Planning & Zoning Board <br />October 14, 2020 <br />Page 4 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />depicted. He stated he was in favor of maximizing the number of animal units on <br />Mr. Stowe’s property. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen explained the acreage was determined by utilizing Anoka County’s GIS <br />website. She clarified the City did not require Mr. Stowe to have a survey <br />completed nor a wetland delineation. If the City would have made such <br />requirements, the board would have definitive figures to review regarding acreage. <br />She said the City ordinance does not address gross or net acreage; thus, the City <br />always utilizes the gross amount. In this circumstance, the City determined Mr. <br />Stowe owns approximately 25 acres in total for his three (3) parcels. Ms. Larsen <br />explained Mr. Stowe can have 12.5 animal units now. However, with a conditional <br />use permit for commercial stables, Mr. Stowe could have a riding club and 12.5 <br />animals units without a waste management plan. Furthermore, with a conditional <br />use permit for commercial stables, Mr. Stowe could have 25 animal units if he is in <br />compliance with the MPCA floodplain rules and if he completes a waste <br />management plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert asked if Mr. Stowe can prove he can handle the management of more <br />manure, could he be allowed to have more horses. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen explained the current commercial ordinance only allows for the doubling <br />of animal units with a manure management plan. For Mr. Stowe, he would only be <br />allowed 25 animal units at max. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit <br />for Commercial Stables to allow for a maximum of 25 animal units with a MPCA <br />approved facility management and waste handling plan. Motion was supported by <br />Mr. Root. Motion carried 6 - 0. Chair Tralle abstained. <br /> <br />B. PUBLIC HEARING: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment – Roofing Materials <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. <br /> <br />At the September 9, 2020 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, the Board directed <br />staff to draft a zoning ordinance text amendment regarding metals roofs. <br /> <br />Staff requested the board’s input regarding the proposed zoning ordinance text <br />amendment regarding metal roofs. <br /> <br />Board Comments <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson asked Ms. Larsen if the City specifies what type of shingles residents <br />can use on single family homes. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen said the City does not specify the type of shingle. <br />
