April 29, 1970
Mr. Harry E. Marshall
City Clerk
Room 386 City Hall
Dear Sir:
This is written in response to the application of Virgil Doerfler
for a permit to install an 82-car parking lot in conjunction with two
41-unit apartment buildings. The property involved is located on the
southeast corner of Ames Avenue and Johnson Parkway, and is noted in
detail on the attached legal description.
This matter was considered at the February 5, 1970, Board of
Zoning meeting. The staff reported that the site is of irregular
topography, is zoned Heavy Industry, and abuts railroad right-of-way
on the south and park land on the west. The staff questioned the
size of the site and expressed concern that any development may have
a detrimental effect on adjacent property because of the irregular
topography. Revised plans would be necessary if the application is
approved. A report from the Traffic Engineer was noted which recommends
denial of this application because of the following factors:
1) the proposed T. H. ��61 extension would go
through the apartment site; '
2) the driveway from the parking lot enters
Ames Avenue at a bad location (too close
to the intersection) and also cuts across
park property;
3) one-to-one parking ratio is not adequate.
A letter from the Public Works Department was noted which indicated
that the Department has an interest in the property because of proposed
highway plans and although there is no schedule for acquisition of the
property, they would hope that no construction would take place within
the proposed right-of-way. A letter from the Parks Department noted that
the proposed development is undesirable from that Department's point-of-
view and that parkways should not be used as front yards. The letter
indicated that if the development is to be carried out, a larger setback
from the park land would be desirable. Submitted plans indicate only
four feet between the building and the park property.
Mr. Joseph Summers, attorney representing the applicant, said that
they would conform to the density requirements. Concerning the abutting
park land, he noted that the nearest building would be 170 feet from the
Johnson Parkway roadway and that, if necessary, they could yield the
driveway to Ames Avenue and have access only to Prosperity Avenue.

. ,
Mr. Harry E. Marshall (continued) April 29, 1970
One neighborhood resident appeared and indicated that there is a
parking problem and that he would ask the Traffic Division to erect
"No Parking" signs.
Subsequently, it was the finding of the Board of Zoning, by a
5-0 vote, to recommend approval of this application, subject to the
condition that traffic standards be met with proper curb cuts and
that revised plans meet parking lot design standards.
Revised plans received March 24, 1970, eliminate access to Ames
Avenue and a letter from Mr. Summers dated April 3, 1970, certifies
that the number of proposed units is reduced from 82 to 81, and that
property line grades will not be raised to become higher than that of
abutting property.
Very truly yours,

8. STAFF INVESI'IGATION AND REPORT: Date: 1/30/70 By: CLS
A. FiISTORY: Application for a permit to install a 30-car parking lot was withdrawn
on Au�ust 27, 1969, because the proposed development did not meet the density
requirements of the Zoning Code.
B. AREA ZONING: The areas to the west and north are Heavy Industry; south across the
railroad is largely "B" Residence; to the immediate east is a mixture of Light and
Heavy Ind«stry, with a mixture of residential districts further to the east.
C. DESIGN STANDARDS : The proposed parking area meets minimum required design standards
for this type of development.
D. FRONTAGE, AREA AND LOT COVERAGE: An irregularly-shaped tract having an area of
about 77,500 square feet and frontages of 408 feet along the Johnson Parkway right-
of-way, 1�3 feet along Ames Avenue, and 175 feet along Prosperity Avenue.
E. TRAFFTC r�1CINEER: 7'he Txai�fic rngineer has reviewed the application and recommends
clenial based upoi� the following factors: 1) the proposed T.H. ��61 extension would
go through the npartment site; 2) the driveway from the parkitig lot enters Ames Ave.
at a bad location (too close to the intersection) and also cuts across park property;
and 3) one-to-one parking ratio is not adequate.
F. SITE CONDITIONS: The site is currently occupied by two single-family residences in
fair condition. The land is of irregular topography & is above the grade of Johnson Pwy.
G. AREA CONDITIONS: Johnson Parkway right-of-way abuts on the west and railroad right-
of-way is on the south. Areas to the north and west have industrial uses while those
to the south and east are occupied by residential uses . A communication from the Public
Works Dept. indicates that while there is no schedule for acquisition of the property,
they would hope that no construction take place within the proposed right-of-way. A
communication from the Parks Dept. notes the develo ment is undesirable from their point-
of-view and recommends a la setback so a no� be detrimental y,

Re: Application of Virgil Doerfler
for Parking Lot Permit
Our File No. 37 42
Dear Mr. Sorenson:
On behalf of Virgil Doerfler, applic�ant herein, I hereby
certify that:
(1) The above application is amended to provide that
only 81 apartment units will be built �n the property,
although 82 parking spaces will be provided, and
(2) When the apartments are built, Mr. Doerfler will not
change the grade at the boundary lines in such a way
as to make the ground level on the apartment site
hiqher than that of abutting property.
I trust the above assurances will, in accord with our con-
ference of yesterday, make it possible for this application
to be scheduled for hearing bef�re the �ouncil at the
earliest possible time.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
��L1�M'r�'fL{ri.

Dear Sir:
Subject; Proposed parking lot
on southeast corner of Ames
Avenue and Johnson Parkway
In connection with your letter of January 28� 1970, this wlll inform
ycu tt�at tl�e Public Works Department does have an intereat in the
property in question.
However, there is no scheduled project or plan for the acquisition
of property and development of extended Highway 6� , and there are
no f��nds available for the purchase of the property at this time.
4!e would encourage any construction that would be built in connec-
tion with this proJect to be built outside of the proposed right-of-
way, However, we realize that this would be difficult, if not
impossible, in this case.
Very trul yours,
��, ,

RE: Zoning Application of
Dear Mr. Sorenson: Virgil Doerfler (Z.F. �6937)
We are in receipt uf your recent note concerning the matter
of the proposed apartment building constructi�n in the vicinity
of Ames Avenue and Johnson Parkway. I[ appears from the site
plan that such a development would be very undesirable from the
standpoint of the Parks Department. Parkways were not and should
not be c�nsidered as front yards to multi-family residentj.al units
constructed on or near the property line. If such a development
is to be carried out, it would be highly desirable to have a set-
back from the property line of 2� percent of the depth of the lot
as in the case of "A" and "B" resid�nces. The building location
as proposed would, in my opinion, be detrimental to the park
praperty and not in the best interests of the general public.
Sincerely youra,
�� .�,���

Superin�endent of Parks
