Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 1610 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454 612-332-0421 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council City of Lino Lakes FROM: William Short DATE: May 24, 1983 SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE REVISIONS On Friday, May 20th, I discussed the proposed Zoning Ordinance Update with Bill Hawkins, the City Attorney. This memorandum summarizes the issues that we discussed and our recommendations as to refinements to the ordinance. Most of the suggested revisions are simply clarifications and refinements. 1. Section 1005.4 Subdivision 19 (page 26). We refer to Mobile Homes in this general regulation. We need to differentiate between this Mobile Home reference and manufactured housing in general. Therefore, we need a definition from Mobile Homes which differs from manufactured housing. The following definition is proposed for Mobile Homes. Mobile Homes. - A single-family detached dwelling unit or other structure designed for year around occupancy constructed at a factory or assembly plant and drawn to the sight on a permanently attached undercarriage and wheels. Mobile homes should not include all types of manufactured homes as defined herein. 2. Section 1005.04 Subdivision 34. Meets and Bounds Conveyences—Building Permits (page 33). This general regulation requires that individuals intending to build on lands conveyed by meets and bounds must meet certain submission and review requirements and development standards. This provision is intended primarily to protect the city from meets and bounds subdivisions of many lots. However, the city has experienced a number of applications for building permits for single lot splits of ten acres in the rural area. The provisions of this subdivision 34 are not intended to apply to this situation. Therefore, I recommend the following be added to the end of this subdivision on page 34. (3) The city may waive the above requirements for lot splits of ten acres or more which are not part of a larger planned subdivision and providing that the city's parkland dedication requirement is satisfied and that street, utility and drainage easements or rights -of -way are provided as necessary.
