moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 67 -289
RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION ND. 67040
SUBMITTED BY ROBERT KELLER
WHEREAS, Mr. Robert Keller has submitted Application #67040
requesting rezoning of the property bounded by 65th, Camden, 64th (extended),
and Bryant Avenues North (Lot 6, Mendenhall's Outlots) from its present R -1
Single Family Residence classification to R -5 Multiple Family Residence; and
WHEREAS, the request was heard at a public hearing before the
Planning Commission on August 10, 1967, at which time the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the rezoning, recognizing that the objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan could be served as well by a transitional landscaped
area as well as the previously envisaged strip of single family or duplex
dwellings on the east side of Bryant Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Council, during public hearings on August 14th and
September 5th and 11th, has reviewed the recommendation of the Planning
Commission, and has gathered other information with regard to the Application,
and is fully informed thereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council makes the following findings:
1) The Comprehensive Plan adopted in November of 1966 indicated
that the (approximately) eastern three- fourths of this property
should be developed as multiple dwellings, and the western
one fourth should be developed as a transitional strip of single
family or duplex dwellings. The development now proposed by
Mr. Keller, that of multiple dwellings for the entire property,
but with a broad expanse of open, landscaped area adjacent to
existing single family development, is in accord with the concept
of proper transition as contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
2) The Planning Commission, reviewing the requested rezoning in
light of the Comprehensive Plan and the principles on which it
is based, have found the proposed R -5 zoning to be proper, and
have recommended its approval.
3) The Council, in a subsequent plan approval prior to development
of this property, will expect that the developer will have
considered the following design criteria in the development of
his plans: a. the use of no access from the development onto
Bryant Avenue; b. the development of a 100 foot landscaped
area "greenstrip along Bryant Avenue, following dedication of
additional land for Bryant Avenue; c. if garages are located on
the Bryant Avenue side of the property, that they be underground
or effectively covered or screened by a landscaped "berm" of
earth. Further, the developer will be required, prior to
development, to dedicate approximately 13.5 feet for Bryant
Avenue, and 30 feet for Camden Avenue.
Resolution No. 67 -289
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center hereby approves the rezoning of Lot 6, Mendenhall's
Outlots, from its present R -1 Single Family Residence zoning classification
to R -5 Multiple Family Residence.
