� � � � June 4, 1969 CAS E NO : APPLICAr1T: LOCATION: AC710N REQUESTED 516-69 James Edlund Sauthwest Carner of Skillman Avenue ond Snelling Avenue Rezoning from "R-1" and "R-2" to "B-1" PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The sketch at the ieft indicates the location of the property in relationsh�p to contiguou� development. The property in question is that portion shown cross-hatched . A copy of the survey submitted by the Appl icant is also attached indicating the dimensions and location of the existing structures on the propertyo You will note that the immediate corner property occupied by the exisfiing office building measures 45 fzet x 150 f�et or 6,750 square feet. This property was developed prior to the adopi�ir,n of the 195� Zoning Ordinance and was left in a non-conforming use with a single family zone> Subsequent to that the property to the sauth and to the west was rezoned to th�e "K-2" District, and thus that portion of the property in question on the west side and the south side is currer�tly zoned "R-2". The two properties together (shown cross-hatchec!) have approximately 102 feet of fronta�e on Snel I ing Avenue and a depth of 2Q9 feet equal I ing an area of 21, 318 square feeto 2. The applicant has apparently occupied the small office building on the immediate corner site for some time and conducts an insuran�� agency from the premiseso The applicant has naw purchased the adjaining prop�rty, and is requesting that both properties be rezoned to the "B-1" category vrhich allows office structures as a permitted useo 3. The app� icant apparently has no immediate plans for changing the premises, but notes that if the property were d�stroyed he would not be able to reconstruct it under the non-conforming use prov�sionso Although we have to be concerned about the quality single family home development to the south, we suggest that combining the two properfiies can be an asset to fhe neighborhood and the Village as a wholeo Obviously, tripling the size of the office structure site could enable the ultimate develnpment of an excellent offic�e arrangement providing adequate par(cing, landsca�ing, and screening so as to general ly enhance the area in question o
