MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 26, 1992 <br />Staff noted that the request was for 1992 only, and <br />that the owners of Tierney's Liquors have indicated <br />that they are interested only in action affecting 1992. <br />Council felt that rather than look at this request on a <br />yearly basis, it would amend the ordinance to allow <br />off-sale liquor stores to be open on the Fourth of <br />July. It is the right of the liquor stores not to open <br />on that day if that is what they choose. <br />Mr. Collova introduced the following ordinance and <br />moved its adoption: <br />ORDINANCE NO. 355 - AMENDING THE LIQUOR ORDINANCE OF <br />THE CITY OF LITTLE CANADA TO ALLOW OFF-SALE LIQUOR <br />STORES TO OPEN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY IN ACCORDANCE WITH <br />STATE LAW <br />The foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by Scalze. <br />Ayes (4) Collova, Scalze, LaValle, Blesener. <br />Nays (O). <br />Ordinance declared adopted. <br />COMP PLAN Scalze opened the public hearing to consider an <br />AMENDMENT amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to show <br />ROUND LAKE the south side of the Little Canada Road area along <br />AREA Round Lake as open space. Scalze noted that in <br />November, 1991 the Planning Commission recommended <br />approval of this amendment. <br />The City Planner reported on the history that has led <br />to the Planning Commission's recommendation for this <br />amendment. Discussion initiated as part of the <br />application for conditional use permit and variance for <br />34 Little Canada Road. During that discussion, the <br />Planning Commission became concerned about future land <br />use of the parcels along the north side of Round Lake. <br />The problem arises in that most of the lots in that <br />area are significantly substandard under both the <br />City's ordinances and the 5horeland Ordinance <br />requirements. Shoreland Ordinance requires a minimum <br />lot size of 15,000 square feet, and few of the lots <br />meet this requirement. <br />The Planner reported that the Planning Commission did a <br />land use study of the area and discussed the options. <br />These included the area continuing as low density <br />sinqle family residential, future clustered mid-density <br />housing for the area, or designation of the area as <br />future open space. Under the option of low density <br />housing, there was the potential to work with the DNR <br />on setback requirements as long as density requirements <br />Page 11 <br />
