Members present: Doocy, Prokop, Klaus, Ostlie. Members absent: Goldade, Cody. Also present were Pete Kluegel, Building Official; Richard Kulaszewicz, Liaison; Zack Johnson, Planner and Shar Foster, Secretary. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - February 13, 1985 Mrs. Klaus recommended the following changes to the February 13 minutes: 1) Page One - Paragraph 5 under 'Building Official's Report' to read: " . . . readdress the temporary sign issue of sign ordinance." 2) Page Two - Paragraph 6 under 'Feasibility - Car Wash' to read: " . . . Board would feel about the establish- ment of a . . ." rather than " . . . Board would feel about the establishing of a . . . ". Mrs. Klaus moved to approve the minutes as corrected above. Mr. Ostlie seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT Mr. Kluegel reported that - -1) The City Council has hired the new Police Chief who will be on board March 25, 1985. 2) The February 25, 1985 Council approved the rezone requested by Bruce Hanson from R2 to ER as recommended by the P & Z. 3) The February 25, 1985 Council approved the rezone requested by Joe Spetzman to rezone the south half of his property to Light Industrial and also to grant a variance to lot size and also a variance to frontage regulations. 4) With regard to the Robert and Juliet Lundgren /Donnell Realty metes and bounds subdivision request, the Park Board was scheduled to deal with the issue of park dedication at their meeting on March 11. That meeting did not take place due to a lack of quorum and has been rescheduled for March 18. OPEN MIKE No one appeared before the Board for Open Mike. PLANNER'S ACCESS PLAN FOR BURQUE AND TUBBS SUBDIVISION REQUESTS As was requested at the last meeting of the P & Z, Mr. Zack Johnson, the newly contracted City Planner, presented a plan of road access for the proposed Burque and Tubbs subdivisions. Because of the close proximity of the two proposed subdivisions, it was agreed that they should be handled together with respect to the roads and traffic patterns plan. 99 100 Planning and Zoning March 13, 1985 Page Two The Board reviewed Mr. Johnson's plan and made some additional recommendations and asked that Mr. Johnson take these recommenda- tions and the recommendations of the Park Board with regard to the park dedication issue involved with these subdivisions. Mr. Doocy moved to table the issue of the Audrey Burque and the Paul Tubbs metes and bounds subdivisions until receipt of a revised access plan and resolution of the park dedication issue. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Steve Nice from the audience asked why the Board could not deal with the portion of the Tubb's subdivision request which asks for a lot split which would add acreage to Mr. Nice's present property and bring his total property to over ten acres thus making his property less nonconforming in a rural zone. The Board explained that the package that Mr. Tubb's presented to the Board includes Mr. Nice's lot split and other items. The Board would have to consider the entire package. Should Mr. Nice wish to have his lot split considered separately, he would be required to make application separately and pay the $150 fee required. Mr. Tubbs and the representative for Audrey Burque asked for clarification with respect to the procedure and time frame ex- pected in continuing to pursue their requests. The procedure was discussed and clarified for all. NEW PLATTING ORDINANCE Mr. Zack Johnson presented an proposed addition to the City Code - Subdivision and Platting Section. One of the basic changes it would make is that minor subdivisions (as defined within the proposal) could be handled at the staff (planner) level, with reports made to the P & Z Board. The Board felt this may help lessen their work load; and recommended that the words 'Zoning Official' be used rather than 'Zoning Administrator'; and 'City Planner' be used rather than 'staff' when developing the final draft of the platting ordinance. Mr. Prokop moved to adopt the new platting ordinance as corrected, and after review by the City Attorney. Mrs. Klaus seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. DONNELL REALTY - METES AND BOUNDS SUBDIVISION This item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, but was not discussed. The Park needs to make a recommendation on this issue before P & Z consideration. 1 1 1 101 Planning and Zoning Board March 13, 1985 Page Three JOE SPETZMAN - SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW In discussing this site and building plan, the Board asked whether there were any concerns voiced at the hearing held by Council for Mr. Spetzman's rezone request. To address some of the concern shown, the Board felt that an immediate buffer between Mr. Spetzman's light industrial property and the residential property adjacent be required. Mr. Spetzman said that he has planted approximately 2,500 seedlings three years ago which would in a couple years pro- vide a more than adequate screen. The Board felt that 'a fence would need to be put up in the interim as a buffer. Discussion followed with regard to other specifics which are addressed in the following motion. Mr. Doocy moved to recommend to Council approval of the site and building plan review of Joe Spetzman with the following stipulations: 1) A six foot high, 165 foot long fence be constructed along the west side of the property, which could be removed when the trees provide a 50% screen; 2) There be no exterior storage; 3) There be no exterior lighting; 4) There be no parking outside the building; 5) There be no signage. