. . . ~ ~1 . e e March 4, 1970 CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: 564.70 Mort J. Huber 5901 West Bald Eagle BouleYatd, Paul, Minnesota LOCATION: ACTION REOUeSTED: PLAi'INING CONSIDERATIONS: South of County Road B, \Vest of Dale Street Rez:)ning from R.2 to R.3A and B-1 to B.3 ~ ! 1. A report pre;J3red the FebrJary 4th meeting of the Planning CommlSSlon is attached which OIlthnes the basiC comlderatlons Involwed 10 thiS propos.aJ, At the last hearing, the apphcatJon was tabled allowing time for the developer to make adjustments In his plans and to consider ultImate W3y1 of handhng the development propcnaJ. Flfltly, it $hould be noted that most of what IS Pfo;>osed IS already allowed under the existing ordinance. A propo~ apartmtnt umt on the westerly lot, /lOW zoned R.2, IS allowed a\ a tranSitIonal use, but only to the extent 0139 umU. Rezoning the property from R 2 to R.3A would allow the construction of tho 42 umt building proposed. 2. The neighborhood ~o~,ling center proposed, is of COUISt, allowed in the B-3 D~stnct,. and .)3rklng ContiguOUS to such 3 center IS allowed In the 0.1 ZO'1e which ap~lies to a portion of the property in the center (see sketch). Some concern was expressed at e."anglOg the 0.1 arh to a 3.3 zone, IMSmuch as a Wider vatioty of business uses are allowed in the :1 3 ZOM. Should the Co:nmlssion and CounCil dellrt to rmke a minimum of change in the eXlstlOg zoning pattern and y.t allow the proposed development Ii $U;9Mted, only a portion of tho !}.llMd could be monad to B-3 which is to be OCCUpied b,. bulldmgs. The 0.1 zone has 350 fett of fron~ on Coanty Road B of wtuch apt>roxlmattly tho easterly 130 feet is required for I pOttlon of the proJ)osed shoilpmg center bUlldm9$. GIVen the fact that much of the land 1$ already zoned to the 3-3 Diunct, a Wide vanety of uses are a1teady permitted on the property. Our ho;>> IS that the ap;>hcant IS Willing and able to develop the shO,lpmg center 3\. ~ro~oscd. Ctttainly IU develop:nent could be an excellent solut.on to a Significant amount of general b..Jsmess zoning In an area where leu well.pl.nned general buSiness uses could be a real .>roblem. It is one of the few places In the Village where the general b:lSIness zone ConSists of considerable area. dating back to the days pre~lng the zoning ~an adopted In 1959. The Immediate development as pro;losed for the property In question, v.1I feel would be an as$8t to the neighborhood 3:\d the Village as II vmole. 3. Should the Village deme the m3xlmu:n control of s;>cclflC proposals only, a new section could be added ta the Orc!mance governmg the "planned developments" of commerCial propertlos, wherem development is allowed as proposed onlv, muc.'1 as m the case of II "planne:l UOIt develo,lment" at 3;>phed to multiple hvmg units under the eXlstmg code. Should the Com:nlnlon and CounCil deSIre to explore thIS IIp;lroach, addltl,:mal information wdl be reviewed at the heanng as to how this can be accomphshed.
