Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Set Informal Public Hearing Date for the Following Action on Lot 3, Block 2, Miller's Meadow 1) Rezoning of Lot From Residential to R-2 2) PUD for Two-Family Home on Property Meridian Construction Company of Minnetonka has purchased the subject lot which is located near the intersection of 23rd Avenue and Ensign Avenue in northwest Golden Valley. The property is currently zoned for single-family homes. The developer wishes to build a two-family home on the lot. The lot must be rezoned to R-2 in order to allow the construction of a two-family home. The lot meets the size requirements for the construction of a two-family home in a R-2 District. In addition, Meridian Construction would like to divide the property in � half and run the property line down the middle of the two-family home. This would allow each side of the two-family home to be sold. In order to permit this division, a PUD Permit and plat must be issued. The PUD has been the method used by Golden Valley to permit zero lot line construction. The staff suggests that the Planning Commission set an informal public hearing date on the rezoning and PUD for April 8, 1985. MWG:ga � March 20, 1985 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Call for a Second Informal Public Hearing - Rezoning Request by Foxboro Corporation on Lilac Drive South of Golden Valley � Road At the February 11, 1985 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioners voted to recommend denial of a rezoning from Residential to Business and Professional Offices of the property along Lilac Drive (Highway 100) just south of Golden Valley Road. As you will recall , there were concerns expressed by the Planning Commission and the neighbors regarding drainage, landscaping, parking and the guarantee that the building presented by Foxboro would be built. Neighbors were concerned that if the proposed building were not built and the property was rezoned, the property could be used for a less desirable building. Since the February meeting, Foxboro has been in contact with the neighbors, City staff and the Minnesota Department of Transportation. It appears that � a solution to the drainage problem has been found. Also, Foxboro has met with the neighbors at a neighborhood meeting. It is my understanding that the neighbors would like to see the Foxboro building constructed if it does not harm the drainage in the area and if it can be guaranteed the building proposed to the Planning Commission on February 11, 1985 will be built. I am recommending that the Planning Commission call for a second Informal Public hearing on the Foxboro rezoning request for the April 8, 1985 Planning Commission meeting. If it is determined by the Planning Commission that the additional information submitted by Foxboro for the public hearing warrants a different recommendation, the Planning Commission may reconsider their February 11, 1985 vote on the rezoning. MWG:ga � • March 20 1985 � T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development SUBJECT: Set Da•te for Informal Public Hearing for Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Day Care Center at St. Margaret Mary's Church Mary and Joe Whelan have applied for a Conditional Use Permit to .operate a day care center in the Convent building at St. Margaret Mary's Church in northeast Golden Valley. The property is zoned Institutional . Within that zoning district, a Conditional Use Permit is required for a day care center. The day care center will occupy the entire Convent building. The day care center will be .owned and operated by the Church and directed by Mary Whelan or the Convent building leased from the Church by Mary and Joe Whelan and operated by the Whelans. In any case, the day care center will be a non-profit organization. � The day care center is planned to take care of from 60 to 90 children ages 2 through 12 (including latch-key children). The day care center will have to meet all local and State building safety standards. It is anticipated there will be about 18 employees.
