This petition is to rezone a 17 acre parcel , formerly used as a gotf driving range from Industrial to Mu1tiple Dweiling (M=2) to facilitate the construction of a 240 unit apartment complex. The Zoning Committee noted that this Industrial property has remained vacant for several years . There is scattered Industrial development east and west of this property. The proposed is for comptete deve1opment of a very large parcel , extending from Laurel Avenue to Wayzata Boulevard. The Zoning Committee a}so noted that the proposed 240 unit development wouid meet the multiple district land area require- ment after additional right-of-way is taken for a frontage road along Wayzata Boutevard. Th� Zoning Committee recommen�s approva1 of the proposed rezoning . The site plan of the project, hQwever , needs revision in order to comply with Vi1lage Ordinances. The required number Qf garages and parking spaces were not reflected on the drawing detai1 , and a 25 foot land- scaped yard should be provided along the east perim�ter of the property. The Zoning Committee also recommends that a substantial bond be acquared in order to guarantee comp1ete development of the landscaped plan . The Committee further recommends that particular attention be given to the exterior surface of this building to insure its confor- mance with the high quality expected in Golden Valley. r� The petitioner, Mr . Walsh and his architect, Mr . Bruflodt, were present . It was moved by Discher and seconded by Bedwell to accept the Committee ' s report provided the following revisions and recommendations are observed: 1 . The site plan still does not reflect the required number of parking spaces and garages. The petitioner should revise this in accordance with the new layout proposed to the Planning Commission. This would be to reduce the overall width of the buildings, openi�g up the court areas . 2. An effort should be made to provide direct sunlight to all the units. Under the present plan, the units on the north would not comply, 3 . The Commission recommends that the 120 unit buil �ing nearest Laurel Avenue be constructed first . 4. The Corrxnission recommends that a substantial bond be required in order to insure complete landscaping , blacktopping and development �f the site. The architect stated that the landscaping alone would cost $50-60,000, The rnotion carried unanimously. � �o Minutes of the G V Planning Gommission Page 3 2- 11 -65 ORDI NA�10E Review of Service Stati�ns Committee Member Bedwel1 stated that the Committee reviewed the objectives of the study of Service Stations in the Village.
