E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Section 67301 says that platting is required when a
subdivision creates five or more lots. Section 67.406 gives criteria for the review of �
subdivision applications. These criteria are covered below in the fmdings secrion of this
staff report.
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: Until the townhouse developmenY proposal, there were no
zoning cases concerning this properry. The townhouse development is being builT at the
same number of housing units that would be permitted as detached houses in the R-2
zone, but attached townhouses aze being built under the terms of special condition use
permit 98-163 issued by the Planning Commission on 8125l98. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the proposed development The pernrit was
approved by a unanunous voice vote with four conditions: a landscaped island in the cul-
de-sac; expert advice on mitigating railroad noise; vacation of W. Ivy Street right-of way;
and townhouse platting. The City Council considers a resolution for the vacation of W.
Ivy Street on 2/24/99. As of February 1999, four of the townhouses aze under
construction.
G DISTRICT COiJNCIL RECOD�Il�'IENDATION: Last July when the Planning
Commission was considering the special condition use permit, the District 6 Planning
Council recommended approval of the development with four conditians, which were
incorporated into the Planning Commission's approval resolurion.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS: �
All the applicable provisions of tfie Legislative Code are complied with. This fmding
is met. City staff have reviewed the proposed preliminary and final piat and have
reviewed the site pIan. They have determined that all appIicable provisions of city codes
aze met.
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimentai to the present and potential
surrounding iand uses. This $nding is met. The townhouses are surrounded by an
apartment complex, railroad tracks and city-owned btuff 1and. The traffic increase on W.
Cottage Ave. wilt be similar to the increase if the site were built with singte-family
houses. The effects on surrounding property were taken into consideration by the
Platuting Commission when it approved the special condition use permit.
3. The area surrounding the snbdivision caa be p2anned and developed in coordination
and compatibility with the proposed subdiv4sion. This findiag is met. If any of the
large bluff-side lots to the west are ever subdivided, they would probably get streei access
from the west by an extension of Cohanssey Street, not through a Cottage Street
ea�tension due Yo the sTeep topography.
4. The subdivision is in conformance with the Comprehensive Pla�►. This finding is met.
2 �
aq.�43
The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan currenfly under discussion by the City
• Council calls for new housing developmettt to attract the empty nester mazket that will
grow rapidly during the next two decades.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important eaListing natural
features, wherever possible. This finding is met. The site is at the base of the
Wheelock Bluff. It wi11 have two retaining walis along the steepest segments of the
western side of the development, but more than rivo-thirds of the westem side will have
graded slopes without any retaining walls. The development will be landscaped to attract
home buyers.
6. All land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering residents
by peril from flood, erosion, continuousty high water table, severe soii conditions or
otber menace. This finding is met. The special condition use permit inciudes conditions
about noise insulation and emergency vehicie maneuvering. No unsafe conditions were
uncovered in the stafPs site plan review process.
'The development can be economicatly served with public facilities and services.
This finding is met. The public utility issues were worked out in the site plan review
process. Street access to the townhouses wi11 be from Conservatory Court, which wi11 be
a private street maintained by the homeowners' association.
� I STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on required findings 1 through 7, staff
recommends approval of the preliminary and final plat for Wheelock Pazkway Cottages at
1310-1368 Conservatory Court (between Cottage Ave. and Western Ave.) by Better
Living Homes, Inc. with the following conditions:
1. The developer shall file a copy of the Council Resolution approving the plat with
the Ramsey County Recorder's Office. The developer shall file a copy of the
Council Resolution on each property deed within the development.
2. A copy of the Council Resolution sha11 be attached to and become part of the
townhouse declaration for this development which shall be provided to each
property purchaser and their successors.
3. Except for small wall anchors, screws, or nails suitable for attaching pictures,
frames, shelves or similaz attachments, the common interior "pariy walls"
between units shail not be altered, penetrated, or modified in any way without first
receiving proper approvals and permits from the City of Saint Paul Office of
License, Inspection, and Environmental Protection (LIEP).

E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Section 67301 says that platting is required when a
subdivision creates five or more lots. Section 67.406 gives criteria for the review of �
subdivision applications. These criteria are covered below in the fmdings secrion of this
staff report.
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: Until the townhouse developmenY proposal, there were no
zoning cases concerning this properry. The townhouse development is being builT at the
same number of housing units that would be permitted as detached houses in the R-2
zone, but attached townhouses aze being built under the terms of special condition use
permit 98-163 issued by the Planning Commission on 8125l98. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the proposed development The pernrit was
approved by a unanunous voice vote with four conditions: a landscaped island in the cul-
de-sac; expert advice on mitigating railroad noise; vacation of W. Ivy Street right-of way;
and townhouse platting. The City Council considers a resolution for the vacation of W.
Ivy Street on 2/24/99. As of February 1999, four of the townhouses aze under
construction.
G DISTRICT COiJNCIL RECOD�Il�'IENDATION: Last July when the Planning
Commission was considering the special condition use permit, the District 6 Planning
Council recommended approval of the development with four conditians, which were
incorporated into the Planning Commission's approval resolurion.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS: �
All the applicable provisions of tfie Legislative Code are complied with. This fmding
is met. City staff have reviewed the proposed preliminary and final piat and have
reviewed the site pIan. They have determined that all appIicable provisions of city codes
aze met.
