APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Minutes of the July 22, 1991 were unanimously approved as
written.
A REQUEST FOR A PERMITTED ACCESSORY USE PERMIT FOR A UTILITY SHED
AT 1710 FRY STREET IN AN R-1 ZONE.
Administrator Hoyt briefed the commission on a request from Mr.
Windom for approval to build an 8 ft. by 8 ft. by approximately
• 7 ft high utility shed. The shed's size, location and color meet
the criteria established in section 9-2.04[1](1) of the zoning
code. Mr. Windom said his neighbors have no objection to the
building. The commission voted unanimously to approve the
request.
A REQUEST FOR A PERMITTED ACCESSORY USE PERMIT FOR A REPLACEMENT
UTILITY SHED AT 1870 TATUM STREET
Administrator Hoyt explained a request from Thomas and Kathy
Staffa for a permitted accessory use permit to replace an
existing utility shed which fell apart. The shed will be the
same size and in the same location as the previous one. The
commission approved the premitted accessory use permit.
After some discussion, Chairman Boche stated that this type of
structure should be approved in the future only if the original
structure did not have approval and then a fee would be charged.
If the previous structure was approved, it would not be reviewed
by the commission unless a change in size or height was
indicated.
REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT THE
JULY 22, 1991 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.
The commission reviewed the following six revisions made in the
• draft comprehensive plan proposal at the July 22 meeting:
1. Including a statement that requires the dedication of the
• Community Park land to the city if the agricultural fields
on Cleveland and Larpenteur become available for
development.
2. The elimination of a general reference to the city's park
and recreation plan. The elimination of Lindig Linear Park
and Garden Park from the proposed park plans due to the
infeasibility of these parks.
3. The elimination of an LRT overlay zone in the plan. The
inclusion of a statement that a light rail stop may be
proposed for the future in conjunction with the State Fair
land adjacent to Hollywood Court.
4. A policy stating that the city will review the desirability

5. The elimination of housing policies that accommodate
duplexes or mother-in-law apartments or cottages in an R-1
zone and policies directed at reducing lot sizes in R-1
zones due to the relatively small lots and proximity to the
University of Minnesota.

After a brief discussion revisions 1 thru 3 were approved as
previously recommended. Barry suggested changing reviewing the
desirability of an LRT zone in five years or less if necessary or
desirable in number 4. The commission agreed. It was also
agreed numbers 5 and 6 basically go together, therefore, number 6
was unnecessary and should be struck.
DISCUSSION OF A PRELIMINARY CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE SOUTHEAST AND
NORTHWEST CORNERS OF SNELLING AND LARPENTEUR
The commission discussed the value of including diagrams to
illustrate possible changes in the southeast and northwest
corners of Snelling and Larpenteur. Commission members thought
they might be viewed as actual plans rather than concepts. After
much discussion, it was agreed to include diagrams of the
Bullseye corner and the Hamline/Hoyt neighborhood retail area
with the SE and the NW corners of Larpenteur and Snelling in the
comprehensive plan appendix.
SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The commission tentatively scheduled a public hearing on the plan
for Monday, November 18. The plan will be available to the
public before the public hearing. Residents who participated in
. the forums will be notified two to three weeks before the
hearing. An article about the plan will be included in the
city's fall newsletter. The council will be invited to attend
• the October 28 planning commission meeting to discuss the plan
with the commission.
CITIZEN'S COMMITTEE FOR THE FALCON HEIGHTS/ROSEVILLE STUDY.
A panel made up of five Falcon Heights citizens and five
Roseville citizens will review the financial report on sharing of
services between the two cities. Each commission has been asked
to choose a representative for a selection committee to review
applications and recommend candidates to the council for this
panel. Carolyn Nestingen volunteered to represent the planning
commission on the selection committee. Ed Finegan will serve if
she is unable to do so.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
