Capitol Area Comp Plan: Comments Needed!

9/21/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board (CAAPB) is a planning area just to the East of Summit-University. They aren't necessarily a District Council, but they do act on similar issues. They are currently creating a comprehensive plan. 

The CAAPB Comp Plan is being written and released in chapters.  They are currently working on Chapter 6, which focuses on Land Use. They have requested that interested parties submit written comment by September 30.

Why this matters:
  • They are acting on their land use chapter right now because of the potential development where Sears was. If this had been a housing area when District Councils were created, it would have been part of Summit-University. 
  • What gets built there will impact Summit-University. We need to make sure that it aligns with the needs of this community. We also need to make sure that it will not create conditions that may harm the stability of this community.

Ramsey County Public Works is planning to hold a community meeting at the Rondo Library to discuss the construction of the Dale Street Bridge and to prepare the community for the disruption. Construction is still planned to begin in 2020. 

They have not officially released meeting details, but a staff person reached out to say that it should be on November 20. 

We will be encouraging people to go, and gathering questions for Ramsey County to prepare to answer. Do you have any construction-related questions or thoughts? Let us know!

Watch an animation of the new bridge concept here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE6HQULFemk&index=1&list=PLMVpBjXUcBQZIIrlGPF6GePGfg5828RKs

235 Mackubin Lot Split

9/21/2019

​
The applicant is proposing that they will demolish an existing duplex that was damaged by fire two years ago, and construct a new side-by-side duplex on the lot. 

The lot is currently zoned to require that the back yard is 25 feet (from back of the lot to where the building begins).

The building they would like to build would take up slightly more of the back yard, and leave 20 feet 11 inches of green space.

They have to apply for a variance (case by case permission to do something outside of the city's rules) to have a back yard that is 4 feet 1 inch smaller than normal.

This item will be on an upcoming Summit-University Planning Council Agenda
