All voted aye. Motion carried. III. OPEN MIKE: No one was present for Open Mike. IV. ACTION ITEMS: A. 92 -43 -C, J. GRANDEL, 6891 LAKE DR., CONDITIONAL USE Mary Kay Wyland reviewed the staff report indicating that Ms. Grandel is requesting a kennel license for her property at 6891 Lake Drive. The property is 4.76 acres in size with a Zoning of R -1 on 2.95 acres and LI on 1.81 acres. Ms. Grandel currently has 9 dogs plus 2 puppies. Some of the dogs are handicapped and old. Several conditions were outlined should the P & Z allow the use. Ms. Grandel was present to answer questions and stated that she would like to keep 9 of the dogs and is working on finding homes for the two puppies. Her intention would be not to replace any of the dogs should they expire, until the limit of four is reached. Five small dogs are kept inside the house along with one larger dog, while the two puppies and three larger dogs are kept outside. In response to a concern by Mr. Mesich she indicated no objection to moving the dogs to allow access to her residence for police and /or emergency personnel. She indicated that she has lived on the property since 1983 and was not aware of the kennel license requirement. However, she has been court ordered to take the necessary • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 2 OCT. 14, 1992 steps to secure a license - this court order was not the result of a complaint but an observation by the police department resulting in a ticket. Mr. Mesich also asked if the larger dogs were aggressive and if she had considered constructing a larger kennel with runs for the dogs so they would not have to be chained in the yard. Ms. Grandel explained that the dogs afford some protection for the property but are not "attack" dogs. In response to a kennel with runs she indicated that was a possibility but she had not planned on it. Kathleen Nordine asked how many years she has had that number of dogs and Ms. Grandel replied - 15. Kathleen asked why the use was not Grandfathered in? Mary Kay explained that three adjoining property owners had called, not to complain, but to express concern if additional dogs would be allowed. They were advised that the request, if approved, would most likely either decrease the number of dogs or allow the existing number to remain. After some discussion Al Robinson made a motion recommending approval with the conditions listed below, and the addition of Condition I, and J. as suggested by Mr. Mesich. Mr. Gelbmann seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. CONDITIONS: a. The kennel shall be maintained in a manner so as not to be injurious to the public health, safety or welfare. b. The property shall be kept in a sanitary and healthful condition at all times. c. The property shall be open to complete inspection by any properly designated officer or employee of the city, at any reasonable time. d. No dog shall be allowed to run at large at any time. e. The dogs shall not be permitted to make noise from any cause whatsoever, sufficient to constitute a public nuisance. f. Any kennel kept in violation of any provision of the City Code Section 607 shall be deemed a public nuisance and may be abated as such. g. The kennel shall be restricted to 9 adult dogs, however, as the dogs grow old and expire, they shall not be replaced until such time as the four (4) dog limit, as stated in the code, is reached. h. A variance for lot area shall be made a part of this permit. i. Upon submittal of the formal kennel license application, Ms. Grandel shall supply copies of the AKC Registration for the poodles and include the names and ages of all dogs on the property. j. The dogs situated in the yard area shall be located so • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 3 OCT. 14, 1992 as not to pose a hazard to any police officer, meter reader, and /or emergency personnel approaching the house. B. 92 -46 -Z, R. Mastel, 7655 4th Ave., Rezoning Mary Kay Wyland reviewed the staff report and indicated that the request is to rezone approximately the South 175' of the Mastel property at 7655 4th Avenue from R1 to LI. The staff has included 330' to the south of Mr. Mastel's property into this request to avoid spot zoning and provide for some continuity in zoning. That parcel of property is currently owned by Molin Concrete who indicated no objection to the proposed rezoning and a willingness to participate. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning as requested for the reasons outlined in the staff report of 10/8. Mr. Bob Erickson of 347 Lilac Lane was present and asked what the proposed rezoning would do to property values. He had no problem with Mr. Mastel's request but opposed the rezoning of the Molin site. Tom Christian of 339 Lilac agreed with Mr. Erickson and stated his main concern was the property on the south /west side of the ditch. He also expressed concern about what Molin could build on the property if it were rezoned. Brad Lindgren of 388 Thomas also expressed concern about the Molin property being rezoned. He would like to see it all kept R -1. There is other industrial property in the City. Ivan Hendrickson of 372 Thomas agreed with Mr. Lindgren. Lucia Mueller, 380 Thomas asked what other types of uses could we get if Mr. Mastel were to sell. Mr. Mastel stated that he has substantially improved the property since purchasing it. At the time he purchased the property he met with the previous Planner and a Councilmember and was told that rezoning the property should be no problem. He just wants to be certain he can operate his business legally. He intends to operate a first class business and has been doing so for the past 10 years in the City of St. Paul. He has no intention of using the northern portion of his property for anything other than residential. He added that he would like to purchase the Molin site himself. After some discussion, Al Robinson moved and was supported by Kathleen Nordine to return this item to the PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 4 OCT. 14, 1992 staff for further consideration. It was suggested that a work session be held, and that Councilmember Kuether be invited to attend. All voted aye, motion carried to table request. C. 92 -47 -P, M. Carlson, 8189 20th Ave., Subdivision Mary Kay Wyland reviewed this request which is to add a .75 acre parcel to an existing .75 acre parcel to allow for the encroachment of some outbuildings. The larger parcel will remain 11.15 acres thus within the 10 acre requirement of the Rural zoning district and the smaller parcel with remain non - conforming - but with 1.5 acres rather than .75 as previously existing. Staff would recommend approval of the request as submitted. After some discussion Kathleen Nordine moved and was supported by Al Robinson to approve the request as submitted with the condition that the two smaller tracks be combined when recorded with the County. All voted aye. Motion carried. D. Resolution No. 92 -1, Tax Increment Financing -Dist. 1 -5 Mary Kay Wyland explained that this Resolution merely supports the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the proposed Senior Cottages on Elm Street that were previously approved by the P & Z Board. The Resolution must be added to their Tax Increment Financing Plan.
