REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 7-25-94 ITEM NO.: F-7 Department Approval: (2J Manager Reviewed: ~cl Agenda Section: Item Description: Hearing Sandra Kentfield request for rezoning from R-2 to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a beauty salon at 1700 N. Hamline Avenue. BACKGROUND 1. David Nelson owns two lots at 1716 N. Hamline Avenue North. In 199;-1he City rezoned Mr. Nelson's property from R-4 to R-2. Mr. Nelson's property was originally platted into two separate lots but were subsequently combined into one tax parcel. In 1993, the City approved a lot division conforming to the original platting. Sandra Kentfield is now proposing to purchase this lot and rezone from R-2 to Planned Unit Development for a beauty salon. 2. The lot under consideration is 16, 740 sq. ft. in size, is zoned R-2, two famHy homes, and is currently vacant. It has 93 feet of frontage along Hamline Avenue and is 180 feet deep. It is one lot north of Ham line Avenue and adjacent to Baber Auto Repair Service to the south, Mr. Nelson's single family residence to the north, across HamHne Avenue from single family homes and to the east, the rear lot line is adjacent to parking areas and multi- family apartment structures. 3. When Ms. Kentfield approached City staff about rezoning this land for commercial purposes and her intended use, it was suggested that historically the City ofRosevi11e has not granted many rezonings without knowing what specifically what the use would be. Based on this, it was suggested that the planned unit development format be used to specifically call out Ms. Kentfield's proposed use. It was pointed out that a planned unit development eliminates the possibility of other uses of the property without first going through a public hearing process to amend the planned unit development. It was also discussed that because this site would serve as a transition between the commercial uses to the south and the residential neighborhood to the north, that creating a residential feel to the site design would be of utmost importance. The proposed facility would be approximately 1900 sq. ft. in size with a residential pitched roof with asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, and vinyl siding. The site plan is indicating 18 parking spaces, located on the south side of the property adjacent to the existing commercial property. The green / ~~~ '0 ~
