would not purchase the property at the price requested by the owner.

the City's appraisal was. The City, therefore, felt they could not
afford to purchase the property. The condemnation proceedings were
dropped.
Mr. O'Connor asked if there was another plan for a park in the
area to trade off the density.
Secretary Olson showed the City Park Plan to Mr. O'Connor.
Amos Haynes, 1625 E. County Road B, said he had a problem with drainage
for quite some time before it was corrected. He asked if there would be
high density structures constructed on the property if it is designated
to Rm. He also questioned if the development would cause additional
drainage problems for the neighborhood.
Secretary Olson explained what type of units are permitted in an area
designated Rm. Public Works Director Haider said the City has an overall
drainage plan for the City. There could be the possibility of a storm sewer
project as a result of complete development of the site.
Mr. O'Connor said when there is a heavy rain there is a water problem.
The following indicated the would rather have the property remain as
open space, also questioned what was proposed for development on the

A. Plan Amendment - White Bear Avenua (Larpenteur to Frost)
Secretary Olson read the notice of public hearing. It is proposed
to amend the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from
LSC to RL. Staff is recommending changing to RB, Residential Business.
Chairman Axdahl asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment
regarding the proposed change.
1 4 -5 -82
Paul Holt, 1895 White Bear Avenue, asked when the property was
• changed to LSC.
Secretary Olson explained the diff•rence between zoning and Land
Use designations.
Mr. Holt said they would like to have the area remain residential.
Erin Martin, 1865 White Bear Avenu-, also wished the property to
remain residential. They do not wish :n office building next to them.
Mrs. Donley , 1834 Flandrau also requested the property remain
residential.
Walter Pehoski, 1772 Flandrau, said if the property is to be
both commercial and residential it wo ld present more problems for
the people living on Flandrau.
Harry Johnson, 1717 White Bear Av:nue, asked who initiated the
proposed change.
The Commission explained the proc:dure in establishing the hearing.
Mr. Johnson said he is in favor o' the proposed change to go more
commercial.
Mr. Donley, 1834 Flandrau, would ike the property residential.
He thought a survey of Flandrau resid:nts should also be taken.
Larry Bothwell, 1922 Flandrau, he thought it is best to use a
street as a dividing line between com ercial and residential rather
that at mid block. Commercial development would add more traffic
to White Bear Avenue and also Frost a d Larpenteur.
Mr. Johnson, 1726 Flandrau, not i favor of any commercial use of
the property. Thought commercial development would result in trash
in the yards, additional traffic and .o forth.
Mr. Bothwell said he thought the orst alternative would be to
have a mixture of commercial and residential.
Margaret Walz, 1644 Flandrau, wou d rather have the area stay
residential.
Mike Carver, 1733 White Bear Aven e, indicated he would rather
have commercial building next to him han the rental property which

residential. He also presented a lePter from the property owner of
1702 Flandrau who wished the propert to remain residential.

residential.

Mrs. Greczyba, 1812 Flandrau, wished the property to remain residential.
She suggested the notice to property owners should be more descriptive.
Mr. Johnson, 1726 Flandrau said they were not surveyed as to the
proposed change.
Councilman Anderson commented on the proposed Plan Amendment and the
reason for requesting the Planning Commission to review the land use
designation for this area of White Bear Avenue. He indicated he had
surveyed the property owners three times. Each time the request for
residential use has been less.
Beverly Gustafson, her parents live at 1753 White Bear Avenue, they
wish the property to remain residentia
Chairman Axdahl closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
The Commission discussed the uses permitted in the RB district and
also where the Comprehensive Plan recommends transition from one type
of land use to another.
The Commission discussed with Staff the advantages and disadvantages
in using the Business Residential designation and what type of residential
uses would be permitted. They also reviewed the history of the various
zone changes proposed.
Commissioner Barrett moved the Planning Commission recommend
• i . -nci tie amend th- Land Use Plan from LS United
Service Commercial to RL, Residenticl Lower Density for the area
lying west of White Bear Avenue between Frost and Larpenteur Avenues_
based on the following:
1. Preserve the existing single dwelling character of these properties
and those abutting to the west.
2. Reduce the potential for median being installed along White Bear
Avenue.
3. The storm sewer system in White Bear Avenue is inadequate for
further commercial development
4. Allowing individual commercial driveways, without median control,
would cause unacceptable traffic conflicts
5. The above traffic conflicts would further increase with the
higher anticipated volume of ccm ercial traffic.

