Commissioners Present: Byron Copley (appointed to the Commission by the City Council on January 11, 1979), Ralph Kishe1, George Lobb, Jeannine Pyron, and Larry Retzlaff Commissioners Absent: None (A letter of resignation was received from Walter Dick on January 16, 1979.) Also Present: Dave Pi11atzke, Engineer from T.K.D.A., and others Rosella Sonsteby, 4100 - 7th Avenue North, Andover, asked the Commission for clarification of Section 4.05 (c) of Ordinance 8 and what the minimum setback would be for a garage. She was referred to Section 6.02 of Ordinance 8 and told that the setback depends on the zoning district and whether she is talking about sideyard, rearyard or front yard. Mrs. Sonsteby said the property is on Round Lake Boulevard, next to the Hagen's property, in R-3 zoning, and would be where she just got a variance from the City. She has some lots there and the people are asking if they can build a garage that faces the easement and is only 10 feet from the easement. They would back out onto the 33' easement and then drive down the easement to get on Round Lake Boulevard. The Commission told her they didn't think they would want a new house and garage where the garage is only 10' from the front yard and that there should be 35'. She then asked if they have to have the garage facing the same as the front of the house. She was told that it depends on the particular circumstances and she should talk to the Building Inspector.

North Birch Creek Estates Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Comm. #11-78-1) o They do not have the revised drawings ready so this item will be continued to the next meeting. o o 00 o Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - January 23, 1979 Page 2 Oakwood Estates Sketch Plan (Comm. #1-79-2) Ernie Rud, surveyor, presented Keith Harstad's sketch plan for 13 lots in the N~ of Section 9. The property is located south of the power line, east of Round Lake Boulevard, west of White Oaks Country Estates and north of the preliminary plat known as Kadlec Addition. The lots are each 2~ acres or more. Engineer Pi11atzke said that the major issue should be the area north of the sketch plan, the long narrow parcel of land containing the power line. It would be somewhat dependent on what might be allowed in the power line easement whether the land could be developed but it should be looked into. 171st Avenue, in White Oaks, dead ends on the parcel with the power line. It was suggested that perhaps it could be extended and connect with the roads in this proposed plat. By doing this it would allow more than 1 access into White Oaks. Chairman Bose11 informed Mr. Rud of 2 easements on record at the County Court House for Mr. Harstad's property. Mr. Rud will check on them. It was suggested that Flora Street and/or Eide1weiss Street be extended to the north, which would allow for possible future extension into the piece of land to the north. The proposed Lot 1, Block 2 has existing structures. Mr. Rud will now proceed with the prel iminary plat. Otto Linstad Lot Split Request (Comm. #1-79-3) The subject property is 300' x 280' in Section 12 and adjacent to Lot 3, Block 4, Pinger's Plaza Addition in the City of Ham Lake. Mr. Linstad owns a piece of land, Parcel 7300, that is approximately 27 acres. He would like to split off the subject property and sell it to Rick Franz who lives on Lot 3, Block 4 of Pinger's Plaza. The subject property was created in 1977 when Mr. Linstad sold 10 acres to Henry Matson. The land he intended to sell was 330' on Crosstown but 258.08' wide. He was required to increase the width to 300' in order to get a building permit. In order to maintain the 10-acre size, the subject 300' x 280' was created. Rick Franz, 16850 - 3rd Street NE, Ham Lake, asked if there is a possibility of University Avenue being constructed in the future. If so, it would then divide the lot his house is on from this land. He wondered whether he could get a building permit for this land if University Avenue was built. He also mentioned that the lot his house is on would have double frontage if University Avenue was constructed. The Commission said that the lot, 300' x 280', does not meet the zoning ordinance requirements and Mr. Linstad should have applied for a variance rather than a lot split. Also discussed whether this land could be combined with Mr. Franz' property since they would be in 2 different Cities. Mr. Linstad was asked to fill out a variance form before the next meeting and Chairman Bosel1 will check with the City Attorney about combining the 2 pieces of property. '\ V Motion by Kishe1, seconded by Lobb, that the Otto Linstad request for variance to transfer some land to Rick Franz be continued until the next regular Planning and Zoning Meeting so that the matter can be looked into regarding the liability of a parcel of land being adjoined in 2 separate municipalities. Motion carried unanimously. This will be on the February 13, 1979 agenda. o () () o o Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - January 23, 1979 Page 3 Mike Good Sketch Plan (Comm. #1-79-4) Mr. Good had called and requested that discussion be continued to the next meeting on February 13, 1979. Engineer Pi11atzke mentioned that in his review of the proposed plan that the City's 5-year Municipal State Aid Highway Program would affect this land. Proposed for 1980 would be the construction of Hanson Boulevard. There is a problem with this plat in relation to Hanson Boulevard because of right-of-way that would be required. The substation is already there so probably, in construction, Hanson Boulevard would have to go along the west side of this land and would need 120' or 150' of right-of-way. He also mentioned that the wetlands map takes a lot of land to the north. The sketch plan will be on the next agenda for discussion with the developer. Ordinance 10D Continued Public Hearing (Comm. #12-78-6) Chairman Bose11 reopened the public hearing. Commissioner Retzlaff explained why this amendment is being proposed. The City has recently been having a problem with park dedication, whether land or money should be given. He surveyed a number of other Community's ordinances dealing with the dedication of land for public uses. The proposed amendment is primarily the City of Maple Grove's Ordinance. Suggestions and/or discussion: on page 2 delete "standards and guidelines" and insert "of the Comprehensive Park Development Plan"; on page 3, "fair market" is being changed to "market value"; on page 5 - whether the Park Commission should be allowed to establish their own accounting procedure and the problems they might encounter; the Planning Commission felt that statement should be in the ordinance but to add, ''with a limit as set by Council Resolution"; on page 6 _ discussed setting a ceiling on adding the 1% for each additional dwelling unit per acre over 5; the Commission felt that if a large apartment complex were built or a great deal of homes were built in a small area, a ceiling on land for public use would not allow enough public land. The Commission asked that the proposed Ordinance be retyped as changed and sent to the City Attorney requesting his written comments prior to the next regular meeting. They also requested that a copy be sent to the Park and Recreation Commission Chairman, Wes Mand. Chairman Bose11 called for public input. Mrs. Sonsteby asked for an explanation on deleting the word "fair" from "market value". Motion by Lobb, seconded by Pyron, to close the public hearing on Ordinance 10D. Motion carried unanimously. o o o :') 'J o ) ''--..-/ Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - January 23, 1979 Page 4 Review of Updated Comprehensive Development Plan (Comm. #1-79-5) Chairman Bosell said that she had talked with Bob Hill of Midwest Planning and he had told her the updated plan would soon be mailed to the Commission. She asked the Commission members to review the Planning Tactics and Inventory Update received already from Midwest. Perhaps by the next agenda the Comprehensive Plan can then be reviewed. Proposed Rum River Ordinance Discussion (Comm. #9-78-6) In their review of the ordinance, the Commission changed or discussed the following: 1) Section 4.04, Definitions - after some of the words being defined it said, ''means'' and others gave the meaning in a separate sentence. It was agreed to make the definitions consistent and remove the word ''means'' from all of them. 2) In Section 3.02.03 the ordinance said Special Use Permit and elsewhere in the ordinance "Conditional Use Permit" was used. The Commission agreed to have it changed to "Conditional Use Permit". The Commission then asked that it be retyped and sent to the Department of Natural Resources for their review. It was suggested that a time be set for a meeting with a representative from the DNR. Chairman Bose11 will take care of it. Ordinance 8 Amendment regarding Junkyards Chairman Bose11 advised the Commission of her discussion with the Council and Attorney on this matter. The new junkyard ordinance still does not deal with the possibility of getting more junkyards into the City and it does not deal with the opportunity to eliminate them if they go out of business for a certain length of time. Suggestions were: eliminate or delete from Ordinance 8, under Special Uses in Section 7.03 the part stating "auto reduction yard"; thus they would be a nonconforming use and when their use discontinued, they could not be restarted; or to change the zoning of the property to that no future junkyards would be built in that area. Several Commission members felt the amendment would be better. This will be on the next agenda as a public hearing. Park Liaison Chairman Bose11 asked for a volunteer for the position of park liaison - no one volunteered. Adiournment Motion by Retzlaff, seconded by Pyron, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:38 P.M. o~~~ Commission Clerk
