He stated that there are arteries to feed the project and he could get an engineering estimate regarding this. Mr. Re i n displayed an architectural drawl ng of the complex. He won de red whe re in Arden Hills would multi-family dwellings not . increase traffic, sl nce the counc i I will only consider multi- family dwellings in residential districts. He believes 9 - 10 thousand cars travel on Cleveland Avenue in a 24 hour span - the complex would really add a sma II percentage to the traffic load. . No.4 - Mr. Rein stated that all site plans that have been requested have- been submitted. The cost of supplying site plans and construction plans Is not feasible unless the council gives some Indication of granting the permit. He said they will comply with all codes and regulations of Arden Hills and wi II request no waivers; they will comply In every respect. Mr. Rein further stated that he does not know of any deficiencies In the presentation to the Planning Commission. He reported that construction of the complex will be the highest quality within a three mile radius of that site. A buffer zone of 185' will be provided in a II directions and will be used for single family construction; none of the present homes would be neighbors of the multi-family housing. He stated that 51% of a II housing construction today Is mUlti-family. These matters were then discussed by the council and additional questions were raised by various members of the counc I I . The mayor In qui re d into the buffer zone suggested by Mr. Rein and asked whether this had been proposed to the Planning Commission. Councilman Hollen- horst pointed out that there was a question whether the site was suit- able for single family dwellings, and, also, commented that people at the Planning Commission public hearing were overwhelmingly against the application. With reference to the site plan, Atty. Courtney pointed out that this was a prel imlnary requirement under the Housing Policy, that apparently an adequate site plan had not been submitted to the Planning Commission, and It was up to the applicant whether or not he chose to meet the requirement. He also stated the Housing Policy and the Comprehensive Plan, as proposed by the Planning Commission, and approved by the counc II must be considered by the Planning Commission and the council along with the Zoning Ordinance. Atty. Gray stated he felt they should not be required to present a specific plan without first being told that the council was generally In favor of the application since specific plans would be expensive. ~~i~!t the Planning Commission should first consider . any additional material to be submitted. /> After additional discussion, Counc t lft:repeau moved that the matter be re-referred to the Planning Commission to take such additional . information from the applicant as he chose to submit, with the Planning Commission to decide whether or not a new public hearing should be held. This was seconded by Councilman Hollenhorst and the motion carried. REPORT OF ATTORNEY VINCENT P. COURTNEY ~~~~Lt~~~_~~p-p-~t_~L~~_~_I~~~~t~~_~t_~Lq~~~_~Ls~~~~ 1968 to the Atty.
