Township 33. Range 26. Sherburne County. Minnesota which is a parcel of 4.0 acres more or less; (this is a partial legal description) Mr. Weicht stated that the above described parcel is not readily adaptable to R1-b residential useage due to the shape and location of the property. He also presented a map of the area to the Commission and the public. Chairman Wilson asked Rohlf what the maximum useage would be for this property. Rohlf stated that on the entire parcel one -12 unit building. without further approvals such as a lot split is possible. if the zone change is approved. Commissioner Morton questioned the potential for the split. He continued by stating that the property. could hold a maximum of four (4) - 12 unit apartment buildings. Chairman Wilson opened the public hearing. Jim Nystrom stated he is opposed to the zone change request because of the affect this would have on his property values. He stated that in an R-3 zone. developers try to maximize density and you cannot dictate buffers. building materials or structures. Nystrom feels that. if he would want to develope his property later. he would have no choice in the matter. He went on to say that an R-3 zone is very high density for the area. Jim Spenser stated that when he was considering purchasing neighboring property. he was fairly assured that the zoning would remain residential and would like to see this happen.
