VILLAGE OF ST.- ANTHONY
Planning Boerd- Minutes
May 6, 1963
The special meeting of the St. Anthony Village Planning Board was called to
order by the Chairman at 8:00 o'clock P.M.
Present: Dougherty, Skovran, Hansen, Rosinek, Coulter,, Di.Carlo
Absent: Rocks
The Chairman announced that this was the time and place to hold a public
hearing on the request for the rezoning of the property described as follows:
An area bounded on the Horth by 34th Ave. N.E., on the South by 33rd
Ave. N.E., on the Westlb-y Stinson Blvd, and on the East by the West Line
of Registered Land Survey No. 2119 excluding the following described par'-
cels: Registered Land Survey No. 196; the South 228.3 feet of the West
198 feet of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 69 the North 150 feet of the South
660 feet of the West 133 feet of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 6.
The requested change is from- the present contercial zoning to multiple
dwelling zoning. , Also ,requested is. a variance, from_ the ,land area requirements in
Ordinance No. 66.
Mr. Wargo, representing Century Capital, Inc., presented the proposed de-
velopment. The Chairman opened the hearing for discussion. Twenty-two property
owners who were within 100 feet of the, area in question, were notified of the
hearing. Of the twenty-two, eleven- were opposed to the rezoning,. 10 were not
present at the hearing, and one was deceased.
After .hear ing ail the continents from the floor the hearing was closed.
It was moved by Coulter to recommend the Council grant the request for the
area requirement variance and the .request for the zoning variance on the following
basis:
1. The property in question is presently zoned commercial. The request
to change the zoning to ,mu.ltiple dwelling would ,be a substantial up-grading of
the use of this p-1.rrerty. A multiple dwelling complex such as the one proposed
by . Century Cap--*.al, Inc. would constitute. the highest and best use for this
property and would'be more 's.n keeping with the surrounding development.
2. A multiple dwelling complex of this size would be of great benefit
to the over all Village tax structure.
3. The proposed complex. would be a marked improvement over the present.
• use of this property.
4. The fireproof construction of these buildings would decrease the
possibility of fire even in this complex with a _higher density of 'units.

5. The complex uses only 19% of total land area for building purposes,
which leaves 81% to be used for parking and recreation area. This appears to be
more than adequate to permit a substantial distance between buildings to provide
ventilation and sizable yard areas.
The motion was seconded by DiCarlo.
