Center Development Company
Approval of the site plan of an
apartment development. Variance from.
Sec. 35-402 to permit a greater number
of dwelling units on the property

The property Lies north of County
Road #10 between Xer.zes Avenue and

No. 1.166)
Center Development Co.
3) An application very similar to this one was submitte6 in
May of 1966, also requesting approval of plans and a
variance on density. The requests were denied by the
Council on ?august 15, 1966. Since that time, the site
plans have been -revised, but the site plan still contains
276 apartment units on 15.22 acres of land, approximately
30 .snits over the 245.55 unit maximum permissable using
the figure of 2700 square feet of land per dwelling unit
in an R5 inultiple. dwelling zone.
POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED:
1) The Commission will recall that in its proposed zoning
ordinance and in the denial of the previous va.rianCe request
on this property, the only a:tterat on in the density
requirement of 2700 square feet of land: per 11wel? ing
unit t:7as based on the installation of par*k:ing space
v.nderground or under buildings.
2) The site plan submitted is in accord writh the standards
of the zoning ordinance in all respects but c"leaisity and
the d.:,irltensions of parking areas.
STAFF COW.- M3'':C'S :
1) There are xeason.ab.le arguments both for and against
set density s:igur.^ for residential uses, and. for and
against the required area f-J'-9Ljre far apartments, 2700
scuare feet per unit. It is c�zi%e possA-13le in t,ie
future., as Brooklyn Center becomes more cosraopolitan in
.2 --
in its attitudes, that greater densities for dwelling
units will be permitted. This change is an evolutionary
process, however, and I do not feel that the City at -
present is prepared to lower these density requirements.
Rather, I suggest the deletion of the three 12 unit
buildings shown on the site plan to bring the total
nu ber of units under the 245 units permitted by the
present ordinance, then, in the future, if the density
standards do become more liberal, the developer will
have those spaces remaining into which he may insert those
deleted buildings. The deletion of one twelve unit building
would leave the development "balmiced" in design, but
st:.il.l at an excessive density; the deletion of two
twelve unit buildings would throw the design out of
"balance", and still leave an excess of approximately
6 units in the developments the deletion of all three
12 unit buildings would peat the design back in "balance"
but would put the number of units on the property at
approximately 6 less than are permitted by ordinance.
I feel quite certain than the developer will use this
argument and the example of Turin Realty to the northwest
of Highways ##100 and #152 where a variance of 2.5 units
`• was granted to allow him, a variance in :his ease.
2) The standard performance agreement and bond are
recommended.
