Published in the HOPKINS SAILOR, November 4, 1985.
— A special meeting of the Hopkins Zoning and Planning Commission was held on
Monday, November 18, 1985, at 7:30 p.m. , in the Council Chambers of the City
Hall .
Present were members Berg, Bourne, Brandon, Janke, Kirscht and Shirley. Also
present were City Engineer Strojan, Community Development Director Kerrigan and
Community Development Analyst Anderson.
In the absence of Chairman Folk, Mr. Berg chaired the meeting.
Item: Mr. Janke moved and Mr. Kirscht seconded a motion that the minutes of
the regular meeting of October 29, 1985 be approved and signed. Motion
carried unanimously.
Case No: Hearing on an application by Hopkins Land Company to consider rezoning
ZN-1 the property bounded by 7th Avenue South, 5th & 6th Streets South from
12-827 I-1 Industrial to R-4 Residential .
Mr. Kerrigan stated that the request was due to possible redevelopment
in the area that will be presented at the HRA, December 3, 1985 meeting.
He stated that the present I-1 zoning is the most restrictive of the ' I '
— uses which would allow manufacturing and repair. The proposed R-4
Medium Density Multiple Family allows four stories and a density of one
unit per 1600 square feet plus other conditional uses.
Scott Williams, architect for the project, stated that the project would
contain 228 units, three stores with garages below grade and parking to
the interior of the site.
Residents of the area spoke in regard to the existing traffic problems
and increased volumes created from 228 units. They stated concern about
the height of the buildings, noise levels, problems for emergency vehicles
at peak hours and crime rate in the area. Views were expressed that the
area would be nice for park or open space and single family residential
would be most desireable. Others stated that the present ' I ' zoning is
more preferable.
Commissioners then stated their views: Mrs. Brandon expressed a desire to
see a traffic study of the area before any decisions are made. Mrs. Bourne
asked if a saturation study of the residential area has been made. Mr. Berg
and Mr. Shirley tend to favor the residential use of the land and feel it
would be a good buffer to the industrial area. Mr. Janke and Mr. Kirscht
— opposed the rezoning.
Mrs. Bourne moved and Mrs. Brandon seconded a motion recommending to the
Council denial of the request to rezone from I-1 to R-4 the property
bounded by 7th Avenue South, 5th & 6th Street South. Motion carried.
Mr. Berg voting nay.
Case No: Hearing to consider a change in the 1990 Comprehensive Plan regarding the
ZN-C-1 property bounded by 7th Avenue South, 5th & 6th Street South.
After consideration of Case No. ZN-1, and recommended denial of the rezoning
of the property it was the decision of the commission that no change was
warranted.
Mr. Janke moved and Mr. Kirscht seconded a motion that no change be made in
the Comprehensive Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
Item: The Commission discussed an acceptable date for the December meeting
which would ordinarily be held the last Tuesday of the month (12/31/85) .
A tentative date of Monday, December 30th was suggested.
r�
^ Zoning and Planning Commission minutes of November 18, 1985 continued.
