Dear Mike and Sue:
Staff has reviewed your submittal for 614 Remington R-H Conversion and has
the following comments. Revisions based on these comments are due in the
Planning Office by noon on March 5, 1985. I suggest we meet as soon as
possible if you have any questions.
1. As we discussed earlier, the landscape plan and site plan must be
transferred to a 24" by 3 6" sheet of mylar with the required signature
blocks.
2. The site plan lacks detail. Improvements up to the existing street
.(including sidewalk) must be shown and properly dimensioned.
3. A note should be added to the plan stating that any damaged curb,
gutter or sidewalk will be replaced.
4. The following revisions to the landscape plan are needed:
a. Show mature sizes of all plant materials.
b. Provide landscape screening of the trash bed. Large evergreen
shrubs would work well here.
c. Indicate the type of grass.
d. Add a note to the plan on the proposed method of irrigation.
e. The extent of the shaved wood mulch is not clear. Also, how will
the transition from mulch to grass be made?
f. Additional foundation plantings should be provided on the north,
west and south sides of the building.
g. The areas around the garage and the strip south of the building
would become a maintenance problem if left in grass or mulch
because of the small amount of space. A low growing groundcover
that does not require mowing would be a good alternative.
h. Areas up to the curb should be included in the plan.
i. Will the stone walk on the north side of the building be removed?

applicant estimates two to four clients on a weekly basis. Any use
other than this type of office would come back through the planning
process as a new request. (See the attached memo from Paul Eckman.)
5. Site Design: Since the request involves utilization of an existing
structure, compatibility with the neighborhood in terms of scale, bulk,
orientation and disposition of buildings on the lot is not an issue. No
major changes in the exterior of the building are proposed. The facia
and roof would be repaired as needed and exterior trim would be
painted.
The parking lot to the rear provides five paved spaces which are
accessed from the alley. One space is also available in the existing
garage. (The applicant plans to have six people working in the
office.) A six foot wood privacy fence will be installed on both sides
of the parking area.
The landscape plan includes additional trees adjacent to the parking
lot, foundation shrub plantings and grass in front of and behind the
building. Two large elm trees are existing in front of the structure
and will be retained.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the 614 Remington Street R-H Conversion
request with the condition that approval is specific to a real estate
appraisal office.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval specific to a Real Estate Appraisal Office.
Background
This is a request for approval of an R-H Conversion request consisting of
1,269 square feet of real estate appraisal office space on a 7000 square
foot lot. The existing residence is located on the east side of Remington
Street between Laurel Street and Myrtle Street. The property is zoned R-H,
High Density Residential. Surrounding zoning and land use is as follows:
N: R-H; Residential multi -family
S: R-H; Residential multi -family
E: R-H; Residential single family
W: R-H; Residential single family.
Comments
1. Non -Residential Use Requests in the R-H Zoning District: In the R-H
zoning district, the review process entails a review of land use issues
and site design. The purpose of the R-H non-residential use review
process is to promote neighborhood stability in viable residential
Planning and Zoning Matter #14-85

areas and to manage change in existing residential areas. The
applicant must demonstrate that the proposal complies with the City's
goals, policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and
appropriate area plans. The request is being pursued based on approved
variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals for lot area, lot width, and
front yard setback.
2. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was held on January 30,
1985. The group was generally in favor of the proposal as long as the
intensity of future commercial uses on the site could be regulated. A
copy of the meeting summary is attached.
3. Comprehensive Plan: The City's Goals and Objectives encourage the
conversion of older buildings to new uses when such is compatible with
the needs of the community and can be done without irreparably damaging
or destroying the unique qualities of the building. Protection of
older residential areas from encroachment by commercial uses which may
impair their viability is also an objective. The Land Use Policies
Plan states that the City shall prepare a core area development plan to
identify where commercial/service oriented office land use areas and
high density residential areas should be located. Work has begun on
the East Side Neighborhood Plan but it is not scheduled for adoption
until October of 1985. This part of the neighborhood has conceptually
been identified as a "transition" area.
4. Land Use: The issue to be considered with respect to land use is
whether or not the impact of deleting the present use and its
contribution to the neighborhood is of greater importance than the
introduction of new land uses. Compatibility of new uses in terms of
size, scale and intensity should also be evaluated.
The applicant points out that many houses in the area are non -owner
occupied and rented to college students. Existing group homes and the
Women's Crisis Center are given as examples of other non-residential
uses in the immediate neighborhood. (See the attached narrative and map
provided by the applicant.)
Staff agrees that the trend away from residential uses has already
begun when other properties on Remington Street are considered. Many
of the residential properties in the area are deteriorating since there
is no incentive for owners to improve their rental units. Requests of
this nature can provide an opportunity to upgrade the existing
situation as long as the issues of parking and intensity of use are
addressed. In terms of land use in areas such as this, parking may
become a major limiting factor since expanses of asphalt paving do not
contribute to maintaining the residential character of a neighborhood.
To address the intensity of use issue, Staff recommends that the
approval be specific to a real estate appraisal office, a condition to
which the applicant has agreed. This is viewed as a low intensity use
since most of the business is carried out over the phone and the
