Planning and Zoning May 12, 1982 Page Five Mr. Kurth, Surveyor, reported that the Police Department had fount this plan acceptable in order to relive the illegal parking at that loaction. Mr. Nathe pointed out that he moved the house to the rear of the lot to provide additional parking for the 49 Club. Mr. McLean pointed out this leaves no fro,Vtage for the residence. There is only the 18' designated as driveway entrance. Mr. McLean asked the length of the driveway and Mr. Kurth said, approximately 150 /200 feet. The major concern of the Planning and Zoning was the use of the front part of the lot for a parking lot thus creating a lot with only 18 feet as frontage. Mr. Prokop pointed out that a recommendation bad been forwarded to the Council and it is a matter of record. Mr. Kurth was advised he could get a copy of the minutes form the office. No action was taken on this matter since the was for discussion only. PLAT- HARDWOOD RIDGE Mr. McLean asked if this is a platting request? (Mr. Short answered but could not be understood) Mr. Johnson asked why this was on the agenda and if Mr. Schrader was aware of the fact that this is not in conformance with the minimum lot requirements of the City Ordinances and was told the developer is aware of this. He is also aware that zoning and other ordinances will be looked at later this year. Mr. Schrader reported that he had met with staff several weeks ago and is aware of the City's requirements. This is a manufactured home to be placed on smaller lots to provide low cost homes. These homes will be palced on a permanent foundation to'be sold in the $41,000/$51,000.00 range. He also pointed out that the State Legislature passed legislation allowing manufactured homes on any residential lot in the City. Mr. Schrader felt that the best way to handle this matter is to creat a zoning district - then create a subdivision for this type of housing. Present Manufactured housing ordinance does not cover the type of housing. Standard platting ordinance creates the need for too many variances to make this type of housing comply. Mr. Schrader pointed out that in order to keep the cost in the $50,000.00 range, the lot must be kept to 75% of the value of the surrounding R1 area. The value of these lots. will all improvements in and paid would be $14,900.00. This determines that a 65'x100' lot would provide ample space if properly planned and constructed. Mr. Schrader asked to work with the City of Lino Lakes to create a manufactured housing district and an ordincance to govern this district. This would control-:the location of manufactured homes rather than having these homes built randomly around the City. Mr. Schrader pointed out that the land he is considering is ideally located - water and sewer is available from two sources - natural gas is also available and there is easy access to the freeways. Mr. McLean asked if Mr. Schrader had paid a 410 fee and Mr. Schrader said he had deposited $550.00 with the City. Mr. McLean suggested that he should ask for a refund since this does not conform to any standards of the City and if this is to be considered as a plat, it would be refused because of the non - conformance. Mr. McLean suggested that the office should not have asked for a fee. (Clerk's note:
