1 Planning Commission 0 2 May 17, 1994 3 Page 7 4 5 Chair Gondorchin discussed parking spaces. Mr. Makowske stated that their developer, Schotzlein, 6 couldn't make this meeting, but would have more information on the proposal. Commissioner 7 Franzese stated that this was an exciting project, and would increase the City's tax base. 8 9 Commissioner Bergstrom asked about the property being on the Economic 10 Development/Redevelopment list. Interim City Manager Hamer stated that the property was not on 11 the Top Ten as an immediate priority. Commissioner Horst stated that this was an exciting proposal 12 but the Commission needs more information. He asked Hamer if the new drive would be a City 13 street. Mr. Hamer said it would be a private drive. 14 15 Faust counted twenty-three units and twelve parking spaces, which he doesn't feel is going to be 16 enough as required by ordinance. Also at issue is the two-car garages because the City is currently 17 against single-car garages in new developments. Mr. Makowske said they had planned on enclosed 18 garages for one car and parking. Faust stated a whole new ordinance was created to allow for older 19 houses with single garages. Mr. Makowske said he will pass these concerns on to the developer. 20 who will be at the next meeting. Chair Gondorchin indicated the unresolved issues are: visitor 21 parking, double garages, reduction in density to avoid variances and increasing the green space, as 22 well'as more detailed plans. Commissioner Faust suggested that the owners look at the Harsted 23 development, which was one the Commission found acceptable. The Fire Chief should drive 2 4 through the area checking for ingress and egress of the property. Chair Gondorchin noted the green 25 space in the drawing is just at the circumference of the property. 26 27 Commissioner Franzese asked Mr. Makowske about the target dates and population of the project. 28 Mr. Makowske said that originally they designed condominiums in front, but the owners didn't like 29 that so it was redone quickly last week. Commissioner Bergstrom asked their roles as property 30 owners. Mr. Makowske stated that they had sold the property and had to repossess it: Over the 31 twelve years the other owners had it the property became run down. Mr. Makowske and his brother 32 Don live behind the property and hope to turn it into something nice. Chair Gondorchin asked about 33 the Makowske's alternatives if the zoning is not changed. Mr. Makowske indicated the houses are 34 obviously old,the six-plex was built in 1952,the farmhouse in the 1800's. Chair Gondorchin asked 35 about selling the lots as is and Mr. Makowske responded that the land is worth more than the 36 buildings. Commissioner Horst asked if all of the rentals were rented now. Mr. Makowske stated 37 they are. Horst asked what would happen to the current rental occupants if the development 38 proceeds. Mr. Makowske stated the renters would be given a thirty-day notice and possibly receive 39 some rent support. 40 41 Gondorchin asked Interim City Manager Hamer if R2 zoning can have multiple family with fewer 42 homes. The Interim City Manager stated yes, that that was the zoning for double bungalow type 43 homes, which results in fewer units. Gondorchin commented that these were premium lots. 4 Commissioner Faust stated that lot 20 could be an executive style on the point. He pointed out that 45 2930 Old Highway 8 is currently R1, and the other four lots are zoned R2.
