r' L_J � September 11, 1986 TO: Jim Andre FROM: Howard Dahlgren SUBJECT: PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, SEPTEM�ER 3, 1986 1. Richardson, 333-6660 Kit Richardson is an architect working for Maribelle Farr, who lives at 1265 Josephine Road. Her f ather's home is can contiguous property at 1261 Josephine Road. His house was built in 1977. She proposes to sell her house and put an addition on her f ather's house, so that she and her four sons can move into her father's home and care for him in his elderly years. Her father's house is one story, with a two car attached garage. The addition wauld be built in the corner of an L, in the L- shaped footprint, oriented toward the lake. It would slightly decr�.ase the distance from the lake, but would be in line � with the front of the existing house. There may be a second fl�or on this portion of the addition, plus over the garage to add the appropriate number of bedrooms. I suggested that this would likely be a very exp�nsive addition, and that there might be some more economical method of solving their joint housing problem. He is going to look at the approximate cost and review it with Ms. Farr. It appeared, from the standpoint of a shoreline zoning approval, that the physical configuration addition would not be a prob].em . 2. Hawkins, 545-0405 Greg Hawkins, reprsenting Merrill Lynch, Raseville office, was in to review a possible addition to and conversion of the old "Gold Gym" building on County Road B to Merrill Lynch's Roseville headquarters. He presented a plan indicati�.g the way in which 1,980 square feet could be added to the 1,080 square feet that exists, �roviding a total of 12,060 square feet. This would require sixty parking sp��ces. It is physically possible to put sixty spaces on the site though, according to Mr. Hawkins, the realtor's use of the building would not require such space. We suggested they analyze their existing affices and do research regarding thei.r actual parking needs. We suggested S that based on an accommodation of sixty spaces on the site, a building �ermit could be issued for the expar�sion. In the interest of saving more grass area, a variance could then be processed, if their research proves that less than sixty spaces are required.
