He said Shell Oil Co. has looked at other properties in the Village and has decided that this is the -beat location for a station. He then stated that he had just received a dopy of the staff report and assumed that the Catmission nwabers had also just received theirs earlier in the evening. He stated that he would not mind the tabling of the matter so that he and the Comni.ssicn could have an opportunity to digest the staff report. He adored, however, that Shell Oil intended to have a station in Edisna no matter what action the Camu ssi_on might take.

Anumber of apartment proposals have been considered and rejected, although in October, 1966, an R-2 proposal was approved, but withdrawn when the Hoard of Appeals refused to grant lot area variances necessary to have three rather than two doubles on the site. At that time the staff suggested a tm story, 6 to 8 unit F-3 building for the site. He noted that the problems associated with this parcel had been shat lessened now that throe homes to be used as temporary schools are being constructed on the three adjacent Bristol Avenue lots. This develgpnent removed some of the uncertainties that were associated with the former proposals. aboutThe site area is aaa square feet. 7he requested zoning would permit 14 units with underground the proposed. 7he proposed building is two stories in height. Mr. Shaw noted that he had no objection to the proposed deve1qment, but objected to the R-4 classification. Since a three story building could be constructed ter that zming.

The cOlsideraticn at that time was to divide the parcel into t1ao parcels, the easterly portion 205' by 135' and the westerly parcel, 95' by 1351. Approval of that division was reccnaended at the earlier meet. The current request was to divide the parcel so that the smaller lot will be 75 feet by 135 feet and the easterly lot 225 feet by 135 feet. The reason for this is because the Highway Department is taking more of the lot which faces T.H. 100. It was noted that most of the lots in the area are 75 feet to 78 feet in width, so the proposed division would be omparable to those in the innediat a area.

He noted that the site does net entirely conform to ordinance requirements. The site is just about three acres in area, but bas less than the required width. Varianoes will be needed for lot width and for building setback. Mr. John Forrest, attm:ney for the petitioner, stated that - the building is proposed to be brick or stone and will. seat approximately 350 per. Mr. Hiatt suggested that the Commission table the request until the Board of Appeals has acted upon the variances.

