The DNR has responded that they have no problem with this request as there are no variances requested. M/S/P Graves/Dunn - to grant a Shoreland Permit to Merle and Fonda Olson at 10472 Stillwater Lane based on no variances being needed, and based on the applicant's conforming to any and all recommendations of the City Engineer. (Motion carried 4-0). G. Planning Commission Recommendation: Future R-1 Zoning Districts (1) Rezoning: Packard Park 3rd Addition (2) General Concept Plan, The Forest (Morton/Engstrom) The Planning Commission at their April 24th meeting recommended Council approval of Packard Park 3rd Addition, The Forest, Section 32 and part of Section 33 as future R-1 zoning areas. Mayor Dunn stated the Council was actively working on the Future Land Use Map and had a good workshop meeting on Thursday. The Council will work in a positive manner to consider what is best for the entire community. She supported both Packard. Park 3rd Addition and the general concept plan and will continue to work on the zoning needed for these parcels. Councilman Graveso—n+ot- make any commitments to the fact they will ultimately rezone The Forest because of the limitations of the Comp Plan right now. We are looking at eliminating the current restrictions on areas that would be rezoned R1 and RE. Graves felt that Packard Park 3rd Addn, is consistent with our comp ,plan. This was recognized that way when we considered both the 1st and 2nd addition. M/S_/ Moe/-eTr&v�- to recommend rezoning of Packard Park 3rd Addition from RR to R1 Councilman Williams -stated, as he has in the past, that our existing comp plan does not show either of these areas as R1 zoning. He would vote against these two proposals because they are in conflict with the comp plan. Administrator Morrison explained that the concept plan for The Forest is being presented in the first stage of the PRD ordinances. The next stage is the development stage where you would discuss the rezoning process. At that point, once the Council has approved a rezoning it would be like a comp plan amendment stating this is an R1 area. If you approve the rezoning of Packard Park 3rd Addn., you would be saying this is an R1 area, and they would proceed with the platting procedure. If the Council approves a rezoning at the concept stage, the process has been set forth, and it would be very difficult to deny a rezoning without being subject to some liability.
