Planning & Zoning Board November 14, 2018 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES V. ACTION ITEMS A. Public Hearing: West Shadow Lake Drive Rezoning Katie Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Peacock asked how many parcels can be subdivided. Ms. Larsen stated 8-10 parcels can be subdivided. No formal applications have been submitted. Mr. Laden asked if any nonconforming lots will be created with the rezoning. The rezoning will bring parcels closer to conformance. Mr. Stimpson asked for clarification regarding R-1 and R-1X. Ms. Larsen explained that the Shoreland Management District requires R-1 and R-1X lots to be a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and 90 feet wide. Chair Tralle asked about utilities and where they will be stubbed. Staff clarified where utilities will start and stop. Chair Tralle opened the public hearing at 6:45 P.M. Jerry Poehling, 6790 West Shadow Lake Drive, asked how it was determined to rezone to R1-X. Chris Bretoi, 6779 West Shadow Lake Drive, asked what implications the rezone will have on taxes. Brian Hansen, 6710 West Shadow Lake Drive, has chickens and is wondering what happens after the properties are rezoned. Board responses: R-1 and R-1X are single family residential districts. Conversations with Council resulted in pursuing R-1X standard. R-1X is more consistent with actual lots. The shoreland overlay district is in place because the lots are within 1,000 feet. Lots that abut the lake are riparian lots and have to meet a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. Council has been informed that there may be variances for the lots that will fall under the 90 foot wide standard. Rezoning will not affect property taxes. Chickens will be considered legal non-conforming. Mr. Laden made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing. Motion was supported by Mr. Ruhland. Motion carried 6-0.
