Pastor Hale noted that this is the first phase of a three phase project. In the last phase they will be joining the gymnasium with the existing building. They don't know how much of the acreage will be used during the entire process.

The property is 24 acres in size with 7 residential lots. It is currently zoned R-I, single family rural. The plat is outside of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and will be developed with individual wells and septic systems. The developer is responsible to obtain all necessary permits such as those required by the DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization or any other agency which may be interested in the site. A 60 foot variance is being requested for Lot I, Block I as the ) ,) ~~) , I I Regular Planning Commission Meeting April 8, 1997 - Minutes Page 3 required lot width is 300 feet. A variance is also being requested for the existing 30'x60' pole barn on Lot 2, Block 1 as it is closer to the front lot line than the principal structure. The ordinance also requires accessory structures located closer to the front lot line than the principal structure to be of similar design and exterior finish as the principal structure. The pole barn, as well as the existing detached garage on Lot 2, meet this provision.

Mr. Carlberg noted that it could extend if the turkey farm operation ceases and that property is developed. ) Chairman Peek questioned if this plat consists of one separate parceL Mr. Carlberg explaillcdthat it is two parcels and that there is one existing driveway that serves both. Commissioner Squires felt that if l68th Avenue is pushed 20 feet to the south the variances would not be required. Commissioner Apel didn't think that moving a road 20 feet would justify not having variances. Mr. Carlberg stated that they would check out the possibility of moving the road. MOTION by Leudtke, seconded by Gamache to open the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. No one in the audience offered any testimony regarding the plat.
