Public hearing The building is located at 915 Hopkins. For the record two memos were submitted: Planning Office on September 2, 1977, and City Engineer on August 23, 1977. The Planning Office recommends approval of the plat upon fulfilment of the conditions listed by the City Engineer. Nick McGrath, counsel for AEM, said that was okay. A letter dated September 9, 1977, was entered into the record from Nick McGrath. Smith said that the existing policy on condominiumization must be followed since Council has not looked at the policy. McGrath explained that AEM is nine people who own five shares in AEM. They built the present building under ordinance 19. Five of the condominiums will be bought and of those several will be lived in on a continual basis. The owners need to convey the mortgages to themselves in order to alleviate financial problems. AEM wans the existing tenants to buy their studio units. Collins opened the meeting to the public. There were no comments. He closed the public hearing. Isaac asked if there was a clause to have separate utilities. McGrath said that they were already separate and that there was also six month rent restriction. Ensign moved to grant the preliminary plat review application to AEM Pioneer Condominium Subdivision subject to the conditions listed in the City Engineer's memo of August 23, 1977, and subject to six month rent restriction and the right of first refusal. Klar seconded the motion. All in favor; motion passed. Merson duplex Smith present the Merson Duplex subdivision exemption request. It was subdivision built in 1976 on Cemetery Lane and is owned by Alan Merson. It complies exemption with all the zoning requirements. The City Engineer thinks there will be no problems with it. He reserves the right to review the application before City Council decides on it. The Planning Office recommends approval subject to the City Engineer and subject to six month lease restriction and the right of first refusal. Brooke Peterson, lawyer for the appellant, said that the present tenant does not want to buy their side of the duplex. It has a passive solar system. Merson will keep his unit and the other unit will sell for $110,000 to $120,000. condominiumization is necessary to enable the purchaser to finance the purchase. Alan would like to sell it to a local. This particular subdivision prohibits further subdivision.

All in favor; motion passed. At this point Collins excused himself Hedstrom assumed chairman. PP Aspen Grove Joe We s presented the Aspen Grove PUD exemption request. F{e said PUD exemption that the Cooper Street viewplane was established in 1974. Aspen Grove Associates wish to add 9400 square feet on a second story. There are three factors: 1) the viewplane is entered in the rear and on both sides; 2) the present building exceeds open space requirements, and 3) the FAR allows 11,000 more feet of expansion. The Planning Office has asked. for a building height on the second floor. The garden area should have been deed restricted as open space, but it was not. The Planning Office has requested that the garden area remain. It is a major intrusion on the front elevation. Andy Hecht, attorney for the applicant, said that the viewplane from the point where it is measured is only marginally obstructed from vision. The evolution of the design occurred over a two year period through negotiations with the Planning Office. The point is to save the garden. David Hauter, the architect, displayed a model. He discussed the viewplane as designed. It is below the FAR. The only desire is to make a second story which will work. Klar said that presently almost the top of Little Nell's can be seen. Hecht said the choice is between the garden and the viewplane. Hauter said that a four story building is allowed, but nobody wants that. Ensign said that two story building fronts are important to the street scape. This building serves the architectural purposes. Isaac was not so excited about the prospects of destroying the viewplane. He liked a variety of building sizes. The impact on the viewplane is too great. Isaac would be happier to compromise and have an eight foot setback all around the courtyard. Ensign thought that it was exemplary that the designers discussed the process and planned with the Planning Office. Hedstrom agreed. However he was not perfectly happy with the results. Hecht said that the evolution of the design was to accomodate everyone's wishes. The garden should be considered. It could be destroyed. Hauter said that a compromise was trying to be reached. the FAR is under 1.5:1. The total viewplane cannot be kept. Aspen Grove is giving up over 1,000 feet of floor space. Wells said that since the garden is not deed restricted this was an excellent compromise. Klar wanted the 8 foot setback considered. Ensign moved to approve the exemption and encroactunent on the viewplane. There was no second. The motion died. Isaac moved that the Aspen Grove application with amendments to have an eight foot setback on the entire garden area on the second story meet the viewplane and that the building be exempted from the PUD process and that the conditions of the Planning Office in an August 31, 1977 memo be followed. Schuhmacher seconded the motion, All in favor except Klar. Motion passed. Isaac moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Klar. All in favor; meeting adjourned at 7:00 PM. ~' Elisa~th Sherrill, Deputy City Clerk
