Commissioners Present: Bosell, Jovanovich, Jacobson, Pease, Vistad, Bernard None Todd Haas, Assistant City Engineer; Daryl Morey, City Planner Commissioners Absent: Also Present: Approval of Minutes - January 26, 1988 MOTION by Jacobson, seconded by Bernard to approve the minutes of January 26, 1988 as presented. Motion carried on a 6 yes, 1 present (Vistad) vote. Grace Lutheran Church Rez~ninq, Cont. Daryl Morey indicated that he has included in the agenda packets a copy of the recommendation by the consulting p.ngineering. Also included is an aerial photo that shows the site layout. The proposal shows a loop around the south end of the site running adjacent to 135th Lane, which would give us a right-in right-out at the current church entrance. Neither Mr. Ge~rhart or the church fp.lt that proposal was satisfactory to th~m because of the cost of the cost of constructing the roadway and the fact that it would not be a public road. Mr. Gearhart has informed Mr. Morey that he is not purchasing the property and would like to withdraw his request for a rezoning. Mr. Morey asked if all of Mr. Gearhart's fee would be refunded or a portion only. MOTION by Vistad, seconded by Pease to refund Mr. Gearhart's application fee that was unspent.Because the applicant withdrew his application for a rezoning, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the unspent funds be refunded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Morey noted that the City Council made a motion to not extend Rose Street to Bunker Lake Boulevard. He further explained that he did some research on fast food restaurants and Burger King could build on a minimum of 40,000 square feet and McDonald's would need 50,000 square feet. There- fore, a fast food restaurant could fit on this particular lot. Commissioner Vistad noted that he does not like the loop street that has been proposed. It was explained that the street is only a guideline and r ~ not an approved proposal. '-J Ordinance 8 Amendment Public Hearinq, Cont. Mr. Morey noted that he has made a number of changes to the amendment he \ '- ) Planning Commission Meeting February 9, 1988 - Minutes Page 2 (Ord. 8 Amendment, Cont.) presented at the last meeting. Regarding the definition of Personal Services, Commissioner Vis tad asked that rather than saying 'including the following', it should read 'includ- ing the following examples'. After discussion on this particular item, the Commission recommended that it read 'such as':............ Discussion followed on several of the other uses listed in the amendment, with no further changes being made. MOTION by Bosell, seconded by Jovanovich that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of the Ordinance 8 amendment, amending sections 3.02, 7.01 and 7.03 as it pertains to adding definitions of personal services, convenience stores and permitted and accessory uses in both Limited Business and Neighborhood Business districts. The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed several options as to what should be included, how these changes should be implemented and it is their recommendation that it be adopted. Motion carried unanimously. Indian Meadows 3rd Addition Sketch Plan Todd Haas explained that the developers would like to revise the preliminary plat by two lots and work some things out because of the power line ease- ment. They would like to move the road further to the south. Commissioner Jacobson asked what occurred to make the original plat needing to be revised. Wayne Bachman, Developer - explained that the original property was part of Andover West developed by Derril Berger. When New Generation Homes platted Indian Meadows, they ran into some problems with the grading versus the elevations. They felt that the way the lot grades are working out in the area and the fact that they have to build so far back on the lots would make it difficult to market those lots. Mr. Bachman noted that none of the lots in this area have been sold as yet. Commissioner Vistad noted that Lot 4 is 2~ acres and if the street is moved to the south, substandard lots would be created. Mr. Bachman explained that the lots will become deeper and less wide on the south side of 153rd, ~aking the extra acreage being applied to Lot 4. Todd Haas noted that the only variance would be the two lots at the end of the cul-de-sac that might not meet the front footage at the setback line. Discussion was on the traffic flow if the plat is revised, with Commissioner Jacobson requesting to look at the entire plat to the north and south to see what this will do to the traffic flows. Commissioner Vistad asked if we are revising this plat in order to have more cul-de-sacs. Commissioner '- / ~ ) Regular Planning Commission Meeting February 9, 1988 - Minutes Page 3 (Indian Mcado~s 1rd, Cont.) Bosell st~ted that is not the purpose of this re-plat. Mr. Bachman is trying to get the power lines in the back of the houses instead of in front of them. She also noted that the City Council felt that the street alignment should be left as is. The Planning Commission needs to let Mr. Bachman know if he should leave the eyebrows in or take them out. After some discussion on whether Mr. Bachman needs to return to the Planning Commission with a revised sketch plan, it was decided th~t he should meet with the Andover Review Committee and then proceed with his preliminary plat. Mr. Haas stated that he would look at some of the other rural subdivisions that have the same problem and see what our reasons were for allowing variances. The Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 9:05 P.M. Respectfully submitted, u~ Vicki Volk Acting Commission Secretary
