• • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD October 12, 1994 Ms. Whitney indicated the property in question is approximately two lots north of a possible realignment of Apollo Drive (Lilac) at Lake Drive. Mr. Brixius indicated the premise of the Non - Conforming Use Regulations is to allow use to continue after it becomes Non - Conforming. Mr. Brixius indicated the issue of accommodating the single family homes is faced on a daily basis and recommended that perhaps amending the ordinance could be considered. Ms. Nordine indicated changing the ordinance would take longer than providing a variance. Mr. Brixius indicated a variance would set precedence on the issue, but could be covered in the new ordinance. Ed Schones inquired as to what is allowed in R -1 District, for accessory buildings. Ms. Wyland indicated 1,000 square feet is the limit to the size of the building, no matter the size of the home. After discussion, it was concurred if the variance would come before this Board it would be denied. Ed Schones made a MOTION to direct City Staff to review Ordinances relating to Non - conforming Uses to correct this problem and future problems, and was supported by John Landers. All voted aye. Motion carried. B. Behm's Century Farm /Lino Air Park - Discussion. Mr. Brixius briefly review the issue for Board members. He indicated Gary Uhde has discussed the acquisition of this portion of Lino Air Park and is looking at the potential re- subdivision in conjunction with Behm's Century Farms. A P.D.O. may be necessary to allow hanger facilities for those sites on the air park. Ms. Nordine inquired as to the size of the hangers. Mr. Brixius indicated approximately 40' x 40' or larger. Discussion was held relating to the Air Park and the proposed P.D.O. Mr. Brixius indicated he would provide a site plan for review at the November meeting. C. Accessory Building Ordinance. Ms. Wyland presented a brief report regarding the request for Ordinance review. Ms. Wyland indicated following a denial of a variance request by Mr. Neil Banta, the City Council directed staff to review the accessory building section of the Zoning Ordinance, in particular Section 4, Subd. 7 (9) (G) which deals with accessory building specifications for lots 32,671 acres to less than 1.25 acres in size. 9
