CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES • March 17 , 1981 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bjorklund .at 7 :33 P.M. Present for roll call: Enrooth, Sopcinski , Bjorklund and Jones . Absent: Bowerman, Makowske and Peterson. Also present: Ron Berg, Administrative Assistant. The Chairman requested the Community Services Department be made aware of a faulty lock on the back door of the building which this evening and several other times has prevented persons from .entering the building to attend meetings in the Council Chambers. Mr. Jones agreed to represent the Commission. at the' Council 's meet- ing March 24th. It was suggested that, since Mr. Enrooth and Mrs. Makowske serve. on the Kenzie Terrace -Task Force and there are often conflicts with other City meetings , they be exempt from serving in this capacity until after the Task Force 's work is completed. Although staff has contacted Bruce Knutson of the Mr. Hobo restaurant on several occasions regarding the. light standard which is down on their property and as of that evening, it was not taken care of, the following recommendation was made: • Motion by Mr.. Enrooth and seconded by Mr. Jones to recommend staff be directed to make one more contact with Mr. Knutson, informing him he has three days to remove or repair the light standard and after that time, the City will take appropriate steps towards its removal. Motion carried unanimously. Accepted as agenda addendum under . No.. 9B was the conceptual review of Sid Johnson 's townhouse development proposal for the Hedlund PUD. Consideration of .the sign ordinance was. deferred until later in the evening. Michael and Rosemary Spielman who. own and live in one of the units of the double bungalow, 2612-14 37th Avenue N.E. on the northwest corner of 37th and Harding Street N.E. appeared for a concept review of their proposal to split their existing lot into two lots . They would retain 8,500 square feet of the existing 15 ,000 square feet for the double bungalow under the existing R-2 zoning and build a single family dwelling for their own use on the 6 ,500 square feet of property which remains under an R-1 zoning. Lot size variances of 5, 500 square feet for the corner R-2 property and 2 ,500 square feet for the R-1 property as well as a 10 foot width variance to the City Zoning Ordinance requirements will be necessary to develop the property as proposed. Mr. Spielman had offered as an alternative the addition. of another unit to the double bungalow which would require rezoning from R-2 to R-3 .
