Please inform me if you will be unable to attend so I can determine whether or not there will be a quorum. Planing and Zoning Board December 12, 1984 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 7:32 P.M. on Wednesday, December 12, 1984 by Chairman McLean. Present: Goldade, Klaus, Ostlie, Prokop. Absent: Doocy, Cody. Mr. Kluegel and Mrs. Foster were also present. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - October 10, 1984 85 Mrs. Klaus stated that note should be made for the record with regard to the issue of approval of the amended conditional use permit request for the House of Praise, which was discussed at the October 10 meeting after having been approved by the City Council; that the P &,Z Board does not care to handle items in the manner in which this item was handled, The P & Z Board had been hurried into consideration of the request, and the City Council considered the request without the full participation and recommendation from the P & Z Board. Mr. Prokop moved to approve the October 10 minutes as presented with the note made by Mrs. Klaus. Seconded by Mr. Ostlie. Carried. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - November 14, 1984 Mrs. Klaus moved to approve the. November 14 minutes as presented. Mr. Goldade seconded motion. Carried with Mr. Ostlie abstaining. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT Mr. Kluegel reported the following items to the Board: - The November 26 Council approved the metes and bounds conveyance request by Mr. Morehouse, following the recommendations by the P & Z Board. - With regard to the issue of Centerville rezoning Larry Brokke's land, which was discussed under New Business at the November 14 P & Z meeting, Mr. Kluegel had sent copies of our Ordinance with regard to buffers in light industrial areas to the Centerville Clerk.- Centerville has approved the rezone. Mr. Brokke's concern about noise has been satisfied by the fact that business conducted near his home will be handle indoors. His concern about buffer was satisfied in that should trees be removed, a fence would have to be constructed as a buffer. - The Council will be interviewing planning consultants at their January 14 meeting. After a candidate has been hired, the Mayor has requested that the Council and P & Z Board have a joint break- fast meeting with the consultant. Mr. McLean was puzzled that the Council wishes to interview after • the P & Z Board did interview and presented a recommendation. He felt that the P & Z Board had spent considerable time and effort in the interviewing process. ACCESSORY BUILDINGS This item was listed on the agenda at this time, however, Mr. McLean suggested moving it to the end of the agenda because it would take quite a bit of time. Board agreed. g6 DOG KENNEL LICENSE - John Udstuen Planing and Zoning Pcird December 12, 1984 Page Two Mr. Kluegel said that since the Council had passed the 120 -day mora- torium on August 13, 1984, said moratorium period was over on Decembe 11, and therefore the P & Z Board would have to consider requests for dog kennel licenses under the old Ordinance. Mr. McLean made mention that the Council was given the proposed revision to the dog kennel Ordinance some time ago, and that should have been sufficient time to act on the proposal. Mr. Udstuen, 64th St. Lino Lakes presented his request for a dog kennel license, explaining his plans for location of the kennel. He also presented a letter of recommendation from Vadnais Heights where he had been involved in the operation of a dog kennel, and explained that all the dogs he keeps are 'debarked', and that this venture is strictly done as a hobby. Some questions and discussion followed. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council approval of a request by Mr. Udstuen, 64th St., Lino Lakes for the operation of a dog kennel as proposed on his application of November 19, 1984. The request meets the conditions of the .old Ordinance. P & Z would recommend a limit of four dogs at any time. Motion seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Mr. Goldade requested an editorial change to require that the appli- cant submit evidence of vaccinations of all dogs before approval and also annually thereafter. Editorial change accepted by Mr. Prokop. Mrs. Klaus seconded motion with editorial change. Carried. Mr. McLean explained to Mr. Udstuen that the P & Z Board is a recom- mending body and that final approval would have to come from the City Council at their next meeting on December 27. ACCESSORY BUILDINGS An interested party from the audience approached the Board asking that they consider the accessory building issue at this time, since he had taken off work tonight (just as he had twice previously) to hear the outcome of the accessory building issue. He also pointed out that overten other persons in the audience were present with interest in this issue. The Board then decided to handle this issue at this time. The Board reviewed the draft proposal which they had put together at their last meeting line by line, making changes as they felt necessary. Mrs. Foster was asked to type up the corrected version and forward to all members by the end-of Monday, December 17 with a note to the members to be sure and review andreontact Mr. McLean by Wednesday, December 19 with any concerns they may have. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend. to Council approval of the accessory building portion of the City Code as revised and corrected, subject to final review of corrections by all P & Z board members before Wednedsay, December 19. Motion seconded by Mr. Goldade. Carried. 