PARRANTO PLAT APPEAL FROM MORATORIUMS Mr, Parranto reviewed a letter sent to him by the City Administrator, indicating the necessary items to be completed. before the Washington 37 plat can be considered for appeal or preliminary approval. Mr. Parranto stated items 2 thru 7 can be completed by the next meeting and that the Highway Department is satisfied with the re- vision presented. He will secure a letter stating the lots in the flood plain are in agreement, also he will get a letter from Cimarron stating sewer is not available. The City Administrator stated in his letter to Parranto that the Dayton Hudson property did not have a formal plan considered. Mr. Parranto says he does have correspondence indicating that approval was given. He will forward this to Mr.. Whittaker. He again, expressed his desire that Dayton Hudson property not be covered under the moratorium. Mr. I]nmett Albergotti, Daytdn Hudson representative, was in attendance to voice the feelings of the corporation. The.Dayton'Hudson commercial venture is no longer active. They are presently trying to market vacant land. Mr. Albergotti indicated that D-H would like the to see the pro- perty left in the same type of open arrangement. He also stated that he could see no harm, as far as Dayton Hudson is concerned, in the six month moratorium. He is unaware of what Mr. Parranto'a buyer has in mind for the property use. Dayton Hudson does not intend to break the property down into small parcels and requests the City consider the property for some type of development, MIDLAND MEADOWS AND BEUTEL ADDITION: Since both of these plats request a change in the land use, Bruce Folz has requested the City Council and the PZC that he be able to work with them during the moratorium on the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map, Chairman Grace suggested he stay for'the presentation of the'Planner on the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Folz also questioned the status of the three minor subdivisions he has before the City. These should be processed as usual since approval has been given. JOINT PZC/COUNCIL MEETING: 8:15 the Council joined the PZC for review and discussion of the proposed Comprehensive Plan. All Councilmen were in attendance. Also City Administrator Whittaker and Building Inspector Iluegel Rob Chelseth presented the latest revisions and reviewed the proposed map. Discussion of the map included the question of whether the 3M office park should be included. Since no action has been forthcoming it was suggested this area should go into the Ag Zone until 3M is more definate on their time -table. PLANNING AND ZONING COMNI.SSION MINUTES MARCH 12, 1979 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN — Cont'd The question of what the use of that area is desired to be, if 3M should not put in the office park was discussed. Is this proposed use to be our ultimate use? Councilman Morgan stated the map is to show projected long range, 10 yr., planning and feels the kg Zoning is too vague. If not an office park then what is desirable? Highway Corridors should be more detailed. Should single family housing, even on large parcels be allowed within n mile of these corridors? It was suggested a rural use be put between 212 and the tracks. These rural uses will be elaborated on at a later time. Ube map areas are determined by the Land Use Alternatives. The alternative the City chooses will determine amount of growth and the areas desired for it. Alternate 2, the planner felt, may beat suit the needs and desires of Lake Elmo. The map he presented showed present uses and also projected uses. Some changes will be made, based do this mee.tings.disoussion, but basic agreement seemed to be reached. The March 26 meeting will include recommendation on the land use plan, final amendments to the draft Zoning Ordinance, and guidelines for public -improvements.
