• • • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD May 14, 1986 Page Three Mr. Prokop told Mr. and Mrs. Hill that their request would go on to the City Council for final consideration on May 27, 1986 at 7:00. WAYNE SCANLAN - TEXT AMENDMENT Mr. Scanlan appeared before the Board to request an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow him to build and operate an animal clinic and boarding facility for mostly dogs, cats and horses on a parcel in a light industrial zone fronting on Otter Lake Road. He explained that the lease will be done at the present clinic on July 15, 1986 and he has chosen a 5+ acre site on which to move his practice. He briefly explained the type of buildings he plans to construct and that he would return later with site and building plans for the Board's consideration. Mr. Johnson, City Planner, explained that the present ordinance addresses proper zones for an animal clinic and proper zones for a boarding facility, but the combination clinic /boarding facility is not addressed within the ordinance. Mr. Johnson's recommendation was that the most appropriate zone for this type of operation would be the light industrial zone and that a animal clinic /boarding facil- ity should be a conditional use in the light industrial zone. MOTION: Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to Council a text amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow a "veterinary clinic or office with holding facilities" as a conditional use in the light industrial zone. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. L & G REHBEIN - CONCEPT APPROVAL FOR LIME SLUDGE /PARK DEDICATION Mr. Granger represented L & G Rehbein, along with an engineer from Comstock and Davis, Inc. The Park Board approved the "concept" earlier in the year sending it on to the Council. The Council then sent the issue to the P & Z for consideration. The plan would call for removing fill from a parcel of property on the east side of 35E and replacing the void with layers of lime sludge (a by- product of water treatment from St. Paul Water Department) and native soil. After completion of the project, the property would beldonated to the City. The project would be completed to conform to a park layout plan put together by the City in advance of the project. The P; &:Z Board stated that before hauling in and out of the site could begin, the parcel in question would have to have frontage on a road per the ordinance. This may require that a road be put in by L & G Rehbein, not only for their own use, but to the acceptance of the City.
