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. Pere tests will be also be
required for the rezoning request.
Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Gillen, to place Benson Kennel on the agenda for
other than discussion purposes.

Use Permit in the SFE zone. Mr. Tavernier stated that he maintains 10 boats, and would
provide Satellites in the area. Greger stated that in previous years neighbors have
complained about the parking facilities and a Special Use Permit would give the city

MOTION CARRIED
LAWRENCE JASINSKI — REZONING
Mr. Jasinski would like to sell a 5 acre tract of land on the south end of his farm.
After much discussion, the Commission could determine the exact boundaries of the pro—
perty. There is a possibility that part of the land is now under water (Horseshoe Lake).
The land is presently zoned Agriculture. In order to get to the 5 acre tract, Greystone
Avenue would have to be extended 601. Greystone is now deadend at Mr. Jasinski's
driveway.
Motion made by Gillen, seconded by McAllister, to table the request for rezoning until
Mr. Jasinski can provide a better picture of his property. Attorney Johnson and Engi—
neer Kuusisto requested to clarify the boundaries on reparian rights on Horseshoe Lake.
McAllister asked that the request include the question as to whether the lake itself
constitutes property as far as minimum zoning requirements. McAllister withdrew his
second. The motion was then seconded by Greger.

MOTION CARRIED
VERN PELOAUIN — SUBDMSION
A letter from Kuusisto's office was submitted relating to the above request. Tom
Fast, Kuusisto's representative, stated that along with the final plat there should
be incorporated a more detailed drainage plan showing center line of street elevations,
and contour lines showing drainage of lots, etc. McAllister asked Peloquin if he
intended to comply with the engineer's recommendations prior to the final plat, and
Peloquin stated that they will be done during phasing development. 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.
Motion made by Gillen, seconded by Greger, to recommend approval of the preliminary
plat for subdivision in the Peloquin Industrial Park, as presented, subject to re—
stricting the sale or development of lots in the Industrial Park that do not have
acceptable pert tests at this time, or unable to pert adequately at a future date, or
until future sewer and water is provided.
Gillen stated that blacktopping the streets will be considered at the time of final
plat approval. Greger asked if they were approving the use of gravel streets, and
Chairperson Peltier stated that they were onlyvthe preliminary plat.
