AYES: Schumann, Harrison, Puleo ABSTAIN: Malaski Motion Carried Builders Association Video Presentation The Builders Association of the Twin Cities had requested approximately ten minutes of the Planning Commission's time to show a video on the dwindling land supply in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, and its impact on affordable housing. Due to a miscommunication between staff, a VCR was not available to show the video. A representative of the Builders Association left a brochure and copy of the video for the Planning Commission to watch, and explained the Association's concern for the limited supply of affordable housing. Minor Subdivision (Tim and Karen Nelson) Tim and Karen Nelson, 7605 128th St. N, requested a minor subdivision of their property at the above address. The property is zoned a mix of Agricultural and RR2, consisting of 26.9 acres. One proposed lot is to consist of 20 acres, and the second lot, approximately 6.9 acres. The septic site had been approved on parcel B. Parcel A consists of the existing home on the site. The Nelsons had approached the Planning Commission in March with two concept plans. Since then, they created a new plan under the recommendations of the Planning Commission and Dale Hebiesen, surveyor for Hult and Associates. Schumann asked for public comments, and there was none. Harrison asked if someone could, in the future, divide the 20 acre parcel into two lots. The City Administrator responed, saying probably yes. Schumann stated that due to the layout of the land, it would require another access other than the present road, but this could be done under the current Zoning Ordinance. Puleo asked the City Administrator what the parkland dedication fee would be, since it had been increased after they first made application. Nelson asked if they would consider charging the old fee of $500. The City Administrator explained that the new ordinance is in effect from the time the City Council approves it, and it is published in the City's official newspaper, therefore, the new fee of $1,350 would be charged. Puleo made motion, Harrison seconded, to approve the minor subdivision for Tim and Karen Nelson All AYES. Motion carried. Special Use Permit (Bruggeman) Jim and Brenda Bruggeman, 5259 125th St. N., had requested a Special Use Permit to construct a 24' X 36' wood framed horse building with a 20' X 15' attached lean-to on their property at the above address. An existing 40' X 90' barn is located on the site where a 3,600 square foot accessory building is allowed
