(GILLEN ARRIVED AT 8:04 PM) FRED BENSON — SUBDIVISION (Discussion onl Mr. Hagerty, Benson's attorney, was present, and stated that Benson Kennels have had a problem obtaining financing so they are interested in the sale of a portion of the land to help remedy the problem. Mr. Jensen, Suburban Engineering, submitted a site plan of the proposed division of the land. The thought is to attempt to sell off some parcel s that would not damage the ability of the kennel to function. The nese proposed location would be set in a more favorable location in regard to adjoining property owners. The 2.5 acre exception on the plan is tentatively going to be sold to an adjoining property owner. The plan also included 3 five acre lots on the southwest corner of the property. A rezoning would be required (AG to RRII). Five acre lots are being requested because of the layout of the land. The land south is presently zoned RRII. Lots A, B, C, D, E. and F meet the minimum acreage requirements and have 300' frontage on a road. Mr. Benson will be required to fill out an application for Amended Special Use Permit and Rezoning.

Drainage wi4ll,,be provided as park is developed. McAllister stated they were trying to trealevelopment like a residential development, and he questioned whether the ordinance should be changed. He felt that as the city goes through each phase of development, some financial guarantees should be provided for the cost of the streets. Peloquin stated that the following lots could not be developed at this time because of impassable perc tests: Lot 2 of Block 2, Lots 8 & 9, Block 1, and Lots 6 & 7, Block 3. He would wait to develop these lots when city sewer is extended. The first phase for mad construction would be the completion of Fur Avenue (gravel) from 152nd Street south to 151st Street. The second phase would be Fur Avenue from 152nd Street to 153rd Street. McAllister suggested that the Commission meet with the land owners in the park to discuss their long range goals. Peloquin reconsidered his statement relating to phase development of Fur Avenue, and stated that it could be completed in its entirety this year (151st Street to 153rd Street). Motion made by McAllister to table the matter until the next Planning Commission meeting. Motion failed for lack of second.
