Pinecone Rezone Petition

Once again Torborg builders has little regard for the wishes of residence in St. Cloud as well as disregard for our city comprehensive plan by attempting another hearing to rezone property at 1999 Pine Cone Rd and the southern portion of the property at 1971 Pine Cone Rd from R2, Single Family and two family residential district to Planned Unit Development (PUD).

If approved, it’d allow for a 75unit, multi family apartment building and 12 single family detached homes along the southern and western property lines.

In November 2017 we created a petition against the rezone which was originally proposed as a 100 unit, multi family apartment complex and no single family homes.

We had obtained 250 signatures from property owners and their family members. Ultimately our goal was accomplished by the planning and zoning commission “not recommend” the rezone to City Council. Our City Council also ruled in our favor; not rezoning the property.

Yet, here we are... again telling the city we do not agree with the apartment building.

Please take some time to come to the public hearing with the Planning Commission on Tuesday June 12, 2018 at 6pm in the City Council Chambers. Next stop following this hearing will be City Council meeting which is on Monday, July 9th, 2018 at 6pm in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
