1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 22, 1993 would mean that "private parks" would only be allowed via the PDO Planned Development Overlay designation. The proposed zoning amendment also substantiates the intent of the City's "PSP" Zoning District by requiring public and semi- public uses (schools, parks, etc.) to hold a public and semi- public zoning designation. An additional issue addressed by the proposed zoning amendment is that of accessory uses. The City's existing accessory use regulations provide a level of uncertainty as to what types of accessory uses are expressly permitted within the PSP Zoning District. Council Member Bergeson questioned the logic behind taking some of the conditional uses away and leaving other conditional uses. Mr. Brixius explained that the logic is to create a foundation to make better decisions regarding the use in certain districts. Council Member Bergeson noted that if this proposed zoning amendment is adopted, the City must rezone all City parks, cemeteries and possibly some school district property. Mayor Reinert noted that the proposal does not provide for any unusual provision and does give the City the opportunity to review specific proposals. Mayor Reinert also asked about "for profit" parks. Mr. Brixius explained that there are some commercial recreation uses such as a public golf course. Council Member Bergeson said he felt that schools and parks should be distributed into the neighborhoods and hoped that this proposed ordinance amendment would not regulate all such uses out of the neighborhoods. Mr. Brixius explained that the purpose of the proposed ordinance amendment was to intergrade these uses into the neighborhoods. Kerry Ostergren, 6900 Black Duck Drive presented background information regarding the proposed private park on Outlots A and B, Reshanau Park Estates. She read excerpts from previous City Council minutes and letters from various City staff and other regulatory agencies including a recent letter from the City Administrator regarding permit requirements for Outlots A and B. Ms. Ostergren requested that the first reading of the proposed ordinance be tabled until she has received answers to a list of questions that she then presented to the City Council. Mayor Reinert noted that some of the material presented by Ms. Ostergren was not quoted exactly. He asked that the list of questions be presented to the City Attorney. He will prepare answers with the assistance of the staff. PAGE 5 91
