� � A 9 • �iEM0�2ANDUM RE: rlargolis Request _�. I 20 January 1984 Page 4 constructed in good Laith in accordance with the plan in a timely fashion. The �econd is that Mr, Margolis's staff operates the facility in accordance with the proposed terms and with a conscious effort toward keeping the appearance and the function of the site compatible with the residential areas to the north and east and with the visual effect relating to the extensive traffic on Larpenteur Avenue. We have had considerable discussion with Mr. Margolis regarding the longer range use of the property. We have suggested that it is very important to not think in terms of expanding the use of the site as a landscape contractors yard. In particular, there should be no extensiv� investment of further striictures tending to make the property more difficult to convert to other usES. Mr. Margolis agrees that the ultimate use of the property should be for residential purgoses, and that its location relevant to the park and the residential ar�a makes this use a practical one. We have encouraged him to seek potential residential developers who may wish to acquire the site and convert it to residential use. Such residences would take the form of some type of multi-family use because of the �oor soil conditions that Exist on the site. Such a use could be concentrated to the south and west using a Planned Unit Development approach, making it readily compatible to the r�ar yards of the contiguous residential prop�rties. This is another reason for making it reasonable to invest in good plant material now as an ul�iinate screen between the single family residences and the rest of the property. This Lype of dev�lopment program, we suggest, is a reasonable and practical objective to pursue in the joint interests of the neighbors, Mr. Margolis, and the City as a whole. ,
