• PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />JUNE 12, 1996 <br />• <br />property but noted that only one person came to the public hearing. General Business zoning <br />has been retained on the corner, and he agrees with the idea of an equitable land exchange. <br />In light of the future residential development to the north, this project is a consistent use of <br />the property in all respects, and he would favor it. <br />Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to close the public hearing. Ms. Dahl seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried 6 -0. <br />Chair Schaps stated that the specific findings of the Board to justify down - zoning this <br />property from General Business to R -1X are as follows: <br />1. The property is unique in itself in its proximity to Rice Lake and an existing Surfside <br />Seaplane Base. <br />2. This proposal would compliment existing business and surrounding new future <br />residential construction. <br />3. There is general community approval which would be consistent and necessary for a <br />Comprehensive Plan amendment. <br />Mr. Johnson added a further finding that there is a good possibility that the City may be able <br />to claim land for General Business use in the area. <br />Chair Schaps added a 13th condition to approval of the preliminary plat, which is that the City <br />focus on obtaining land for limited business or other business related zoning in exchange for <br />the land rezoned to R -1X in this project. <br />Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to recommend approval of an amendment to the <br />Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation of this property to R -1X based on the <br />following findings: <br />1. The property is unique in itself in its proximity to Rice Lake and an existing Surfside <br />Seaplane Base. <br />2. This proposal would compliment existing business and surrounding new future <br />residential construction. <br />3. There is general community approval that which would be consistent and necessary <br />for a Comprehensive Plan amendment. <br />4. There is a good possibility that the City may be able to claim land for General <br />Business use in the area. <br />Mr. Dunn seconded the motion. Motion carried 6 -0. <br />18 <br />
