.....ORARDUII DATE: May 4, 1992 FROM: Steve Sarkozy Phil Carlson TO: RE: PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, April 29, 1992 Bill Penk, Charles Schatz; CSM Developers Jim Cooperman, Cooperman Archts. CSM intends to develop the fo~er Ruan site at County Road C and Long Lake Road with an office/service building similar to the one proposed previously by the Everest Group. Everest has decided not to develop the property. The site plan and building proposed by CSM are almost identical in every respect to the design that the City approved for Everest, and it is our opinion that the changes are minor and that the previous Special Use Pe~it approval for the office/service use is applicable to CSM. 1. We discussed all aspects of the design standards and the only area of concern is the proposed building materials in the rear of the building. CSM had proposed plain concrete block there, whereas the Everest design had a significant band of brick carried from the front around to the rear of the building. CSM will revise the design and resubmit. We also discussed Rice Creek Watershed pe~itting requirements. We indicated we would write a letter if needed to Rice Creek indicating that the site plan, landscaping and drainage are identical for this project as for the pe~it they approved for Everest. 2. Diana Farrell, 987 W. County Road C-2 The Farrells live in and own a home which they have converted to a duplex to house their in-laws, on the corner of County Road C-2 and Riclunond, which is an unbuilt street right-of-way. She and her husband want to add another unit to the house to make ita threeplex and would need to rezone to do so. The lot the house sits on is 27,000 square feet, more than enough to make two standards lots. It was our opinion that a rezoning to a medium density zoning would not be approved and we suggested they subdivide the lot instead and apply for a rezoning to R-2 for the existing duplex to bring it into compliance. This would give them three units on their property in a much more desirable manner than the threeplex.
