Also present for the presentation were Mr. Hiebel and Mr. Bowerman of the Planning Board. Mr. Roger Bernu and Mike Peterson of the Bernu Construction Company, 7420 Unity Avenue North, presented the final plans for a three story office build- ing they proposed to build on Lots 11-12, Block 1 (New Plat) of the St. Anthony Office Park. The builder pointed out changes in the plans which had been made in accordance with suggestions made by the Planning Board which included a reduction of the number of parking stalls from 108 to 88; the addition of a service delivery area as well as handicapped stalls near the building entrance and a trash area positioned near the air conditioning unit. He showed a colored drawing of the building which would be located in the southeast corner of the office park formed by Highway 8 and County Road C. Mr. Bernu explained that his company completely finishes a building at the outset and places partitions for tenants according to their needs. He estimated that there might be as many as 25 tenants in the building. Follow- ing further discussions on the parking and the type of sign allowed by City ordinance the following motion was made: Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Sauer to grant a building permit for the Bernu office building as presented, subject to the approval of the fire and building departments and the Building Inspector and • to refer the landscaping and signing plans back to the Planning Board for their approval. Motion carried. Mr. Mike Donatelle presented his plans for the machine shop he and his brother proposed to build at Chandler Drive and Foss Road including the lighting, landscaping and parking plans. When questioned about his intentions of temporarily renting half of the building and whether the parking spaces would be sufficient to provide for the tenant's needs, Mr. Donatelle said he would have to be very selective in renting the space so as to avoid any such problems. Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Sauer to grant a building permit for the Donatelle machine shop as presented, subject to the approval of the fire department and the Building Inspector, and to refer the lands- caping, lighting and signing plans to the Planning Board for their approval. Motion carried. Mr. & Mrs. Dale Michaeloff, 906 W. County Road D, Apt. 233, showed the Council the letters they had received from the FHA and IDS indicating refusal of financing for either a single family or double bungalow to be built on the southwest corner of Silver Lake Road and 37th Avenue N.E. and the couple requested a change of zoning of the lot to "restricted light commercial". Mayor Miedtke said the Council would have to have a proposal of a specific use of the property before acting on their request and said if they returned ip to the Planning Board with a specific rezoning request, the Board might take into consideration the mortgageability of the lot as they considered that property in their review of the zoning ordinances. Mrs. Michaeloff cited several instances in law under which she felt the matter • might be referred to a judge for a decision and the City Attorney urged the couple to weigh the matter carefully with their attorney before entering into legal action which could prove costly to the applicants and to the City. Mrs. Michaeloff's request for a return of her building permit application fee was referred to the City Manager. Motion by Mayor Miedtke, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to direct the City Manager and the City Attorney to draft a letter from the Council and Planning Board urging the FHA. to reconsider their refusal of financing for an R-1 or R-2 dwelling on the Michaeloff property and that the consideration of the use of such types of property be referred to the Planning Board with the suggestion that the mortgageability of such property be taken into account when the group are redefining the zoning ordinance. Motion carried. Mr. Rick Johnson, 2582 Long Lake Road, Roseville, requesting permission to build a new home over a city storm sewer that runs through Lot 11, Block 11 Belden Terrace Addition appeared before the Council next. Mr. Vickrey commented on the recommendations contained in his letter of August 27, 197+ to the Council regarding the request to build and stated that the Planning Board minutes of August 201 197h were in error in stating that the request had been "disapproved of by the City Attorney" saying that his firm had "strongly advised against the approval of the building plans by the Building Inspector" . He pointed out the conditions under which an appeal was • being made to the Planning Board as the Board of Appeals and Mr. Johnson was asked if he still wanted to appear before the Board of Appeals. Mr. Johnson said he was withdrawing his request for a hearing before the Board. Mrs. McGinn gave a short resume of the seminar of National League of Cities she had attended the previous week and will give a formal presentation to the Council in October. The members of the Planning Board and Mr. Fornell left at 9:10 P.M. to work on the revision of the zoning ordinance. Mr. & Mrs. Chester Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive N.F. had requested that "excess interest" on assessments be applied to pay off the assessments re- maining against their property and Mr. Dul.gar and Mr. Comstock explained how any interest charged to the property owners in excess of that paid for bonds is used to cover any underassessment of improvement projects or placed in the construction funds for future improvement projects. Mr. Dulgar told Mrs. Nelson he could find no record of a stated intention of the 1961 Council to apply any differences in interest rates to pay off assessments. He pointed out the impossibility of actually tracking down the specific use of such monies but mentioned several instances of use of such funds in starting improvement projects. Motion by Mayor Miedtke, seconded by Councilman Sauer to deny Mr. & Mrs. Nelson's request for application of interest to their assessment payments. Motion carried.
