Adjourn 50 PLANNING AND ZONING-BOARD December 11, 1985 Chairman McLean called to order the regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board at 7:07 P.M., Wednesday, December 11, 1985. Members present: Goldade, Klaus, Prokop, Doocy, Cody. Members absent: Ostlie. Also present were Mr. Zack Johnson, City Planner and his associate Mr. Wuornos; Mr. Kluegel,Building Official; Mrs. Foster, Secretary. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 13, 1985 Mr. Prokop moved to approve the minutes of the 11/13/85 P 8 Z meet- ing as presented. Motion seconded by Mr. Cody and carried unani- mously. OPEN MIKE - Mr. Montgomery Mr. Montgomery appeared before the Board for direction as to what they would expect from him. He has bought the El Rehbein warehouse building on Lake Drive, just north of A -Well Drilling. The Board informed Mr. Montgomery that he should submit a site and building plan to the Board for consideration and be specific as to screening around the area where his trucks and other machinery will be stored, the areas which will be paved for the driveway and office parking (per ordinance). Mr. Kluegel can assist him and inform him as to the requirements of the ordinance. OPEN MIKE - Forjays, Mr. Zelinka Mr. Ernie Zelinka appeared before the Board asking for guidance as to which direction he should follow in order to convert 15 of his 20 greenhouses at Forjays to mini storage buildings over the next few years. Presently his property is zoned R -3. A mini - storage facility is not a permitted use in this zone, therefore, a rezone or ordinance amendment would be necessary in order for Forjays to pursue this endeavor. Mr. McLean suggested that Mr. Zelinka look into a PUD (planned unit development) district and gather further information from Mr. Johnson, the City Planner. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT Mr. Kluegel reported to the Board the following actions by the City Council at their 11/25/85 meeting: - Ordinance 09 -85 dealing with the subdivision of land went through its second reading and was adopted. - Approval was granted to Jim Spetzman for a conditional use permit (this item was discussed at the 11/13/85 P 8 Z meeting). Approval was granted to Lino Ventures for their site and building plan (this item was discussed at the 11/13/85 P 6 Z meeting). 1 151 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 11, 1985 Page Two Approval was granted to Jerry's Garden Shop for their site and building plan (this item was discussed at the 11/13/85 P & Z meeting). Mr. McLean noted that the Council's approval of the Spetzman request has set a precedent as to number of principal uses on one property. Mr. Kluegel said that Mr. Johnson has distributed a memo dated 12/11/85 which makes recommendations with regard to number of principle structures per lot. Discussion of this issue appears later within these minutes. UNDERGROUND ROAD POLICY This issue has been back and forth from the City Engineer to the P & Z Board several times during the last few months. City Engineer, Mr. Toddie's latest memo dated 12/4/85 with regard to installation of underground utilities under roadbeds was included in the P & Z packets as requested by the P & Z Board. The Board felt that the Engineer's recommendation regarding the requirement of a surety bond should have been stiffer. The Board felt that the words "corporate undertaking" should be stricken from item 2, second paragraph on Mr. Toddie's 12/4/85 memo. Also the Board felt that in instances where installation of utilities will require road cuts, that the engineers always require a bond, which would make it necessary for the language to be revised, i.e., "may" changed to "will ", "in those instances where" removed. Mr. Kluegel was asked to direct the engineer to make these changes and forward to the Council, in the form of a policy. PRINCIPAL USES PER LOT Upon request by the P & Z Board, Mr. Johnson and his associate, Mr. Wuornos submitted a memo dated 12/11/85 of their recommendations regarding the number of principal uses to be allowed per lot. The memo suggests refining the ordinance to base use per lot on "performance standards" such as lot coverage ratio, density, setbacks, parking, etc. The Board concurred with these recommendations. Mrs. Klaus also suggested that a catch all statement such as "prohibited if not specifically permitted" be incorporated into the ordinance to cover any situations which are not specifically addressed. Mr. Johnson will return with proposals for these ordinance amendments. PAUL WOLTERS /A -WELL DRILLING Mr. Wolters appeared before the Board to request an amended conditional use permit. Mr. Wolters originally was granted a conditional use permit for which records indicate a second business was intended. Until recently, that second business was GO Auto. C & D Auto, in the business of removing, replacing, and rebuilding passenger car motors, is interested in leasing one of Mr. Wolters' buildings in which to operate. Mr. Kluegel 152 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 11, 1985 Page Three noticed sometime ago that C & D was operating in Mr. Wolters' building and informed Mr. Wolters that he is required to apply for an amended conditional use permit. Mr. McLean asked if Mr. Wolters is in compliance with the condi- tions of his conditional use permit. Mr. Kluegel said yes, he was. The Board discussed the requirements for screening, paving and outside storage. MOTION: Mr. Cody moved to recommend to Council approval of an amendment to a conditional permit for Mr. Paul Wolters, 7791 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes with the following conditions: 1) wooden fence be extended along south side of the property to the pond in the rear and 40 feet on the west side, 2) all access drives be paved with a minimum of 12 foot wide bituminous or concrete surface, 3) the exterior storage area be filled with a minimum of class 5 surface, 4) exterior storage be limited to ten vehicles and no other equipment, parts or product. Approval is recommended because it appears that the applicant has met the requirements of subdivi- sion 5 with respect to conditional use permits. Mr. Goldade seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAUL TUBBS - METES & BOUNDS