19 NOVEMBER 3RD SPECIAL HEARING ON ARKELL PROPOSAL
20
21 In reference to the above, Commissioner Madden said he was concerned that some
22 of the people present for the hearing had not understood the Commission intended
• 23 to take action on the proposal after the recess. Commissioner Hansen said
24 his own impression was that everyone perceived the project had been returned
25 to senior rental and their goal had been achieved. He also recalled the
26 Chair trying to tell the crowd as they were leaving that*the Commission
27 still had a decision to make that evening.
28
29 Mr. Childs concurred, adding that those he had talked to after the hearing
30 seemed to have no misconceptions about that point. That impression had
31 been supported, he said, by the fact that none of those persons who were
32 present for the hearing returned for the Council consideration, November 10th.
33
34 Motion by Werenicz, seconded by Madden to approve with the following changes:
35
36 Page 2, line 32: Insert "a" between "represented" and "W'.

39 Motion carried unanimously.

10 feet, both of which would,be above minimum size.

15 Opponents: none and Mr. Childs said none of the numerous property owners
16 who had been notified of the request had called him before

27 Commission Recommends Lot Split Approval
28
29 Motion by Bowerman, seconded by Werenicz to recommend the Council grant
30 the request from John L. Hertog, 2521 St. Anthony Road for subdivision without
31 platting. This would allow the applicant to split a parcel 20 feet X 120
32 feet from the north side of Lots 5 and 6, -Block 2, Clark and Kings Hennepin
33 Gardens (2521 St.. Anthony Road) to be attached to Lot 4, Block 2, Clark
34 and Kings Gardens (3246 Edward Street) for the purposes of constructing
35 a new single family home on the thus enlarged lot at 3246 Edward Street
36 and removing the structure currently on said lot.
37
38 In recommend approval , the Commission finds that:
39
40 * the request appears to be in order;
42 * no one appeared to speak against the proposal at the Commission hearing
43 and staff had reported receiving no calls for or against the request prior
44 to the hearing;
45 * by allowing the lot split, the City would be creating two lots both of
46 'of which would meet minimum standards for lot sizes in St. Anthony.
47
48 Motion carried unanimously.

'35 COMMISSIONER BOWERMAN BIDS FAREWELL TO FELLOW COMMISSIONERS
36
37 Mr. Childs had informed the Commissioners that there was a possibility that
38 lack of business to transact might prompt cancellation of their December
39 meeting. Although he .had promised the City Manager that he would be willing
40 to serve in January -if his replacement was not found in time for the Commission
41 hearing, Commissioner Bowerman made the following statement. He said he
42 wanted the other Commissioners to -,know how much he appreciated their friendliness
43 towards him their enthusiasm and cooperation and "all th.e. fun we've had .
44 together over the years." Commissioner Bowerman indicated he would be
45 very sorry to leave the community he had resided in- for more than 23 years
46 but did not expect his. contact with St. Anthony to end just because he was
47 moving a few miles away.