Jones. Apart Hui.lding. Watson Property - T.H. 169. Mt. Hite presented Mr. Jones proposed plan for the Watson mal tiple property north of T.H. 169 and west of Grandview Lane. He noted that on July 5, 1966, the Council approved the rezoning of the property to R-4 district and also approved the Wates 170 unit apartment plan. The property had rx w been sold to Mr. Jonas who is panting new plans to the Cpm Assion. nm proposal has the same number of units, but the building and site plan is different. 7 e building is U-shaped with guest parking along the east or Grandview Lwie s2r3e with underground tenant parking in the basement. Access is frm T.H. 169 over an easmwit and from. W. 53rd Street. The sw.inu ng pool is located to the west of the building as. is a tennis court and other recreational facilities. 7he building is to be of brick with a cedar roof. After some discussion regarding the setback from the east side, Mr:. Todd asked for comments from the nearby property niers. Mr. George Frey, 5222 Grandview Lane, objected to the use of West 53rd. Street as the second actress to the multiple property. He staged that since West 52nd Street had been closed, traffic on CrandVWW Lane had incased and was used as a "drag strip". He rooted that if Wiest 53rd were to be open, the multiple traffic would travel along 53rd Street to Grandview Lane and tImn, north to 1'Road. He suggested that West 53rd Street be used only for emergency vehicles and that all vultiple traffic use the southerly easement road. Edina Planning Cooni scion Minutes -10- june 7, 1967 Mr. Hite indicated that there is a possibility that a traffic signal would be installed at West 53rd Street and T.H. 169 to alleviate the conflict of commercial and residential traffic. At this point, several of the properly owners stated that a signal would be better nearer the Edina Highlands area. Mr. Peter Weiss, 5216 Grandview Lars, also objected to the use of W. 53rd Street as an access point for the ma1tiple traffic. He also stated that he was not too happy with the nultiple zoning on the property, but that he felt W. Jones plan was superior to the Watson plan. After considerable discussion about the traffic prablsns, setbacks prtsposed and the general overall plan, Mr. Lewis moved that the ed Jones piaci be approve d as presented- Mr. Hiatt motion. 1. Sruthdale office Centre. Da CO. Mr. Hite reported that the Dawn Develq met O=pany was now oansiciering the development of their property between 66th stmt and 69th Street, West of France Avenue and east of Valley View as an office park. The property is zoned C-3 and was a part of the overralI Southdale land use plan of 1953. Ttae C-3 District permits the erection of retail mal structures and office buildings. The 1953 Soudxkle I-laster Plan indicated office development in the area. He anted that there was sane concernabout the height of the structures in the area. The 1953 plan indicated strwat: ses of 6 stories. Ix. Hite introduced Mr. Dick SUranson, Dayton Development Co., wino presented a sd' mmtic arrangement of the pznposed structures- The development will take appro Kimately 7-9 years to complete- Z"he1c8 are six proposed buildings; two 3 story buildings; two 5 story buildings and 2 ten story buildings. There will be no retailing odder than what would confonn to ordinance provisions. There are appradmateiy 2,000 parking spaces Provided on the 22 acres. A nearby resident inquired if this use was a good buffer . area for I-1 homes. He also inquired about the parking lot lights that Would be shining into the manes to the west of the development. Mr. Jim Jenvin, 6905 Southdale Fuad, asked if'there was some type of screening for all of the buildings, including the 10 story buildings that would be effecti-y-e. He also w+oaAered if the acmes would be from 66th, 69th and if there could be little or none off Valley View. He expressed strong opposition to the proposed 10 story buildings. Mr. Todd explained that the Village is following its 1953 Master Plan; that since that time there hava been some dumWs in the ming Ordinance, and it is now up to the Village and Daytrocn's to develop something that will be beneficial to all. concerned. Edina Pl mAng Camlission Minutes -11-- June 7, 1967 Mr. Hite suggested that the Dayton CmVwW get togetlar with the Southdale residents and discuss the matter thoroughly and explain the plans for the buildings, the siting, the screening and the parking. W M. K. Johnson, 6829 Scnthdal,e Wade asked if Valley View could be closed to Souk traffic to relieve traffic congestion on that street. The resident at 6825 SwLbdale Pioa3 stated that at the time the aw ran plan ww approved, six story office bmilch ngs were proposed and now, 10 years later, 10 story bui_lAings are projected. He said there appeared to be no limit to the height. Mr. Todd noted tr+.at Dayton Development had presented a proposed plan for the property and that it was now up to the Planning CoaTni.ssicn as well as the psdpl,e duly affected to det,en ne what is best for the oa mu:ity as a whole. He also noted that the zoning is tyre and that there is very little the Cc mossim could do.about the existing zoning. He stated that the secretary would send notices to the affected property aw ers regarding the next time, the plans are to be presented to the Camlissi,on. .. - - •- - .�: r� • ....' 1. - i �;.t a r. �•Yt'. -: a ��..".• �.��.+:. •�� Shy 1' • - 2.

