CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES March 15, 1977 The meeting was called to order at 7 :37 P.M. by Chairman Hiebel. Present at roll call: Marks, Letourneau, Hiebel, Rymarchick and Cowan Absent: Johnson, Bowerman Also Present: J. Fornell, Administrative Assistant Motion by Mr. Marks, seconded by Mr. Letourneau to approve the February minutes as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Cowan was designated to represent the Planning Board at the March 29th City Council meeting. The public hearing on the Richard and Phyllis Fudali request to re- zone Lots 17 and 18 , Block 12 , Mounds View Acres Second Addition from "L.I. " to "R-4" was opened at 7 :40 P.M. Mr. Hiebel explained the public hearing procedure and Mr. Fornell ex- plained the legal requirements of application and notification. No one present had failed to receive a notice of the hearing. Mr. Fudali then spoke at length on his request. He stated he would seek no variances and he would build and own the building for probably five years. He cited the attractiveness of Lakehill Apartments, which he intends to build something comparable to that building and comple- mentary to the holding pond known locally as Mirror Lake. The type of construction he is considering is Class I concrete, however, he said his plans may change in that regard due to the economics of con- struction. The approximately 30 unit building would be oriented to the pond, contain approximately 50% one bedroom units , and 50% two bedroom units . The units are proposed to have separate heating and air conditioning units. Mr. Fudali felt that the present "L.I. " zoning was not the highest and best use of the land and that the $500 ,000.00 - $750,000 .00 building would generate more taxes than many potential light industrial users of the land. He cited his good track record of building in St. Anthony and other local communities, including his current "Meadow Run" development in Fridley.
