� � s July 25, 1983 Planning Office Hours - July 13 and 20, 1983 -2- 4a) P'irst Bank - 291-1215. Franke Dutke from the First National Bank of St. Paul, and David Guning from Briggs and Morgan, were in to discuss the development of Leonard Vanasse's property, north of County Road C, contiguous to the west boundary of the City (2545 West County Road C). Nir. Dutke �xplained that title to the land and the existing building is being transferred to the Fi rst Bank in settlement of certain debts. They are, therefore, conce rned with the proposed program to construct a cul-de-sac and plat the five lots as approved by the Planning Commission at its last regular meeting. David Drown explainec7 the procedure for the City's improvements for the street and utilities. We discussed the de velopment potential, whi ch includes the long strip of land that now se rves as access to the existing structure. All agreed that the proposed development plan is the best snlution. They, however, are atitempting to sell the proper�y at this point, which cr�ates problems of coordination and commitment to the Plat and csl-dE-sac development concept. We empha�ized the prr -P attem�ting to retain the existing situation (without the cul-de-sac) for an eactended period oE tim�. This relates also to the te�orary sewer service bei.ng provided now by the City of St. Anthony. 'I'hey indicated their interest in pursuing th� cui-de-s�c, and at the same rime, attempting to finalize the sale, hopefullf �aking the5e conditions into account. They will kee� in tauch as dn ve].opments proceed. 5) Martin - 483-3128. We have had previous discussions with represent�atives of Dr. Markin, wl�o has a house on Lake Owasso, and desires to expand his garage facilities. Rather than propos� a second garage with zero setback off Owasso Boulevard, he now proposes to construct a 5econd gar7g� �ha� would conform with se�back requir�ments. This garagc would be a 22� x 22' accessory building, wt�ich sti11 would be in front of his house (betw�en the house and the road, but set back more than th� requir�d distanc�s} . W� ac�ree this could best be handled as a minor variance, and by processing through the Council under the Shoreline Development Pexmit regulations. 6) Junc� - 488-0980. Dick J;�ng an d Dave Olson, from the Moose �,odge, along with Gordie Elowe, real estate agent, were i.n L-o discuss th� rezoning and dcvelop- ment nf the Richter site, northwest corner of Rice Street and Tti 3G for a Moose Lodge facility. They indicated their intent to �ix uP ti�e old hous� and use £or a clul� hous�, and perhaps build a new Glllul'lOUS� facility in the future. W� explained the requirements £or parking lot canstruction, and �t',i::� requirements with r�spect to utilizing the existing structurc. We expressed concern about the possibili�ies of rezoning the lancl comrr►�rcial, given it� r�latioi�ship �o the land to the north, zoned R-G (behind tiie Country iCitch�n restaurant). W� have discussed tl�e intent,�reviously to comUine these 4:wo properties to as to be able to do a good medium-density development. Gordie Howe told us at the meeting that he doubted the organization's financial ability to do this right, and was concerned about their ability to accomplish the project. We pointed out that inasmuch as most of the land is shown as medium-density, that a revision to the comprehensive plan woulci have ta be accomplished first in order to ultimately rezone the land to th� limited business district required.
