Minutes of Regular Counci I Meeting Page four February 28, 1977 Mark Peterson - Council should think of the young people in the Arden #3 area as well as the adults; ideal place to bring up kids -- set off from the busy wbrld; College Is Ignoring the feelings of the adults and kids In the neighborhood. Ken Lukaska reported that the College tennis courts (parking lot) were loaded with cars last Saturday; traffic wll I be bad on Lydia. Crichton noted that Northwestern and Bethel Col leges have equal pro- tection under the law; tonight we are not talking about Northwestern Col lege's application for an auditorium, we are attempting to control non-residential uses in a residential district. Bethel College and Northwestern College are In the same category, as far as zoning Is concerned. . Mr. Kahnke noted that Northwestern, he believes, operates a radio station from the grounds - a commercial use. Crichton said this can be checked, and Northwestern advised that commercial use is not per- mitted in R-I. Density maximums were discussed; ordinance limits number of units/acre; possibility of limiting number of people/acre was considered; If appropriate, limits could be Incorporated In proposed zoning ordinance. Attorney Lynden was requested by Council to pursue legality of control- ling the usual number of persons/acre at anyone time. The proposed Zoning Map, as amended to date, was reviewed and the following,addltlonal changes were approved:. I. 8-1 designation at NE corner of Old Highway 10 and County Road E (Llndey's), be changed to B-2. 2. 8-1 designation at N.E. of Cleveland and Co. Rd. D (Gonnella), be changed to B-2. Crichton moved, seconded by Hanson, that map as drawn be part of the proposed ordinance when passed. Motion carried unanimously. Woodburn stated that the area east of the Village Hail to Hamllne Avenue, In his opinion, is a logical area for a B-1 situation; set-back from Highway 96 Is Inadequate for residential development; depth of this property Is adaptable for "low key" office use; difficult to have numer- ous IndivIdual access points onto Highway 96, unless an access road Is provided parallel to Highway 96. Wingert moved, seconded by Woodburn, that the Proposed Ordinance be approved and adopted. Motion did not carry (WIngert, WOOdburn, Crichton voting In fav~r of the motion; ~anson and Crepeau voting In opposltlon- requires 4 votes out of 5 to approve the Zoning Ordinance). PLANNING COMMISSiON RECOMMENDATiONS: . Case No. 77-7, Variance - Au~ust Construction Company Wingert referred Council to site and house plans for proposed construc- tion on southeast corner of Cleveland and Stowe Avenues; question to be resolved Is whether proposed house, as positioned, can be determined to front on Stowe Avenue. Wingert noted that Board of Appeals and Planning Commission recommend that Stowe be considered the front; therefore, no variances are required. Wingert moved, seconded by Crichton, that Council approve the designa- tion of Stowe as the front of the house. Motion carried unanimously. Case No. 77-2, EdQewater South Addition - Preliminary Plat Wingert referred Council to proposed Preliminary Plat of Edgewater South, noting that all lots meet or exceed lot size requirements; Rice Creek Watershed District approves the concept; sewer and water are available; drainage plan has not been prepared to date. in discussion, Crichton expressed concern of more streets crossing the City-owned trail (under the high lines); suggested that Edgewater not cross, but turn and parallel the power lines to the northeast and connect with Jerrold,'or cul-de-sac at the power lines. -4-
