--10- 1 Further reasons for requiring these conditions on the permit approval are that the 2 ration of 145 parking spaces to the seating capacity of 510 is less deficient than 3 prior to this request. 4 5 Motion carried unanimously. 6 7 At 9:52 P.M. , the hearing to consider the petition from Bernard Blanske for rezoning 8 of .76 acres located at the southeast corner of Silver Lake Road and Silver Lane 9 from R-2, two family residence district, to R-3, townhouse residence district 10 which would allow him to construct eight townhouses on that property. 11 12 The notice of the hearing had. been published in the November 5, 1985 Bulletin and 13 mailed to all property owners of record within 350 feet of the subject property. 14 No one present reported failure to receive the notice or objected to its content. 15 16 As he had stated in his overview of the proposal in the agenda packet, Mr. Childs 17 indicated the project would meet all City ordinance requirements for setbacks 18 and lot size and would complete the development of Silver Lake Road from 39th 19 Avenue N.E. to Silver Lane-._'-He had also stated that he perceived a Silver Lane 20 access would be preferable to an' exit off Silver Lake Road. 21 22 Bob Blanske of Blanske Enterprises, 3829 N.E. Foss Road, represented his brother 23 who, he said, was. in Tucson, Arizona but would be calling back to see if there, 24 was any further information.that would be needed. 25 26 Commissioner Bjorklund indicated he was sorry that the single family home at 3017 27 Silver Lake Road broke the continuity of use for that strip and to some extent, 28 created what might ,be perceived as a "spot zoning" situation. Mr. Childs 29 reported that he had worked with Sid Johnson, who had previously discussed develop- 30 ment of the property, but who unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the owner of 31 the adjacent home, Mr. Bona, to move the existing home back onto property he 32 owned behind that lot. 33 34 A check of the City' s Comprehensive Plan indicated that whole strip at one time 35 had been considered for commercial retail development, which Mr. Childs commented 36 might account for the fact that there had been so little neighbor reaction to the 37 current proposal to construct townhomes there. 38 39 Mr. Blanske said the townhomes would be constructed as a quality project with brick 40 and stucco just as had all the other residences his brother had constructed in the 41 past. He estimated the unit costs would run around $85,000. 42 43 Mr. Childs indicated the parcel would have to be platted after the foundations are 44 in and the Planning Commission would have to review that platting. 45 46 There was no one present to speak against the rezoning and the hearing was closed 47 at 10:02 P.M. for development of a recommendation to the Council . 48 49 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to recommend 50 the Council approve the rezoning of .76 acres of land owned by Bernard Blanske on 51 the'southeast-corner--bf..SilverLLake„Road_ and---Silver _Lanegeneral ly`descri-bed,_ the 5 2 Blanske Addition., that part of Lot 1 Ex the E 137.8 ft lying N .of Lot 2 and its i 53 Ext.
