Motion carried on a 3 yes, 1 present (Jacobson) vote. , '\ r J "_/ Lot 5, Watt's Garden Acres Rezoninq Public Hearinq Chairman Jacobson explained that this rezoning was initiated by the City Council. When the other lots in Watt's Garde~ Acres were noticed for a rezoning public hearing, this one was not in the notice. The owners do want their property zoned to R-4. He noted that the property owner is not present at this meeting and the Planning Commission can either act on this item or hold it over. It was the concensus of the Commission to act on this request. At this time Mr. Jacobson opened the public hearing. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Vistad to close the public hearing. Motion carried. MOTION by Vistad, seconded by Apel that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning of Lot 5, Watt's Garden Acres from General Industrial to R-4, Residential Single Family for the following reasons: 1) It will not adversely affect the existing or potential use of adjacent land; 2) The land o,vner has made the request; 3) It will not seriously depreciate surrounding property values; 4)It will not cause serious traffic congestion; 5) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community. o A public hearing was held and there was no opposition. Vote on motion: Yes - Apel; Vistad; Jacobson - No - Bosell. Ms. Bosell stated that she voted no because we haven't given much thought as to \ l_ .) ~) ~ , ) Regular Planning Commission Meeting November 12, 1986 - Minutes Page 2 what we're going to do when we eliminate all of the industrial property in the city. Motion carried. This will go to the City Council on December 2, 1986. Ordinance 8, Section 6.02 Amendment Public Hearinq Chairman Jacobson stated that this amendment would change the side yard setback to 5 feet and 10 feet. He stated that the Commission can do one of several things: go back to an 85' wide lot with the standard side yard setbacks, allow a 5 foot side yard setback only when a 3 car garage is built, or go with an 85 foot lot with a 5 foot set back on one side. He also noted that at the Council meeting it sounded as though they felt that if we didn't allow for a reduced setback on one side, we would end up with people storing boats and trailers on the garage side of the house. Some of the Council would rather see these boats and trailers in a garage rather than being stored outside. Commissioner Bosell stated that Dave Almgren said that after Northglen, which has 80 foot lots and a 30 foot front yard setback, was finished it looked too crowded. After that was done, the front yard setback was changed to 35 feet. Ms. Bosell noted that she would like to go to an 85' x 130' lot but not at this time because our ordinance is in such ~ bad shape. ~ Commissioner Apel didn't think that anyone is willing to change the setback, including the Building Official. At this time Chairman Jacobson opened the public hearing. It was noted that no one was in the audience for this item. MOTION by Vistad, seconded by Apel to close the public hearing. Motion carried. MOTION by Bosell, seconded by Apel that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council no change in the ordinance re- garding the side yard setback. However, it was the concensus of the Commission to consider increasing the front footage from 80 feet to 85 feet with 10 foot and 10 foot side yard setbacks. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on December 2, 1986. Transient Merchant Ordinance, Cont. \~ ) Commissioner Apel stated that his main concern is that he does not want everyone who is in the city selling something coming to City Hall to obtain a permit. Chairman Jacobson noted that the exclusions should have been in the draft ordinance he provided so that everyone understood who is not required to obtain a license. \ / \ '---...J Regular Planning Commission Meeting November 12, 1986 - Minutes Page 3 '. / Commissioner Bosell asked what the length of the time is for the license period. Mr. Jacobson noted that for non-profit organizations it 1S six months. Mr. Jacobson also noted that the prohibited practices section should be in the ordinance. Ms. Bosell stated that she would like to see the following added to Item #11 on the last page: 'and a sample thereof'. It was decided that 'Sample may be requested' would be added instead. Ms. Bosell also asked that there be a written return procedure in the ordinance. It was the concensus that this is not needed as that is governed by State law. On the application form there will be a statement saying that approval of the license is subject to verification. Several other changes were made to the ordinance including a six month license period. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Vistad that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of a Transient Merchant Ordinance submitted by Commissioner Vistad and Chairman Jacobson with the changes that we have discussed. The ordinance is necessary to give lour enforcement people the tools necessary to protect the residents of Andover from unscrupulous and incompetent salesmen. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on December 2, 1986. Commercial Pole Buildinqs, Cont. This item will be continued to the next meeting.
