Planning and Zoning Board March 14, 1984 Page -8- .asked if the only question here is that the lot is five acres rather than the required ten acres. What would be required, Conditional Use Permit, Variance? • • Mr. Ostlie asked Mr. Kluegel to check with the City Planner for an opinion on this matter and relate the information to Mr. Kulkey. Mrs. Klaus also asked . for an opinion on the question, in a Rural District, can an existing lot of five acres be considered as conforming for the pur- pose of home occupations in an accessory building? The Board indicated they would not be inclined to rezone this area from Rural to General Business. Mr. Kulkey was told Mr. Kluegel would contact him with this information. Mrs. Klaus - Informational Update - Mrs. Klaus said she would present her update at the next Board meeting in April. OLD BUSINESS A. Street Lighting Policy - The City Council has asked the Planning and Zoning Board to for their input in drafting a street lighting policy. Mrs. Klaus referred to an article, possibly from Business Week which does say that street lighting does reduce crime. The wording in the policy maybe should be changed. Mrs. Klaus moved to table the street lighting resolution until the April agenda. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. B. Amendment to Zoning Ordinance - Transmission Towers - Rural District. Mr. Kluegel said he had checked with the City Attorney regarding elim- inating transmission towers from the zoning ordinance. The City Att- ornery had prepared an amendment to the zoning ordinance eliminating transmission towers from the Conditional Use section of the Rural District. Mr. Prokop moved to endorse the amendment to the existing code provision, thereby deleting 6 (K), Section 6, subd. 2 of the zoning ordinance regarding transmission towers /radio, television, etc. the reason being of the lengthly discussion and dialog the Board had with the now with- drawn application by KJJO to install a transmission tower in Lino Lakes and the information received from the FFA and others on the matter which is pretty well summarized in the minutes of the January and Feb- ruary meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board specifically items One through three of the February minutes, 1) there would be no property tax advantage, 2) it would not create an opportunity for jobs, 3) would be sacrificing land which could be more intensely used in the future and the recommendations from the FFA. The motion carried unanimously.
