Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Winiecki reported on recent Council actions on items of interest to the Commission. PRELIM. DISC. The Planner reported tha.t he had been contacted by REEVES PROPERTY a representative of SISA Homes, regarding the 4.5 acre SNELLING & HWY 96 parcel of land on the southwest corner of North Snelling and Highway 96. He explained that in 1985 application was made to rezone this parcel to R-4 for a 48-unit apartment building: Planning Commission recommended approval, by a split vote, and Council denied based on the fact the area is identified as an R-3, lower density district, by the comprehensive plan. Miller stated the proposal presented contained construction of four 8-unit buildings, reducing the density to 32 units. These buildings would have approximately a 100 ft. x 48 ft. building footprint, with an interior tuck-under garage; owner occupied with amenities in each building (sauna, . laundry facilities, etc.). The Council suggested R-3 may be acceptable; this would fall somewhere between the R-3 and R-4 density permitted. He noted that this proposal would still have to be rezoned to R-4; if this development were not constructed, the R-4 zoning would remain with tne land. Commission disclosed the possibility of a Planned Unit Development. Miller commented that, in his opinion, the PUD approach allows the Commission and Council to maintain control and place conditions on the development; he stated the Village Attorney may disagree with this opinion. After discussion, Commission consensus was that they would favor a Planned Unit Development approach, with the lessor density as discussed this evening, rather than a straight rezoning application: also commented that an application for this parcel should be carefully planned for compatibility with the development of the adjacent Church property. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Savage, seconded by Martin, that the meeting adjourn at 9:05 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) Chairman Robert Curtis .
