Page 5 Planning and Zoning August 15, 1979 be granted on an annual renewable basis from the date of issuance. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. The attorney's opinion should be gotten on this. It will be on the Council agenda for August 27. Next on the agenda was a plat for East Birch Addition, submitted by Mr. Nadeau. Updated copies (8-13-79) were available. Mr. Gourley read a letter from the County Highway Department, dated July 18, which in addition to the previous request asked that lot 11, block 4, and lot 13, block 3, have no access by driveway to County Rd. 54. This would have to be a covenant on the deed and it would be up to the Council if they wanted it indicated on the plat and on the deed. Mr. Nadeau felt buyers would not want to put a driveway up to County Rd. 54 there because it was much higher than the lots. In reference to the park dedication, Mr. Nadeau felt the lots were large enough that people wouldn't want a park, and proposed cash in lieu of land. Lots 1, 2 and 3 now showed a 40 -foot setback as recommended. Mr. Nadeau again raised the question of the 100 -foot setback from the center of the road called for in Ordinance No. 56, which was not enforced. Pertinant buildings and structures within 100 feet of the site, watercourses and marshes were all now indicated on the plat. Mr. Nadeau indicated that easements or drainage weren": indicated but felt it was premature to do so before the City engineer went over it. All power line easements were shown (Anoka Electric). The section on drainage from the engineer's letter was read by Mr. Gourley. It was Mr. Nadeau's understanding that the City engineer would address drainage and confirm whether the ponds were adequate. Section 14 of the planner's letter asked for easements of 12 feet centered on the rear lot lines where necessary, but it was felt this was not necessary yet and was more of a notation for the future. Lots 7, 8 and 9, block 3, were to take care of water storage, but Mr. Nadeau felt they were also going to be buildable lots because they would be above the high water table. There was further discussion, and Mr. Nadeau felt that the area would be better off as part of a lot so the owner would be taking care of it rather than the City maintaining the property. The proposed development was adjacent to the Centerville city limits; a letter and copy of the plat had been sent to them but there had been no response. Mr. Gourley felt the engineer should address the drainage easements and utility easements, but otherwise everything seemed to have been complied with. Mr. Nadeau indicated that some trees along an existing ditch would be taken out. There was some question about the zoning classification indicated on the plan, which was FR, farming -residential. tIt was felt the zoning should be agricultural, which is concurrent with an R-1 use.- Mr. Reinert moved to submit Mr. Nadeau's plat to the Council for approval subject to the correction of the terms expressed by the engineer, and also to have it corrected in terms of the proper zoning for a plat of this type; also the concerns of the planner being referred to the engineer for proper correction. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. Mr. Gourley moved that the Council also be recommended to set a public hearing on Mr. Nadeau's plat. Mr. Heath seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. This will be on the Council agenda for August 27. Next on the agenda was a sketch plan for Lino Industrial Park. A representative, Mr. Gagteod, was present. The p1lnnej's and engineer's letters were read, and the Clerk is requested to provide Mr. i;& with copies of these. The developer indicated that the buildings would be one, and possibly two stories, and it would be small businesses to start with, such as body shops and cabinet shops. Mr. Gourley noted a rezone would be required, and the developer would have to make a decision as to whether they wanted a light industrial or heavy industrial classification. The developer felt there weren't the facilities for heavy industry at this time, but if sewer service came in as anticipated, they would like to change the zoning at that time, or make it subject to when the sewer did come in. Commercial zoning uses were read by Mr. Gourley and discussed. In reference to the recommendation for a larger lot size and additional streets, the developer didn't feel these were necessary. The land was sold