R-4 Multiple District and R 1 Residential Distri to PC 2 District. S.W. Corner T.H. 169 and Olinger Road. Refer to: Petition dared November 29, 1966. Minutes of December 7, 1966 Area Map The original Hoben request was for C-2 or PC -2 zoning on a 5.3 acre parcel located In the S.W. corner of the T.H. 169 and Olinger Road intersection. The property has a frontage of 495 feet on T.H. 169 and 625 feet on Olinger Road. The proposed C-2 development would be contained within a single building of 45,000 to 60,000 square feet. About 35,000 square feet of this was to be used for a supermarket. The Petitioner's have noir advised that they would reduce their proposal to C-1 scale if the Commission felt this would be more appropriate. The PC -1 District has a minimum site area requirement of 2 acres, a minimum building area of 15,000 square feet and a maximum floor area per permitted use of 9,000 square feet. Lands to the east, south and immediate west are zoned and partially developed as single family. The land to the immediate north is zoned and developed C-4 (gas station) and R-4. The property to the northeast (along Highwood Drive) is zoned and mostly developed as single family. The Edwards property, located approximately 200 feet crest of the proposed coryarnercial site is zoned R-3. About 2.7 acres of the Petitioner's property is now zoned R-4. The Planning Commission has never officially designated any location gest of the Grandview Shopping District (C-2) or north of the Cahill neighborhood center (C-1) for future commercial development. The subject has been informally considered on a number of occasions but neither the need for additional commercial development nor the opportunity to create It has ever been specifically presented. 11- has been generally assumed that the residential areas in western Edina would be adequately served by existing Edina and Hopkins commercial areas or future commercial development In Eden Prairie. This assumption has been bolstered by the fact that a number- of prosent residents in western Edina have expressed opposition to any commercial zoning in their area. A great deal of opinion, research and advice has been published about the commercial service needs of residential development-. F. Stuart Chapin, Jr., suggests in his highly regarded book, "Urban Land Use Planning" (1965) that approximately 1 to 1.5 acres of combined neighborhood and community shopping area is required for each 1,000 persons in residential ccm-nunities of 30,000-50,000 population. There is no breakdown of this space requirement between the two types of shopping facilities, nor is there any mention of the quality of 'service Hoben Page -2 June 7, 1967 provided In terms of convenience or selection of services offerred.

That store has a floor area of about 3,000 square feet and meets the "Progressive Grocer" definition of a "convenience store" almost exactly. If you have stopped at "Kenny's", you will have noted that It is doing a brisk business. The reasons seem obvious; it Is convenient, (less than a 3 minute drive from any area west of T.H. 100, south of the Cross Town and east of Gleason Rd); it is open almost all the time; it accommodates almost all the day to day needs of its trade area residents; it is well maintained; and, it offers some of the neighborhood friendliness of the old corner store. The neighborhood.response to this facility would seem to suggest that the same concept might have some application in the area north of the Cross Town and west of Grandview. Most of the gest central area of the Village is currently within a 5 to 7 minute drive of major shopping facilities (Grandview, Southdale, Hopkins). There is substantial indications that this level of commercial service is adequate to meet the needs of the residents of the area for access to major shopping facilities (supermarkets, banks, clothing stores, etc.) If, however, it is considered appropriate to provide this part of Edina with -the same level of "convenience store" service (within 3 minutes driving time) as exists in all other. parts of the community, then some now facility will need to be provided. This would seem to be a worthwhile planning objective. Convenient access to adequate commercial services is obviously not a mandatory prerequisite to good residential development or living conditions, but like good public services and schools, it is highly desirable. Evan if tnm need for a "convenience store" commarc i a i center were apparent to all, there is still the problem of establishing its location. Obviously, it should be easily accessible by auto from all of the area It is to serve. In addition, it should be located on a site around which transition type land uses (multiples, offices) might be established. The site should have adequate area for building expansion, parking, and extensive landscaping. Because "convenience store" centers are a part of a residential neighborhood, the site should be capable of handling a development plan which will complement the spaciousness and concern for building and site'design evidenced in the surrounding neighborhood. The Hoben property would seam to meet 'chose requirements. T.H. 169 is the major oast -west street in the area, while Blake Road and Olinger Blvd. are the major continuous north -south routes. About 2,000 to 2,500 home sites (8 to 10,000 people) will exist within a 3 minute drive of the site. One of its principal advantages over other possible sites is that it Is adjacent to the only established commercial use in the area (gas station). The area of the site (54• acres) is adequate to contain both a PC --1 commercial canter and some transition multiple or office use. Many of the remaining adjacent sites are ;vacant and also available for similar uses. Hoben Page -4 June 7, 1957 The principal argument, which would probably be submitted in opposition to such a PC --1 proposal, would be that the establishment of additional commercial uses in this area :would diminish the value of properilies in 1-hG surrounding neighborhood, and that it could create a traffic hazard on T.H. 169. Obviously, each of theso things could occur-, but need not, if adequate attention Is g i van to the design and siting of the proposed use. Good design of both site and structures could well create an aesthetic asset-, which coupled ivith the service it offers to the residents in the arra nigh-` well tend to improve and enhance the en joy,nant and value of surrounding properties. € ro per design of the tra ► •r i c aspects of the proposal can ovorcos�s any p r-ob € eros that might develop in that regard. Any additional traffic that might be generated by a PC -1 development wou i d be mor -o lilian ofyset by the for- hcomi ng shift of T.H. 169 'to the Cross Town. Recommendation: Deny tho requested C-2 or FC -2 Zoning. Suggest- to the applicant or any other party interested in This site that the Commission would give serious consideration to a well designed PC --F development of not more than 203.000 square feet on a portion of the site, as long as it is a part- of an overall plan for the development of all the vacant properties surrounding the T.H. 169 and Olinger Road site.

