CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 20, 1980 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bjorklund at 7 :35 P.M. Present for roll call: Peterson, Jones, Bjorklund, Sopcinski, Enrooth, and Makowske. Absent: Bowerman. Also present: Jim Fornell, City Manager and Ron Berg, Administrative Assistant Motion by* Mr. Sopcinski and seconded by Mr. Peterson to approve as submitted the minutes for the Planning Commission meeting held April 15 , 1980 . Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bjorklund will represent the Commission at the Council meeting scheduled for May 27th. Mr. Bjorklund opened the public hearing on a rezoning petition by • David Ames for Lot 12 of the parcel commonly referred to as the Hedlund PUD at 7 : 45 P.M. The Manager confirmed that all notification, application, fees, and publication requirements for such a hearing had been met and Mr. Djorklund read the. notice. Of the five residents present, no one reported failure to receive the notice nor objected to its content. This notice of hearing, as that notice sent in February, included Lot 11 on which there is an existing vacated, residential dwelling. Mr. Fornell, however, stated that Lot 11 should not be considered for rezoning as the developer no' longer intends to develop that lot for a community building. The Manager saw no legal ramifications for the inclusion of Lot 11 in the notice especially since the inclusion of Lot 11, in effect, made the notices more comprehensive than required. The repetition of the notice of publication had been necessitated when the first hearing was tabled at the- request of the petitioner. because of uncertaintities about the use of tax increment financing. This type of financing was made necessary when economic conditions improved to the point where FHA funding became more available. In an alternative, if Mr. Ames proceeds with Sec. 235 housing, he will need write down assistance of the land costs of $10 ,000 per unit for each of the eight assisted owner 235 funded units he pro- poses. This figure was later verified by the Manager with HUD . and • the Metropolitan Council as an accurate "ballpark figure" .
