KELLY AVENUE HOLDING’GO. 2500 KELLY AVENUE SUBDIVISION AND PLAfiilED PESirawriAL DEVELOFT^rr Gloria HcDiMiald, I^ad Van Nest, George Ilosfield, Diane Dunlap, Hregg Hannah and Zoning Administrator, Henry Mtiiich. Chainnan Pesek called to order the Public Hearing on the application of the Kelly Avenue Holding Company for a sub division and Planned Residential Development for property located at 2500 Kelly Avenue. The Zoning Administrator '' read the Notice of Public Hearing and presented the Affi davit of Pi^licaticn. Darrel Ludwauf, representing the Kelly A'?f?nue Holding Company, explained his plan to build three condominium duplexes on Lot 1 of the plan and remove** the present existing apartment building at the site. The plan is to build two of the isiits and then remove the old building before the third duplex is constnicted. Basi cally, Lots 2, 3 and 4 were cue acre single-family lots and on Lot 2 was an existing cabin. Mr. Ludwauf stated that the conpany's plans are to move the cabin, but noted that this must be done in winter across the ice, otherwise it would necessitate the removal of a large number of trees. The cabin, in its present low location, could not be code ::o r^'cted to sewer or water without the aid of a lift station, applicants planned to leave the existing garage on Lot W^ecause it was in good condition and could be utilized oy a purchaser. An easement would be given to Lots 2 and 4 through a driveway on Lot 3. Van Nest noted that Lot 1 contained 160,000 sq. ft, of dry buildable area and that the 20» x 500* comnercial strip contained only 10,000 sq. ft. which would leave sufficient acreage, even wi^out the rezoning proposal, to utilize tlie plan. The Conmission agreed that the sketch plan submitted by the applicant did not give sufficient information for them to approve the PRD portion of the application. Mr. Everett Schrbeder of 2565 Kelly Avenue objected to the proposal and felt it was a mistake to put duplexes on a lakeshore ccxnplex. He stated that lx)t 1 on the entire west end gets wet quickly and that the east end was full of water now. Tlie applicant pointed Lhat the tract was next to a parking lot across from a bowling alley and would not have the privacy requirements for single-family dwellings and called attention to the unsi^tly steep bank tliat would be viewed from the tract. He felt the duplex tenants were more tolerant of such a situation, fhr. Schroeder stated that the present blacktop of the bowling alley extended into Lot 1 of the applicants pr^rty. The Commission requested the applicant' clarify uiis situation throu^ new surveys showing the location of the blacktop in relation to the lot line. Mr. Ludwauf stated he plsuied to subdivide so that each unit would ^ve a property line a foot or two beyond the building Vhd that the rest of the land be jointly held in a coopera- -ive agreement. Several menhers of the Commission advised against this because of the perpetual maintenance problem and enforcement by the City if a public nuisance situation I;- '1 i i
