� � �J � G/20/84 - 6/27/84 -4- i S) Jeff Ziebarth 375-1399. Jeff Ziebartll, an architect on Gordie �-iowe's project at the north-west corner of Hwy. 36 and Rice Street bxough.t in revised pr�lirninary plans for the development of their apartment structure on the site recently proposed for amendment in the comprehensive plan from medium density �o high density. 1Ve requested that they prepare a more detailed site developmen�t, grading, and landsca�e plans, with particular emphasis on the grading and height o� the structures relating to the site, and the homes to the north. This site has some extreme grading conditions which we feel shoul�d be carefully solved prior to rezoning action on the larYd. We noted tha.t tlie access to the site was originally planned tlirough tlie driveway tha� now serves Country Kitclien, this is preferable to liaving a second driveway immediately cantiguaus south of tlie present driveway to Cauntry Kitchen. This also would result in a wider frontage for the office building proposed on Rice Street and t�e existing frontage is only 100 feet. If the driveway is taken off of this site which is sliown in tlleir drawing, this office site would be only G5 feet deep. Utilizing the existing Country Kitchen driveway as recently l�roposed, (for which easement is provided in the land division) would produce a mor� �vorkable solution, and result in a single driveway a.t this crucial point on Rice Street rather than two. Gordie Howe agreed witll these suggestions, and revised plans will be prepared for staff revie�v. 6) Scott G36-6869. Mike Scott and Jack Rice were in to discus� potential development on their part in the City of Roseville. Jack Rice formerly worked for Dayton Hudson Company and was heavily i�lvolved in tlle initial plann�ng and negotiations for the development of Rosedale Center. Since that time Jack has been operating on his own as a developex in the metropolitail area. 4Ve discussed the tax increment district and other development potential in tlie vicinity of the intelsecti�n of 35�V and County Rcl. C. Tliey are interested in develop:ing land in t}le area and have been in contact witll some of. the 1anc1 o�+mer � including tlle S�aan-Trust properties and Coldwell Banker r��presenting some of the sellers in tlle area west of 35W. VVe also dzscussed the im�lications of the construc�ion of the bxid�e across� 35W, and noted that if current rxoposals prQce�d, ttiat tlYis consti�uction could possibly occur in 1985. David Drown noted tliat tll�e City is currently intervie�ving engineers For the desigrl of the bridge. ti�1e discussed tlle type of development desired by tlle City to implement the tax i�icrement objectives, nating th�t one story office service type of structures, t�1011�}1 allow tliem to be more appropriate, az•e not considered to Ue our �rime objective. Jack is aware of the Swan-Trust trustees desire to }lave a llotel and of.fice building on the�r site, aiid tllat t}iey are currently asking $6.00 a square foot for tlie Lanci. He knows these p�o�le well because tlle orfice is �lext doar to �}iem. �Ve suggested t}�at tlie Ruan and the Timpte aiid Amoco sites are posibilities for a more intense development. Because tliese properties are not in tl�.e tax increment district, we suggested tha.t a liigli grade office
