-6. • l The Commission members were polled for their reaction to the proposal . 2 3 , Commissioner Jones indicated he would have no objections to building the proposed 4 home on that 47 foot lot but wondered if there woul-d be an advantage for Mr. 5 Anderson to at .least talk to the Hertogs about their plans for developing the 6 adjacent property to see if he couldn 't work out a different configuration which 7 could be beneficial 'to both parties since the Commissioner does not foresee the 8 City permitting the redevelopment of the florist property into 47 foot lots 9 facing Edward Street N.E. He told Mr-. Anderson it would be to his 'own advantage 10 to return to the public hearing on the request with written indications of 11 neighbor approval of his plans. ` 12 `. 13 Commissioner Hansen responded to this by saying he agreed with Commissioner Jones ' 14 desire to have this property fit .into .the Hertog development, but perceived, 15 since that would not be possible for----at least a year, the Commission would have 16 to consider this proposal independently since Mr. Anderson had indicated he 17 wanted to start construction as soon as he could. The Commissioner indicated 18 that', barring any serious opposition from the neighbors, he would be voting for 19 a recommendation of approval for this project since he personally is very happy 20 to see the lots :in that area, none of which are an ideal size, developed for 21 attractive homes. 22 �. 23 Commissioner Franzese indicated she could recommend approval of this proposal 24 since a 34 foot wide house would probably be fitted more attractively on this 25 lot which the Manager had indicated was 7,300 square feet and larger than the 26 Mike Pribula lot at 3231, Roosevelt, for which a variance was recently given. • 27 28 The Chair indicated he also would have preferred to have an arrangement whereby 29 the Hertog property could have been considered with this proposal , but conceded �. 30 there just wasn 't time for that to be worked out. He offered no objections to the 31 proposal before him. 32 33 Commissioner Wagner indicated the Anderson proposal looked good to him and said 34 he would have no objections if none were raised by the neighbors. 35 36 Mr. Childs reported the actions taken by the City in an attempt to get the storm 37 damaged property like the -Johnson's and the Hertog's. cleaned up. Commissioner 38 Hansen said he saw bulldozers working on the Johnson property that- day. 39 40 There was a brief discussion of Arkell 's financing problems with the condominium 41 project with several Commission members indicating their concern that some of the 42 buyers might withdraw from their purchase agreements if start of construction is - 43_ delayed too long_ _ r 44 45 Commissioner Hansen promised to report back on the vote scheduled the next evening 46 by St. Anthony Legion members* on whether the local post was interested in joining 47 with the New Brighton Legionnaires to purchase the former Super Valu building on 48 01-d Highway 8 for clubrooms. If the City group decides to make the move, the 49 St. Anthony building would be sold. Mr. Childs said it would be difficult for 50 that property to be considered along with the condominium development at this 51 late, date. 52 53.- Commissioner Hansen requested support .of the Commission :members for the St. 54 Anthony Biennial.