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimentai to the present and potential
surrounding iand uses. This $nding is met. The townhouses are surrounded by an
apartment complex, railroad tracks and city-owned btuff 1and. The traffic increase on W.
Cottage Ave. wilt be similar to the increase if the site were built with singte-family
houses. The effects on surrounding property were taken into consideration by the
Platuting Commission when it approved the special condition use permit.
3. The area surrounding the snbdivision caa be p2anned and developed in coordination
and compatibility with the proposed subdiv4sion. This findiag is met. If any of the
large bluff-side lots to the west are ever subdivided, they would probably get streei access
from the west by an extension of Cohanssey Street, not through a Cottage Street
ea�tension due Yo the sTeep topography.
4. The subdivision is in conformance with the Comprehensive Pla�►. This finding is met.
2 �
aq.�43
The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan currenfly under discussion by the City
• Council calls for new housing developmettt to attract the empty nester mazket that will
grow rapidly during the next two decades.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important eaListing natural
features, wherever possible. This finding is met. The site is at the base of the
Wheelock Bluff. It wi11 have two retaining walis along the steepest segments of the
western side of the development, but more than rivo-thirds of the westem side will have
graded slopes without any retaining walls. The development will be landscaped to attract

E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Section 67301 says that platting is required when a
subdivision creates five or more lots. Section 67.406 gives criteria for the review of �
subdivision applications. These criteria are covered below in the fmdings secrion of this
staff report.
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: Until the townhouse developmenY proposal, there were no
zoning cases concerning this properry. The townhouse development is being builT at the
same number of housing units that would be permitted as detached houses in the R-2
zone, but attached townhouses aze being built under the terms of special condition use
permit 98-163 issued by the Planning Commission on 8125l98. The Planning
Commission held a public hearing on the proposed development The pernrit was
approved by a unanunous voice vote with four conditions: a landscaped island in the cul-
de-sac; expert advice on mitigating railroad noise; vacation of W. Ivy Street right-of way;
and townhouse platting. The City Council considers a resolution for the vacation of W.
Ivy Street on 2/24/99. As of February 1999, four of the townhouses aze under
construction.
G DISTRICT COiJNCIL RECOD�Il�'IENDATION: Last July when the Planning
Commission was considering the special condition use permit, the District 6 Planning
Council recommended approval of the development with four conditians, which were
incorporated into the Planning Commission's approval resolurion.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS: �
All the applicable provisions of tfie Legislative Code are complied with. This fmding
is met. City staff have reviewed the proposed preliminary and final piat and have
reviewed the site pIan. They have determined that all appIicable provisions of city codes
aze met.
2. The proposed subdivision will not be detrimentai to the present and potential
surrounding iand uses. This $nding is met. The townhouses are surrounded by an
apartment complex, railroad tracks and city-owned btuff 1and. The traffic increase on W.
Cottage Ave. wilt be similar to the increase if the site were built with singte-family
houses. The effects on surrounding property were taken into consideration by the
Platuting Commission when it approved the special condition use permit.
3. The area surrounding the snbdivision caa be p2anned and developed in coordination
and compatibility with the proposed subdiv4sion. This findiag is met. If any of the
large bluff-side lots to the west are ever subdivided, they would probably get streei access
from the west by an extension of Cohanssey Street, not through a Cottage Street
ea�tension due Yo the sTeep topography.
4. The subdivision is in conformance with the Comprehensive Pla�►. This finding is met.
2 �
aq.�43
The Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan currenfly under discussion by the City
• Council calls for new housing developmettt to attract the empty nester mazket that will
grow rapidly during the next two decades.
5. The subdivision preserves and incorporates the site's important eaListing natural
features, wherever possible. This finding is met. The site is at the base of the
Wheelock Bluff. It wi11 have two retaining walis along the steepest segments of the
western side of the development, but more than rivo-thirds of the westem side will have
graded slopes without any retaining walls. The development will be landscaped to attract
home buyers.
6. All land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering residents
by peril from flood, erosion, continuousty high water table, severe soii conditions or
otber menace. This finding is met. The special condition use permit inciudes conditions
about noise insulation and emergency vehicie maneuvering. No unsafe conditions were
uncovered in the stafPs site plan review process.
'The development can be economicatly served with public facilities and services.
This finding is met. The public utility issues were worked out in the site plan review
process. Street access to the townhouses wi11 be from Conservatory Court, which wi11 be
a private street maintained by the homeowners' association.
� I STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on required findings 1 through 7, staff
recommends approval of the preliminary and final plat for Wheelock Pazkway Cottages at
1310-1368 Conservatory Court (between Cottage Ave. and Western Ave.) by Better
Living Homes, Inc. with the following conditions:
1. The developer shall file a copy of the Council Resolution approving the plat with
the Ramsey County Recorder's Office. The developer shall file a copy of the
Council Resolution on each property deed within the development.
2. A copy of the Council Resolution sha11 be attached to and become part of the
townhouse declaration for this development which shall be provided to each
property purchaser and their successors.
3. Except for small wall anchors, screws, or nails suitable for attaching pictures,
frames, shelves or similaz attachments, the common interior "pariy walls"
between units shail not be altered, penetrated, or modified in any way without first
receiving proper approvals and permits from the City of Saint Paul Office of
License, Inspection, and Environmental Protection (LIEP).
