REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
,A,UGUST 4, 1980
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Larsen at 7:30 p.m. on August 4, 1980.
Present, in addition to the Chairman, were Harold Nilsen, Mike Heffron, Erma Olson,.
Jerry Wallin, Al Stefanson, Bob Blomberg, Jim Bourquin and Elving Anderson. Council-
member and Planning Commission Liaison Representative was also present.
Sandy reported that the City of Roseville has approved our Comprehensive Plan. There
have been no adverse comments received to date from other municipalities and govern-
mental units reviewing the plan.
The request bf Mr. and Mrs. Barron for a special use swimming pool permit has been
granted by the Council. Their neighbor, John Welsch, is also requesting a special
use permit for the same reason. Tt was the concensus of the Planning Commission,
without a formal motion, that the Commission had no objection if the Council granted
such a permit to Mr. and Mrs. Welsch upon terms and conditions acceptable to the
Council.
Sandy Larson reported that Carl Dale will be present for the September Planning
Commission Meeting which will be the Monday after Labor Day.
The matter of the variance request by Mrs. LeTourneau, 1816 Arona, was taken up
by the Commission. Their request was prompted by a neighbor's complaint that they
were in violation of the zoning ordinance in that they were parking an automotive
vehicle on a portion of their lot which was not properly paved with a suitable
material under the ordinance. Jerry Wallin was the only Commission member who had
advance notice of the variance request and,. accordingly, had an opportunity to view
• the premises. Upon motion by Mike Heffron, seconded by Al Stefanson, there was a
unanimous vote to table further discussion on the request until the rest of the
Commission members had an opportunity to view the premises. Although the further
handling of the matter was tabled until the next meeting, discussion about the
propriety of the LeTourneau request, as it related to front yard parking, continued.
Jerry Wallin was of the opinion that the zoning ordinance, as it is currently worded,
prohibits the type of parking sought by Mrs. LeTourneau even if the parking were
accomplished on a properly paved area. .The area proposed is within the area defined
as "required front yard", an area in which year round parking is not permitted.
Although no formal vote was taken on the matter, it appeared as though a majority
of the Commission was in favor of enforcing the ordinance as written so as to
prohibit front yard parking.
Pursuant to motion duly made and seconded and unanimously carried the meeting was
adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
rry llin, ecretary
