Planning and Zoning August 19, 1981 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairman Doocy at g;30 P.M. Members present; Swistoski, Klaus, Prokop. Absent; Johnson. MINUTES - July 22, 1981 Mr. Prokop , page three, 'Southeast' should be changed to 'Southwest" Mr. Prokop moved to approve as corrected, Seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher's Report Mr. Schumacher said there is one item that this Board should be aware of - this is Ordinance #84, passed by the Council at their last meeting. This sets a moratorium on all platting outside the sewer area districts until the Comprehensive Plan is approved. There was discussion on the relationship of this Ordinance to Ordinance #78. One puts a moratorium on dividing large pacels of lands by metes and bounds - Ordinance #84 puts a moratorium on platting of lands into lots and blocks until the Comprehensive Plan is finalized. Mr. Doocy had a question on whether the City is requiring Class 5 or Limestone for dust free surfaces - Mr. Schumacher felt this is a Council decision and the limestone provides a more stable base. Mr. Schumacher answered the Commission's concerns on the follow up of Special Use Permits - any stipulations imposed on a Special Use Permit is given to the Building Inspector to make sure the stipulations are adhered to as ordered. VARIANCE - ANDREW CARDINAL Mr. Cardinal is requesting a variance to Ord. #78 to split a parcel of land from his farm to give to his daughter to build a house. This parcel is being split from a 40 acre parcel. The certificate of survey as presented at this meeting is for 22 acres, but Mr. Cardinal indicated that this would be a waste of good farm land since one acre is all that is needed to provide space for a single family dwelling. He asked that this variance be considered in that light. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that under the Comprehensive Plan this area is classified as Rural and the size of the lot is not important - the density is the important factor. He felt that with the acreage repre- sented by Mr. Cardinal, he did not feel there was any problems in allowing the split of one acre. Mr. Doocy asked Mr. Cardinal if he would agree that he would do absolutel no more subdividing and Mr. Cardinal said, Absolutely. He will not sell any more of his land. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend approval of this variance with the follow- ing change 1) that the parcel to be split be reduced to one acre, 2) that a correct survey be presented before the next Council meeting. Seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Motion carried unanimously.
