OPEN MIKE: Gene Orfei and Alan Tschida - Alan represents Paul. Miller owner of Acton Construction in Hugo. They sold 5.8 acres to Gene Orfei of the Acton yard. There were questions regarding subdivision approval. Let the record reflect that Mr. Prokop joined the Planning and Zoning meeting at 7:12 p.m. The discision was made for Gene Orfei to apply for a variance because he wishes outside storage. There was also a recommendation that a variance be considered for Phelps Road because it ends in a cul -de -sac and is more than 500 feet in length. "A variance would also be required because there would be no access on a public road. There would also be difficulties in fencing off or blocking a public road if the gate at Acton's property were maintained." RON STAHLBERG - TKDA - CITY ENGINEER R -1 Lake View Place - This was reviewed by Metro Council. Metro Council said this is not in the MUSA boundry. Zoning is R -1 Urban Residential.

Crohn seconded the motion. More discussion - Chairman Dave Cody called for the question and a vote was taken and the motion failed with Irwin, Averbeck, Nelson and Prokop voting no. Dave Cody abstained. MOTION: Prokop to request Planner to draft an ordinance revision to allow for some type of relief of the question of ...square footage, something less than allowed on a one acre lot but more than on a city lot. Perhaps..." using Irwins percentage suggestion (Anything above 3/4 of an acre can have 20 of the size of the lot) or some other appropriate way of doing so. Irwin seconded the motion and the motion was carried unanimously. PLANNING DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPING A STREET NAMING POLICY: In the past 15 years there has been considerable effort put forth to develop rational street naming policies in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. A recent Washington County publication gives eight reasons for implementing a uniform street naming and numbering system: 1. Make the change now while it is relatively easy; such a change will be much more difficult in the future; 2. Reduce difficulty in emergency vehicle travel to property; 3. Reduce loss of mail, incorrect deliveries, loss of time, and wrongly addressed mail; 4. Improve the "Image" of the County gained by visitors; 5. Reduce "searching" for addresses by moving vehicles; 6. Improve delivery truck services; 7. Improve maintenance of legal documents; and 8. Eliminate duplicate addresses MOTION: Prokop moved to have the City Planner - John Miller have the question researched on Street Naming and get a cooperative effort with the surrounding communities to approach Anoka County as to whether we should follow the Anoka County Plan or perhaps adopt the Metro Council Plan. • • Page -5- Planning and Zoning Averbeck seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. PLANNING DISCUSSION OF TEMPORARY TRUCK PARKING ORDINANCE CHANGES: Section 8 of the city's zoning ordiannce provides regulations for parking of cars and trucks in the city's several zoning distracts.

That the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 4.

INSPECTOR: Pete updated the Planning and Zoning Board by showing them the storm shelter plan from the Baldwin Lake Trailor Court.

ADDITIONS: Prokop went back to the February minutes and made corrections: * The P & Z members only got the odd number of pages of the council minutes.
