8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Planning Commission Recommendation for amendment to Oakdale Gun Club CUP Planner Dillerud reported at its September 14, 1998 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation to approve Oakdale Gun Club's application to amend the existing Gun Club CUP to permit construction of two new structures (caretakers residence and storage building) that will replace two existing structures. The new structures would be sited within the 40-acre Gun Club site at locations different from the existing structures they are intended to replace. The 1997 OP Comprehensive Plan Amendment reclassified this parcel from AG to OP, which results in the Gun Club becoming a non -conforming use since target ranges are only allowed as a Conditional Use in the RR district. The Commission recommended as a condition of approval that this parcel be reclassified from OP to RAD in the Comprehensive Plan, which would coincide with the RR zoning classification, and remove the non -conforming status of the Gun Club use. M/S/P Johnston/Dunn — to adopt Resolution No. 98-58, as amended (Pg. 2, Condition 3. ----from OP to RAD.), A Resolution granting a Conditional Use Permit amendment to the Oakdale Gun Club to allow construction of a caretaker residence and storage building. (Motion passed 4-0). Attorney Filla pointed out the City does need to take care of the amendment to the Land Use Plan before building permits are granted. B. Ordinance amending Section 1360.01, Subd 5 Snow Fence At its September 14, 1998 meeting, City Planner Dillerud presented the Planning Commission a draft ordinance, amending Section 1360.01 Subd-5 Snow Fences:; "Snow fences shallnot be located within fifty feet of property lines or public streets. Snow fences shall not beiplaccdprior rtoNovember..land shall -be . removed prior to April 15." The Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinance amendment: M/S/P D .../D_T d unn a app - to postpone cons erahon until Councilman DeLapp gets his comments into the City Planner for his reaction and place on October 20 Council agendar (Motion passed 4-0). . C. Repeal of Future Land Use Map City Planner Dillerud reported the Planning Commission adopted a motion recommending to the Council that the Land Use Map element of the Comprehensive Plan be amended to delete OP guiding; and reintroduce the land use guiding in place prior to the May 21, 1996 adoption by the Council of the OP amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission also recommended that the reintroduced land use guiding preclude residential land development of the type represented by RE guiding and zoning. The City Attorney has advised that State Statutes mandate consistency between the Land Use Map and the Zoning Map within 90 days. Council member Dunn was not in favor of the mandatory feature of OP, but suggested that OP be an optional development procedure, with RR development into 10 acre parcels, and RR clustering continuing to be permitted, even within areas of the City designated for OP. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston — to direct the City Planner to prepare a modification of OP standards in the Lake Elmo Municipal Code and Comprehensive Plan. This modification would permit property owners the option of developing under Ag, RR, RR clustering or OP zoning. (Motion passed 4-0). D.