B. Plan Amendment - Ryan Equipment
Secretary Olson read the notice of public hearing. Staff is recommending
redesignation of the site from OS and LS C to BW, Business Warehousing.
The Commission discussed with Secretary Olson the uses permitted under
the BW designation, the methods that can be used to buffer the residences
to the north and setback required.
Chairman Axdahl asked if there was anyone present who wished to comment
on the proposal.
Clay Jones, 2128 Prosperity, questioned if access would have to be
allowed off Prosperity as well as White Bear Avenue. He did not think
Prosperity was constructed to handle industrial type traffic. There is
a drainage problem in the area that was designated as open space.
Mildred Grelish, 2111 Prosperity, said when the property was changed
to M -1 zoning, the neighbors signed the petition with the understanding
the only reason was to expand the building,
A resident from 2111 Prosperity asked how much more of the property
could be developed
Secretary Olson said there is about 10 1/2 acres to the site, it
would depend on the individual development proposal.
Mr. Grelish also questioned possible locations of driveways, setbacks
of buildings and what procedures would be followed to develop the property.
Secretary Olson said Dick Pearson, a property owner in the area, indicated
he was in favor of the proposal.
4 4 -5 -82
W. F. Franz, 1750 Burke, commented on the drainage on the subject property.
Additional work would have to be done to develop the property. He is concerned
that he would receive an assessment for additional drainage work. The
building that exists does fit into the area. He would prefer not to have
a building constructed on the property that would not be designed properly
to be adjacent to a residential area.
Director of Public Works Haider the area under consideration was considered
as Open Space under the design of County )itch 17 construction. If more
intense use would be contemplated for the property, the developer would be
creating the additional ponding necessary and would probably have to pay
for it himself. It would depend on what Council's decision would be.
Norm Anderson, 1603 Frost Avenue, said the property owners along Burke
and Prosperity assumed the property would stay as it is, open space. He
feels the property should remain open space. Any more intense building in
the area would have an affect on County Citch 17. Another consideration
is the proposal to construct warehousing on the east side of White Bear
Avenue. He requested the Commission give consideration to leave the Open
Space designation.
Joe Ristrom, 2120 Prosperity, said ti^e ponding on the east side of
White Bear Avenue does drain across to tre ponding on the west side and
then into the ditch.
Mr. Grelish, 2111 Prosperity, commented on the drainage in the area.
With additional development, there would be additional problems with
drainage.
Chairman Axdahl closed the public hearing portion of the meeting.
The Commission asked if there was a )roposal in the drainage plan to
have any of this property become public drainage.
Director Haider said no, there is no need for additional drainage if
the property remains open space. Pondin) would be reviewed at the time
of the site review of any proposed develapment.
Commission indicated that one consideration in leaving the property
designated as Open Space would be an indication to a potential developer
that some kind of special conditions exist at the site, therefore,
requiring special designs during development planning.

Use designation for the property. He said there have been a number of
changes made for the property in the _and Use designation.. He thought
economics should be considered when making a land use designation on
property as it would not be feasible to construct single- family homes
on the property. He requests the property be redesignated Rm.

would cause additional traffic. There will be additional traffic with
the townhouse project presently under construction in the area. He

request.
Tom Miller, REM, Inc., explained the propose development, as to the
size of the building, parking lot and parking spaces. The only parking
they need is for staff.
Mr. Bollinger, said he has a facility similar to this one that is
located approximately two blocks from this location. He commented on
the people who will be housed in this facility.
Len Rudie, Kingston and Jackson, said the traffic does go by very
fast at Larpenteur and Jackson and wEs concerned for the safety of the
residents of this facility. He also commented on the drainage in the
area and the storm sewer system. He thought there would be a better
site for this facility.
Mr. Bollinger said the residents are not allowed near any streets
without supervisors.
Mel Tischler, 1712 Beaumont, said the neighborhood is residential.
He is not in favor of this spot zoning. He did not think there was
sufficient parking to provide for both employees and visitors. He
also commented on the drainage.
Don Rongitsch, 1709 Jackson, said his property is the lowest in
the area through development and street grading. He has a problem with
the water running into his yard. He questioned what would happen with
the water run -off once the complex is constructed.
Public Works Director Haider said the drainage plan calls for a
three acre foot pond. The revised site plan has accounted for the
pond to take care of the drainage.
Mr. Tischler asked if the Planniig Commission had viewed the site.
Norbert Mickus, 1675 Wanda, (St. Paul), he requested a storm drainage
system be installed prior to constru :tion of the facility. He also

correct or help the drainage situation. The use will have a low traffic
volume. The proposal needs a conditional use approval from the City,
this gives the City control over the project if problems result from it.
The architect for the project explained the elevation of the building,
he said landscaping would be installed to screen the building. He reviewed
with Director Haider the 3 acre foo, pond and it will handle the 100 year
rainfall capacity. It was also recommended not to fence the pond.
The residents of the area though, it would be safer to fence the pond.
Don Patraw, 1675 Jackson, also commented on the water situation in
the neighborhood. He thought the additional development would cause
further problems.
Joe Morris, 1716 Beaumont, questioned what the development would
do to their property tax and property valuation.
The applicant and the Commission discussed property tax and property
valuations with the audience.
Chairman Axdahl closed the publi: hearing portion of the meeting.
The Commission questioned how maiy single family homes could be
developed on the site.
Secretary Olson said approximately 5 to 6 single family homes
could be developed. This would prodice approximately 20 people.
The drainage pond would also limit tie number of dwellings constructed.
The Commission discussed with Director Haider the drainage in the
area and the drainage pond size that will be required for the facility.
Commissioner Whitcomb roved. the Planning Commission recommend approval
of a Plan amendment from RL. Low Density Residential to Rh, High
Density Residential, on the basis that:

The Commission informed the applicant they do not make the final decision
on the application. They also have to be consistent with their recommendations
to the City Council on similar reques's.
Commissioner Kishel moved the Pla_ning_Commission,recommend to the
Board of Adiustments and Appe41 s ,den ,.1 of lot area, lot, frontage, and. lot
width variances for the construction of a single dwelling on lot 9, block 27
�1ad stnne
1. Development of this lot would be inconsistent with the intent of the
Zoning Code, resulting in a dwelling out -of- character with existing
neighborhood development.
2. Approval would be inconsistent wiuh the previous denial of a similar
request.
3. Neighborhood density would furthe exceed the allowable maximum.
4. Strict enforcement would not caus: an undue hardship unique to the
individual lot in question.
5. The best use of the property, in she public interest, would be com-
bination with the parcel to the south to create a proper sized corner lot
and to sustain adequate separatio between dwellings.
6. The present owners purchased this property in 1982. The requirements
from which a variance is requeste', have been in effect since the
1960's. Any hardship incurred wo ld be self- imposed.
Commissioner Howard seconded
Commissioner Fischer was concerne' that people would let property
go tax delinquent if they knew it cou d not be built on. Possibly there
is a unique circumstance once the property goes delinquent, in that the
City is receiving no taxes on the property.
