DATE: September 21, 1971 CASE NUMBER: R-66 APPLICANT: Viewcon Inc. LOCATION: Southwest Quarter of Section 19, Township 30, Range 23 situated generally in the Northwest Quadrant of I-694 and Silver Lake Road REG2U-EST: Rezone certain .lands from R-1 to R-4 and from R-1 to R-5 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: The request for rezoning of a portion of the Viewcon properties was tabled at i°he August 17th meeting to allow the developer time to provide more information with regard to the proposed development. The area under consideration is generally hilly terrain with mixed hardwood vegetational cover in the extreme western portion of the property. Much of the property will require substantial fill and grading if it is to be developed; part of the site appears to have been victimized by gravel extraction at an earlier date. A number of difficulties are apparent with regard to the request as submitted. The descriptions of the parcels for which rezoning is requested do not coincide with the legal description provided in the abstractor's certificate. As a result, if the request were approved as submitted, the northerly 75' of the Vi I lage of New Brighton property described as "the west 1/2 of the N412 feet of the NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 19, T30, R23" would be rezoned to an R-4 classification. If our calculations are correct, based on the description provided on the abstract- or's certificate which was secured from the office of the Village Clerk, the request is to rezone 30 acres+ or -from R-1 to R-4 and 15 acres+ or -from R-1 to R-5. Using minimum square footage requirements in the R-5 zone as a guideline (see New Brighton Zoning Code, Section 10-060 paragraph h) between 420 and 800+ units could be erected on the 15 acre site. An additional 350 to 600 units could be erected on the 30 acre site. If we assume the middle range value in each case, nearly 1100 units would be constructed on the 45 acre total site. In general terms, such a project would increase the community population by approximately 2,750 persons. These people could be expected to generate mini- mally 7,000 vehicle trips daily all of which would probably involve Silver Lake Road and one or two intersection.
