Members present; Swistoski, Prokop, Klaus, Johnson. JUNE 17, 1981 MINUTES Mr. Prokop moved to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Mr. Swistoski asked if there had been any decision on the Ice Cream Parlor. Mr. Doocy asked if he had read the Council minutes - this discussion is on page five. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Doocy reported that Mr. Schumacher is ill and will not be present. Mr. Doocy made note of one item in the Council minutes that the Commission should be aware of. The Council has gone on record as requiring crushed limestone rather than Class 5. Mr. Prokop asked how this should affect P&Z agenda - should they require limestone? or should the land owner be given a choice? Mr. Doocy asked if he would like a clarification of this point and Mr. Prokop said, Yes. He said he has no objections - just would like some directions as to which is more appropriate. Mrs. Klaus in reference to the Ice Cream Parlor - it would appear that no real decisions pEt would appear that if there is no decision made by the Planning and Zoning Board, the Council cannot follow on what their discussion was and what their concerns were and make a decision - perhaps the Planning and Zoning is falling short in not making a solid decision to be forwarded to the Council. He felt the Council expressed a concern about putting up a barrier but had felt it would only last one night. • SPECIAL USE PERMIT - LeROCQUE This is for the construction of a pole type building to be used for storage at the Contractor's Exchange location on Lake Drive. The size, type and location of this building was discussed as was the usage. Mrs. LaRocque said the office would not be moved into the new buildings This building will be painted the same as the other buildings. Mr. Doocy asked if Mrs. LaRocque could get a picture of the proposed building and she said she thought she could. Mr. Prokop asked if there was any consideration of expanding this business and Mrs. LaRocque said, No. Mr. Prokop then discussed landscaping of the lot. He suggested trees and /or shrubs for sight line screening. There was discussion on the upgrading of Highway #8 by Anoka County and it was suggested that this be presented to them to see if there would be any affect on the existing driveways. Mr. Johnson moved that the Planning and Zoning recommend approval of this with the stipulations that a picture of the building be provided, a landscape plan be provided before this is presented to the Council and Mrs. LaRocque consult with the Anoka County Highway Department on this plan. Seconded by errokop. Motion carried unanimously. VARIANCE - CHARLES GRAMITH This variance is for the splitting a land locked parcel of land and combining with two existing parcels of land to allow the rebuilding of a failing drain- • Planning and Zoning July 22, 1981 Page Two fields. Mr. Gramith did not have a certificate of survey and was unaware of the fact that he needed one. He said he would provide the necessary papers before the Council meeting on the 10th of August. Mr. Gramith had presented two alternatives to solve the problem with the septic system. Alternate 2, which necessitates the splitting of the land, seems to be the most feasible method to solve this problem. Mrs. Klaus moved to recomme0d to the Council approval of this lot split for the purpose of rebuilding the drainfield. This is a variance to Ord. #78 and Mr. Gramith will provide a certificate of survey to be presented at the Council meeting on August 10, 1981. Seconded by Mr.Swistoski Motion carried unanimously. SIGN PERMIT APPLICATION - ACTON CONSTRUCTION This is being applied for by the Far View Sign Company. This sign is located on the East side of I35E and a drawing was presented to the Board members. This drawing indicates the footage from existing signs and from residential property. This is an internally lighted sign and pictures of sample signs were presented to the members. Mr. Johnson moved to recommend to the Council approval of this sign permit application. Seconded by Mr.Prokop. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Hugo Comprehensive Land Use Plan Mr. Short had reviewed this plan. Mr. Prokop asked what should be done about the discrepancies between this Comprehensive Plan and this City's Comprehensive Plan? There was discussion on 'collector' and 'minor arterial' and the difference in the use of those types of streets. Mr. Prokop moved that the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the Hugo Comprehensive Plan and have reviewed the comments as submitted by Mr. Short, City Planner, and the areas of conflict, the Board suggests that the Lino Lakes designate of Main Street as a 'minor arterial' be maintained inview of the fact that it does connect activity centers of sub - regions, namely Lino Lakes and Hugo. 24th Avenue or Elmcrest, it is a dirt road although it is a County Line road,and is basically a local roadway. Otherwise, this Board would recommend approval of the Hugo Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Seconded by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried unanimously. PLATTING CHECK LIST This is a rough draft that has been put together by Mr. Mike Johnson. This is something this Board should take a look at, in depth, and present any Ssuggestions for changes or alternations. No action is required on this list at this time. There was some discussion on this list and some of the terminology, particularly 'hardshell'. Mr,„. Prokop suggested a 'flow sheet' indicating the sequence in which these itmes should be completed. ^i 1s • 1 Planning and Zoning Board July22, 1981 Page Three • Mr. Swistoski asked, in reference to the landscaping requirements of these commercial buildings, is there a time frame when this should be completed? Is there a follow up? Who is supposed to take care of this? It was gen#eraly felt that the Building Inspector is the one who keeps an eye on these requirements. It was also felt that these are issued under a special use permit that is reviewed annually. Mr. Swistoski pointed out several areas that he was concerned about. Mr. Doocy pointed out that his responsibility as Acting Chairman is just that - Acting Chairman. If anyone on this Board would like to assume the Chair, please contact Mayor Gourley. The second item is the need for two new members on this Board - one from the North West portion of the City to replace Mr.Bathke and someone from the Souths-t portion. If anyone has someone in mind, please contact the Mayor. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Prokop said he would have appreciated a call notifying him that the meeting had been delayed. Mr. Doocy had thought the members had been notifyed and if this ever comes up again, it should be the responsibility of the Chairman to notify the members. • Mr. Prokop moved to adjourn.
