PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT - FENCE WITH SECURITY ARM, 3118
162ND LANE NW, ACE SOLID WASTE
7:35 p.m. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the request by Ace Solid Waste, Inc.,
to construct a six-foot chain link fence with a one-foot barbed wire
security arm at 3118 162nd Lane, Hughs Industrial Park. The fence is
permitted by Special Use Permit; however, the ordinance requires any
fence in excess of six feet to be set back the minimum required building
setback for the zoning district, in this case, 10 feet from the property
line in the rear and side yards. The applicant has requested a variance
to this provision. Staff feels the fence should be at least one foot
from the property line so the barbed wire security arm portion of the
fence is over the applicant's property. Staff recommends approval
subject to a sunset clause and to Staff review and inspection.
After discussing the height of the fence, it was the consensus of the
Commission that the height would be that six-foot portion of the chain
link fence. They felt the bent security arm was not a part of the fence
but rather an addition to it. They felt no variance is necessary but
that the overhang should not encroach onto neighboring properties.
Chairperson Dehn asked if the fenced area will be accessible for
emergency vehicles. Mr. Carlberg suggested the applicant may wish to
have some kind of lock box so the Fire Department would be able to
access the premises.
o
Discussion was on the fencing itself. A representative from Ace Solid
Waste stated he would not put in slats right now but intends to do so at
some point. Mr. Carlberg felt the slats would make it look better, but
it is for security purposes and the ordinance permits chain link fencing
without restrictions.

(Public Hearing: Special Use Permit, Ace Solid Waste, Continued)
The hearing was opened for public testimony. There was none.
MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Jovanovich, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried on a 4-Yes, 2-Absent (McMullenr Pease) vote.
MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Jovanovich, that the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends to the City Council that they approve the Special
Use Permit request by Ace Solid Waste to construct a chain link fence.
The Commission finds that the request meets the criteria established in
Ordinance No.8, Sections 4.21 and 5.03. The public meeting was held
and no one showed up for it. There were no adverse comments, therefore.
Approve subject to the conditions: 1) The Special Use Permit shall be
subject to a sunset clause. 2) The Special Use Permit shall be subject
to Staff review. 3) That the fence shall be placed in such a manner
that the security barbed wire does not extend over the adjoining
property.
Motion carried on a 4-Yes, 2-Absent (McMullen, Pease) vote. This will
be heard by the City Council on June 8, 1993. 7:47 p.m.

VARIANCE - 3480 BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD NW, SETBACKS AND LOT REQUIREMENTS
DISCUSSION
Mr. Carlberg stated Staff is requesting the item be withdrawn from the
agenda. There does not appear to be a resolution yet between the
residents in Chapman's Addition and Grace Lutheran Church as to the best
option to providing access to the church. The item will be brought back
when everything is resolved. The Commission agreed.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Carlberg announced that Steve Jonak has resigned his position on the
Planning and Zoning Commission. The Council will be accepting that
resignation at its May 18, 1993, meeting. The Commission and Mr.
Carlberg expressed appreciation for Mr. Jonak's dedication as a
Commissioner.
The Commission asked about the legal oplnlon as to which Comprehensive
Plan is legal. Mr. Carlberg stated the City Attorney believes the 1982
Plan is the correct one to follow at this time because the 1990 Plan has
not been approved by the City Council in its entirety, nor has the
Metropolitan Council approved it yet.
Mr. Carlberg reported the Council has asked the Commission to look at
the issues of a turf or lawn ordinance and to review the Snowmobile/ATV
Ordinance. Both items will be placed on future agendas.
