Attachment F <br />under that particular zoning designation versus looking at “what ifs” or worst case scenarios <br />ЋВЋ <br />of the highest allowable density. In this case, knowing the traffic study supported the higher <br />ЋВЌ <br />zoning designation, Member Bull stated he found helpful. However, with LDR across the <br />ЋВЍ <br />street and the potential of looking at a massive wall potentially 95’ high starting back at me, <br />ЋВЎ <br />Member Bull questioned if he’d even want that across a 4-lane road. For him, Member Bull <br />ЋВЏ <br />noted his options were to take a leap of faith that zoning for a project like this would come in <br />ЋВА <br />and move forward accordingly; or the more cautionary option of not knowing what project <br />ЋВБ <br />might develop under this zoning designation, but not supporting up to 250 units. Member <br />ЋВВ <br />Bull opined he felt he was on the side of taking a leap of faith form this investment company <br />ЌЉЉ <br />based on the research they’d put into the proposed project, and their architectural renderings. <br />ЌЉЊ <br />Therefore, Member Bull spoke in support of the rezoning request. <br />ЌЉЋ <br />Member Murphy spoke in support of the rezoning, noting minimal traffic indicated form the <br />ЌЉЌ <br />proposed project even under the worst case scenario. Member Murphy also noted the walking <br />ЌЉЍ <br />distance to area amenities; as well as the good reputation of Good Samaritan Society for this <br />ЌЉЎ <br />type of development. Member Murphy stated he was willing to accept the risk that another <br />ЌЉЏ <br />project may occur on the site, but under design standards as per city code. <br />ЌЉА <br />MOTION <br />ЌЉБ <br />Member Murphy moved, seconded by Member Cunningham to recommend to the City <br />ЌЉВ <br />Council, APPROVAL of the proposed REZONING of Ramsey County PIN 10-29-23- <br />ЌЊЉ <br />34-0006 from HDR-1 to HDR-2, based on the comments and findings of the staff report <br />ЌЊЊ <br />dated May 4, 2016. <br />ЌЊЋ <br />Chair Boguszewski encouraged the development team, with the support of city staff, to <br />ЌЊЌ <br />continue their community engagement efforts to hear any ideas that neighbors have a <br />ЌЊЍ <br />preference for in citing the building footprint on the parcel; including any necessary variance <br />ЌЊЎ <br />processes if appropriate. <br />ЌЊЏ <br />Ayes: 7 <br />ЌЊА <br />Nays: 0 <br />ЌЊБ <br />Motion carried <br />ЌЊВ <br />tğŭĻБƚŅБ <br /> <br />
