He stated that either project will be 2 within the lot coverage requirements, but will exceed the lot coverage with any additions. 3 Discussion was held on the minimum lot size in an R4 district. Mr. Morrison, City Manager, stated 4 the center was built in 1967,and therefore would be grandfathered into the codes. He stated that the 5 center is located on six lots now, and the subdivision would create two lots, which is an 6 improvement. 7 Commissioner Gondorchin stated that the replatting makes sense and should proceed, but noted he 8 is concerned with other issues that will have to be addressed later, as there are so many unknowns 9 at this time. 10 Mr. Morrison inquired when Mr. Miller would be applying for a variance. Mr. Miller replied it 11 should be in May, as they are currently changing architects. Mr. Morrison stated a concept review 12 will be scheduled before the public hearing on the variance. He also noted a decision will be needed 13 by the City Attorney if a conditional use permit is needed on the expansion portion of the nursing 14 home, as nursing homes are permitted only through conditional uses. Mr. Miller stated an addition 15 was completed in 1971,and a conditional use permit was needed for the addition only. Mr. Momson 16 requested that Mr. Miller share any information he has regarding that expansion. 4PChair Bergstrom stated a concept review is requested when there are "significant" variance requests 18 so the Commission and Council fully understand the intent; he noted they are very informal. Mr. 19 Miller stated that is why he was giving the overview this evening as well, to show the partnership 20 is only doing this for the refinancing; they have no intentions of selling the land. 21 Commissioner Makowske inquired if a hardship must be identified for plat approval. Chair 22 Bergstrom replied that hardships are only needed in a variance. Commissioner Gondorchin noted 23 that the Commission is only making a recommendation to the City Council. 24 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. 25 Motion by Franzese,seconded by Makowske,to approve the preliminary plat for St.Anthony Health 26 Care Center/Chandler Place as presented, with conditions of that the final plat meet the ordinances 27 and stipulations placed by the City Council. 28 29 Motion carried unanimously. 30 Commissioner Gondorchin noted a letter from Mr. John Madden, 3701 Foss Road(attached).
