Members present: Ben Kremer, Art Budde, S. Kathleen Kalinowski,
Phillip Durkee, Hub Klein
Visitors: Mike Husen, Joe Bettendorf, Bill Meierhofer
Meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m.
The minutes from March 2, March 15, and April 6 were approved.
Bill Meierhofer requested a variance for building a house and attached
garage on the property at 219 Able St., the Gunner Johnson lot. Since
the lot is narrow, a 5 foot sideyard set-back rather than the usual 10-
foot would be needed. After clarifying that the alley behind the lot
may not be open or dedicated, the variance request was withdraJ~.
Attention was turned to the PURD specifications. The issue of limiting
multiple dwellings to 20% of the PURD plots vs. 35% WQS discussed. The
following information was calculated for 20 acre plots under the drafted
maximum density specifications with land for streets and parks subtracted.
I1ultiple-dwelling Sing-Ie-dwelling-
35% multiple 5.1 acres 9.5 acres
14 units/acre 4 units/acre
71 units total 38 units total
Average net density = 7.1 units/acre for 14.6 acres net
20% multiple 2.9 acres 11. 7 acres
14 units/acre 4 units/acre
41 units total 47 units total
Average net density = 6.1 units/acre
These net densities were compared to Cloverdale Estates (2nd Add.)--
8.0 units/acre, and to Hollow Fark--5.6 units/acre. Attention was
drawn to the fact that areas other than PURD acres will be zoned for
multiple-dwelling housing.
Meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
