Charles Carrier, 1805 .mty Road C-2, suJ:::mitted a pet_ on opposing the rezoning of the northeast corner of County Road C- 2 and Fairview from R-l to R- 2. 'Ihe petition irrlicated that while not opposed to R-2 usage in the area, the residents do oppose the elimination of the R-1 buffer and the destruction of the valuable oak grove in the northeast quadrant. Carrier stated that rather than the proposal as suJ:::mi tted by the developer, the residents would like to see the area rearnin R-l with a cul-de-sac comiI:J.g off Fairview Avenue. Mr. parranto indicated that they had attempted to design a cul-de-sac off Fairview but the concept was not possible because of engineering and lot size problems. Mrs. Jordan, 1681 West County Road C, stated that when the area residents purchased their property they were infortred that the property in question would remain R-1 F arrl. thus felt the property should remain as it is presently zoned. Mr. V. Johnson questioned how the people could have been told that the site would remain R-l since Roseville' s Comprehensive Plan has shcM1 the site as sui table for multiple use since 1969. Ted Krieger, 1784 Maple Lane, stated he felt that R-2 was too high a density for the area arrl. that a R-l use would tend to reduce the traffic problem in the area. Mr. V. Johnson asked Mr. Dahlgren if he was familiar with other areas in the rretro- po1itan area where R-I abutted R-2 zoning at the rear property line. Mr. Dahlgren stated that either approach could be used to develop a buffer area. Mr. Dahlgren did suggest, though, that if the Corrrnission was interested in nain- taining R-l zoning along C- 2 that the lot on the northeast corner of the proposed plat adjacent to the pond" be maintained as R-2 in order that the structure can front onto Kathryn Lane, thus assuring that the porrl to the rear of the lot would be protected. Mr. V. Johnson stated that it appeared that if R-1 zoning were naintained on C- 2 fran Fairview to Kathryn, the developer \'lould have approximately 5 R-l lots avail- able. Mr. Dahlgren stated that this was correct am suggested that the Comnission may wish to consider also permitting R-2 zoning for the corner lot on C-2 and Fairview because of the possible undesirability of the corner lot. Mr. Maschka asked if the Corrmission would consider continuing the request in order to pennit the Fairview Heights Hone Ckmers Association to meet \'lith the developer and work out a solution on proposed rezoning. Mr. Parranto stated that he would rather see the Corrmission make a recarmendation one way or the other at this tirre. Mr. G. Johnson stated that he felt that the hOrrecMIlers and the developer could discuss the proposal between now am the city council hearing rather than delaying the Canmission's action at this tiIre. Recc>Inrendation Mr. G. Johnson IIDved, Mr. Rukavina secorrled, that the Commission reccmrend approval of Jean parranto's request for rezoning from R-l to R-2, preliminary plat and variance to front yard setback at 2850 Fairview, with the condition that lots 1 througt 8, Block 1, on County Road C- 2 reroain R-l.