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Motion carried unanimously. FRANK & KATHY SAMPAIR - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - COMMERCIAL STABLE Kathy Sampair presented her request for a conditional use permit to operate a commercial horse stable and explained the planned activities of such a stable. In response to questions by the Board, she explained that solid waste would be removed and used as fertilizer and that there would be no signage and that the sale of equipment as listed in her application would include only the sale of halters,lead ropes and other tack as needed and would not be a retail type sales situation. Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to Council approval of the condi- tional use permit requested by Frank and Kathy Sampair, 405 W. Ash St., New Brighton, MN, dated 2/25/85 for a commercial horse stable to include the activities of riding lessons, training, boarding, breeding, sales of horses and tack; provided that the drive and parking area be covered with a substantial rock -type paving. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion and suggested an amendment calling for the drive be a hard surface blacktop or concrete as recommended by the City Planner. Mrs. Klaus accepted the amend- ment. On the vote, the motion carried unanimously. The Board complimented the Sampair's on their presentation and said they appreciated getting a complete, well organized package such as this. Kathy Sampair said the credit should be given to the Building Official who led the Sampair's through the unfamiliar procedure. 102 Planning and Zoning March 13, 1985 Page Four FRANK & KATHY SAMPAIR - HOUSE MOVE IN Mr. Kluegel reported that the Sampair's wish to move in a rambler of 1144 square feet with an attached two -car garage which he has checked over and appears to be in excellent condition. Some dis- cussion followed, resulting in the following motion. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council approval of the house move -in request by the Sampair's in their 3/5/85 application provided that the Sampair's provide an acceptable landscape plan before moving the house. The Building Official would then be responsible to approve the landscape plan before issuing the permit. Mr. Doocy seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. At this time the Board recessed for five minutes. ED VAUGHN - SKETCH PLAN - FEASIBILITY Mr. Ed Vaughn presented a sketch plan for a proposed extension of sewer to be added to the Blackduck area and the building of residences on 3/4 to 1 acre lots. The Board explained that Mr. Vaughn should take care of the necessary red tape with Metro Council, Metro Waste Commission, Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of Engineers, Rice Creek Watershed District, etc. before appearing before the Planning and Zoning Board. They explained that this is a long process that Mr. Vaughn is em- barking upon and that when the P & Z Board considers a preliminary plat, they would have to change the City's Comprehensive Plan, rezone the property, etc. which would also take some time. SIGN ORDINANCE - AMENDMENT It'has come to the attention of the Board that the City's sign ordinance does not comply with the State Statute with regard to advertising signs in rural areas. The State does not allow this. Mr. Kluegel also suggested that Section IV. "General Regulations" Paragraph V of the Sign Ordinance be changed to read: " . . . Portable signs are allowed for one thirty -day period per year per address." The Board requested that Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Zack Johnson rewrite the sign ordinance and have the City Attorney review it also for language, making sure that the changes noted above are made. Mr. Kluegel should then bring the proposed rewritten ordinance to the Board for final approval. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Board explained to Mr. Zack Johnson that the Comprehensive Plan for the City has been revised when Mr. Short was City Planner and 1 1 1 Planning and Zoning March 13, 1985 Page Five 103 then Mr. Chapman was asked to review it. Now that Mr. Johnson is the City Planner, he was asked to review the original Comprehensive Plan versus the 'editorial changes' that were made, bring the changes to the Planning and Zoning Board at their next meeting so that all are informed of the changes which were made. OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Prokop asked Mr. Kluegel if he knew why the City is plowing the unfinished roads in West Oaks. He felt that if the City plows the road it is a sign of accepting the roads. Since they are not up to City standards, he felt that they should not be plowed. Mr. Kluegel said that he would check into this, and that he is holding a letter of credit which insures that the roads will be completed to City standards. The Board asked that Mr. Kluegel make sure the letter of credit does not expire before the work is done. Mr. Doocy publicly acknowledged the time - saving communications, memos, etc. that Mr. Zack Johnson has put into use and showed his thanks and appreciation for this type of communication. Mr. Kluegel was asked to find out who is responsible for checking to see that stipulations governing individual conditional use permits are being followed. It appears that some conditional use permits which have been granted in the past have continued past the time granted, or else are not complying with other stipulations set at the time of granting the conditional use permit. Mr. Kluegel was particularly asked to check into the conditional use permit granted to Marcel LeRoux for mining. It was felt that someone should be responsible for reviewing on an annual basis. Mrs. Klaus publicly acknowledged the checklist that Mr. Kluegel has started to use for each item on the Planning and Zoning Board agenda. She felt that this checklist is very helpful and thanked Mr. Kluegel for putting it into use. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 P.M.
