Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • December 16, 1997 Page 3 1 Mr. Mathern stated the 30 unit building received unanimous approval by the Roseville 2 Planning Commission. He stated he will be meeting with the Executive Condominium Group 3 to discuss the details of the project. 4 Commissioner Franzese confirmed that the parking lot will be the only portion located in the 5 City of St. Anthony. She asked if any taxes for the buildings would be allocated to the City 6 of St. Anthony. 7 Mr. Mathern stated he believed that the taxes would remain as they currently are. 8 Commissioner Franzese noted that the parking lot was being purchased from another building 9 and expressed concern that the Medtronic building would retain enough parking as to not 10 diminish it's value. 11 Mr. Mathern explained that when the original owner built the building, he felt there was a 12 need for the additional asphalt. At this point, it has been determined that the parking area is 13 not necessary. 14 Commissioner Horst questioned the designation of the building. 0 Mr. Mathern explained that the building is designated as a 55 year and older senior apartment 16 building and there are certain requirements which must be met. The building will not be 17 subsidized and will include a community room, exercise room, and library. The building is 18 designed for independent living. 19 Commissioner Franzese stated it was a pleasure to see a proposal that includes so much green 20 space and is still economically feasible. 21 Chair Bergstrom closed the public hearing at 7:16 P.M. 22 Commissioner Horst asked if it was in the City's legal rights to recommend the rezoning. 23 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that the City Attorney has highly recommended the rezoning to 24 match the plat in the City of Roseville as the City of St. Anthony's parking ordinance relating 25 to an R-4 multi-family zoning designation is different from those that pertain to Light 26 Industrial use. It will also provide that the deeds to both parcels are consistent. 27 Commissioner Horst stated he believed this was a reasonable request. 28 Commissioner Makowske noted originally he was concerned that this was spot zoning but felt 29 comfortable as both sides are residential and this zoning will be consistent with the adjacent l0 property. 31 Chair Bergstrom noted this may actually fix a zoning problem.
