UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECIARED THE MOTIDPI CAP.RIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. TABLED: LOT SPLIT REQUEST, L.S. #84-08, BY UON HANSON: Split off the Southerly 121_ feet of Lot 28, Auditor's Subdivision No. 129, and Outlot A, Jim Lund Estates, to make a new building site at 1501 73 1/2 Avenue N.E. MOTION BY MR. KONDRICK� SECONDED BY MR. SABA� TO REMOVE L.S. #84-08 FROM THE TABLE. ' � UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCNNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Robinson stated that as discussed at the last meeting, there are several large lots in this area that have the potential to be split also. For that reason, the Planning Commission decided to table any further discussion in order to inform the neighbors of this lot split request and of the possibility of other lot splits, with the potential of 732 Avenue going through, looping to'Osborne_at the east of the apartr.�ent building. He stated that this would be based on an agreement with the apartment build- ing owner that the apartment building driveway become a city street. At this time, if just the petitioner, Mr. Hanson, splits his lot, Mr. Hanson will ,� put in a driveway to the cul de sac on 732 Ave. However, the City will secure _ right-of-way for the splitting of any future lots. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. JULY 18, 1984 PAGE 2 Ms. Schnabel stated this was not a plan the City had at this time. The Planning Conmission thought it logical to present this idea to the neighbors so that those neighbors who do have large lots that might be affected and migF�t want to consider splitting could understand how it could be worked out. It was notf�ing that had to be done, and it was just in the talking stages at t(�is time. They alse wanted to get the rest of the neighbors' reaction. Mr. Robinson stated that George Hanson, 1476 Onondaga St. N.E., Lot 26, was not able to attend this meeting. Mr. Hanson did say he would be in favor of the lot split, but he would like to make sure access was provided because he was interested in splitting his lot sometime in the future. Ms. Schnabel asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to make some comments. Mr. James Vaughan, 1520 732 Ave. N.E.� stated he lived on the southeast corner of the cul de sac. He stated that if 73� was extended� he would hate to lose the cul de sac. His question was: Who would pay the assess- ments for the street--would it be assessed to the new lots or would the existing homeowners on the existing 73; also have to pay the assessments? Mr. Robinson stated he believed the assessments would be paid by the lots that are split, but he would do some further checking to see if that was correct. Ms. Sue Sherek, 1530 732 Avenue N.E., stated that the east end of 73'z also ends in a cul de sac, so there are cul de sacs on both ends. At the east end there is an apartment building, but the apartment was required to access onto 73rd Avenue. If there was the possibility of multiple dwellings going on any of the larger lots, would it be possible to have their access onto 73rd Ave. also? Ms. Schnabel stated that was a hard question to answer at this time, but the chances were that the City would prefer to have the access go onto 73rd. � /� Ms. Schnabel asked if there were any neighbors in the audience who were ^ interested in splitting their lots. Hearing no other comments, Ms. Schnabel stated they would proceed to handle the lot split request that was submitted by the petitioner, Mr. Don Hanson. Mr. Robinson restated the stipulations recomnended by Staff: 1. Provide a 27 ft. street easement for possible future use. 2. Asphalt curb work on 73a Ave. to be done by City's contractor at owner's expense 3. Property owner to provide driveway to street 4. Driveway to be removed at no cost to the City in the event the street goes through 5. Signed park fee agreement of $750 6.

Prior to that, he worked for Midas International in Palatine, I11., totalling 12 years with the company. He stated business was good in Coon Rapids, and it was time to look forward. After looking around, they felt Fridley was the best area for expansion as it would be easy for him to control both stores.

