• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 10, 2007 <br />Page 3 <br />in order for a fire truck to turn around, which is not necessarily a good long term solution <br />for the developer because it could prevent units from being constructed. He added that <br />the culdesac could be removed in the future and then additional lots could be created. <br />Staff is trying hard to avoid creating one access to neighborhoods. <br />Mr. Smyser clarified that the roads proposed on the Brunn property were hypothetical, <br />and that it is the nature of the property, wetlands, etc. that creates the situation of what is <br />possible on that property. <br />Mr. Rafferty asked for confirmation that the board is not guaranteeing that property <br />owners will be allowed variances to ordinance requirements in the future. Mr. Nelson <br />commented that the proposal submitted by the Brunn Brothers would require setback <br />variances in order to develop. Mr. Nelson stated that he thinks the master plan could <br />adversely affect the Brunn property. <br />Mr. Tralle reminded board members that the focus of the Master Plan is not to address <br />individual properties and development. <br />Mr. Laden commented that this plan will not create any undevelopable property. Instead <br />it allows for development on all property. Mr. Hyden concurred. <br />Mr. Laden made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendment for the 49/J Master Plan as presented with the corrections made. Motion <br />was supported by Mr. Hyden. <br />Mr. Nelson stated that he would like to see Kent St. the access point, otherwise he would <br />be in favor of the plan. <br />Mr. Rafferty appreciated the efforts of staff and board members and for the special work <br />session. <br />Mr. Pogalz concurred. Mr. Pogalz also appreciated the effort of the citizens that were in <br />attendance. He reminded them that the P &Z Board makes recommendations to the City <br />Council, but ultimately the City council will make the final decision. He thanked the <br />city's consultants and the City of Shoreview. <br />Mr. Laden expressed appreciation to staff, consultants, counties, cities, property owners, <br />businesses, and residents for their involvement. He stated the plan is thorough and thinks <br />it is a good plan. He also thanked everyone for their patience. He believes the plan is <br />best for the city. He encouraged staff to consider the next area that could use a master <br />plan. <br />Motion carried 4 -1 (Mr. Nelson voting nay.) <br />Staff noted that this item would go to the first Council Work Session in February and to <br />the February 12 City Council Meeting. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
