The .ubJect property is bounded on two sides by the R-3 property upon which we propose to develop , construct, and manage a multi-family apartcent complex. We propose to incorporate the subject property as a part of this development 80 the existing poud may be retained, and along ...ith it's surrounding green space, provide a natural amenity for tbe project. The re~zoning and incorporation of this property into our develOpMent will also al10... us a second means ot access into the alte, thus improving traffic conditions "'ithin and access to and from the site. 10) WHAT IS 'mE EJ{PECl'ED EFFECl' OF TrlE PROPOSED AMENDMENT? The change o( the subject property to R-3 and it's incorporation into our development will assure the continued existence of the ponding area and the resulting open space adjacent to Snelling Avenue. The property will a180 establilh a permanent buffer between the proposed housing dev- elopment and the adjacent B-2 zoned property. 11) WHAT ERROR, IF ANY, IN THE EXISTING ZONING hAP AND/OR TEXT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE WOULD BE CORRECl'ED BY T!fE PROPOSED AMENDMENT? No error in the existing zoning map would be correctedi bowever, the pond which occupies the subject property would be preserved as an amenity to the housing project. As a part of the currently zoned B~2 property, it is feasible that the pond. because of economics and parking require. ments, could easily be expendable.
