s��"' ... � � �� 4 CASE NG: ''90-67' A�PL�CA��lTs Altmcn and Huiras July 5, 1967 LOCATlON: Between $nelling Avenue and Snelling Curve (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: R�loning from "R-1" to "R-3a" and Special Use Permit for stn�cture exceed i ng 2� un i ts PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The listed cpplicants are the owne�s of the property, consisting of approximately 3. 6 acres loccted west of the �� rontage on Sne I I i ng Curve ond runn i ng to the � highway right-of-way on $nelling Avenue. A Mr. Raymon�l Nowieki proposed to construct a 36-unit apa�tment structure on the property fronting on Snelling �urve where the soil conditions appear to permit construction of such a building. $oil tests of the area submi tted w i th the app! i cat i on i nd i cate that the remai n i ng area of the land, (weste�ly toward Snelling Avenue) has extremeiy poor soil conditions and would be relatively uneconomic for �uilding at this poin; in time. 2. The property immediately to the north is owned by the Highway Department, though � there os a small triangle of un�csab�� land fronting on Snelling Curve at t!�e north-- east comer of the property in qu�stion. 1'here is an existing apartment house to the northeast of the property in questir,n. 3. The p�oposed development is a single building 75' x 190' contai-�ing 36 units with 36 park�n� spaces in the basement. Complete drawings of the structWre have been pre�pared and appear to be wel) done by Mr. Peter Racchini, an architec�' from St. Paui. A complete site plan h� been prepared with parking to the rear of the stru�cture (away f�om Srielling Curve) for 40 parking spaces. 4. At 2500 squere feet of land per unit (allowing 300 square feet of credit per �ach pcarking spac� under ground) the 3G units would �-equire 90,000 square feet. The propetty contains opproximately 157;� square feet, so nbviously there is more than adequate property available to meet tFoe density requirements. 5. The 6uilding is proposed to be setback 40' from Snelling Curve with the access to ths perking �rea and the undLrground parking from the west side of the building away from the �esidential units ecst and sauthe�t of the property in question. 6. � Y � �y % «�� y _ . . ,. . This rezoning shou!d be cansidered part of a total land use policy of this area involvir�,q the low swamplar� in the area between Snelling Curve and Snelling A�enue . As ;fou �al I know, this area has an extreme soi I problem, maki ng it unlikely that :Single-fasnoly dwellings can be built on the bad soil area itself. in �lif�ion, the front�e along Snelling Avenue would apnear i�o detract from
