• • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1992 IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. 7080 Lake Drive - Planning Consultant Al Brixius reviewed this items which involves property on Lake Avenue Zoned GB and containing a single family residence in good repair. The property is for sale and a potential buyer would like to operate a small business out of the accessory building located on the property. According to the Zoning Ordinance, the business is a permitted use but the single family residence is not, and the Ordinance does not have any provision for this type of situation. Staff is asking the Planning Board for direction in this matter as there are other properties within the City in similar circumstances. Mr. Brixius provided the Planning Board with an example of an "Interim Use Permit" and the State Legislation creating such a vehicle for the Boards review. The Interim Use Permit would allow a use similar to that mentioned and provide an expiration date allowing the property to be brought into total conformance with the Zoning Ordinance at a future date. The purpose is to encourage and promote business, allow use of the single family home and provide for an orderly transition to a total business use. The Planning Board had several questions regarding the site and the use of an Interim Use Permit. Tom Mesich asked if we could issue a CUP for this use and was advised that the Interim Use Permit would be the best tool to use. James Schaps asked what could be done in the next 30 days regarding this item. City Engineer Schneider stated that we could take the matter to the City Council Work Session and ask them for direction. The Planning Board concurred with this suggested and also indicated that they would be willing to hold a special meeting to review the matter if necessary. B. Apitz Garage, Birch Street - Rocky Goertz was present representing Apitz Garage. He explained they are proposing a 576 square foot addition to their building and have letters from three adjoining property owners indicating no objections. He asked the Planning Board if they could possibly waive the public hearing as there are not objections to the request and construction time is short. The Board advised him that he would have to go through the public hearing process as this is an Amended Conditional Use Permit. Tom Mesich moved and was seconded by Monika Slatten to schedule the public hearing for June 10, 1992. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. Comprehensive Plan - Planning Consultant Brixius reviewed three Comprehensive Plan Amendments involving the Sewer Plan, Land Use Plan, and MUSA Expansion. He explained that these amendments have been reviewed and approved by the Metro Council but not officially adopted by the City Council. Mr. Brixius' reports are on file and
