PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
APRIL 22, 1991
7:30 p.m.
ALSO PRESENT: ABSENT:
Pau Ciernia Len Boche
Susan Hoyt, ICA/Planner.
Meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Lee Barry in the
absence of Chairman Len Boche.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
February 25 minutes approved as written.
PUBLIC HEARING
Vice Chair Barry moved to cancel the public hearing because the
person requesting the conditional use permit to operate an
amusement establishment in Bullseye Plaza was not present at the
• meeting, and because the necessary information accompanying the
application was not complete. The motion was approved
unanimously.
REPORT ON PROPOSED CONDITIONS TO GOVERN THE OPERATION OF
AMUSEMENT EST BL SHMENTS IN B-2 ZONES
Planner Hoyt reported on the reasonableness of putting proposed
conditions to govern the operation of amusement establishments
into a license rather than a conditional use permit. She said
that both Planner Malloy and Attorney Gedde recommended these
conditions be in the zoning code as a conditional use permit.
Without a conditional use requirement, these establishments
would be permitted uses, and not require Planning Commission
review and Council approval. Hoyt said both Malloy and Gedde
concurred that a condition that terminates the conditional use
permit with a change in business ownership is appropriate and
legal in a conditional use permit governing amusement
establishments where ownership and management are extremely
important. After a brief discussion and review of the proposed
language revisions to the zoning code, the Commission scheduled
a public hearing on the proposed zoning code for May 20, 1991.
UPDATE ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Fred Hoisington, Planning Consultant, is in the process of
preparing a draft of the comprehensive plan. He expects to
present some material at the May 22 Planning Commission meeting.

SUMMARY OF CITY'S FIVE YEAR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Planner Hoyt briefly summarized the five year street improvement
program. She explained there are three ways to obtain financing
for the street work: 1) assess the property owner, 2) a general
tax, and 3) utility aid and state aid. Reconstruction is
scheduled to start in June, 1991 for the 1991 street
improvements.
REPORT ON PROPOSED STUDY TO CONSOLIDATE SOME SERVICES IN RAMSEY
COUNTY
The Commission discussed the state proposals to consolidate
services in Ramsey County. The original proposal was directed
at the consolidation of the police/sheriff services. Duncan
commented that many north suburban cities are now looking at
ways to consolidate services. The Falcon Heights/Roseville
consolidation study is progressing.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: A discussion of the driveway requirements in
e zoning co e
SUBMITTED BY: Terry Maurer, City Engineer
Tim Malloy, Consulting Planner
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, Interim City Administrator
EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION:
The City's zoning code is vague when it comes to driveway
requirements in residential zones. Due to the upcoming street
improvement projects, the city engineer anticipates a number of
driveway re-design requests and has asked that the Planning
Commission and Council clarify the driveway standards in the
zoning code. The City's consulting planner, Tim Malloy, was
asked to review the zoning code for off-street parking and
driveway requirements.
A synthesis of these requirements and comments will be presented
at the meeting to expedite the discussion.
ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Recommend course of action to the City Council
2. Schedule public hearing on proposed code changes, if
necessary
