<br />Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br />August 14, 1996 <br /> <br />of the subject property. <br />5. Violation ofthe terms and conditions of the conditional use permit shall be <br />considered a violation of the City Code and may include fines and/or revocation <br />of the permit. <br /> <br />Roll Call: <br />Ayes: <br />Nayes: <br /> <br />Wilke, Harms, Thein, Wietecki <br />None <br /> <br />8(b) Zeece/Haas Sketch Plan <br /> <br />City Planner Michael Falk provided a background report regarding the Rosebrier Group <br />of Robbinsdale's proposal to construct between 31 and 40 townhome units. Ken Huber, <br />representing the Rosebrier Group, explained the proposal for a planned unit development <br />to be submitted in October. He noted that it would require both the City two acre parcel <br />and the Zeece 5.9 acre site, as well as a portion of a single family lot from an adjoining <br />neighbor to accomplish this site plan. Single family development will be constructed on <br />the two lots facing Burke Avenue and on the one lot facing County Road B. Design #2 <br />requires assistance from the City because it has more green space and a lower density. A <br />general discussion ensued regarding the impact of the different design alternatives. <br />Chairman Wietecki asked the applicant to review the 3rd Avenue Minneapolis River Row <br />Houses with tuck-under garages. He expressed concern with the lack of design variety. <br />Ken Huber illustrated the elevations of the building, noting that there will be a stone front <br />and a two car garage with lofts. The townhomes would be approximately 1200 square <br />feet with two bedrooms on the first floor and a guest bedroom in the loft area. Most units <br />will have a full basement. A general discussion ensued concerning the soils on the site <br />and the need to excavate to obtain FHA approvals. <br /> <br />Chairman Wietecki asked that the design include more variety, better landscaping, and <br />garage door orientations. Steve Zeece stated that the developer will have to revisit the <br />neighbors with this new concept, prior to beginning the PUD process. <br /> <br />Member Harms stated that most townhomes need consistency of materials and design in <br />order to effectively price the product correctly. <br /> <br />Member Wilke asked for detail regarding the sewer easement and the relationship to the <br />townhomes. He also asked for clarification regarding the streets. Would they be public <br />or private? (public ) Would a homeowners association would be responsible for the <br />landscaping? <br /> <br />6 <br />
