PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 2 March 10, 1993 Mr. Jeffrey Shopek of Loucks & Assoicates was present representing Mr. Vaughan, who was also in attendance. He indicated that the School District had approved the request but indicated that they would favor an even land trade - 11 acres for 11 acres. In regard to future plans for the school district property, Mr. Shopek stated that he would be addressing that item at time of preliminary plat review. The minor subdivision is needed at this time for financing purposes - the bank was not interested in having a third party (the school district) involved in the preliminary platting process. After some discussion Mr. Schones made a MOTION and was supported by Mr. Robinson to approve the minor subdivision as recommended by the Planning Consultant with no insinuation that this is an endorsement of the revised concept or approval of a preliminary plat. All Voted aye. Motion carried. B. PIIBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REPEALING PIIBLIC AND SEMI-PIIBLIC USES FROM VARIOUS ZONING DISTRICTS WITHIN THE CITY. Mr. Brixius explained that this proposed amendment was prompted by a desire to introduce additional clarity pertaining to the regulations governing public and proviate parks. This proposed ordinance defines both public and private parks in Section 1. Section 2-12 repeals various public and semi-public ( schools, parks, etc. ) uses from the various zoning districts and provides for them in the PSP Zoning District. Section 13 outlines permitted uses in the PSP District and provides nursery schools and elementary schools as conditional uses. Chairman Schaps opened the Public Hearing for this item 6:55 P.M. Mr. Ken Tice of Black Duck Drive asked if the new definition related to future parks and past parks. Mr. Brixius explained that existing and future parks would have to be zoned or rezoned PSP to conform to the requirements of the new ordinance. Mr. Schones asked what was the definition of Semi-Public. Mr. Brixius explained that Semi-public references areas such as utilities and that the only difference between public and private parks was their ownership and/or control. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:00 P.M. Kathy Nordine asked if we did, in fact, have a private park in the City. Mr. Brixius explained that private parks could only be established through the PDO process.
