Planning File 1119 - Janes Edlund request for special use penn:it at 2049 Snelling Avenue Presentation Mr. Dahlgren discussed the property in question, which is the State Fann Mutual Office building at the southwest corner of Skillmm and Snelling Avenue. The area is zoned B-1 and has lot dinensions of 45' x 150'. The office building is a very attractive one and has a house contiguous to the property on the south side. The existing office building is 924 square feet in area to which Mr. Edlund proposes to add 440 square feet. Since the site currently has 8 parking spaces, 3 of which are on the residential property, a planned unit developrent is desired by Mr. Edlund. This type of develorm:mt plan would camri.t Mr. Edlund to retain the layout for office am residential uses on these two properties as a single entity. The retention of the 8 parking spaces is essential to the use of the office building and a planned unit developrent maintains both a buffer zone between the business district and the residential district and at the sane ti.rre reserves the 8 parking spaces needed for that business district. Mr. Vern Johnson asked Mr. Edlund if he wished to add anything to Mr. Dahlgren's presentation. Mr. Edlund stated that the house will be left as a single-family residence and plans were to leave the residential lot as one lot. Mr. Edlund indicated that the reason for expansion is because his business is expanding am growing, there- fore, creating a need for m:>re space to work. He did not intend to expand the nurrber of people working for him so he will not need m:>re parking spaces. He just intends to give rrore working and living r<X>m in the building.

Johnson m:>ved and Mr. Rukavins seconded, that the Camrl.ssion recarm::md approval of Mr. Janes Edlund I S request for a special use penn:it for a planned unit developn-ent at 2049 Snelling Avenue.
