WHEREAS, Paul Sentman, representing Presentation Homes, Inc. applied for a change to
the City's land use plan from M-1 (light manufacturing) to RH (residential high density).
WHEREAS, this change applies to the undeveloped propperty located on the west side of
Hazelwood Street between Beam Avenue and County Road D.
WHEREAS, City staff also requested a change to the land use plan to drop the planned
major collector street between Beam Avenue and County Road D that would connect Highway
61 and Hazelwood Street.
WHEREAS, the history of this change is as follows:
1. On June 15, 1998, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. The City
staff published a hearing notice in the Maplewood Review and sent notices to
the surrounding property owners. The Planning Commission gave everyone

Commission and City staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approve the above-described
changes for the following reasons:
1. This site is proper for and consistent with the City's policies for high-density
residential use. This includes:
a. Creating a transitional land use between the existing low density
residental and commercial land uses.
b. It is on a collector street and is near Saint John's Hospital, shopping,
an arterial street, parks and open space.

properties because:
a. The proposed on-site pond and large setback from the street will
separate the senior housing from nearby homes.

values.
c. There would be no traffic from this development on existing residential
streets.

Street because the existing wetlands and golf course would make it difficult to

the Village on Woodlynn and the Carefree ~ottages.
