RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF APPLICATION
NO. 82020 SUBMITTED BY HUSSMAN INVESTMENT COMPANY
WHEREAS, Application No. 82020 submitted by Hussman Investment Company
proposes rezoning from R1 (Single-family Residential ) to R3 (Townhouse) of property
in the 800 block on the south side of 70th Avenue North; and
WHEREAS, the Commission held a duly called public hearing on April 29,
1982 when testimony regarding the request was taken; and
WHEREAS, the item was referred to the Northeast Neighborhood Advisory
Group which, in minutes of a meeting on June 16, 1982 recommended the rezoning,
subject to submittal of a plat to subdivide the property for owner-occupied
townhouses and of a site and building plan; and
WHEREAS, the Commission further considered the matter on July 1 , 1982
and on August 12, 1982; .and
WHEREAS, an appropriate preliminary plat to subdivide the property for
owner-occupied townhouses and site and building plan have been accepted by the
Commission:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 82020 submitted by
Hussman Investment Company be approved in consideration of the following:
1 . The R3 zoning classification is an appropriate land use
classification for the location in question in that it is
consistent and compatible with all surrounding land uses.
2. Development of the property for townhouses is in the interest
of the City, and the surrounding land uses, as well as the
praperty'owner,, .by adding 8 dwelling units" to the Northeast
Neighborhood.
3. Development of the property for townhouses is more con-
sistent with a traffic level of up to 7,000 cars per day
anticipated on 69th/70th Avenues North than single-family
residences .in that internal driveways allow for better
visibility for residents to enter the public street.
4. The proposed townhouse use of 'the land is not considered to
be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan goal that the
Northeast Neighborhood be predominantly single-family
detached residential in character.
5. The proposed townhouse use is consistent with the recom-
mendations of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically with the
Land Use Revisions Map which calls for mid-density residential
development south of 70th Avenue North, east of the City
-Maintenance Annex and west of the Columbus Village Apartments.

6. The property in question will bear fully the ordinance develop-
ment restrictions for the proposed zoning district, whereas the
R1 zoning classification presented development problems which
would have lead to a less efficient use of land.
