J Special Council Meeting June 12, 1972 Page Two Mayor Hilde requested: i. The Staff develop data and a map identifyin4 the location and numter of housi ig units that would qualify as low and medium income housing,, 2. That 1n the Guide Plan they build a "mix" within a certain development on a devel- oper's PUD;write the percentage requirement that will be low and medium cost hous- i ng. Types of Developments. Mayor Hilde brought up a point in Ban Con's letter whereby it,was suggested that the planned unit development" regulations would control '.he type of developments in Ply- mouth. Councilman Spaeth felt that with *fie additional levels of zoning being planned, density would dictate the types of buildings. He suggested that credits be given to the developer for underground parking, 34 story buildings and quality features, so that under the new Zoning Ordinel,Ice we would exchange densit.for quality. Mayor Hilde read a letter from the Minnesota Housing Institute wherein Neill T. Carter, Executive Director, voiced his objection to the regul"ions imposed on builders in the Village of Plymouth. Mayor Hilde felt that tha association's stand was to lower stan- dards, not upgrade them. Councilman Seibold felt that they are making a plea for very liberalized rules and regulations in the Zoning Ordinance on an over-all basis, not just Plymouth; whereas, the Council and our Zoning Ordinance is inly concerned with Plymouth. Mayor Hilde requested that Planner Overhiser droft a letter to Mr. Carter, expressing the Council's intent with regard to the proposed amendments.
