!,,!ARK WOODING - DISCUSSION ON POSSIBLE REZONING
Mr. Wooding, son-in-law of Ella Caruth, discussed the rezoning of 40A
from Industrial to Conservancy to accommodate a single family residence.
A 3A parcel had been recorded in error, and that acreage would be in-
corporated into the two 20A parcels, when divided. Their residence
would use the existing well and septic system located on the 3 acres.
The 40 acres is bordered by Industrial to the east and Cons to the west.

It was the general concensus of the Planning Commission that they did
not object to the rezoning because the land is relatively low and not
suitable to many on—site septic systems.
Motion made by Hanson, Fashingbauer seconded, to schedule a public
hearing for April 139 1983, at 7:30 PM, to consider the request of
Ella Caruth to rezone 40 acres from Industrial to Conservancy.
Legal description as follows: The NE- of the SW',-, of Section 8, T31N9
R21W, Washington County, Minnesota.
All aye. Motion Carried.
Mr. blooding was provided with an application for rezoning, and informed
that Ella Caruth would have to sign it. They were also informed that
it was their responsibility to provide the city with the names of all
property owners within 300' of the parcel to be rezoned, and that proof—
of—ownership will also be required.
SAFFJAY HOUSE MOVERS — DISCUSSION OF AMENDED SUP AND MINOR SUBD.
what
Mrs. Sempel was present to ask/would be needed for Safeway to sell
a parcel of land within their 20 acres. Mrs. Sempel was informed that
she would be required to amend Safeway's Special Use Permit and to
make application for a Minor Subdivision. The Sempel's have been
requested to appear before the City Council at their meeting of April 4
to discuss their plans for the land and the business. Mrs. Sempel
then inquired about the possibility of using a 10 x 50 trailer for
watchman quarters. This would exceed the requirement by 100 sq. ft.
It was not clear whether a variance could be granted or if an ordinance
change was needed. Hanson stated that it did not appear the Planning
Commission had any immediate objection to the sale or slitting of a
parcel of property in the northwest corner of the Safeway property,
but does want to reaffirm our stand that a comprehensive plan be
intact for use of the property, as outlined in 320-4, Subd. L. If
a variance to the watchman quarters requirement can be granted, we
feel leniency should possibly be considered in this case since we
have control with a 3 month renewal to terminate the permit.
ANDREW ISTVAP?OVICH — POSSIBLE REZONING
Members of the Planning Commission made an on—site inspection of the
property to determine the possibility of rezoning the 10 acres from
AG to RRII. Because it was the general concensus of the Planning
Commission that rezoning would create "spot zoning", and it appeared
that the 300' road frontage could not be met, the secretary was directed
to write Mr. Istvanovich at his home in Grand Rapids stating the rea—
sons they did not feel the rezoning would be appropriate. However, he
still has the option of submitting an application and going through
the normal channels for rezoning.
Motion made by Fashingbauer, Potts seconded, to adjourn at 10:01 PM.
All aye. Motion Carried.
