City Administrator, Robert Museus Deputy Clerk, Michele Lindau ABSENT: Malaski, Peltier, Schumann Minutes of September 22, 1999 Kleissler made motion, Puleo seconded, to approve the Planning Commission minutes for the meeting of September 22, 1999, as submitted. All Ayes. Motion carried. Conditional Use Permit (Neamy) Scott and Lea Ann Neamy, 17220 Keystone Ave. N., applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a children's day camp and petting zoo at their property at the above address. The purpose of the permit was to establish the extent of the lawful non- conforming use of the property. The Planning Commission previously tabled consideration of the application on two occasions at the request of the property owner. Attorney Fredrick Knaak, representing the Neamy's, addressed concerns they had regarding the draft Conditional Use Permit as prepared by staff. He stated they felt the hours of operation and the numbers on maximum attendance were too restrictive, the sunset clause was unnecessary and would prevent them passing the business on to their children, and the traffic growth on Keystone Avenue was not due to their business activities. The Planning Commission had concerns regarding the wording on some of the conditions of the draft Special Use Permit. They felt there should be clarification on adequate sanitary facilities, the hours of operation and number of people using the mini -golf facility should be specified, and parking and dust control issues should be addressed. The Planning Commission also recommended amending the condition regarding the expiration of the permit to allow the Neamy's to transfer the ownership of the Special Use Permit to their immediate descendants. Robyn Bachmeier, 17191 Keystone Avenue, stated she was bothered by the increased traffic, littering, and wandering of Neamy's guests onto her property. Kellison felt the permit should be reworded in a way to ensure they would not be able to expand or enlarge their present operation. The Neamy's requested the Planning Commission table the issue to allow the permit to be amended. Puleo made motion, Kellison seconded, to table consideration of the Neamy's request until the November meeting to allow staff to amend the Special Use Permit and the Planning Commission to review to it. All Ayes. Motion carried. Rezone (Neeser and Peltier) Jerry and Dorothy Neeser, 15815 Elmcrest Ave. N., requested to rezone approximately 124 acres of property they own from Agricultural to Urban Residential. The property is part of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 18. Mrs. Martha Peltier, 15367 Everton Ave. N., also applied to rezone approximately 100 acres of property she owns from Agricultural to Urban Residential. The property is located in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 18. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on both requests at their regular meeting of July 28, 1999, and had tabled action pending a public planning workshop for the area, which was conducted on September 9 and continued on September 23, 1999.
