MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 10, 2008 ZONING CODE AMENDMENT - I -1 DISTRICT Lorraine Palmer, Oakmont Condominiums, indicated that there was an error with the east property line between St. Jude Medical and the Oakmont Condominiums. Palmer provided some history about the vacation of Jackson Street that occurred in the 1980's and indicated that 30 feet of the street was to accrue to the Oakmont Condominium property. Palmer stated that the survey submitted by St. Jude Medical was in error. The City Planner reviewed the property being platted, and noted that the Jackson Street right -of -way shown at the northeast corner of the plat is actually an additional 30 feet of right -of -way that St. Jude is dedicating as a part of this plat. The result is Jackson Street at the northeast corner of this plat will now have a 60 -foot right -of -way. He explained where Jackson Street had existed to the south prior to the vacation occurring. He noted that the 30 feet of vacated right -of -way was properly transferred to the Oakmont Condominium property. Palmer expressed concern with the impact on landscaping adjacent to the Oakmont Condominiums that occurred at the time the vacation occurred. Knudsen noted that St. Jude Medical did submit a landscape plan as part of their PUD approvals. The City Planner indicated that it was St. Jude's intent to leave most of this area natural. The Planner also suggested that the City Engineer review the survey submitted to verify that it is correct. There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matter. Duray recommended approval of the St. Jude Medical Corporate Campus Final Plat subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer and recommending that the City Engineer review the survey to ensure its accuracy. Motion seconded by Pechmann. Motion carried 6 — 0. The City Planner reported that the City has been working on updating its entire Zoning and Subdivision Codes. As part of the Code reviews, a great deal of attention has been given to the Light- Industrial (I -1) District, particularly with regards to outdoor storage. The Planner noted that the City Council and the Planning Commission held several workshop meetings, some of which included Ryan Industrial Park property owners, in its review of I -1 Zoning Standards. The Planner noted that the result of this review is the proposed ordinance draft being considered this evening. He noted that one additional change was added to the ordinance draft since the last workshop meeting. At that last meeting there was discussion relative to limiting the number of major auto repair licenses. Concern was expressed -2-
