Adjournment o o () CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING-MAY 26, 1987 MINUTES The Regularly Scheduled Andover Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was called to order by Chairman Maynard Apel at 7:30 P.M., Tuesday, May 26, 1987 at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N.W., Andover, MN. Commissioners Present: Commissioners Absent: Also Present: Jovanovich, Bosell, Jacobson, Rogers, Vistad None Steve Johnson, Loretta Mason, Byron Westlund, others Approval of Minutes May 13, 1987 Herb Perry's comments should read that platting the property for SuperAmerica is required for financing. Page 2, the motion regarding Local Oil Addition, reason #4, plugging the sanitary sewer, should be striken. o MOTION by Bosell, seconded by Rogers to approve the minutes of May 13, 1987 as amended. Motion carried. Steve Johnson Variance, Cont. Chairman Apel noted that Mr. Johnson wants to build a house 90 feet from the centerline of Round Lake Boulevard instead of the required 100 feet. Mr. Johnson noted that on his side of Round Lake Boulevard the houses are all 90 feet and on the other side they are 100 feet. Commissioner Jacobson asked what the setback would be from the Ordinary High Water Mark of Round Lake. Mr. Johnson stated that Cain and Associates are still working on that. Commissioner Bosell stated that because Round Lake is classified as a General Development lake the setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark is 75 feet. She asked Mr. Johnson if he has requested sanitary sewer and water. Mr. Johnson stated that he has. Commissioner Vistad felt that because there are houses on either side of this property, to have Mr. Johnson's house match up with them would make good sense. :.J MOTION by Jacobson, seconded by Vistad that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of a variance requested by Steve Johnson for the property known as PIN 29 32 24 13 0024 I \ \ ) \ ~ Regular Planning Commission Meeting May 26, 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (S. Johnson Variance, Cont.) , ) for the following reasons: I) The variance would allow use of the property in a manner which would conform to the alignment of existing structures on either side of it; 2) Approval is pursuant to Ordinance 8 and Ordinance 71. Approval is contingent upon the applicant applying for sanitary sewer and also subject to DNR approval per Ordinance 71. Discussion: Commissioner Bosell didn't feel he was varying from Ordinance 71, only Ordinance 8. Mr. Jacobson stated that if it is the opinion of legal counsel that it doesn't need to go to the DNR then he would agree. Ms. Bosell didn't think that he needed a variance because of the amend- ment to the Ordinance that was adopted by the City Council on May 5th changing the setback on arterial streets from 50 feet to 40 feet. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on June 16, 1987. Loretta Mason Special Use Permit Public Hearinq Chairman Apel explained that this is a request to sell a double bungalow as individual units. He then opened the public hearing. Commissioner Bosell asked if the units are served by sanitary sewer. , Loretta Mason - stated that each unit has sewer, water, gas and electric. , ) Ms. Bosell asked when the house was built. Ms. Mason stated it was built in 1971. Commissioner Jacobson noted that the lot is 100' x 150' and if we split it, each lot will have 7500 square feet. In this particular zoning district, the requirement is 8,550 square feet per lot. He also noted that if this is allowed, Ms. Mason will have to comply with the Uniform Condominium Act. Commissioner Jovanovich felt that buying individual units like this is something that is going to be more common. Commissioner Vistad asked if there is a double wall system that is sheetrocked on both sides. Ms. Mason noted that it is a plywood single wall. The garages are in the middle of the structure. Mr. Jacobson asked if Ms. Ma~on would be willing to have this held over for two weeks so that the Uniform Condominium Act could be researched. A second issue is that the lots will be substandard in size. \ I , / Ms. Bosell noted that she would agree that we table this to the next meeting but for a different reason. Ordinance No. 8N was deleted in 1985 so we need to go to Ordinance 8EE. This amendment says that two family homes are allowed when they are shown on the original plat. On the advise of the City Attorney, we should table this to make sure that we are dealing with the correct thing. She noted that the substandard lot is not an issue to her as the size of the lot is not going to change. This item will be continued to the June 9th meeting. , \ \ ) ~.j Regular Planning Commission Meeting May 26, 1987 - Minutes Page 3 / Woodland Development Variance Byron Westlund - stated that their problem is that they have houses that are too big for the lots. The lots in question are corner lots on cul- de-sacs. They would like to go from 35 feet to 25 feet. Chairman Apel noted that everyone should be aware of the May 5th motion by Councilman Orttel that would change the side yard setback from the street to 25 feet. Commissioner Bosell noted that Lot 7, Block I, Woodland Terrace will meet the ordinance if the setback is 25 feet. Lot 6 just to the north of this is going to meet the 35 feet. Lot I, Block 5, Woodland Terrace 4th is going to face Marigold Street. Its rear yard is going to be on the cul-de-sac. If the request is changed to 25 feet she would have no problem with it. Mr. Jacobson noted that if this house fronts on Marigold Street, the back of the house will face all of the houses on Marigold Court. Mr. Westlund noted that it is their understanding that the addresses are not negotiable. Ms. Bosell stated that she would like to do nothing with Lot 2, Block 5, Woodland Terrace 4th or Lot 12, Block 7, Woodland Terrace 4th and let / the developer figure out if they can set the house on those lots without variances. It was the concensus of the Commission to hold this over to the next meeting to allow the developer time to figure out if they could fit houses on some of the lots as they are. DiscussionjRezoninq of Commercial Park, Cont. Commissioner Bosell noted that she prepared a list of what is allowed in a General Industrial District and Neighborhood Business District. The GI district does not have an area requirement. Chairman Apel stated that there are some things in the GI district that we don't want in the Commercial Park. He suggested that we come up with a new zoning district with specific uses that we would like to see there. Commissioner Jacobson stated that he would like to see some office buildings, restaurants, and high rise apartment complexes. Commissioner Vistad felt the the Neighborhood Business classification is the closest to what we are looking for. Ms. Bosell stated that the only thing lighter than NB is Limited Business. Our Comprehensive Plan gives us some suggestions for new names for zoning districts. / Mr. Vistad asked if the Commission could see the conceptual plan so that they know what to plan for. ( ) ~) Regular Planning Commission Meeting May 26, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 ,/ (Rezoning Commercial Park, Cont.) Chairman Apel suggested that the Commission decide what they feel should be in the Commercial Park and if those uses doen't fit into the sketch plan, the Council will have to deal with it. MOTION by Vistad, seconded by Jacobson to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 P.M. Respectfully submitted, u~ Vicki Volk Commission Secretary ~/ )