SUBDIVISION Mr. Tubbs appeared before the P & Z Board (continuance from last mont with an alternate road plan for a metes and bounds subdivision of lan owned by Mr. Al Augustine in the southeastern portion of the City. At the last meeting of the P & Z, Mr. Tubbs presented a plan which the P & Z Board felt did not incorporate the street /access plan that Mr. Johnson recommended in April, 1985 for that portion of the City. Mr. Tubb's explained that after submitting his second proposal (which the Board received in this month's packet) he thought of an additional change which would provide 20+ acres in parcel F. The Board felt that this change would be acceptable, but that Mr. Tubbs would need to have his surveyor draw up another revision including this change, submit this revision to Mr. Kluegel, and if Mr. Kluegel finds this revision the same as Mr. Tubbs' explanation this evening, then this item can go directly on to the Council for consideration. MOTION: Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to Council approval of a metes and bounds subdivision as requested by Paul Tubbs for Al Augustine, for a piece of land referred to as Parcels E and F on submitted survey. Mr. Tubbs will submit to Council (after Mr. Kluegel's review for compliance with this evening's discussion) a revision of the survey and road pattern for this subdivision request. The P & Z Board requests that the City Attorney consider a proviso making the area west of the road not a remainder interest The P & Z recommends approval after the revised survey and after City Attorney's review. Mr. Goldade seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. MOTION: Mr. Doocy moved to refer the Paul Tubbs Metes & Bounds Subdivision to the Park Board for their recommendations before Council approval. Mrs. Klaus seconded. Motion carried. 1 1 1 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 11, 1985 Page Four AMENDMENTS TO CITY CODE Park Dedication - Ordinance #14 -85 The Board discussed the proposed amendment to the City Code with respect to park dedication. They were concerned that the new park dedication amendment calling for $160 per unit or ten per- cent of the fair market land value would generally mean that the City would collect money rather than land for park dedication. The consensus of the Board was that this would not be conducive to procuring land which is so badly needed, particularly in the southeastern portion of the City. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to not recommend approval of this ordin- ance ( #14 -85), but rather have it sent back to the originating organization strongly suggesting that the language be changed so that the City has the opportunity to take land at their dis- cretion in plats and metes and bounds subdivisions for park dedi- cation. Motion seconded by Mr. Doocy, and carried unanimously. Day Care Nurseries - Ordinance #13-85 Per P & Z's request at their 11/85 meeting, Ordinance #13 -85 pro- posing an amendment to the code regarding day care nurseries was considered by the P & Z Board. City Attorney, Mr. Hawkins sub- mitted a letter dated 12/10/85 explaining his findings in review of this issue. Mr. Hawkins noted that the amendment which the P & Z was considering this evening does not address day care nurseries of over twelve persons. The Board requested that this Ordinance #13 -85 be returned to the City Attorney and revised to address over twelve persons per his 12/10/85 letter, before forwarding to the Council. Surface Drainage - Ordinance #15 -85 Ordinance #15 -85 was reviewed by the P & Z Board. This ordinance deals with design requirements for off - street parking. The Board realized in discussion that some members interpreted "off- street" parking as driveways and customer parking lots, while other members' interpretation was that "off- street" parking included areas where any motorized vehicle would be stored (such as in exterior storage areas for a business). MOTION: Mr. Cody moved that the words "and storage areas" be added to the proposed amendment, which would clarify and require that exterior storage areas where vehicles are parked be paved with bituminous or concrete surface. Mr. Cody later withdrew this motion. 153 154 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 11, 1985 Page Five MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to approve Ordinance #{15 -85 including the following changes: Section 8, Subdivision (4)(C) Surfacing and Drainage. All off street . . . except permitted uses in the R and ER Districts shall be paved . . . Section 8, Subdivision (4)(C) (paragraph 2): Permitted used in the rural district and ER district shall be allowed . . . The two changes recommended above eliminate the words "and ER ". Mr. Cody seconded the motion. On the vote, Mr. Goldade opposed, motion carried. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW Mr. McLean suggested that a task force be created to review and update the comprehensive plan for the City. The members he suggested for the task force would be members of the P 6 Z Board, Building Official, City Planner, two members of the Economic Development Committee, a representative from the Park Board, a couple of public spirited citizens, and the Council liaison. He suggested that the course of the review should follow the direction outlined in Mr. Johnson's 9/10/85 memo. The Board agreed with Mr. McLean's suggestidn and set a tentative date of January 15, 1986 at 7:00 P.M. Mr. McLean asked that a secretary be made available for this and further task force meetings. Mrs. Foster said this would need to be discussed with the City Administrator. NEW BUSINESS Blaine Zoning Map Mr. Kluegel showed a zoning map for the City of Blaine which he received with a letter asking that Lino Lakes comment before a certain date. The P 6 Z Board did not meet in ample time to review and comment before the date requested. They did however, briefly review the zoning map and asked Mr. Kluegel to write to the City of Blaine explaining that for reasons of timing, Lino Lakes will not be commenting on the map. OLD BUSINESS The Board wished to commend Mr. Kulaszewicz on his many years of service to the P 6 Z Board and to the City. The meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M. 1
