The lot has R-3 zoned property and Light Industrial. The 38 only phone call staff received was from a woman hoping to have some type 39 of townhome put in that area. Proposal is to put two buildings with eight 40 townhomes each. If rezoning is approved,. Harstad will have to come back 41 with the full detail plan. Right now just to consider rezoning. Staff feels it is 42 a reasonable request. 43 44 Commissioner Murphy asked if any type of a needs analysis had been done 45 and how this type of decision would effect the tag base. PLANNING COMMISSION 2 MINUTES. October 16, 1990 1 2 VanderHeyden reported that a developer would do this type of analysis 3 usually before building. There is nothing standing vacant. 4 5 Brownell asked if the townhomes are for owner occupancy, therefore being 6 homesteaded, or if they are going to be rental. 7 8 The developer reported that they will be owner occupied. 9 10 The application requires that a map be submitted showing the land proposed 11 to be rezoned and all lands within 350 feet of its boundaries. 12 13 VanderHeyden said that there are two sides light industrial and two sides 14 residential. 15 16 Chairman Madden questioned whether traffic on Foss Road has been studied 17 and indicated the traffic is already heavy on the 30 foot wide residential 18 street. 19 20 Madden pointed out that the building on the west side of the site is using the 21 south side of their property as a junk yard; and he recommended the City 22 look into the matter. 23 24 He suggested that there could be access from Chandler Drive as well as Foss 25 Road to help the traffic problem because Chandler is much wider. Madden 26 questioned whether rezoning guaranteed that townhomes would be on the 27 property. 28 29 It was not determined which zoning provides the City with the greater 30 amount of revenue.when developed. 31 32 VanderHeyden said that Harstad was in the process of buying the property. 33 34 Murphy discussed the question of the site development, considering the lot 35 area per unit.. 36 37 Hansen said that the number and size of units should wait for future 38 discussion after the rezoning. 39 40 Faust questioned whether the two residential homes that are in light 41 industrial are owner occupied and if there is a plan to move them or rezone. 42 They could conceivably be resold and resold. 43 44 Public hearing opened at 7:51. 45 PLANNING COMMISSION 3 MINUTES, October 16, 1990 1 Forrest Harstad presented blueprints, photos and diagrams of his proposal 2 for thepatio townhomes. Their engineer found no conflicts with variances. 3 He said the market value would vary between $59,900 and $79,900. 4 5 Harstad confirmed that the plan is the same as one in Coon Rapids. 6 7 Bruce O'Brien, president.of Townhomes of St. Anthony, said that he was 8 concerned that the area not be for industrial use. He said the townhome 9 proposal is mostly favorable. Questions to the developer are with regard to 10 fire lanes, single car garages, parking and the amount of land available. 11 12 Madden clarified that the hearing was to approve rezoning only. O'Brien 13 would like to see the property rezoned regardless of the developer. 14 15 Aleda Muller, secretary/treasurer of the group asked if there was any 16 consideration of a west exit. 17 18 Harstad pointed out that there may be a grading problem making it 19 physically impossible for change in the roads. 20 21 Muller also asked if there were individual driveways. 22 23 Harstad said there were three driveways. 24 25 Hearing closed at 8:15 p.m. 26 27 Werenicz said that he favors the rezoning. 28 29 Madden expressed concern about the traffic flow. He commented that each 30 residence is responsible for five or six trips on the street per day. Supports 31 rezoning with a strong recommendation for consideration of access from the 32 west on Chandler Drive which is more capable of handling the traffic. 33 34 Hansen favors the rezoning and said the traffic could be an issue with light 35 industrial. 36 37 Murphy inquired about the history of the property. City staff was unsure. 38 39 Brownell moved to recommend approval of the request for rezoning the 40 property at 3816 Foss Road from industrial to R3; and recommend that the 41 approval not be granted and made final until such time as a final plat plan is 42 approved by the City Council for the rezoning. We find that this would be 43 the best and highest use for the property at this time. 44 PLANNING COMMISSION 4 MINUTES, October 16, 1990 1 Madden seconded and offered an amendment that the developer and the 2 City be encouraged to cooperatively investigate an access from Chandler to 3 this land. Brownell accepted the amendment. 4 Motion carried unanimously. 5 6 MISCELLANEOUS: 7 8 Planning Institutes: 9 VanderHeyden informed the Commissioners that the information for the 10 Planning Institutes would be included in the next packets and they are 11 encouraged to attend--January 26, Brooklyn Park and March 29, Earle Brown 12 Institute. 13 14 Hansen and Madden were reminded that November 30 is the deadline for 15 applications for the Planning Commission. 16 17 Motion by Hansen, second by Brownell to adjourn at 8:30. 18 Motion carried unanimously. 19 20 Respectfully submitted, 21 22 Dorothy Fleming, 23 Commission Secretary ainthou i flhe DATE : APPROVAL = October 12 1990 TO : Planning Commission Members FROM : Sue VanderHe den Assistant ITEM : REZONING PETITION Forrest and Marty Harstad of Harstad Companies, 1900 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton, are petitioning the City to rezone the property at 3816 Foss Road, from Light Industrial to R-3 Townhomes.

Burt City Manager =TEM : STREET LIGHT PETITION I received a petition from residents of the 3500block on Skycroft Drive for mid-block street lights. Of the 30 properties, only one resident was not in favor of the petition. This request is for three street lights with fiberglass poles and underground wiring. The type of pole and underground wiring is above the City's standard and as a result, much more expensive. This area does not have power lines in the front, so it makes it difficult to run power to the pole unless it is underground. To offset this additional cost, the neighbors have indicated they would pay the installation charges and agree to pay the annual difference in maintenance and power costs. I recommend that the Council officially receive the petition and direct staff to meet with Northern States Power and research the cost and feasibility. I will then ask the City Attorney to determine the best way to assess the installation and annual utility charges back to the resident. by �99r . -4n9 VOG� H Z ; Wit-' H coovnr4 � E � o � xe ozrr �o R+ O to \ � Z 00 � H V x o z y c LA z 352II 3530 3532 3534 xD H o aN �w„ GGY& I�T-- - L^ � DAVE HAYDEa _ r ° ' 788-3409 ALLEN & MARILYN EBERLEII ll —.__- 789-8395 "- ;KATHY & MARK JURROVICH ? - --_.....---------- ----- ---- — "' 781-0351 r� w LEAH & JEROME WENKER "' _.._ .... . .. . --------.--_--_--_- N C11 789-5897 ^' mow„ JIM & MONICA WEATHERBEE -"- 781-5977 w n , RICK & MONICA MANDELL Ln ........ ----.__...-,- --_.--- ANNA & JACOB p -w„ ERNIE BURCH 789-7711 .7J w781-6495 H WAYNE & GLADYS MIKKOLA --`--- 789-2186 00 ty Ln:MARIS & LINNEA GROVENDER ;, w:781-4693 H LINDA & HAROLD GONIER 788-3010 t,y w:JERRY & NANCY DYMANCK �._ .ELIZABETH & LAURA - - - - - ------ - :788-1721 • PAT & BARBARA ENNEN ,,, —------- FLORENCE BENNETT Ln:MRS.
