Recommendation from Planning Commission on Highway 5 Study On December 13,1993, the PZ made a motion to amend the Comp Plan Future Land Use Map to show Limited Business - LB the same as allowed on 1-94 from Stillwater Blvd., north of the railroad tracks to County Road 13, on the south side of TH5. Administrator Kueffner stated before a study is done, 3M should be brought in to find out if they have intentions to develop their property. We are dealing with Hwy. 5 to clean up the Animal Inn in Agricultural zoning with very small lots and the Joe Roger's property. The PZ felt that LB would be a reasonable use on that strip of land. Council member Conlin explained the area that the planner suggested to look at in the study takes in the 3M property north of 5 and all the way to Stillwater Road to the south which is beyond the perimeters of what originally the PZ was looking at. She definitely was not in favor of a study that large. Conlin indicated LB is a good ordinance and suited for non -sewer area and appropriate for the south side of Hwy 5 and the railroad tracks. She felt it would be good for the Mayor to meet with 3M to discuss their long range plans for that area and at that time determine if the study should be done to the north. Council Member Mottaz added that we cannot exclude 3M property, but should ask them if they have any current plans and involve them in what's going on. He would like to wait until the Mayor comes back and ask him. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to table discussion on the Highway 5 Overlay Study until the Mayor returns from vacation to receive his input. (Motion carried 4-0).
