TH 12 & 212 were recently designated Urban Highways. Consequently, there are no state funds for sign removal. There are to be no signs on rural and agriculture land. Altho the state may grant a permit it may be denied at the local level. Presently, in Lake Elmo, there are 13 signs on agriculture land on TIT 36. If there is no permit issued by the village these signs are considered to be in violation. IIAASE: According to the City Zoning Map the Haase Property lies half in, to the west, and half out, to the east, of the General Business Zone.

Present zoning does not permit such a split, COUNCIL vs. PZC-Ebertz Rezoning: Don Raleigh outlined the reasons the council granted re- zoning of the Ebertz land. It was felt, by the Council there were 3 alternatives: 1. grant the rezoning; 2. deny the rezoning; 3. return the issue to the PZC. It was felt there was no'reason to deny the rezoning since the planner concurred and the land lay in the proper zone. The PZC's reasons to deny spoke for specific use of land, not rezoning. It was felt the specific use can be handled at the time the applicant comes in for plat approval. Lundquist felt applicant didn't asic for commercial rezoning as referred. to in Attorney Lammers Memorandum to the PZC and the General Business zoning was quite broad. Comments on the matter were: Before such matters were handled by a Special Use Permit, but are now 'covered by rezoning. Mix use should be more specific and define standards. Write a special ordinance in form of Special Use Permit for all business that goes in on 12. Expand the list of special uses. It was felt some of the use in General Business were un- MINUTES OF PLANNING --ZONING COMMISSION, MARCH 9, 1976 -- page 2 EBERTZ REZONING cont'd: desirable and should be removed from the list and included' in the special use area. Also define type of acceptable warehouses. Raleigh --There are two levels of consideration in rezoning: 1. Any reason in our plan or -ordinances -,for denial. 2. Is ordinance or regulation reasonable. Mayor Eder suggested a meeting of a council member, a pzc member- and the counselor to get together and discuss applications that come in. If there are problems then call planner in. The Council clid have concern about rezoning the Fbertz Property. It was felt,though all the requirements were met and there were no strong reasons to deny the request. . DEMONTREVILLE HIGHLANDS: Reference to the 1-30-76 letter of Barbara Senness, answers why the Council gave their -preliminary approval.

MIDWEST PLANNING: Dave Licht suggested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan regarding the 3M plan. Ctace stated such an amendment has been proposed. MINUTES: Corrections to the Feb. 23 minutes: Number 6 of the denial of the Ebertz Property should read General Business is not necessarily consistant with Mixed Use indicated on the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
