PLAN — lst DRAFT: Rob Chelsetti Planner
Review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Revision included the sug-
gested zoning distr1666. Prime Ag land would fall under Class I, II &
III. Class I & II would be comprised of One lotoper 40 acres, and Class
III, 5 lots for 1F0 acres. A non —sewer, Residential District may contain
1 to 2i acre lots. An Urban Residential Area, eg. Cimarron is proposed
for Section 32.
Reactions from the PZC included the changing of the Residential heading,
also density is to be defined. What is the feasibility of local sewage
treatment plants in problem areas? This as opposed to the 'big pipe'.
It was suggested that a termination date be included on plat rezonings.
Mr. Chelseth will meet with the PZC within a month to continue this re—
view.
MEETINGS: The PZC meetings will now be held on the seoond and fourth Mondays of
each month.
WALTER PECHAN: Application for Variance — requesting easement to property off private
driveway.
Mr. Peahens property and drive lies south of Keats and 47th,. Due to the
length of his present driveway, imile, the PZC is opposed to grant such
a variance. The proposed new drive is also undesirable; it is proposed
between two property lines. It would be more logical to place it on
what is designated 45th or 46th Street. It was suggested that the
driveway to the Peohan and Hartman homes could be upgraded to minimum
rural standards, this is about the only way this variance could be
considered.
Motion by Michels, Seconded by Dreher, to recommend denial for the
Variance request, a.s stated. Dreher's objection being)this id to be
a driveway, off a driveway with neither property having the required
frontage on a public street. Motion carried 6-0 Crombie and Moris
abstained.
This item to go on the March 6, 1979 Council Agenda.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES —2— FEBRUARY 26, 1979
PARRANTO PILE: Status of pending application
Mr. Pete Parranto appeared before the PZC to clarify the status of
the Washington 37 proposed plat. It was explained that Preliminary
Plat approval had not been given, Concept Approval was received
contingent upon receipt of reports from the Engineer, Planner and
Park Board. To date, the PZC does not have the requested material
in the file. Mr. Parranto indicated that in 1975 he received ap—
proval for a more densely populated plat on the same property. He
requested the PZO give him preliminary approval on the plat before
the commission now, since a previous PUD had been approved. The
PZO had no information on any previous approval before them.
It was suggested Mr. Parranto return to the next PZC meeting when
the commission can review what was previously done. Also questioned
was the PUB issued for the Dayton Hudson. property. Nit. Parranto
stated that new owners are planning to use the property for single
family, is that PUB still in effeot. He feels it is. These matters
to be taken up at next meeting.
