Mounds View Planning Commission November 18, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />B. SP169-09: Rezoning of 3 residential properties from R-2, Single & Two <br />Family to R-1 Single Family. (2760 Wooddale Drive, 7301 Park View Drive, <br />and 7441 Park View Drive) <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated this proposed rezoning has been initiated by staff after <br />completing the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. She indicated in reviewing the land use and zoning <br />maps, it was discovered that there are three residential properties in the city that currently have <br />an R-2, Single and Two Family Residential zoning designation, even though single family homes <br />were built on these lots and the owners continue to use them as single family homes. The <br />Comprehensive Plan designates these three properties, along with all of the surrounding <br />properties, as low density residential. The properties are all located in neighborhoods that the <br />City has zoned entirely R-1, Single Family Residential. She indicated that in order to have these <br />properties’ zoning be consistent with their actual use and with the Comprehensive Plan, staff is <br />proposing to rezone them to R-1. Currently with the R-2 zoning, any of these properties could <br />legally convert into a duplex, and rezoning the properties to R-1 would prevent any future use <br />changes.. She indicated letters were sent to the property owners notifying them of the rezoning <br />proposal and staff had not heard from any of the homeowners. She indicated the property values <br />should not be impacted. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Chair Walsh-Kaczmarek/Commissioner Lang. Resolution 914-09 <br />Recommending Approval of Rezoning 7301 Park View Drive, 7441 Park View Terrace and <br />2760 Woodale Drive from R-2, Single & Two-Family Residential to R-1, Single-Family <br />Residential. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Review Planning Commission Applications <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated there are three Planning Commission members’ terms up at the <br />end of this year. She indicated the City advertised for the vacancies with applications due on <br />October 30, 2009. Staff received four applications. They are Keith Cramblit, Paul Schiltgen, <br />Holly Smith and Julianne Love. She indicated two of the applicants were here this evening. <br /> <br />Paul Schiltgren, applicant, indicated that he had applied for the Planning Commission last year. <br />He stated he has resided in Mounds View for 2 ½ years and would like to get more involved in <br />the community. He stated he felt he could contribute a lot to the Planning Commission. He <br />indicated he works with municipalities in his current job and felt this would help him with the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson questioned his occupation and wondered if he traveled a lot.