2cn;nc December 12, 1984 Page Three Mr. Goldade voiced his opinion for the record, that he felt that a major change to the City Code, such as the accessory building changes, could be better and more fairly handled by ballot open to all voters than by the P & Z Board acting upon the wishes of a handful of people from the community. The Board took a five - minute break at this time. KENNEL CODE ORDINANCE 87 In response to questions which arose when the City Council considered the kennel code ordinance changes, the P & Z Board had the following. With respect to the minimum size lot requirement - the P & Z Board felt that there is a need for a minimum of five acres of land where there will be three or more dogs, and that the five acre requirement is consistent with the zoning district lot size requirements. With respect to the question of nuisance as raised by Mr. Reinert - the P & Z Board felt that the concern over the possibility of a dog kennel operation causing a nuisance is equal to the concern over the possibility of it causing a health, safety and welfare problem, and asked that the City Attorney make any necessary language changes to reflect that concern. With respect to questions about pre- existing dog kennels, they would Ibe covered under the 'grandfather clause'. The Board felt that the particulars in the revised dog kennel ordin- ance and been given due consideration and the particulars recommended were appropriate. REZONE ER TO LI - Joe Spetzman ?r. Spetzman reviewed his appearance before the City Council on November 26. Details of this are in'the 11/26 Council minutes. Basically, Mr. Spetzman wants to build a storage accessory building_ on his land which abutts his son's _land. His land is ER and his son's land is LI. Mr. Spetzman presented his request and referred to a letter from the City Planner, Mr. Chapman which suggested some alternative ways of handling the situation. The Board felt that Mr. Chapman has not addressed the problem of how to split off 2.8 acres of land with no frontage, as is proposed by Mr_ Spetzman. They also pointed out that to allow a non- conform- ing use would set a poor precedent, and that Mr. _Spetzman .should" consider building the storage accessory building on his son's LI land, to which Mr. Spetzman replied that he did not want to pay for . a building on his son's land, even -though it was -a partnership type business. The Board asked Mr. Kluegel to request of Mr. Chapman an alternative which would satisfy the parameters of the Ordinance. Mr. Prokop moved to table this issue until the January meeting pending review by the City Planner. Seconded by Mr. Goldade. Carried. 88 Planning and Zoning Board December 12, 1984 Page Four GROUP W CABLE - METES AND BOUNDS CONVEYANCE Jim Szurek represented Group W and introduced Mary Jane Thompson, who is replacing Steve Nierengarten of Group W. Mr. Szurek, showed proof of Mr. McDonald's signature as seller of the parcel of land Group W has contacted to purchase. Mr. Szurek also referred to a tine "triangle" of land, which if purchased would satisfy the requirement of frontage. He said that the land belongs to a trust and he had spoken to the trustees and had negotiated and agreed upon a price for the land and that he could purchase that tiny triangle_ piece imme- diately. Mr. McLean told Mr. Szurek that the triangle would be necessary to satisfy the frontage requirement, and that a public hearing and notification of the neighboring residents would also take place be- fore final approval. Mr. Szurek explained that with regard to screening, the area is very heavily wooded which would create a natural screen, and the building proposed is a 30' X 25' building, and that the area would be fenced. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to Council approval of the application by Group W Cable, 737 E. River Road, Anoka, MN and Leslie McDonald as owner, dated December 7, 1984 for metes and bounds subdivision for ten acre parcel as described in application and also a triangula piece of land (which is required to satisfy frontage requirements) be included within the application. Approval is recommended subject to Group W showing evidence of obtaining ownership. Motion seconded by Mr. Goldade. Carried. Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to Council approval of theCUP application by Group W Cable, 737 E. River Road, Anoka, MN and Leslie McDonald as owner, dated December 7, 1984, to construct one 150 foot antenna and two satellite dishes and one block building for cable TV trans - mission•purposes. The approval would be limited to a 30' X 25' block building, a 15' wide roadway with a small (2 -3 car) parking lot, antenna and dishes enclosed with a 6' chain link fence. This approval is contingent upon approval of the metes and bounds convey- ance application. Motion seconded by Mr. Ostlie. Carried. OLD BUSINESS Mrs. Klaus noted that the House of Praise has still not begun their construction which was - presented as a situtation which needed to be done immediately. Mr. Goldade and Mrs. Klaus reported on their attendance at the Annual Planning Seminar. Some of the items discussed included soil erosion as the number one pollutant, handicapped people being allowed to liv together in single family residences, and a checklist to be used by Board members in decision - making. The checklist will be copied and sent to members. Mr. McLean thanked the group as Chairman, for their effort .and dedi- P1anning and December 12, 1989 Page Five cation over the past year. He told the Board that he had expressed to the administration his desire to continue his service. Mr. Prokop moved to adjourn at 11:00 P.M. Motion seconded by Mr. Goldade. Carried. 89