A complete description of the asso- ciation is given elsewhere in this issue.) A convenience store is as follows: Building size 1,000 to 3,200 sq. ft. and parking for five to 15 cars; store hours extend beyond other area markets; self- service offering complete convenience of shopping; bz! anced inventory for daily needs to include dairy, bakery, beverages, tobacco, frozen foods, deli items, grocery products,. health and beauty aids, limited produce and non-food items.

Harold T. Brunette i; Manager, Retail Trade Relations Anheuser Busch, Inc. i St. Louis, Mo.' i "The convenience store is rapidly becoming one of the most important retail chan- nels of distribution for our 1 ! / products. During their late hours of retailing, they be- r come the prime outlet for + # beer sales. In most in- stances an adequate inven- tory of cold beer is maintained on case as well as package beer. Cold beer and quick service is the convenience most customers are seeking when faced with impromptu entertaining. "Beer sales in many convenience store chains ex- ceed the sales of beer in other national food chains, and this volume is achieved with fewer number of stores. The sale and consumption of beer and related snack items will continue to increase with the addition of con- venience stores. Today's pattern of informal living and more leisure time will be enhanced with the void filled by convenience stores." Sam White r" Vice President, Marketing Liggett &Myers Tobacco Co New York, N.Y.

We are presently servicing over 1,600 of these and most of 1 our customers have expan- ? f Sion programs going on; so it looks as if we can con- tinue to grow with them. "Our sales department, with the use of our computers, completely programs every inch of display space in order that we may have a successful non-foods program. Since these stores are so small, this is of paramount impor- tance mportance to give our customers better inventory turn and maximum sales dollar." W. R. Boberschmidt Vice President of Marketing Oscar Mayer & Co. Madison, Wis. y l "Convenience stores have become a part of the Amer- ican scene, serving the spe- cial needs of people on the go. s "Modern packaging of ` processed meat products— offering the consumer vac- uum -sealed freshness, convenience of size and form, visibility and durability—has been a key factor in the growing popularity of convenience stores. "The advantages enjoyed.by the consumer also are enjoyed by the store manager, because the packages are easily displayed and handled, have long shelf life, and offer great variety and attractiveness." 205 3 I,R�{ I U1.1 (LJi 'JV ii A development that has attracted considerable interest over the past several years is the brisk rise of the convenience store. Small in size, quick and easy to shop, these modern-day "corner stores" increased their number 18 per cent over 1964 and now total an estimated 5,900 stores. They accounted for slightly more than one billion dollars in volume, about one -and -a -half per cent of total U.S. grocery store sales. As can be seen here, convenience stores sell virtually everything that super markets do, but they necessarily limit brands and sizes within categories. Their wide range of products; modern, attractive layouts; edge -of -town and neighborhood' locations; and generous operating hours—generally from seven in the morning until 11 at night—have combined to provide the quick, ccnvcnicnt in -and -out shopping large super markets seldom afford. Margin on sales of convenience stores ranges from 22 to 27 per cent; and with a small staff of two, three or four men, several of whom may be part-timers, labor expense averages 8.3 per cent. A simplified division of the nation shows the distribution of con- venience stores to be as follows: FACTS OIN CONVENIENCE STORES Number of stores, Gross margin 22-27% 1965 5900 Labor expense 8.1.8.6% Increase over 1964 Handling Overall size 2800 sq. ft.

