SPECIAL Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes of May 31, 2007
Chairman Ptacek called to order the meeting of the Lake Elmo Planning Commission at
7:00 p.m. COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Ptacek, Van Zandt, Schneider, Roth, Deziel,
Fliflet, McGinnis (7:06). STAFF PRESENT: Senior Planner Gozola and Planner
Matzek.
Agenda
M/S/P, Roth/Fliflet to approve the agenda as presented. Vote: 6:0.
Zoning Code Text Amendment: South of loth Street Holding Districts
Chairman Ptacek gave a background of the rezoning process. Public input was already
taken on the Comprehensive Plan and that would not be up for discussion as a part of the
meeting. The meeting would be for any comments on the rezoning districts or the zoning
map.
Senior Planner Gozola introduced four new zoning districts: Village Residential —
Agriculture (VR-A), Village Residential — General Business (VR-GB), Village
Residential — One Family Residential (VR-R1), and Village Residential — Rural
Residential (VR-RR). The holding districts would restrict development of the parcels
until sewer is available to the properties and as identified by the Staging Plan within the
Comprehensive Plan. The holding district would restrict the ability of the property to
subdivide. The minimum lot size in the holding district is 40 acres in VR-A and 20 acres
in VR-GB, VR-R1, and VR-RR. He stated that those areas guided for village residential
in the Comprehensive Plan are those proposed for rezoning into the holding districts.
(McGinnis arrived 7:06 p.m.)
Senior Planner Gozola stated that the format of the proposed districts is relatively close to
that of what is currently in the code.
THE CHAIRMAN OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:13 P.M.
Warren Schmidt, 3240 Lake Elmo Avenue
Mr. Schmidt asked if all of the parcels were being rezoned. There are six to eight acre
parcels near the airport being rezoned. He asked if there are any tax consequences at this
time.
Senior Planner Gozola said that all the parcels in color on the map as shown in the packet
are being rezoned. The only difference would be the development options at this time.
(Pelletier arrived 7:16 p.m.)
THE CHAIRMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:16 P.M.
