He 411 �c H �5 told the people present thatw� meeting is to discuss the proposed zoning ordinance and zoning districts. At this meeting only the NE Quadrant of the City will be discussed. Mr. Johnson informed the residents of the work that has been done by the Task Force noting that this is usually done by a Planning and Zoning Board or the City Council. However, this City put it in the hands of the Citizens of the City and these informatiNa1 meetings are to inform the residents of what has been proposed for the City. Mr. Johnson introduced Mr. Bill Short, City Planner and ask that he present the actions of the Task Force. Mr. Short gave background information as to why this is necessary. He then pointed out the areas of zoning on the district zoning map and listed the proposed uses for that area. The entire area is zoned R and requires 10 acres per home. Mr. Short noted some of the permitted uses of this area. Marty Bancroft - 24th Avenue - questioned the definition of a stables - does this mean a place for boarding or is a place where hors,=' are rented to ride trails? Y N ` ✓ Mr. Shorttthis hasn't been defined as yet but there is a need to make a distinction. 411 Mike Morseth - Will the current use of the land be allowed to continue - will that be grandfathered in? Mr. Short said, ;Yes, but there can be no intensification of the use and if the use ceased to exist for one year, it could not be resumed. Pat Stark - 20th Avenue North - asked about selling 5 acres to her daughter - can this be done. Mr. Short said the standard in that area is ten acres. Dorothy Perkins - Main Street - asked if the minimum is ten acres, why are new homes being constructed on smaller lots? Mr. Short said if the land is of record, it is a buildable lot. aC- Jim McGeary - W. Rondeau - asked about how many acres /'needed for live stock. He was told this would be controlled under the existing animal ordinance. Mr. McGeary felt that ten acres is too much for a home, would have one acre for the house and nine acres of weeds. How would this be untangled at the time sewers are installed? Mr. Short said at the time a ten acre parcel is split a subdivision would have to be filed designating where the home would be constructed and how the land would be split in the event of sewers. Earl Olson - 1210 Main Street - has 40 acres - wants to give each child one fourth of the land - how could they ever afford the assessments if IIIand when there is sewers. It was explained how the land would need to be subdivided and at the time there was a sewer proposal, the lots could be sold.
