Fridgen said the City will begin an advertising campaign to explain the program, and phone book recycling program will occur in July and August. Rebelein questioned whether additional recycling bins would be needed. Fridgen said the additional material could set on top or against the recycling bin. Additional bins are available at City Hall at a cost of $7. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Rebelein, to AUTHORIZE THE ADDITION OF MAGAZINES AND JUNK MAIL TO THE CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM BEGINNING JULY 1, 1993. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. City Planner Erny Mattila presented the site plan review/rezoning for W ooddale Builders. The applicant requests to rezone the property (located near Cleveland Ave. and 4th St. SE) from R-2, Two Family Residential to B-1, Limited Business. The applicant wishes to build a 5,500 sq. ft. office building on the site. Staff recommended to the Planning Commission the denial of the request because a 100 ft. wide lot zoned R-2, w9uld be located between a B-1 and R- 3A districts. Staff feels that such an arrangement encourages haphazard land use patterns, and would prefer rezoning the entire R-2 district to B-l. The Planning Commission approved the request so the proposed building could be built and the house on the lot adjacent to the north may continue as a permitted use. Council has at three options: approve rezoning of entire R - 2 district to B-1; approve rezoning of a large portion of R-2 to B-1; or deny the request to rezone a large portion of the R-2 to B-1. The rezoning of the entire district would allow the proposed building, but would cause the home to become a type II nonconforming use. The homeowner favors the rezoning only if he were bought out and relocated. Rezoning a large portion from R-2 to B-1 allows the building and house to continue as a permitted use. The homeowner does not favor this option because he does not want to live between an office building and apartment complex and is concerned in regards to the property value after rezoning. Denial of the request would not alter the R-2 district which could accommodate three single family homes, three two family homes or six townhouse units. The homeowner would continue as a permitted use and favors this option. Council Business Recycling and Magazines and Junk: Mail Report 93-145 W ooddale Builders Rezoning Report 93-146
