Excerpt DRAFT of Lake Elmo Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br />April 24, 2006 <br />Review of Setbacks in RR Zoning District <br />Review of Setbacks in RR Zoning District <br />The Planner has brought forth a comparison between setbacks in two zoning districts: one <br />is RR with low density and the other is RE with higher density, yet the setbacks in RE are <br />greater than they are in RR. The Planner said the RR standards were written long before <br />the RE standards. The Planner said the City Council would like the Commission to <br />consider amending setbacks wherever they make sense. <br />M/S/P, Armstrong/Deziel to recommend letting sleeping dogs lie and to make no change <br />to RR setbacks because there will be no new RR parcels in Lake Elmo, existing owners <br />knew what they were getting when they bought RR parcels, and RE setbacks were <br />created to keep houses apart in a higher density neighborhood of homes. Vote: 8:1 <br />Schneider -We should address it. <br />
