Rezoning Request (Forest La�---.e State Bank) A public hearing was held at 7:05PM, January 27, 1988 to consider the petition from the Forest Lake State Bank to rezone an 8.9 acre tract of land from Agriculture to Retail Business. The property in question is located at the northeast corner of Highway 61 and 170th St. and generally described as follows; A part of the SE 1/4 of Section 5, T31N, R21W (see enclosed legal description). There was no one from the public to comment on this rezoning. This request was heard by the Planning Commission in January of 1987. The request was denied because the commission did not see a need for additional commercial property,it is too close to residential property and that there is no buffer zone between the zoning districts. The property contains approximately 308 feet of frontage on U.S. Highway 61 and approximately 571 ft. of frontage on 170th St. No. The property abutts agricultural zones on the east, west, and south. The zoning districts to the north are agricultural and retail business. Mr. Paul Wolff representing the Forest Lake State has indicated that there is no specific proposal for development on this parcel of land and the bank is taking a position that the highest and best use for this property would be retail business. The uses permitted in the RB District consist of offices, business schools, medical uses, photographer studios, retail florist, beauty and barber shops, libraries, urban agriculture, and retail shopping. Special Uses permitted in an RB Zone can be found in the zoning ordinance 310-4 Subd. J, 3. The proposed rezoning to RB appears to be somewhat consistent with other developments and districts to the north of the property in question. The uses currently permitted on this site can be found in 320-4, Subd. C-1,2,3, of the zoning regulations. Hearing notices were sent to adjoining property owners and the proper legal notice was published in the Forest Lake Times.
