Minut.s of R.gular Council K..ting Jun. 27, 1983 Page Four '1 . R.sid.nt (name not givan) said that the Chatham ho.es ar. tredition.l vs. the experimental "dome". Vern Masaey. 1675 Ch.th.m Avenue, s.id he agree. with Richard Ahern: whether one hou.e i. more' .ound, or whatever, i. not the i..ue. M....y .aid we'd like you a. a neighbor: a.ked why Hagen can't build a hou.e th.t fit. the neighborhood? Re.ident (name not g1ven)suggested that a dome would look b.tt.r on a larger lot; noted that the lots in Chatha. are s.sll. Hagen .aid this particulsr lot qas a closed in bsck yard: privacy . is available and provides for south facing windows, which will give lots of light, also we will not need drapes. Resident said the circle does not fit wh.t is already there: we ar. proud of our home. and our neighborhood: feel it is a community by itself, end we want to keep it that w.y: feels this do.e will look better in an open are.. Jeff Stewart. 1687 Chatha. Avenue, said he h.s some concerns: - not sure if it will, but feels it will devaluate his hom.. - feels it does not fit in the Chatha. ar.a. - noted th.t w. were told by Ban Con that one of the 8 or so styles of homes would b. built on these lots in Chatham - has been concerned that a hou.e would be b~ilt on the lot next door to him that would not fit after Ban Con pulled out. Mr. (na.e inaudible) said we were given. number of house designs to ehoo.e from: we were told .11 hous.. would be of these de.igns - a controlled environment. I feel we are dec.iv.d by the dev.loper, or .omebody, if something .lse is built. Peter McC.ll, 1595 Ch.tham Avenus, s.id he feels this proposed do.e is . whole n.ighborhood probl.m: house do.s not fit into a traditional type n.1ghborhood like Chatha.. Woodburn ssid thes. design. (copies of which he h.ld in biB hsnd) wer. part of intent of Council'. deliberatioa when con.id.ring the Chath.. dev.lopment .s a Plann.d Unit Dev.lopment. Hag.n s.id when B.n Con sold the lot., tbey gave up this right of control of types of home. to be built: developer. h.ve control of own lots. ; Hicks expl.ined that Chath.. is . Pl.nned Unit Developm.nt: lot. are smaller: setb.cks .r. different from tho.. required by ordinance: Ch.tham is controlled by a Sp.cial Us. Per.it: the f.ct th.t Ban Con sold. few of the lots is irrelevant. Hagen ref.rred to Section VIII G of the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinanc., Planned Unit Develop.ent Permits; noted that the purpo.. and intent is to encourage the use of contemporary land planning principles, etc.~ Woodburn explained that this was part of the deliberation when the City consid.red the PUD of Chath..: not.d that Council also int.r- prets the ordinance and is e.power.d to int.rpret the intent of what w.. approv.d. explained th.t the Special Use Permit goes with the lsnd, not the d.veloper. McAllister asked how the do.e would affect value. of the neighborhood. Woodburn said th.re may b. a short ter. imm.diate i.pact, and possibly rais.d .y.brows, but .aid h. has no facts as, to wh.ther it would aff.ct ho.. valu.s. Hicks moved, seconded by Woodburn. that Counci I deny the Bui Iding Permit because the PUD implied legislative intent to follow the plans presented at the Public Hearing. The motion was ruled to be out of order. -4-
