MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />SEPTEMBER 11, 2003 <br />Torkelson indicated that he was unaware of the 50-foot setback <br />requirement, and he had anticipated that the City's 30-foot rear yard <br />setback would apply. <br />Rustad showed an aerial photograph of the area. He noted that the aerial <br />is outdated, but pointed out the location of the proposed home in <br />conjunction to the commercial development on the west side of Park <br />Street. <br />Duray felt asingle-family home on the west side of Park Street did not fit <br />the area. Duray suggested that maybe a duplex would work, but he did not <br />support single-family. Duray expressed concern, however, that rezoning <br />to either R-I or R-2 would be spot zoning. <br />Keis pointed out that the property is currently zoned B-3 and he felt there <br />should be a compelling reason to rezone the property. Keis concern was <br />that the property may be too small to do anything with on its own. <br />Knudsen asked the impact of a 50-foot rear yard setback. The City <br />Planner replied that the Watershed has its own setback policies based on <br />categories of wetlands. Applying a 50-foot rear yard setback would make <br />this property almost useless. The Planner pointed out, however, that the <br />Watershed did flex from its setback policies for the Edgewater Townofl'ice <br />development, and further noted that the 50-foot setback is an average <br />setback. <br />Barraclough agreed with Duray that rezoning to R-1 or R-2 would be spot <br />zoning. He suggested that rezoning both this property and the Rustad <br />property along Park Street to R-2 would resolve that concern, keeping B-3 <br />zoning on the back portion of the Rustad property. <br />Keis pointed out that under R-2 zoning, either single-family or duplexes <br />would be allowed. Keis was concerned about the development of a single- <br />family home on the site, as well as squeezing a duplex into the limited <br />buildable area. Keis stated that his position at this point is that the <br />property should remain B-3. <br />Keis recommended denial of the rezoning of Lots 1 through 4, Block 7, <br />North Heights on Park Street from General Business (B-3) to either <br />Single-Family Residential (R-1) or Medium-Density Residential (R-2) <br />based on tonight's discussion. <br />Motion seconded by Roycraft. <br />Motion carried 6 - 1. Knudsen voted against. <br />-4- <br />
