal, for which there_ were _ a number- of residents still present, was disposed of. David Ames, of the Ames Corporation, 5029 Morgan Avenue South, dis- cussed the feasibility of low and moderate income housing being developed on the 2 .3 acres of .Hedlund property at approximately 4001 Silver Lake Road, for which an amendment to the Hedlund PUD will be required. He discussed with several residents of the area the concept for 22 townhouse units which would be resident-owned �. under the Section 235 financing. Mr_. Ames said income of the home- owners can be anticipated to be between $16,000 ,and $17,000. Objections to the proposal, from.. the residents in attendance, ranged from a concern that the homes along. Penrod and 39th would be de- valued', units might be purchased outright by the government for welfare recipients, a two-story building is too high, to one resident saying she "would rather have commercial" . Motion by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Bjorklund to recommend a . Public Hearing be set for the Commission' s February .meeting to con- sider the modification of the Hedlund PUD to allow the development proposed by David Ames. Motion carried unanimously. George .Knight, of Brookings, South Dakota, District Supervisor for Mico Oil Company, presented his firm' s application- for a sign vari- ance for a 5 x 6 foot price sign to replace the existing signage at their gas . station at .2400 27th Avenue N..E. to meet the competi- tion of similar- price -advertising on the FAS .GAS station .at 3001 37th Avenue N.E. - Mr.' Knight expressed his. company' s'.preference that they be able to advertise-.the price for which their product is selling rather than use their allowable signage for company iden- tification. More digits in the price requires larger signage than is presently utilized at the station. The May 15, 1973 Minutes where the Planning Commission allowed the FAS GAS signage were noted. l
