Possible Vacation of City Owned Streets and New Platting of the Property in the Lauring Hillside Addition - Property Owners are Construction 5. This not being a public hearing, just an information item passed on to the Planning Commission members, Mr. Gua La Fromboise was present from Construction 5, Inc., to present their proposal for development of Phase I and Phase I1 in Lauring Hillside Addition. tor. La Fromboise pointed out to the Planning Commission members his intent to develop the adjacent property next to his current 12 -unit apartment building under construction nearing completion of construction. Under Mr. La Fromboiso's plan,if the City would vacate Hennepin SLreet from ilio railroad tracks to Lauring Avenue, in return Mr. La Fromboise would give to the City extension of Lauring Lane Lo connect with the old platted Washington Street, which would provide road access to the undeveloped property alonq the freeway. Mr. La Fromboise indicated to the Planning Commission members that his 12 -unit apartment buildiny currently under construction is already filled without even advertising apartments for rent, therefore, n,'CLrc;ttating his need for an additional ip.krtment building in t -:e City of Monticello ad3acen, LU his present 12-ui,it apartment buiIiiny. But to place two apartment bui ldingt. ,i his p,'q,uued ite, one , t the apartment .. 2 0 Planning Commission Minutes 9/6/83 buildings would be located right in the platted Hennepin Street, therefore, necessitating the need for the City to vacate the street for Mr. La Fromboise to go ahead with his project. No formal proposal has been submitted by either Mr. La Fromboise or the City of Monticello for street vacation purposes. Mr. La Fromboise also indicated to the Planning Commission members that due to the current lay of the land on his proposed apartment building site, he would have to do some site work prior to construction of his 24 -unit apartment buildings. Mr. La Fromboise indicated to the Planning Commission members that he intended to keep a natural drainage along the north side of Lauring Lane to allow storm water drainage to continue along Lauring Lane onto and down Washington Street to the culvert going across Washington Street to our storm sewer catch basin; also in placement of the proposed 24 -unit apartment building and the parking lot for it,he indicated that enough room was left for proposal of the interceptor sewer line along the railroad tracks.

Public Hearing - City of Monticello Rezoning Request. Blocks 32 and 17, formerly known as the Oakwood Block when the City in turn sold it to Security Federal, were assumed to have been rezoned from an R-2 to a B-4 Zone. In checking further into the records, we find no change ever taking place of the rezoning from R-2 to a B-4 Zone. Therefore, before further development of the property can be made , the rezoning would have to take place. PQSSIBIE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of the rezoning request to rezone from an R-2 to a B-4 Zone.

Milton is currantly building a 60' x 120', 7,200 sq. ft. casement level combination retail electrical business in front, tho middle portion being an electrical repair shop and electrical parts storage, and the back part to be rented out for a body shop. With construction as of today's dar-o, the walls are currently going up. Due to tho lateness of the construction season and allowing the settlement of the proposed parking site out there, Milton is, therefore, requesting a variance to allow him up to one year to put in his hard surfaced parking lot. Milton intends to put in the hard surfaced parking as soon as possible in the spring to complete his project. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of apptoval or denial of a hard surfaced parking variance request.

Dr. Maus currently awns the former Monticello Clinic, Ltd., building located across the street from Golden Valley Furniture. Dr. Maus has relocated his practice from this building to another site. In looking at the possible ways of renovating his building for other uses, Dr. Maus is considering putting in apartment buildings on the main floor. Apartment buildings in a B-4 Zone is currently not allowed, but apartments currently in the B-4 Zone before the Zoning Ordinance went into effect are still allowed and, therefore, continue as a non -conforming use in a B-4 Zone. Looking at other- instances therinstances along the 3-4 Main Street Zone, I find where other new apartments have been built but aro basically old apartments that were existing but have been renovated into new apartments. Therefore, in looking at Dr. Maus' request, he would be requesting apartments to be built in a building that is already existing but the business that was existing there was a conforming use. Therefore, with him proposing to put in apartments in this building, it would be a non- conforming use in a B-4 Zone. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of a rezoning request. REFERENCES: A map depicting the location of the property, a site plan showing the location of the property and the existing lot, and a photo to be presented at the meeting on Tuesday night noting the location of the building on the property. - 3 - . kseq vool- qu imp vo Sol to srs ie ar Cit*l of a�de 004VO v wl�)JgA41 NO
