Planning & Zoning Board July 13, 2022 Page 3 APPROVED MINUTES Ms. Larsen said that for a community center style clubhouse that fifteen stalls (15) would be the minimum requirement. Mr. Laden asked if on-street parking is permitted on Watermark Way. Ms. Larsen said that on-street parking is permitted on Watermark Way. Mr. Root asked what is compelling the applicant to provide a parking area for the public park and proper landscape buffer on the lot line that is adjacent to a single- family home. Ms. Larsen further stated that all comments from Staff must be addressed prior to building permits being released. Chair Tralle asked if, “buffer” is the new word for, “berm”. Ms. Larson said no, not necessarily. She further stated that for screening purposes, a buffer could be a berm, a six (6) foot fence, a variety of tree species, or a combination thereof. Mr. Root made a MOTION to recommend approval of Watermark 5th Addition PUD Final Plan/Final Plat subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Motion was supported by Mr. Vojtech. Motion carried 5 – 0. Chair Tralle abstained. C. 6966 and 6970 Lake Drive Lot Combination Variance Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. The property owners of 6966 & 6970 Lake Drive, Robert and Carol Stanek, submitted a Land Use Application for a variance from State and City zoning and shoreland requirements to combine the two contiguous (2) nonconforming lots. Staff recommended that the 6966 and 6970 Lake Drive Lot Combination Variance not be granted. Board Comments The board discussed why the subject lots needed to be combined back in 2013, when the Staneks purchased them, because the Lots were zoned (R-1). Ms. Larsen stated that the subject lots would have still been considered nonconforming because they were not served by sanitary sewer. Mr. Grochala said that if two adjacent parcels were in separate ownership, then they could be built on if they met the minimum requirements for nonconforming use.