Location and Zoning Map. -IpLe District to PC -1(4) ;orner Heritage Drive and_ This petition represents an amendment of the petition presented in Case Z-67-2 WWI Oil - R-4 to C-4). The pot itionervs are now seeking the establishment of a PC -1(4) District under the provisions o! Paragraph 6 of Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance (Planned Connarcial Districts.) The apparant purpose of the amended petition Is to satisfy the requirement of Paragraph 2 of Section 9. The earlier Z-67-2 petition did not meet this requirement, which fact was cited in the May 3 Staff Report as one of the reasons for the recommended denial of that petition. The current proposal is to utilize the 3.42 acre O'Neill property as follows: PC -1(4) District 94,930 sq. ft. or 2.18 acre R-6 District 54,000 sq. ft. or 1.24 acre The proposed PC -1 (4) District contains a C-4 use occupying 24,750 square feet (or 0.57 acre) of Its total area. This C-4 site is in the southeast corner of the site having a frontage W GO feet along Heritage Drive and 05 feet along Xerxes Avenue. The proposed R-6 District occupies the west 200 feet of the O'Neill property and extends from Heritage Drive northerly 270 feet to the Cross Town Highway. The remaining land situated between the proposed R-6 District and the C-4 site,plus the area north of the C-4 site,is proposed as a PC -1 District. This District would have a frontage on Heritage Drive of 203.67 feet and a frontage on Xerxes of 105 feet. The proposed PC -1 site Is bounded on the north by the Cross Town and has an area of 70,180 square fee or 1.61 acre. The applicant's land was zoned "Multiple Residence District''' in 1960 as were lands to the south and west. In June, 1962, a Special Permit was granted to the Heritage Corp. for a 52 room boarding care hane for the elderly on the adjacent (west) one acre parcel. In 1963,' the old "Multiple Residence District" was replaced with the currently used R-2. R-3, R-4, R-5 and R-5 Districts and all properties In this area were classified as R-4 withtheexception of the nursing home and boarding care home properties which were classified as R-6. (The R-6 District is the only District with convalescent, nursing, rest homes or boarding care homes eS permitted principal uses.) Shot!

