December 8, 1982 Planning and Zoning Board The minutes of the November 10, 1982 Planning and Zoning Board meeting were considered. The motion regarding Mr. Kenney's Special Use Permit for the sales of unpainted furn- iture should show that Mr. Doocy and Mr. Prokop voted against the motion. The motion passed with three voting for the motion and two voting against the motion. Mrs. Klaus moved to approve the minutes of November 10, 1982 with the above corrections. Mr. Gold - ade seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Goldade moved to approve the October 13, 1982 minutes as corrected. Mr. Doocy seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Goldade commented on the Council Minutes dated November 15, 1982, page 1, 10th paragraph. There should be three (3) Planning and Zoning Board requests. The third is that the Planning and Zoning Board be sent their minutes at the same time the Council is sent Planning and Zoning Board minutes so that the Planning and Zoning Board has a chance to review their minutes before the Council acts on their recommendations. Mr. Prokop arrived at 7:48 P.M. SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE - Henry Amundson • Mr. Amundson is requesting a Special Use Permit to construct a non - residental building in an area without sanitary sewer (Ord. #56, Section 4.23) and to construct a driveway with access to a street shown on the Adopted Major Thoroughfare Plan (Ord. #56, Sect- ion 4.04D). Mr. Amundson is also requesting a variance to Ordinance #85, Section 4 so that he can develope his site plan for an office building on lot 19, block 2, Caroles Estates II. Mr. Amundson explained the exact location of the lot, south of A -Well and north of Village Plumbing. Mr. Amundson explained he and a partner own the lot and have leases for all of the space. He will retain ownership. Mr. Doocy asked Mr. Kluegel if shrubs or shields on the back of the lots were required for the other development in this area. Mr. Kluegel said he would have to check the records. Mrs. Klaus read portions of Mr. Short's (City Planner) letter with his recommendations. Mr. Amundson said he has already corrected his drawings to reflect all of the changes Mr. Short has recommended. The corrected drawings were sent out to the Board Members so they should have a drawing that reflects all the necessary changes. Mrs. Klaus noted that the lot is located in an area now zoned commercial. The Comp- rehensive Plan designates this area as residential but since there is already comer- *cial development on both sides of the lot this development would be consistent with present development. Mr. Amundson told the Board there is a letter from the Anoka County Highway Department designating the location of the driveway. The County is requiring the friveway to be adjacent to lot 20 and combined with the driveway of lot 20. Mr. Short said by Ordin- December 8, 1982 Planning and Zoning Board Page -2- ance the maximum driveway width should be 26 feet. Later when lot 20 is developed there • will also be a 26 foot driveway on that lot making a combined driveway for lots 19 and 20 of 52 feet. Mr. Amundson said he would change his drawing to reflect a 26 foot drive- way rather than a 30 foot driveway. Mr. Prokop questioned the elevations drawn on the site plan. Mr. Kluegel showed the Board the original plat plan which shows the elevations to be the same. Mr. Johnson arrived at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Johnson asked what material will be used to construct the building. Mr. Amundson said the building will be constructed of wood and stucco. The only metal will be the drip caps. Mr. Johnson asked about the setback on the north side of the building. Mr. Amundson said there will be a 5 foot sodded area between the blacktop driveway and the lot line. Mr. Johnson noted that variances are usually granted for hardship cases. It would be hard to prove hardship of the land in this case. Ordinance #85 was read and it indicated that a variance can be granted if the variance is consistent with the letter and intent of the Community Development Plan. Hardship does not have to be proved. Mr. Doocy asked about the front setback. Will it be consistent with the development on either side of Mr. Amundson's lot. Mr. Kluegel said he would check the minutes regard- ing the other two developments to see that this development is consistent. S Mr. Johnson asked about the septic system. Mr. Kluegel said he had calculated using WPC -40 that a 1,250 gallon septic tank and 500 square feet of drainfield would be suff- icient for this development. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to the Council a variance to Ordinance #85 be granted to Mr. Amundson for the purpose as stipulated in Mr. Amundson's request dated November 29, 1982 for lot 19, block 2, Caroles Estates II. This variance would be consistent with the present use in this area. Mr. Goldade seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Johnson noted that the Special Use Permit request is for two purposes. Each purpose should be addressed in the motion to accept or deny the request. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to the Council that Special Use Permits as requested by Mr. Amundson November 29, 1982 for lot 19, block 2, Caroles Estates III in regard to 4.23 and 4.04D of Ordinance #56 be approved with the stipulation as stated by Mr. Amund- son that a 1,250 gallon septic tank and 500 square feet of drainfield as testified by Mr. Kluegel be installed and access to lot 19 shall be 30 feet at the roadway and tapered to 26 feet at the lot line and this be corrected by Mr. Amundson on his drawings (plot plan) as submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board as of December 8, 1982. Mr. Doocy seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to the Council that the request for the Special Use Permit request by the Henry James Properties represented by Mr. Amundson for a Special Use Permit to lot 19, block 2, Caroles Estates II to construct an office building with no • outside storage, to house lawyers, dentist, etc. dated November 29, 1982 be approved pending the check by Mr. Kluegel relative to landscaping and screening to make it con- sistent with the other commercial establishments in the area and also pending a check by Mr. Kluegel on the question of setbacks again to be consistent with the other comm- ercial establishment in the area, that it be a one ownership or partnership, not a con - dominium type of ownership and that the question raised by Mr. Short relative to parking • December 8, 1982 Planning and Zoning Board Page -3- wheel stops, etc. of his letter dated December 3, 1982 be complied with by Mr. Amund- son. This development will be consistent with what has already developed in the area. Mrs. Klaus seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. MOVING PERMIT - Henry Miers Mr. Johnson explained that this item is not on the agenda. However, it would be quite a hardship to make this item wait another month as the weather will be a major problem. Since the agenda was short gave his cjmsent to appear tonight. . 6,1 t NAJJSn I^� Mr. Miers is asking for a Moving Permit to move a house presently located at 525 Birch Street to 920 Birch Street. The house has been inspected by Mr. Kluegel and Council- woman Elcenpeter and found to be in good condition and meeting City construction require- ment. Mr. Miers explained the new location for the house is a lot he presently owns and on which he obtained a variance in April, 1982 to split from his property for a building site. The lot has a driveway already constructed and approved by the Anoka County Highway Department. Mr. Schumacher noted to be consistent this property should have a Special Use Permit as specified in Ordinance #56, section 4.04D. Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to the Council approval of the Moving Permit for Mr. Miers from 525 Birch Street to 920 Birch Street pending payment of the $75.00 moving permit fee and the completion and payment of the Special Use Permit for Section 4.04D of Ordinance #56. In granting this Moving Permit and Special Use Permit the Planning and Zoning Board feels the house is consistent with the general value of the homes in the area. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. STATE AID ROADS SYSTEM Mr. McLean has requested that Mr. Schumacher explain the Lino Lakes State Aid Road System to the Planning and Zoning Board. He explained that a system of State Aid Roads for Lino Lakes has been designed by the engineer and adopted by the City Council. This system was designed to be submitted to the State for funding. This does not mean that each and every road will be built since the plan is subject to review and change by the Council each year. OLD BUSINESS There was no Old Business. NEW BUSINESS Mrs. Klaus said she would like to thank the City for letting her attend the workshop on November 30, 1982. She felt the morning session was of particular interest. It was conducted by three lawyers. One thing she felt was important was the Special Use Permits are issued to the land not the landowners. Mr. Prokop asked about the 911 emergency number. There was discussion about the number. Mr. Doocy moved to adjourn at 9:40 P.M. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Aye.
