Meeting opened at 7 :30 P.M. Minutes of the preceeding meeting read and approved. New Business : Mr. Chamberlin of Colonial Investments returned to this meeting to resubmit their request for the construction of a new apartment complex consisting of 2 - 18 apartment units to be built on lots 1 thru 12, block 10 Coopers addition, along with a proposed building expansion of Maple Manor Nursing Home on block 9 of Cooper's addition. Also request- ing the Commissions ' opinion and recommendation relative to the condemnation of that part of Stillwater Ave. that is platted between block 9-10 Coopers addition running from Owen Street on the west to Corneliun Street on the east. The property fronting this portion of the street is owned by Colonial Investments . The area as described is zoned R-B two-family district. This requires the issuance of a special permit. Discussion: Mr. Chamberlin presented plot plans showing location of proposed apartments , parking areas and perspective illustration of a typical apartment building. General discussion followed. The Commission is generally interested in that sufficient off-street parking is available and would like to see garages available or fencing to obscure the general parking lot. A requirement to build garages was not stressed by the Commission because it may be a factor detre- mental* in the rental costs of the apartment units . Mr. Chamberlin stated that garages may be built at a later date depending on the demands of the tenants. Water and sewer are no factor and there would be no assessments for these services placed against ad- joining property owners . The Commission was in general accord that this -new apartment complex with the expansion of Maple Manor would enhance this area of Stillwater. The Commission feels that the vacating of Stillwater Ave. as previously described is necessary for the expansion and improvement of Maple Manor Rest Home.
