Planning & Zoning Board October 12, 2022 Page 6 DRAFT MINUTES balance the best it can while keeping in mind the concerns of the residents. The City is not driving the development but we are trying to manage it in areas of traffic and water to name a couple. Mr. Root asked Mr. Grochala if someone disagrees with the vote tonight what their next recourse would be. Mr. Grochala stated the ordinance is not approved until the City Council approves it. They can send questions to the City Council or attend the reading of the ordinance.  Jeff Joyer – 8174 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 VIA EMAIL Mr. Joyer wanted more consideration given to the 50’ setbacks. He stated several of the existing structures on his property would not meet this requirement. He wanted to know if existing structures and roadways would be grandfathered in. He also wanted to know if this section was needed. Ms. Larsen stated she responded via email. She said tonight is about the zoning map and that would be a text amendment conversation. Any building that is there now would be legal and non-conforming and can remain in place. His 18 acre property is designated medium density in the proposed 2030 Plan. It is proposed FUD in the 2040 plan. He wanted to know if this preclude medium density now or leave the option to be designated high density in the future. He would like to see zoning remain the same as previously planned. Ms. Larsen clarified zoning concerns via email.  Scott & Carol Featherstone – 631 Andall Street, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 VIA EMAIL How can the P & Z board change zones? Vicky Lane development was originally zoned single family residential and now it is being zoned to medium density residential. If a developer comes in and requests it does the P & Z board change it? The concern is having low density homes adjacent to their property. They feel low density should be defined as 1 to 2 homes per acre and that the developers will put the most they can on the land to make more money. Ms. Larsen understands the confusion with the comp plan, land use and density vs what the property is zoned. She spoke to Mrs. Featherstone on the telephone and answered her zoning questions. Questioned if a designation of R or R-X cover the possibility of a developer building homes with a minimum density of one house per acre or one house per 3 acres? The Rural zoning is not tied to the density.
