�= . � � � September 25, 1986 TO: Jim Andre FROM: Howard Dahlgren SUBJECT: PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, SEPTEMBER 17, 1986 1. Backes, 974-7100 Ron Backes, of Shelard Development Company, was in with Bill Brisley, of "360 Architects", to review some preliminary design alternatives for the property they have purchased from Dr. House, south of Transit, east of Rice Street. Their objective is to put in approximately 22,000 square feet maximum of small retail shops, with a convenience store with gas as the probable anchor. They are talking to, and working with, the Steichen's store to the south of their site. They are working on joint access anc� egresse We suggesteci they move the center further east so as to provide more room to the private driveway proposed between Transit and B-2, which � is now platted as an ou�lot and a part of the original P.U.D. approved for this site. They are going �o consider these suggestions, and be bac}� with r�vi.sed plans. 2. Olein, 484-9i84 Hill Olein (Roseville's Ice Arena Manager) owns two hauses at the northwest corn�r of Dale and Txansit. These hauses are on a 91.12 x 145 foot lot. He is fnquiring as to the pa�ssibility ot dividing th� lot so as to allow the homes t�o be sold separately. The problem here is that a land division would trigg�r a ten foot dedication on Dale Street, and approximately a thi�te�n and one-h�lf foot d�dication on the narth �ide of Transit. This reduces the lot size to the poirit where each o,t two lot5 would be extremely small. It's also likely that a portion of the southerly most house would be occupying part� of the proposed righ�-of-way dedication. It appears, too, that the c�arage on the east side of the property would wind up within the ten foot dedicated strip for Dale Str��et. We suggested that perhaps the two units should be sald on the single lot as they now exist, so as to not trigge� these requi�e� d�di- cations at this time. Both homes are old, and the long-rang�e future may include � tearing dowr� the two houses, and perhaps buildi.ng a new duplex. We talked about the possibility of duplex zon�.ng on such a lot, which may be appropriate in view of its location ��:. on Dale Street.
