City Planner Dillerud M/S/P Sessing/Helwig — to move the Planning Commission portion of the agenda before the MAC/PZ portions because this application would be of shorter duration.

MINUTES: February 11, 2002 M/S/P Sessing/Armstrong — to approve the February 11, 2002 Planning Commission Minutes, as amended. (Motion passed 7-0). 3. PUBLIC HEARING: Daniel Rude, 3250 Kraft Circle Variance to Minimum Lot Size R-1 Zoning Daniel Rude has requested City reconsideration of the zoning code variance application based on an enlarged site area. Planner Dillerud agreed to present this modified application to the Commission/Council as an amendment to the earlier application. The two major differences between the applicant's 2001 variance application, and that which is now before the Commission: 1. The area of the land parcel for which a variance from the R-1 lot area standard is requested. 2. An increased site area over which drain fields for a private wastewater system are possible making the ability to prove area for those two drain fields probable. Planner Dillerud pointed out the City code has been amended as to Zoning Variance process since the 2002 consideration of this application. Based on the present Code procedures, the Planning Commission conducts the public hearing, and adopts a recommendation to the Council, rather than render a decision. The necessity for Findings in support of the recommendation remains. Dan Rude provided a memo, dated March 11, which is made part of these minutes, supporting his variance application. Chairman Armstrong opened up the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. There was no one to speak for or against the Variance requested. Chairman Armstrong closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. Commissioner Deziel agreed with Mr. Rude in the analysis of his variance application in the content of the variances approved for Carlone lots in Tablyn Park. Commissioner Deziel stated that he would recommend approval of the variance request contingent upon the sale that there is testing of soils required as in the Carlone minor subdivision/variance. Commissioner Bunn asked if this 12,000 sq.ft. lot would accommodate a home and sewer system. The Planner responded that the City Engineer had previously advised the Commission that the 12,000 sq.ft. would likely not be significant area. Commissioner Helwig said he thought the key issue is whether the City is seriously selling or not; and, when did the RI zoning code change? He asked that these items be tabled until they get these questions answered. Council member Sessing suggested asking the City Engineer, Tom Prew, how many sq.ft. would be needed to handle two conventional septic systems in the RI zoning. M/S/P Helwig/Sessing — to ask the staff to bring back answers to the March 25 PZ meeting to when the R1 zoning code changed from requiring 1 acre tol '/z acres and ask Tom Prew how many sq.ft. is needed to handle two conventional septic systems in this area and soils. (Motion passed 5-2:Deziel, Bunn) Mr. Rude indicated the soils perked at the Steve Peterson property which is 200 ft away. A 20 x 80 `ft drain field was installed for a 3 Bedroom house.
