ITEIK 8 Mr. Kurt Larson presented an artist's rendering of a twin-home unit that .would be built in the proposed .Larson Townhome Addition, located south of .208th .Street and .east of Holiday Avenue in the downtown area. CiTY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 3, 1991 PAGE 3 • Mr. Sobota ex lained that the Council is being asked to take P three separate actions for the Larson Townhome development. The first action involves the vacation of a portion of East Avenue. The 30-foot East Avenue right-of-way must be .included in the plat following its. vacation in order for Lot 4 to be squared off and the townhome unit located on that lot to meet building setback requirements. The portion of East Avenue being vacated is currently zoned R-2; the remainder of the subject property is zoned R-5. Therefore, the vacated portion of East Avenue must be rezoned to R-5 so that it is consistent with the zoning of the remainder of the plat. The final action to be taken by the Council is approval of the preliminary and final plat and Planned Unit Development for Larson's Townhome Addition. Mr. Sobota explained that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 6th, and neighbors raised concerns regarding density, traffic and the history surrounding the rezoning of the parcels. As a result, the Planning Commission tabled the public hearing so Ghat staff could research the rezoning history of the property. The Planning Commission and staff suggested the developer hold. a neighborhood meeting. As a result of that meeting, the adjoining property owner to the east offered to sell 40 feet of property to the Larsons to .reduce the overall density of the development and allow the sewer and water extensions to cross his property. The Larsons. agreed to separate the. project into two buildings to better conform with the character of the neighborhood.. Mr. Sobota stated the Planning Commission, Environmental Affairs.. Committee and Parks & Recreation Committee,-recommend approval of the project. The. developer has signed the development agreement, provided a letter of intent from a bank to .issue the letter of credit and has paid all fees. Councilmember Harvey asked why the buildings were only moved 10 feet apart., given the extra 40 feet the developer acquired from the adjoining property owner. Mr. Sobota explained that the buildings. could. not be separated more than 10 feet without the need for a setback variance from the side and rear yard lot lines. 91.184 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to approve Resolution No. 91-120 vacating a portion of East Avenue on property located south of 208th Street and east of Holiday Avenue.
