� � Planning Office Hours, April 30, 1986 Page 2 Mr. Murlowski proposes to tear down the existing house and garage, and dev�lop the land with three single f amily • residences. TY�e question is whether or not this existi.ng private lot could be divided into three lots without replatting. Conferring with Charlie Honchell, we concur that inasmuch as there are three existing sewer ar�d water stubs, and no dedication required, division by this manner wou13 be practical. These l.ots over frant Central Park, and are very desirable. �elair Builders is luoking for single family lots in Roseville, and have done a cre�litable jab in other develop- ments in �he City. We suggested he call J�.m Casey to look at his property, inasmuch as Casey was coming in tha�t afternoon and de�ires to dispose of his property. 3. Holmctren, 633-233_4_ Don and �orothy Holmgren live in Roseville, westerly off Hamline north of Highway 36, and are contemplating purchasin� a new townhouse in Ferris Waods, which Art Mueller is developing on Dr. Peterson's property west of Gluek lane. They were in to learn more about the background to this devela�ment, and our opinion as to wh�ther or not it would be an appr�priate location for their townhouse investm�nt. We reviewed the development Y�istory of �he area and suggested that this, inaeed, wa� a gaod place, and that to our � knowledg�, the developer and Dr. Peterson (who are in some form of partnership) wauld pursue a quality development staged over time. �.J 4. Nacey. 488-0494 Ron Nace,y proposes to tear down his existing 17 x 30 foot accessory garage in his back yard, and build a new garage with 940 square feet in relatively the same positi.on as the previous garage. The new garage, however, will be three feet fram his rear property l�.ne although it is actually six f�et from his rear fence line which, by agreement with the contiguous cemetery owners, was lauilt at tha�t location. Technically, however, a minor variance is required for which we reviewed pracedures and requirements. The rear yard setbaak requirement is five feet. We al�o review�d the square footage of the prc�posal as it relates to the requirement that not more than twenty-five percent of the rear yard (rear thirty feet) be occupied by a structure, and concluded that his structure would conform. 5. Woodbridae, 541-1000 Dave Wier, President of Woodbridge Devel�pment, and Jim Durda, his assistant, were in to dicuss progress on the Woodbridge Development, and testing for origins of a diesel fuel leak that showed up in a manh�le of Nortk�western Bell's system on Cleveland Avenue. The PCA has been contacted, and appropriate tests recommended by them are being conducted to ascertain the origin of the oil. Sue Nordstrom, from Dave Wier's organization, is handling these tests.
