-2= File 311-66 Division of a lot requested by Wilton Doble, 975 W. County Road C. Mr. Doble stated he wanted to sell 90 feet of his large lot on the northeast corner of County Road C and Lakeview Avenue. The fact that Lakeview Avenue is not a full width street and that some day it might be upgraded requiring a standard 60 foot width, it could create a problem of setback when a house is built. After due consideration, Jim Nelson moved, Remsburg seconded, to recommend that the petitioner be allowed to divide his lot which will produce two lots, the southerly portion to be 177 feet and the northerly portion 90 feet on Lakeview Avenue. This recommendation is made subject to a dedication for additional right-of-way, if needed, this matter to be determined by the Director of Public Works. Roll Call, unanimous. File 312-16 Variance request by William Stenger, 2131 Cohansey Boulevard. This request appeared to be unreasonable, the construction of a house on a SO foot lot would not conform. Anderson moved, L. Nelson seconded, to recommend that the request be denied. Roll Call, unanimous. File 313-66 Special use permit by John Young, property at the northwest corner of Hamline Avenue and Judith Avenue. The previous plan for this property included the development of apartments and a medical clinic. The new proposal is to exclude the medical clinic building and instead construct two additional apartment buildings of 34 units each. After due consideration, Carpenter moved, L. Nelson seconded, to recommend to grant a special use permit to build apartment buildings on the portion of the land now zoned B-1, subject to the following conditions. a. No driveway access to any portion of the property from Judith Avenue b. That no structures or parking be placed in an open space provided on the development plans, at the immediate northwest corner of Judith Avenue and Hamline Avenue c. The construction of the garages to match the exterior finish of the apartment buildings, namely: brick facing. Roll call unanimous. Pile 310-66 Approval of Preliminary plat "Western Hills #2" on Western Avenue between Oakcrest and County Road C. The preliminary plat appeared to be well laid out and it provides for the dedication of 30 feet to widen Irene Street from Oakcrest to Rose Place. Some of the lots are a little less in width than 85 feet, however, the overall plan is good. Therefore, Jim Nelson moved, Remsburg seconded, that we recommend that the preliminary plat be approved as submitted. Roll Call, unanimous. It was agreed to hold a special meeting on Wednesday, March 16th to further discuss the upgrading of construction of apartment buildings and that contractors be invited to attend in order to get their views on the proposed changes under consideration. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, George A. Membrez, Secretary Planning Commission.
