MEMORANDUM
DATE:
June 21, 2017
TO:
The Honorable City Council
FROM:
David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT:
Amending Zoning Ordinance
Ohio Street — Government & Institutional Service District
(G&ISD) to Low Density Residential District (LDR) —
Council Ordinance 17-202
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on June 20, 2017, held
a Public Hearing on the above zone change request.
Chairman Kenney opened the Public Hearing and asked the applicant or their
representative to make a brief presentation of their application.
Mr. John Frawley, member of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery Board indicated they
would like to convert this portion of the Cemetery to house lots as it has access to
public sewer and road frontage. To have burials there, they would need to be setback
from the road and the adjacent homes such that very little space could be used. Based
on existing trends, more families are electing to have remains cremated. The space
demands for land is significantly less and with columbarium use, even less. The existing
space at Mount Pleasant Cemetery is projected to be sufficient for 400 years.
Planning Officer Gould advised the Board that the applicant's rezoning request
was to provide for construction of single family homes adjacent to the Habitat for
Humanity home constructed last year. The City's long term plan has recognized the
Cemetery as an institutional use. To facilitate single family homes, Low Density
Residentail is an appropriate district.
There were no opponents to the rezoning.
Member Durgin made a motion to recommend that the City Council adopt the
application from Saint Paul the Apostle Parish for Ohio Street — Government &
Institutional Service District (G&ISD) to Low Density Residential District (LDR) — Council
Ordinance 17-202. Member Boothby seconded the motion and the Board voted
unanimously to recommend the rezoning request.
