Members present: Cody, Doocy, Prokop, Klaus. Members absent: Goldade, Ostlie. Also present were Mr. Johnson, City Planner; Mr. Kluegel, Building Official and Mrs. Foster, Secretary. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - December 11, 1985 Mr. Doocy noted that page four of the 12/11/85 minutes indicates a motion which was made by Mr. Doocy which was inadvertently placed under the wrong topic of discussion. He brought this concern to the secretary's attention before this evening's meeting. In reviewing the tape recording of the 12/11/85 meeting, the secretary found that this error has indeed occurred. Mr. Doocy asked that the following paragraph be added to the 12/11/85 minutes under the topic of "Paul Tubbs - Metes & Bounds Subdivision ", to replace the incorrect paragraph, page 4, 12/11/85 minutes: "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 the motion. Motion carried." Mr. Doocy also questioned two areas within the 12/11/85 minutes wherein the P & Z Board requested that items be "forwarded to Council ". He seemed to recall that the P & Z Board asked that these two items be "returned to P & Z ". The concensus of the Board was that these items were meant to be "forwarded to Council ", therefore no change was requested with respect to this concern. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to approve the minutes of the 12/11/85 P & Z meeting to include Mr. Doocy's correction regarding the Paul Tubbs Park Board review. Mr. Cody seconded the motion which carried unanimously. OPEN MIKE Mr. Roger Kolstad represented Russ Holman and Voyageur Log Homes asking the feasibility of erecting a 10' X 20', doorless, wireless, windowless, unattended temporary "model" of a Voyageur Log Home. This model would be erected close to Arctic Sandblasting just off 35W and a 4' X 8' sign would be put on the roof for advertising purposes, and be on the Forrest Tagg property (light industrial), Mr. Johnson recommended that this request be handled as a sign permit and he also recommended that travel to the "model" be restricted rather than encouraged. Mr. McLean asked that the applicant approach this request as a sign permit and confer with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Kluegel to research the requirements of a sign per the sign ordinance. Mr. Kluegel was reminded to check the spacing between this and nearby signs and take note that the sign ordinance calls for a steel base for a sign of this size. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT • Mr. Kluegel reported that the 12/23/85 Council approved A -Well /Paul Wolter's request for an amended conditional use permit requiring a $1,500 escrow to assure that stipulations of the C.U.P. are satisfied by 6/15/86. Also the Paul Tubbs subdivision (including the requested road adjustment) was approved. • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD January 8, 1986 Page Two JACK CANFIELD - METES & BOUNDS SUBDIVISION - VARIANCE TO LOT SIZE AND WIDTH Mr. Canfield represented his request for a metes and bounds subdivision for his property on Birch and 12th Streets. Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Canfield has been made aware of the requirements for frontage and lot sizes, but that he wished to pursue the variances. Mr. Johnson reviewed the request and recom- mended denial. Mr. Canfield said that he could planfor a three lot subdivision rather than a four lot subdivision and meet the ordinance requirements, however, financially he would prefer four lots. He also mentioned that he felt that he would have had adequate 10+ acre lots had Anoka County not taken a portion of his and for a road easement. Mr. Canfield was told that the financial position of the appl icant isnot the concern of the P & Z Board, but rather the situations which may be created for the City. Whether or not the Board can consider the County easement with regard to the lot sizes is a question which would need to be researched by the City Planner. Mr. McLean told Mr. Canfield that the P & Z Board will be beginning the task on 1/15/86 of reviewing the comprehensive plan for the City and that Mr. Canfield or any Lino Lakes citizen is welcome to attend these meetings and that there is a possibility that the area which Mr. Canfield owns may be subject to a rezone which would allow for smaller lots, in which case Mr. Canfield may want to pursue an entirely different subdivision. • Mr. Canfield appeared to be interested in this possibility and stated that he would like to attend the 1/15/86 comprehensive plan review meeting. MOTION:, Mr. Prokop moved that the request for a metes and bounds subdivision and variance to lot size and width for Mr. Jack Canfield be tabled until such time that the petitioner has had an opportunity to pursue future possibilities. There is no time limit in tabling this item. Mr. Doocy seconded the motion which carried unanimously. • NEW BUSINESS Mr. Johnson brought to the attention of the P & Z Board the proposed plat which has just been submitted to the City by D. Erickson Home Builders for a extension of sewer into the property across Birch Street from Lakes Addition for approxi- mately 100 homes (mostly 75' X 150' lots). This request is going through the initial necessary reviews by City Planner and Engineer. OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed some of the items for consideration during the upcoming comprehensive plan review and some of their thoughts regarding possible changes such as the possibility of smaller lots on the southern 1/3 of the City (south of Birch St.). There was also a concern voiced for the continuing problem of lack of park property on the east side of the City. Board members were reminded of the 1/15/86 meeting at 7:00 P.M. Mr. Kluegel was asked to send the comprehensive plan review priority list and comprehensive plan booklets to the task force members. Mr. Johnson suggested dotting a map of recent requests for variances, lot splits, etc. for use at the meeting. PLANNING & ZONING BOARD January 8, 1986 Page Three Mrs. Klaus mentioned that she had heard that Mr. Ostlie will not be accepting another term with the P & Z Board (his term expired 12/31/85). She asked that a letter of thanks be sent to Mr. Ostlie for his service and dedication to the P & Z Board. Mr. Kluegel mentioned that unofficially he had heard that Mr. Goldade would also not be accepting another term (his term also expired 12/31/85). Mr. McLean said he was sorry to lose both members. Mrs. Klaus moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:59 P.M. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Aye. • •
