COUNCIL MINUTES July 27, 2009 <br /> APPROVED <br /> '81 day waiting period following the public hearing applies to the charter governed area only. He <br /> 82 intends to continue discussions with property owners during the waiting period as well as <br /> 183 continue negotiations with Anoka County(including discussion about assessment rates). There <br /> 184 will be other agreements involved with the project such as for signals. It is certain that more <br /> 185 answers about the project, including funding,will evolve as things move forward. <br /> 186 <br /> 187 A council member stated that the council has heard questions about the fairness in the amount of <br /> 188 assessment and they are valid. It is anticipated that staff will continue evaluating the proposed <br /> 189 assessments and will work with those who would be impacted by them. The question of the <br /> 190 rate of interest that would be charged on deferred assessments is important and the city must do <br /> 191 what it can to make that consideration clear. Another concern is that the council is being asked <br /> 192 to be a part of this project before many of the elements are clear. Staff again outlined the <br /> 193 process involving a county road project. It was clarified that a key funding element of the <br /> 194 project, namely stimulus money, will not be available after November 15 of this year. <br /> 195 <br /> 196 6C. Consideration of Resolution No. 09-48,Approving 2009/2010 Foxborough <br /> 197 Management Plan <br /> 198 <br /> 199 Environmental Coordinator Asleson reported on the proposed 2009/2010 schedule of work <br /> 200 related to the Foxborough development conservation area. A plan has been put forward by the <br /> 201 ecologist hired by the Foxborough Association and the city's Environmental Board has <br /> 202 approved the plans. <br /> '03 <br /> ■..204 Council Member Stoltz moved to approve Resolution No. 09-48 as presented. Council Member <br /> 205 Gallup seconded the motion. Motion carried. <br /> 206 <br /> 207 6D. First reading of Ordinance No. 04-09,Amending Zoning Ordinance to Allow <br /> 208 Public, Educational, and Religious Buildings as Conditional Uses in General <br /> 209 Business and Limited Business Zoning Districts, and Amending City Code so that <br /> 210 Separation Distance for Liquor License shall not apply if School or Church is in <br /> 211 Limited Business or General Business Zoning District <br /> 212 <br /> 213 City Planner Smyser reported that the item before the council is first reading of an ordinance <br /> 214 amending the zoning code to allow public, educational and religious buildings as conditional <br /> 215 uses in general business and limited business zoning districts in the city, and amending the <br /> 216 liquor code so that separation distance for liquor licenses shall not apply for a school or church <br /> 217 in said zoning districts. The city has received an application from a church wishing to acquire <br /> 218 the former VFW site (in a business district). Staff has reviewed uses allowed in business <br /> 219 districts. In consideration that similar uses should be allowed within established zoning <br /> 220 districts, Mr. Smyser pointed out similarities between the private lodge/club use of the VFW <br /> 221 (that use is currently allowed in business district as a conditional use) and the possible church <br /> 222 use (that use is not currently allowed in business district). Mr. Smyser then explained a federal <br /> 223 law prohibiting discrimination against churches (for land use) and pointed out that there have <br /> 224 been court cases that have found appropriate church uses similar to lodge/club use. He also <br /> 225 pointed out the current standards/conditions that apply to all conditional uses in the city as well <br /> 5 <br />
