PLANNING REPORT • DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: 6 March 1985 1577-85 Charles Mattson South of County Road C-2, East of Wheeler Street Relocation of a Dwelling PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Mr. Mattson proposes to move his residence from its existing location at Lot 71 Block 1, Fairview Hills (1766 Bruce Avenue) to Lots 1 and 2, block 2, Parranto First Addition (2870 Wheeler Street). As you know, the property on Bruce Avenue is a part of the recently approved Tanurb shopping center development. 2. Attached is a copy of a short statement from Mr. Mattson dated 6 February 1985 outlining his proposal. Also attached is a copy of a memo from Gordon Beseth, City Building Inspector, outlining the results of his inspection of the premises. 3. The two lots on Wheeler Street have a total frontage of 102 feet, and the residence to be moved will occupy both lots. Attached is a copy of a site plan submitted by the applicant indicating the proposed location of the house on the two lots. 4. The Wheeler Street lots are zoned R-21 and a number of duplexes have been developed already in this subdivision. The lots to the north (across County Road C-2), however, are zoned single family residential. The applicant is aware of the R-2 zoning and the existence of the duplexes in the immediate area. 5. The applicant has submitted a petition signed by 25 persons, owners of property in the immediate area. Some of these signatures are husband and wife representing one property. 6. The residence as it exists at 1766 Bruce Avenue is a very attractive home, and should appear to be no problem in terms of compatibility with the existing homes at the Wheeler Street site. This degree of compatibility is the real reason for the City's control on the relocation of single family homes. The Ordinance was adopted in the late 509 when a considerable number of older two and three story homes were being moved from central city locations to suburban sites. In some cases, these homes were incompatible aesthetically with the one story "ranch type" homes popular in the suburbs at that time. 7. Mr. *4attson has submitted a picture of the residence which will be avai-Lable for viewing by the Planning Commission and Council at the hearing. There would appear to be no problem with respect to the proposed movement of this structure to the new site.
