Planning&Zoning Board <br /> June 9,2021 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Mr. Evenson asked Ms. Larsen to reiterate the timeline of the property being <br /> purchased and the Commercial Stables Ordinance change. <br /> Ms. Larsen stated that Mr. Stowe moved in around April or May 2018 and in July <br /> 2018 the City amended and adopted the Commercial Stables Ordinance which <br /> allowed for the doubling of the number of animal units. <br /> Mr. Laden stated he was struggling with doubling the number of animal units. He <br /> asked Ms. Larsen if this variance would be applied to the property. <br /> Ms. Larsen stated that the variance would go with the property. <br /> Mr. Laden stated that he was concerned about this because although Mr. Stowe is a <br /> responsible owner what happens when he sells his property. He also stated that he <br /> has concerns regarding approving a variance where the findings of fact were written <br /> by the applicant. <br /> Mr. Root commented that putting a deadline on resolution with the RCWD or the <br /> MPCA is problematic because there is no control over these outside entities but <br /> suggested it be brought back for review until these issues are resolved. <br /> Mr. Laden wanted to know if the applicant needed to be in compliance with the <br /> RCWD within 6 months or if the issue needs to be fully closed with the RCWD <br /> within 6 months. V <br /> Ms. Larsen stated that currently the applicant needs to be in compliance within 6 <br /> months. She stated that this language can be changed. <br /> Mr. Laden suggested that there be a deadline after there is resolution with these <br /> entities. <br /> Ms. Larsen suggested that City speak with their attorney and Mr. Stowe's attorney to <br /> come up with some language that both can agree on concerning a timeline. <br /> Mr. Reinert made a MOTION to recommend approval of the conditional use permit <br /> for commercial stable operations at 426 Pine Street.
