Present: Enes, DeLapp, Bucheck, Stevens, Dick Johnson, Haacke, and Administrator Morrison. Absent: Dave Johnson, John, Johnston, Conlin. 1. AGENDA Add: 5. Groundwater Management Plan M/S/P Bucheck/DeLapp - to approve the September 25, 1989 Planning Commission agenda as amended. (Motion carried 6-0). 2. MINUTES: September 11, 1989 M/S/P DeLapp/Bucheck - to approve the September 11, 1989 Planning Commission Mintues as amended. (Motion carried 3-3-0: Abstain: Johnson, Stevens, Haacke). 3. Amended Concept Plan for Large -Lot Subdivision Will Stenzel/George Krueger Administrator Morrison explained Will Stenzel had changed his previous proposal of three lots with variances because he met objection by the Planning Commission. Morrison added, Mr. Stenzel came into the office and requested his proposal for two lots be reheard by the PZ and a hearing be set for a two -Lot, Large Lot Subdivision. The same variances are required as were required for the 3-lot, Large Lot Subdivision. George Krueger was in the audience and indicated he had not heard from Mr. Stenzel since the last PZ meeting. Steve DeLapp pointed out the staff indicated in the coversheet they had learned the applicant proposed to store his equipment from a construction business in a pole building on the lot on which he builds his home. Under Accessory Uses in Rural Residential Zoning, unless a construction company is an allowed use, a storage building for construction materials would be subordinate and incidential to allowed uses and structures. Dick Johnson did not believe the Commission should be granting multiple lots on a single driveway which creates more problems for the City and encourages the applicant to seek putting in a city street which would be a cul-de-sac which would be too long. Dick didn't feel an auxiliary building created a problem as long as the building is of the square footage allowed for accessory buildings. Just because the equipment is part of this business, Dick indicated, there is nothing stating you cannot bring your tools of your trade home with you and put them in a storage building. The Public Hearing is scheduled for October 9, 1989 before the Planning Commission. LAKE ELMO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES SEPTEMBER 25, 1989 PAGE 2 4. Building Request at Oakwood Animal Hospital: Dr. Ray Swanson The City has received an application from Dr. Raymond and Carol Swanson for an amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit. The property, legally described, in part, as that part of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 16, Township 29 North, Range 21 West of the 4th Principal Meridan, and is commonly known as Oakwood Animal Hospital, 8611 34th Street N., Lake Elmo. The applicants propose to construct a 90' x 40' (3600 sq.ft.) utility building for the purpose of storing equipment and supplies for his Animal Hospital, the Animal Inn Training Center and the Animal Inn Dog Kennel. The staff indicated in the coversheet all of these businesses operate under separate Conditional Use Permits, and are in the Agricultural Zoning District. Even though the total acres for all three CUP's is approximately 24 acres, it appears that the City gave this zoning district to Dr. Swanson to accomodate his existing use at the time the 1979 Municipal Code was adopted. It was noted there are no conditions in any of these CUP's that limit the number of buildings and/or accessory structures and there is no limit to the number or size of accessory structure in the Ag Zoning District. Steve DeLapp pointed out there were no conditions listed in this CUP; therefore, it would be nonsensical for the Commission to review this CUP. The commission noticedan error in the CUP, being the crematorium was located on the parcel owned by his wife (2552) and not on the parcel designated in the CUP. Dr. Swanson indicated he had notified the City of the crematorium, but somehow this parcel was overlooked when the splitting of the CUP was granted. The CUP will have to be amended to incorporate the second parcel (Parcel 2552) having the crematorium and storage building. The Commission suggested Dr. Swanson and the other businesses, operating under separate CUP's, come in with their long range plans. Dick Johnson voiced his concern on the cloud of emission from the crematorium passing over Hi b .ag . Swanson responded they do have a permit and have been inspecf, OB$OTO Y;nghree times by the MPCA, with no noted violations. Dick suggested an informational hearing be held for property owners within 350 feet even if the CUP does not need to be amended. M/S/P Stevens/Johnson - to recommend the staff be directed to amend the existing CUP For Ray Swanson in Ag Zoning to include the crematorium and proposed storage building on Parcel 2552 before the Public Hearing is held on October 23, 1989. (Motion carried 6-0). 5. OTHER: Groundwater Management Committee: to the City Council The Planning Commission recommended4David Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue N., be appointed as the City's representative to the Washington County Groundwater Management Committee. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson - to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting at 9:40 p.m. (Motion carried 6-0).