' Mxr gild No 2481 Dear Mr. Hite: In accordance with our telephone conversation of Pune 2, 1967, this letter will serve as an amendment to the Petition for Zone Change that was submitted by Shell Oil Company and William F. O'Neill on May 26, 1967. Section 9, Paragraph 2 (a) of the Edina. `Zoning Ordinance provides that property that is not contiguous to an existing commercial district shall not be zoned commercial district unless it is more than two acres in area. Section 9, Paragraph 2(b) of the Ordinance provides that a tract of land that is more than tt,,jo acres but less than five acres in area and is not contiguous to a commercial district "shall be zoned as a Planned Commercial District". Section 9, Paragraph 6 A of the Ordinance provides that a Planned Commercial District shall be designated PC -1, PC -2 or PC -3, „depending on the actual district uses and standards allowed", and that `°a planned Commercial District wherein C-4 uses are authorized *** shall be referred to as *** P11-1-1(4), PC -2(4), or PC -3(4)". George Hite,, City Planner -2- June 5, 1967 The only use that the developer is now certain he will make of the property is the proposed Shell Oil Station on the corner of Heritage and Xerxes.' The balance of the property will be devoted to uses permitted in the C-1 or C-2 Commercial zone, depending upon the market and availability of tenants, and to apartment and other uses permitted in the R-6 district. The property that will be devoted to service station use contains 24,750 square feet and is desribed as follows: The South 195 feet of the North 462 feet of the East 183 feet of the Nort Last 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 29, Township 28, Range 24, subject to an easement for road purposes over the East 33 feet and. the South 30 feet thereof. The property that will be devoted to commercial uses in the Planned Commercial District contains 70,180 square feet and is described as follows: The South 300 feet of the North 462 feet of the West 202 feet of the East 385 feet of the Northeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4, subject to an easement for road purposes over the South 30 feet thereof, and the North 105 feet of the South 300 feet of the East 183 feet of the North 462 feet, of Section 29, Township 28, Range 24, subject to an easement for road purposes over the East 33 feet thereof. The property that will be devoted to uses permitted in the R-6 district contains 54,000 square feet, and is described as follows: The South 300 feet of the North 462 feet of the West 201.674 feet of the East 586.674 feet of the Northeast 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of Section 29, Township 28, Range 24, subject to an easement for road purposes over the South 30 feet thereof. Respectfully submitted, LL � S . RJE cc: Mr. Norman Dyer Mr. Louis Glist Mr. William F. C,'Neill Z-67-9 gch 0 A EDINA PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT June 7, 1967 e District to R-4 MUltiDle District. Refer to: Area Map Commission and Council Minutes of Case Z-65-12, R-1 to R-3 This property has been under consideration by the Commission on a number of occasions. The most recent consideration was in 1965 when Mr. John Louis secured the existing R-3 zoning for the purpose of erecting an 8 unit apartment. Mr. Victorsen is now requesting R-4 zoning for the purpose of erecting a 17 unit building on the same site. The area of the site Is 63,000 square feet or 1.45 acre. The existing R-3 zoning would permit 16 units to be established on the site, but this would require two buildings since not more than 10 units could be located in one building In the R-3 zone. R-4 zoning would permit 25 units all in one building. All adjacent land uses are still R-1, although the property does receive some commercial exposure via the newly widened Interiachen Blvd. Mr. Victorsen's building and site pian seems well conceived. In may ways, it is superior to the Lewis 8 unit plan. The area, depth and Interiachen exposure of the property all suggest justification for apartment use. The number of units would not seem to be as important as the design of the structure and the site plan. Recommendation: Approve. The present proposal is better than the last in the items that count. Mr. Victorsen's proposal would be a handsome addition to the neighborhood and equally important, would be built, thus ending years of uncertainty about the use of the site. - L 34 „i, �' •`OM hm 4 r 9'i� r t.' -� , '3 t, ,i i` Y t' . i�,,4^iJ•ss "ei,►� i 2kt, i 9 4 C' JJ s.. °t -i .:�.. i ', iJ i , •� s r� 'c baa, , r#'t��r� 1 SLS 3��+5 •,:)7 F}`a u tie ea ?

