Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, August 12, 1985 Page four In discussion, Miller suggested this approach would not require amendment of the Special Use Permit; feels the Special Use Permit is a "procedural approach" rather than a "land use approach", to assure that the site is developed appropriately. It was noted that the Special Use Permit includes the apartments, as well as the single family homes on Waldon Place and Hunters' Court, which are not "cluster homes". Because the procedure described is not to include these portions of Hunter's Park, amendment of the Special Use Permit was considered to be necessary in order to assure that the Special Use Permit for all of Hunter's Park will "hold up". .... . Frank Pistotnik, 1163 Benton Way, said there have been a number of applications to the Homeowners' Association for building permits for alterations. Pistotnik said he feels the residents of Hunte~'s Park will go along with . the guidelines set up by Council; stated their Homeowners' Association looks at the aesthetics when reviewing requests for changes, and how the changes will affect the neighbors. Miller explained that the most limiting factor will be building coverage; most lots won't tolerate more than a small addition; noted that some lots are very large. Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council propose an amendment to the Special Use Permit for Hunter's Park which will allow expansion of the "cluster homes" within the R-3 district requirements by Building Permit, sub- ject to prior approval by the Hunter's Park Homeowners' Association; expansions requiring variances to be subject to the variance procedure after Homeowners' Association approval of plans. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Hicks moved, seconded by Sather, that the fees be waived and City pay costs of the Public Hearing, to be held by the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously.

Cable TV Construction on Katie Lane - Mark Matthews, Group W Cable Council was referred to letter from Mark Matthews (9/9/85) requesting permis- sion to connect Katie Lane with cable service from the trunk line on Cleveland Avenue, which is part of the New Brighton trunk, not Arden Hills. Matthews explained this connection can be made at a cost of $3,000; cost to connect to Arden Hills trunk would be aDout $30,000. It was asked if Katie Lane residences could be connected to the Arden Hills trunk line on Stowe Avenue. Matthews said he had not looked into Stowe Avenue as an option, but he will do so. Matthews said he was pursuing a temporary connection for a Katie Lane resident who is interested in getting cable service. Matthews said he will return, if Stowe Avenue is not found to be a viable option. .
