PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
JUNE 1, 1981
The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 7:00 p.m. Present were
Al Stefanson, Bob Blomberg, Erma Olson, Harold Nilsen and Jerry Wallin. Also
present was Council Liaison Sandy Larson.
The first item of business was an informal request for information regarding
the purchase of the property at 1700 N. Fry St. for use as a Community Resi-
dential Facility for the Retarded. No specific questions were asked, there-
fore the Commission decided to take no action-until a definitive proposal
was. submitted. As a minimum, however, the proposal would appear to require
a re-zoning of the property.
Next Erma Olson relayed the inquiry of Oksana Yonan, 1892 N. Albert, concern-
ing her storage of a sailboat in her front yard. The Commission agreed that
the boat cannot-stay and must be moved. The original grace period given her
by the City expired May 31, 1981.
Sandy Larson reported the University of Minnesota is considering building a
five story appartment/condominium near the intersection of Larpenteur and
Coffman for retired University peogle. The information, at this point, is
sketchy at best.. Sandy also reported that the Council approved the variance
request of Mr. Ready to build a two car garage near the rear property line
and not less than five feet from the side boundary.
The last item of business was the continuation of work on the Zoning Ordi-
nance. The Off Street Parking and Loading section for R3-R4 was tenatively
approved. Subject to further discussion with Carl Dale, it was generally
agreed that the City did not need several categories of multiple family
zones (ie: an R3, R4, and, perhaps, an R5).
It was agreed the next meeting will be held on Monday, July 13 at 7:00 p.m.
For that meeting Stefanson requrested the mini groups to start looking into
the business sections of existing 64 and Carl Dale's draft.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