Mr. iiredlund presented request of Mr. John 0. Louis for zoning change from Open Development District to R-3 District fcr Lots 1 and 2, Wilkin's Addition, which property .is located on the north side of Intwrlachen Blvd. at hankerson Avenue extended. Mr. Fred Melby, of Miller and Melby, present;_,d plans for an eight unit apartment. building which would provide two enclosed pWakin; spaces for each unit and a parking area in front which would accomodate seven or eight guest cars. The proposed building would be two stories high in the front and thZ,00 in the rear. Planning Commission has recommended approval on the basis of single fa.:ily requirements as far as density is. concerned. Mr. Fredlund stated that the cxc,ssive lot depth and grade of the property made it impractical to construct single or doubla fz,ily dwellings. Mr. William Dickson, 5215 Interlachen Blvd., inquired whether or not the lot would be filled and was told by Mr. Melby that the building is desiLned to fit the site as it is. Mrs. G. Cra6er Lyon, 5224 Interlachen Blvd., asked where the entrance would be and was told that it would be directly across from Hankerson Ave. and that -the structure is to be constructed.114 feet from the right-of-way line of Interlachen Blvd. Mr. Lester.G. Johnson, 4820 Rutledge Ave., asked a5:;vranca that the oj. ,jatiUn>< 4r.u'.d rcpt ba raiuGd higher *thaw the ex�Nta,n�; lots to the east. Mr. Melby stated that it would not be raised over two feet at the driveway and that additional elevation at that point would decrease drainage because the parking lot drains on down. Mr. R. A. Apple. -ren, 5024 Hankerson Ave., asked how � A d00 A dO J otl X (Oa3x 11/15/o`a this building would affect sewers and drainage. He further requested that the matter be continued until thenext meeting because he did not feel that a sufficient number of property owners had attended the meetin--. rIr. Hyde assured Mr. Applegren that both sanitary and storm sewers are adequate to take care.of any additional needs caused by`'the proposed constriction. Mr. Michael Daggitt, 5211 Interlachen Blvd., asked what benefit this building would serve to the neighborhood or to the Village. He was told by Mayor Bredesen that there could presumably be more tax benefit in relation to tax use with an eight unit building as compared with individual dwellings. Mr. Hite added that the Planning'Commission was concerned with improving the neighborhood but felt that a property owner should be allowed as much freedom as possible_in using. his property, unless his actions would be detrimental to the area. Mayor Bredesen stated that he considered that the quality of the building would.tend to enhance the surrounding property. Mr. Applegren then inquired whether or not there would be a gradual change in zoning from the Grandview Area which would cause depreciation of surrounding property. Mr. Hyde stated that the only possible change would be some of the older houses on Summit Ave.. and the house behind Bob's Brookside Station. He also mentioned the plans for the over-all development in that area. Mayor Bredesen pointed out that thePlanning Commission has, over the years, endeavored to preserve the attitude and atmosphere that Edina tries to maintain and that they attempt to be watchful for any indication of the -depreciation of property values. There being no further discussion, MacMillan then offered the following '.Ordinance, publication and posting of.which are to be withheld pending evidence of filing of a deed restriction limiting the property to eight dwelling units and until application has been made for a building permit for the same plan as presented at the.

Lou i s �, STAFF REPORT June 7, 1967 Z-67-10 Inland Construction Co. District. Stow's Ednarr gch tesidential District to_R-4 Multiple Prefer to: Area Map Submitted Site Plan ion. l_vnmar U! This parcel is all too familiar to those persons interested In Village planning over the past several years. A,number of apartment proposals have been considered and rejected, although last October, an R-2 proposal was approved but was subsequently withdrawn when the Board of Appeals refused to grant lot area variances necessary to have 3 rather than 2 doubles on the sito. At that time, a staff report suggested that a two story, 6 to 8 unit R-3 building might be the best bet. The proble,is associated with this parcel have been somewhat lessened now that 3 ho:nes (temp. schools) are being constructed on the 3 adjacent Bristol Avenue lots. This development removes some of the uncertainties that were associated with former proposals. The area of the tract is about 35,000 square feet. (0.8 acre). The requested R-4 zoning would permit 14 units which is the number proposed With underground parking). R-3 zoning .;would limit development to 8 units. The proposed building is two stories in height. (Three stories would be permitted in the R-4 zone). Setbacks meet or exceed those required in the R-3 or R-4 zones. Recommendation: This would seem to be a reasonable use of the property. The R-4 development should be limited to the proposed 2 stories and it is suggested that the garage entry be moved to the north side. Three R-2 structures would clutter up the site, while an R-3 eight unit would be about the same as the building proposed, except for greater side yards. R-4 zoning is recommended only if the garage parking is to be under the structure. • 1 i - �� DUMBER `>'[ — 7;? 3 � ,cc> z A eft` T•MA Ise: ue.LE V I F i t-• �� G 1 !� ri\\\ i �i HAZELYON RD. w 9 � LUTHED Or TF1 G 1 a? � p D RI V F_ � c I �^ �! o p 1 �--� i< G I 4 F 0 R D 0 1 HIBISCUS AVE. 4 •4� ,r '"�' -ate yM� T � _ P r .... y r r .. \mac, 1 j _> X a.........
