Mayor Axdahl convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the re- quest of Maple Greens Company for a Planned Unit Development, Special Use Per- mit, on property located East of the Beaver Lake Estates Mobile Home Park, south - 1 - 3/22 of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad Tracks; west of Ferndale Street and north of the Beaver Lake Elementary School. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication. b. Manager Miller stated the applicants submitted a,different plan, after the staff reports had been completed. It is his understanding that they are now working on another alternate plan. The applicants now wish the hearing to be continued in order that they may prepare the other plan to present to Council. Manager Miller read the recommendation of staff. It is recommended that the proposed plan for this Planned Unit Development be denied due to the following factors: 1, The Plan density does not conform with the Plan for Maplewood; 2. The development is premature due to the inadequacy of streets and utility systems in the area. Commenting on the continuance, it appears that the developers are submitting a completely changed plan, which they want reviewed by the Council. It is my feelings this should be submitted on a new application and this application should be denied. Upon reapplication another hearing can be held. c. Manager Miller read the Planning Commission's recommendation. They concur with staff recommendations. d. Mr. Peterson, 1301 Eldridge, South Saint Paul, one of the owners of the property in question, requested approximately a 30 day delay of the public hearing, until the revised plan can be submitted to the staff and resubmitted to the Planning Commission, so their recommendations can be presented to Council. e.

Nothing has been done about it.
