Planning Commission Minutes -5- Dressler indicated she thinks a 24 foot variance is too large. She feels the garage should not be so close to the residential property. DeBenedet indicated he was concerned about the setback variance but did not see another reasonable way to obtain 3 covered spaces. Wiski indicated he was concerned about the piece-meal parking spaces on Hamline and hoped the applicant would search for a better solution so that the green space in the front yard of the convent would not have to be disturbed. Recommendation DeBenedet moved and Moeller seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of St. Rose of Lima Church's request for Special use permit for P.U.D. and 24 foot variance to side yard setback at 1248 Eldridge with the following conditions: 1) That the applicant submit a landscaping plan for review by the staff and the affected neighbor. 2) That all driveways be a maximum of 22 feet wide in the right-of-way. 3) That 10 feet of right-of-way be dedicated along Hamline. 4) That the same exterior materials be used for the garage as are used in the existing building. 5) That the development be constructed in accordance with plans dated 6/20/84. Roll call, Ayes: Johnson, Moeller, Berry, DeBenedet, and Wiski. Nays: Dressler. Planning File 1526 - Shorewood Corporation request for rezoning and special use permit at 2231 Rice. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from R-l and R-6 to R-3A and from R-l to B-1 to allow the construction of a 61 unit apartment building and an office building. Dave Drown indicated the Engineering staff have several concerns regarding the proposal. They include: 1. The need for the platting of the property because the proposal calls for the creation of 3 new parcels. 2. The relocation of a public sanitary sewer and watermain must be done to City Standards. 3. New utility easements will be needed. Old easements must be vacated.