MOTION BY M3. GABEL� SECONDED BY MR. MINTON� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC XEARING ON SP #84-13 BY MCCK PROPERTIES, INC. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC NEARING OPEN AT 8:20 P.M. Mr. Robinson stated the proposal is for a 7-unit townhouse on the northeast corner of Nugo St. and East River Road. The property is zoned R-3 on the west with a 50 ft, portion of R-1 on the east. He stated the structural part of the development will be entirely on the R-3 property. The code states that a parking lot is allowed on R-1 property with a special use permi t. Mr. Robinson stated the variances requested and approved by the Appeals Commission on July 10 were for the reduction of a planting strip from 15 ft. to 5 ft. in the R-3 portion and 10 ft, to 5 ft. in the R-1 portion. The Appeals Commission also approved a variance to reduce the front yard setback /� from 35 ft. to 25.6 ft. Mr. Robinson stated one of the big concerns expressed by the neighbors at the July lOth Appeals Comnission meeting was that Hugo St, was only 26 ft. wide, and they were very concerned about parking on the street. It was suggested by the Appeals Comnission that parking be allowed only on the north s i de of the street. Mr. Robinson stated Staff would recommend the same stipulations as those for the variances: 1. The units be constructed of townhouse design �'�1 2. A drainage plan be approved by the City's Engineering Dept. 3. An approved landscaping plan 4. A 172 ft, easement along East River Road 5. A fire wall be constructed along the east wall of the garage Mr. Oquist stated another stipulation might be that there be continuity between the outside finish of the garages and the townhouses. Mr. Allen Mattson, a partner in MCCK Properties, Inc., stated they are planning to use 4-5 inch boards on the back of the garages so it will look like fencing. Whatever they do with the townhouses, they will incorporate the same outside finish with the garages. ,� � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING,JULY 18, 1984 PAGE 6 ,--� Mr. Leonard Dailey, 8191 East River Road, stated he owned the 5-unit apartment complex on East River Road. He stated he was in favor of this proposal. His main concern was drainage, because the run-off goes to a low spot in the back of his lot. He just wanted to make sure the drainage was handled adequately. Mr. Peter Rech, 8161 Ruth Circle, stated he traveled Hugo St. every day to East River Road. He stated Hugo St, is only 26 ft, wide and when there are two cars parked on both sides of the street, it is very tricky to pass another car. It was very difficult for school buses and emergency vehicles. He stated he wanted to again bring this concern to tF�e Planning Comnission's attention. MOTION BY MR. MINTON� SECONDED BY MR.

KONDRICK� TD CONCUR WITH THE APPEALS COMMISSION�S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER A"NO PARKING" REQUIREMEIVT ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF TXE 400 BLOCK OF HUGO ST. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE PARKING. Ms. Gabel stated her only concern was that maybe a"no parking" requirement on just the 400 block was too limiting. The City should probably consider more than just the 400 block of Hugo. Ms. Schnabel agreed that perhaps more than the 400 block of Hugo should be looked at by the City as far as "no parking" on one side of the street, and perhaps other streets in that area that have similar problems. The reason '� for the Planning Comnission's concern was for emergency vehicles, such as - � �--�� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 18, 1984 PAGE 7 fire trucks, plus the neighbors have pointed out that school buses also have a problem traveling the streets when there is parking on both sides.

Public Hearings on Lot Splits Ms. Schnabel stated that at the last meeting, the Planning Comnission members had briefly discussed public hearings on lot splits. She had asked Staff to prepare some kind of proposal for a change in the ordinance to be presented to the Comnission at this meeting. Mr. Robinson stated he had first talked to Dave Newman, City Attorney, and Mr. Newman agreed that if the Planning Comnission is going to have informal public hearings on lot splits, they should have them across the board for all lot splits. Mr. Robinson stated he then went to the Staff to see if they wanted to � pass an ordinance to revise the code. He stated it was Staff's recortmenda- � tion that the informal public hearings be handled as a matter of policy and not a change in the law. Mr. Robinson stated this policy change has been approved by Staff, so whenever there is a lot split request, Staff will automatically send out notices for an informal public hearing. The Planning Comnission members were very much in agreenrent with this policy change. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION BY MR. MINTON, SECONDED BY 1�IIt. KONDRICK� TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
