� � August 4, 1976 PLANNIP�G REPORT CASE NUMBER: 997-76 APPLICA��T: Dwayne E. Albrecht, 2200 Doswell Street, St. Peul , MP; LOCATION: South of County Road C, Wesierly of Namline (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Rezoning from R-1 to I-1 and Soecial Use Permit for a Contractor's Yard PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. 'ihe property i�� question was occupied for many years by the "Century Fence Company" who used the property for the storage of fencing supplies and equipment and fabrication of fencing materials. The prcaerty is enclosed with a chain lir�k fence. You will note from the Zoning pattern indicated on the map at the left that the northerly portion of the land as well as that contiguous to the west and the east is zoned industrial. The southerly portion, however, is zoned residential and the Century Fence people occupied the southerly portion as a"non-conforming use". From an aesthetic . standpoint, it can be said that the Cen±ury Fence operation was a constant problem in as much as there was little attempt to keep the southerl�� portion of the property in an orderly fashion. All of this has now been cleaned up by Mr. Albrecht, who proposed to purchase the property and operate his "Landscape-Construction" business from this site. 3. Mr. Albrecht operates "ALBRECHT LA��DSCAPE", located at 1523 Cano Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota. According to Mr. Albrecht, he specializes in the design, construction, and r�aintenance of Torro Automatic Lawn Spri��ler Systems. He has prepared a very general site plan indicating the propnsed use of the land wherein approximately the southerly 116 feet of the property would be used for"r.ursery stock holding". One hundred feet north of that (up to the existing zoning line) would be occupied by a proposed 40 foot by 60 foot building and employee parking. The westerly 15 feet of the property contiguous to the single family home is proposed to be landscaped to function as a screen to the contiguous single family residence. We suggest that this proposed screening be continued on the south line of the property as well, so as to screen the property from the R-3 land imnediately contiguous along the south line (see sketch). 4. hir. Albrecht indicates that he has reviewed his proposal with the contiguous single family homeowner, who we understand, endorses his concept and his cleaning up of the property from its former condition.
