Planning Commission Meeting April 25, 2002- page 2 <br />Home Occupations <br />The Planning Commission continued discussion on the draft home occupation ordinance. <br />Specifically discussed were different types of home occupations and the how to treat existing legal <br />nonconforming businesses. It was suggested that existing business could be given the option of <br />being grandfathered in, which would not allow for changes or expansions to the current operation, <br />or if they wished to expand, they could do so under an interim use permit. The Commission also <br />requested that staff prepare separate ordinances for home based businesses and home occupations. <br />Schumann made motion, Peltier seconded, to direct staff to prepare a progress report for the <br />Council, and provide suggestions on how to recognize existing business and bring it back to the <br />Commission for further discussion. <br />Buffer Yards <br />The Planning Commission continued discussion on buffer yards and reviewed the draft ordinance <br />provided to the Commission. The Commission discussed what would be considered adequate <br />buffer yards and option to reduce it should berming and screening is installed. <br />John Udsten, 15190 Everton Avenue North, said people with ten acre parcels do farm their land <br />and should be protected with a 50 -foot buffer yard setback as well as berming and landscaping <br />where development encroaches upon agricultural uses. <br />Arnie Treimert, 15220 Everton Avenue North, agreed with Mr. Udsten, and cited occasions where <br />residential development had conflicted with the agricultural use of property. <br />Ann Thompson, 13755 Elmcrest Avenue North, described her property as a "kid magnet" and was <br />worried about residential development abutting her property without having adequate buffering. <br />Malaski made motion, Kleissler seconded, to provide the Council and updated on the buffer yard <br />ordinance and schedule a public hearing on it. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Bald Eagle Industrial Park <br />The Community Development Director discussed with the Planning Commission the Bald Eagle <br />Industrial Park and the lack of developable land available within the City for industrial use. With <br />money still owed on the bonds, the City would need to refinance the bonds if the property is not <br />sold in the next year. <br />The Commission discussed subdividing the parcel owned by the City in order to make the <br />property more marketable. It was also suggested that the owner of the property to the east, <br />Minnesota Pipeline Company, be approached to see if they would sell a portion of their property <br />to allow the parcels to be squared up, which would make the land more attractive and feasible. <br />
