Planning and Zoning Board April 13, 1983 Page -5- ft. Johnson said each site will have a paved driveway. Garages will be optional. Mr. McLean asked about park dedication. Mr. Johnson said they prefer not to put in an active park. It was noted that Baldwin Park in Circle Pines is very near the site. It was felt the Board would like to see a completed tot lot or maybe even more than one at this site. The tot lot or lots should be developed by the plat developer before the area is fully occupied. Mr. McLean said if the Board deviates on the minimum sq. .footage in this area they will be asked to deviate in other areas of the City. Mr. Ostlie noted if this was developed Pi,7D they could deviate lot sizes. Mr. McLean felt this was not wise since the area will have to be rezoned regardless. Mr. Johnson said he appreciated the Boards comments and he will take them and apply them to his planning. The construction of the manufactured house itself was also discussed at this time. OLD BUSINESS Mr. McLean asked Mr. Kluegel if he has been checking the auto carrier people on Ash Street? Mr. Kluegel said yes, and will probably be going to court with at least one home caner. Mr. Goldade asked about the garage being built on the - ;est section of Ash Street. Mr. Kluegel explained that although work was progressing very slaaly, this will be an earth berm .me. Mr. McLean asked if there is a time limit on a building permit? Mr. Kluegel explained that as long as there is progress shown on the building the permit is valid. Mr. Prokop asked Mr. Kluegel to check on an ordinance that would require a building permit to be completed within a certain time period. He would like Mr. Kluegel to note each building where a permit has been issued but for some reason or another never completed so that the Planning and Zoning Board could make a recommendation to Council on an ordinance that would alleviate this problem. Mr. Ostlie asked about the "State Wide Standards and Criteria for the Management of Municipal Shoreland Areas in Minnesota" which he understood needs the Planning and Zoning Boards attent- ion. Mr. Goldade said that the Board had made a request of the staff to get a copy of the state criteria for this Board to use as a guideline. NEW BUSINESS Reclassification of County Road J - The Board had received a letter from Mr. Bill Short, City Planner regarding Ramsey County's proposal to reclassify a section of County Road J from Otter Lake Road to the 35E freeway from collector to minor arterial. Mr. Short in his letter explained he did not know what that impact on the potential for construction of a full dia- mond'interchange would be. He felt there would be no technical problems. Mr. McLean felt it might impact Mr. Hawkins who owns property north of County Road J and had been inquiring about obtaining a building permit for this property. Kluegel said he had talked to Paul Kirkvold, Ramsey County Engineer, who told Mr. Kluegel the change of classification would enhance the prospect for a full diamond interchange. Mr. McLean felt this situation needs more information from Mr. Short.
