• • • Planning & Zoning Board December 10, 1997 Page 15 Chair Schaps asked for Mr. Brixius' reaction to the proposed tower zone. Mr. Brixius feels that the draft Ordinance addresses that issue through restriction of where antennas and towers can be located. In any event, as this issue is not of urgent nature, additional investigation is appropriate. Mr. Dunn requested an executive summary with the next draft Ordinance for ease in reviewing concepts suggested by proposed legislation. Mr. Brixius recommended that this matter be tabled until the January Planning & Zoning Board meeting. Mr. Johnson suggested including language in the next draft Ordinance regarding a tower zone, including specifications where towers could be located. Mr. Brixius also suggested that responsibility for service should be shared by neighboring communities. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to continue the public hearing regarding the telecommunications ordinance until the January, 1998 meeting, and was supported by Ms. Dahl. Motion carried 7 -0. Mayor Landers was invited to the podium where he expressed his appreciation for the quality effort of the Planning & Zoning Board over his time in office as Mayor of Lino Lakes. He stated that competent and thorough work on the part of the Board made his job much easier. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Diana Turner Proposal Ms. Wyland introduced Diana Turner, stating that Diana comes before the Board with an exciting and innovative idea, which meets no ordinance requirements. Therefore, Ms. Wyland suggested that Ms. Turner come before the Board to explain her idea and elicit suggestions. Diana Turner, 7404 Sunset Avenue, approached the Board, distributed a packet of information to Board members. She explained that she has been developing her idea for approximately two years. It is her desire to move a barn onto her property, storing the barn on her property until such time as she can reconstruct the barn as an addition to her existing barn, and ultimately turning that structure into a Bed - and - Breakfast. Ms. Turner would then like to subdivide her property, moving her residence to the portion on Leonard Avenue, and selling the remaining two - thirds of her property to a non - profit entity which would operate the Bed - and - Breakfast.
