Present for roll call: Miedtke, Haik, Stauffer, Sundland. Absent: Sauer Also present: Jerry Dulgar, City Manager Jim Fornell, Adm. Asst. Mayor Miedtke explained that the purpose of the meeting was to have the third reading of the proposed zoning ordinance, make any changes deemed necessary and if possible take a vote on the adoption of the ordinance. He could.not guarantee any action would be taken on Mr. Hedlund's request for a public hearing on a proposed P.U.D. Councilman Sauer arrived at 7:45 P.M. The Council discussed several areas of concern in the zoning ordinance: power transmission towers and their being subject to height restrictions, voting for radio transmission tower permits, traffic visibility regulations, maximum density and maximum structure height in PUD's, the amount of commercial land use permissible in a P.U.D. , the amount of performance bonds for P.U.D.'s, driveways next to property lienes and the "Purpose" statement contained in several sections. Changes were to be incorporated into the final, adopted draft. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to adopt Ordinance 1976-006,as modified. ORDINANCE NO. 1976-006 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO ZONING; AMENDING SECTION 300 OF THE 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gordon Hedlund,1255 Pike Lake Drive, New Brighton, presented his proposal for a P.U.D. on Silver Lake Road between 39th Avenue N.E. and Silver Lane. He wanted the City Council to schedule a public hearing on the proposal as soon as possible. Mayor Miedtke raised the question about the need for variances if Mr. Hedlund's proposal were to be approved. He felt, however, that the comprehensive planning required by the P.U.D. was a positive element. Councilman Sundland was concerned about what would happen to the Pg. 2 land on which the retirement home is to be constructed if financing and/or a developer for the home is not obtained. He indicated the only use proposed in the P.U.D. that he didn't particularly care for was the Country Kitchen Restaurant. Councilman Haik felt that the proposal was not particularly unique and did not seem to fit the intent of the P.U.D. section of the zoning ordinance in trying to foster creative land use. Councilman Stauffer felt that some of the uses proposed in the P.U.D. were acceptable to her and felt that some compromise was probably in order. Councilman Haik left the meeting at 9:35 P.M. After discussion on the merits of Mr. Hedlunds P.U.D. proposal and request for a public hearing, the following motion was made: Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Sundland to direct the Planning Board to hold a public hearing on the proposed Hedlund P.U.D on August 31st. Motion carried. Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Sauer to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:40 P.M. ATTEST:&,i Clerk
