REGULAR 22EETIII� OF iHE OROr10 COUi1CIL, FEBRU�RY 13, 1979 Page 13 <br /> Mr. Jim Bruce, representing Fred Herfurth, reviewed PRD/SUBDIVISIOr <br /> the past history of the application for �a PFZD/Sub- 225 North Fernc <br /> � division/Conditional Use Perr.►it, at 225 Plorth Ferndale, �434 <br /> and its concept cor.uaenting that we believe the PRD , Fred Herfurth <br /> concept is appropriate for the area to accorunodate <br /> our Fior.leowner' s Association proposal. <br /> S^lATEP'iEP7T BY SUBDIVIDER: <br /> "The owners, Jim Bruce, Steve Bruce, Jiri Lawrence, • <br /> and Fred Herfurth, all residents of G•7ayzata and <br /> Orono, intend to develop the Abrahamson propertv <br /> (225 North Ferndale) ir.u�ediately, if approved, into <br /> eight single far.iily residences, attached, in pairs. <br /> The existing residence will be "added to" to create <br /> two residences; an additional three structures of <br /> two units each cvill be constructed. Property is <br /> served by sewer and water from �aayzata. j•�ayzata has <br /> approved this density for utilities. <br /> The intended raarket will be older "empty nesters" . <br /> We expect a density of 2.1 persons per dwelling. <br /> The archi�ecture will be "rustic traditional" , <br /> and the price range �•�ill be $150, 00� - 200, 000 per . <br /> unit. Al1 property, other than the platted lot, <br /> will he ocvned, governed, and.maintained by a Fior.ie <br /> Ocaner' s Association, all specified and rec�ulated <br /> bv Deed Restrictions. This will include tennis <br /> courts, roads,• lawns and wild areas. ' <br /> The density and architecture will confor-ri with <br /> surrounding neighborhoods. t•�e know there is a <br /> demand for this "way of life" , as eic�ht of the eight <br /> units are asked for. All eight purchasers are <br /> "Lake Area Residents" , who desire to rid themselves <br /> of the problens of raain�aining their present hones <br /> and exchange for a "new, easier-way-of-life" and <br /> remain in the Lake Area which they love. " ' <br /> :iayor Van 21est: The topography has to be considered <br /> as a hardship wliich does not adhere to perforr.iance <br /> standards. <br /> Jir.l Bruce: I believe this proposal conforr.is to <br /> areas adjacent to this. Traffic is not an issue. <br /> jae believe the nui-iber of units would be esthe�icallv <br /> sound. <br /> 1'layor Van Nest: I have a problem with the two variances <br /> required which are: <br /> 1. Density <br /> 2. Attached garages. � <br /> Mayor Van Nest read the follo�aing letters into the record: <br /> Letters - Pages 14-22 � (Continued, Page 23) <br />
