Planning Commission Minutes June 24, 1987 page 4 Schuh - continued 9. Locked gate at the Irish Ave. entrance. 10. Fencing and posting at the north side of the gravel pit. All aye, motion passed. There was some discussion regarding the comprehensive land use map. Mr. Blanchard confirmed that the commission has basically followed the general plan outlined by Administrator Huber. It was confirmed that much of the old plan can be used to save time and expense. Mr. Huber informed the members that Washington County and Metro Council is willing to review the plan at some future date when nearer completion. The commissioners reviewed the questionaire presented to them by Administrator Huber as to there pref- erences for the new map. It was determined that the old plan should be used as much as possible and some consideration for neighboring communities and their land use should be considered. More development for commercial areas along Highway 61 and County 8 (Frenchman Rd.) would be desireable but no further Industrial development. It was determined that the area,a reasonable distance from the metro sewer line,should be developed into lots 5 acres and less and that the C and A districts should be eliminated and called rural ranch district of 10 to 20 acres, and large lot residential areas of 5 to 10 acres designated. The future park sites and the water tower locations should be eliminated until a location and need is determined. An urban residential district (10,400 sq. ft. to one acre) and areas for mul- tiple family dwellings should be established. They commission does not want the flood plain area shown, and they did feel the engineer should review the need for any new roads. There has been a tentative meeting date set for July 15, 1987, 7:OOPM. If the agenda for the July 22 meeting appears to be light the meeting for re- viewing the comp map will be postponed until that date. All members will be contacted regarding the meeting date. Olson made motion, seconded by Jesinski to adjourn at 9:07PM. Carole LaBelle, Secretary Hugo PLanning Commission
