P & Z Meeting Minutes Page 2 February y 7 , 1989 Mr. Opp presented a third alternative plan, which he feels may be more what P & Z would like to see. He stated that, in his opinion, a wider driveway for Parcel B (see map of plan, which is attached to and made a part of these minutes) would be more desirable than making Parcel A conform to lot size. He explained that the north lot line created for Parcel A would put the present garage only 9 feet from the rear lot line, but he sees no other ordinance conflict. He would like two years from the time of his Special Use Permit approval by the City Council to erect the apartment building. He plans for a nine -unit, two and one -half story building at this time, but wants to remain flexible and may decide on a four or six unit building, depending on the tax situation. Chairperson Tourville asked for comments from the Commission - - Lindgren likes this plan, and asked if there will still be a driveway off of Progress Road. Opp said as long as he owns both properties. - Drilling has no problem if it is two lots and they both meet minimum lot size. - Welk likes it. It is a better design. - Vermeulen likes it much better than the other two plans that had been presented at the December and January meetings. - Tourville stated that it offers possibilities, if the present buildings on Parcel A are ever removed, it could be used for something else. The Commission again mentioned possible commercial use. The City Clerk /Administrator, Tamara Miltz- Miller, was present and asked P & Z to be sure and include the contingencies that the County be asked to approve of the driveway onto Main Street, and that if the present garage were ever torn down, a new one would have to meet the setback requirements. She also expressed concern that a "blanket" Special Use Permit may not be acceptable to City Council, and that a permit should be drawn up between Mr. Opp and the City. Motion by Drilling, second by Vermeulen, to approve a lot split for 1745 Main Street creating Parcels A and B as in the latest proposal dated February 7, 1989, and recommend its approval to the City Council contingent upon Mr. Opp checking with the County for approval of the driveway for Parcel B, and contingent upon if the garage on Parcel A were ever rebuilt, it would be rebuilt within the setback requirements; reasons for granting the lot split are: 1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or
