• PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 3 NOVEMBER 12, 1992 • • dedicate a trail along Birch Street and work with the staff concerning a trail along the lake shore. One concern expressed by the applicant involved moving the east property line so it is perpendicular with the roadway. If this is done, acerage will be reduced and could cause a problem for the site. The church requested action on the subdivision so that they can purchase the property and then develop the final construction plans for later review. Chairman Schaps asked if permission was needed from the Rice Creek Watershed District and /or the Corp. of Engineers. Mr. Brixius stated that the proposed construction meets the requirements of our Shoreland Management Act and would therefore not require review from the Watershed or Corp. However, no drainage plans or grading plans have been reviewed to date and those may need approval from the Watershed or Corp. Mr. Schneider, City Engineer, explained that this property is on the route of a trunk sewer line to the Black Duck pumping station. There also has been interest in development of the property to the west of the proposed church site which would provide for better extension of the overall sewer system in the area. Timing is the key here, the extension of utilities to serve the church would be best accommodated along with development to the west - however, we do not know for certain when this will take place. It is possible the sewer to the east could be used on a temporary basis - either way - utilities are available but the best way to extend them has yet to be determined. Mr. Brixius explained that the P & Z could table the request, or to accommodate the applicant, could approve the subdivision with the condition that final plans be submitted for the conditional use permit. Mr. Schneider stated that since this is a church, and not a developer, the Council may agree with this arrangement. Mr. Robinson stated that if all conditions listed in the staff report are met - he has no problems with the request. Mr. Brixius added that the staff's idea of compliance may differ from the applicant's, however, the use is appropriate for the site. After some discussion Tom Mesich made a motion recommending approval of the subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Submitted lot lines are acceptable
