MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to deny the requested CUP amendment as the keeping of horses is not a conditionally permitted use in the PF zoning district and to direct staff to review as quickly as possible an interim use option change to code. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Consider an ordinance to amend the allowable impervious surface coverage in all OP developments Ben Gozola, Senior Planner reported the City Council is being asked to consider an ordinance to amend the allowable impervious surface coverage in all OP developments. Staff is requesting this change as it has come to its attention that nearly all lots containing a home in this zoning district are nonconforming to the 10 percent impervious surface requirement. Staff provided two options in balancing the purpose of OP developments with the existing nonconforming lots. Staff recommended amending code to clarify that allowable impervious surfaces are calculated based on the gross size of the lot (typical); not the buildable land area and define the terms to clarify enforcement. MOTION: Council Member DeLapp moved to approve Ordinance no. 97-199 which allows impervious surfaces for primary structures and driveways up to 1 S% of the lot area and allow up to 17% of the lot area when factoring in additional impervious surfaces created by accessory uses. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. Mayor Johnston and Council Members Johnson, DeLapp, Smith voted in favor. Council Member Park voted against the motion. Take action to rezone four parcels in accordance with past land use decisions and the comprehensive plan Ben Gozola, Senior Planner, reported the City Council is being asked to consider an ordinance to rezone four parcels in accordance with past land use decisions. The four parcels are: Rockpoint Church currently zoned RR and proposed zoning to PF, City owned land currently zoned RI and proposed zoning to PF and E&E Properties currently zoned A and proposed zoning to Agricultural Business Park Holding District (HD -A -BP) Council Member Smith noted her concern that the drainfield is an illegal use and should not be located there without the final plat and development. This concern was separate and apart from the rezoning. Motion: Council Member DeLapp moved to table the rezonings of these three parcels until the first meeting in January, 2008. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 2007 4
