Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he was concerned with R -0 zoning and pointed out
that the only other community to use R -0 zoning was Crystal. He stated that he did
not like R -0 as while it is residential office, it is confusing with the rest of the
zone numbering system.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that the P.U.D. is new to both the City and the
developer and stated that he was concerned with the amount of flexibility allowed
after reading the ordinance, 40.21, subdivision B, and Mr. Aslanidis' letter. He
also questioned why Mr. Aslanidis went with R -0 zoning rather than R -4 and pointed out
that there are some conditional use permits that are allowed under R -0 and not R -4.
Mr. Beim replied that he could not say right now exactly how the area would be developed
and that it should be easier to change things under the P.U.D. and that he hopes he
will be able to come to the City with any problems that arise as the development
progresses.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that R -0 is indicated for a large portion of the
area along H2 and recommended that it be either R -3 or R -4. He also stated he was
concerned about the B -4 being adjacent to the trailer court and suggested that that
area be made into an R -0 zone instead, since a B -4 zoning could allow a 10 story
office building.
Mr. Aslanidis said that even if they did go with 10 stories, the setback requirements
would have to be met. He stated that he did not feel, however, that they would ever
put in a 10 story building.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he felt R -0 would be more favorable there than B -4.
He stated also that where the motel area is planned, it would fit under the B -3 zoning.
Mr. Beim stated that the feasibility study had indicated that the large buildings,
such as a motel and home office insurance building should be located on 35W where
they could be seen from the freeway.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that with a B zoning, a building 10 stories tall
could be allowed, whereas with R zoning, it could only be 3 stories maximum. Council -
member Baumgartner replied that due to the closeness of the Anoka County Airport,
a building of that height would not be allowed anyway.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he was not clear how the development stage worked.
Mr. Aslanidis said that during the development stage, which would follow the concept
stage, they would have more definite plans and that the final stage would involve getting
building permits for the various areas as they are going to be developed.
Mayor Pickar stated that once the concept plan is approved, the developer has nine
months to come back to the City with the street alignments and so forth and as much
detail as possible. They do not, however, have to have the final plans for each
area prepared.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked what control the City would have over the flexibility of
the development. Administrator Achen replied that it is the Staff's interpretation that
the development plan include the uses that are planned for and the areas that are not
planned for the Council would set the limits on what they would allow.
Mr. Aslanidis stated the development stage would be a specific as possible at that
time, and that the City would be assured of control. Administrator Achen pointed out
that there is a zoning classification called P.U.D. District.
