Motion carried unanimously. / Audette Sketch Plan (Comm. #9-75-1) The Audettes presented their sketch plan. The Commission feels the plan looks good and the Preliminary Plat can be initiated. They may require soil borings and suggested the possibility of 10 acre lots instead of the approximate 2~ acre lots presented. McLaughlin Sketch Plan (Comm. 119-75-2) Norbert Tempel presented a sketch plan that he and Mr. McLaughlin have designed. The lots presented all meet the zoning requirements of Rw4. Since the sanitary sewer is being installed there, the Commission feels the lots could be nlade smaller. If a lot is too small to meet the zoning requirements, they should apply for a Variance at the same time as the Preliminary plat. Agenda Change Motion by Johnson, seconded by Jaworski, to reverse Agenda items 3 and 4 and discuss the Weed Ordinance (Agenda item 4) if time permits. Motion carried unanimously. \ ) Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 9, 1975 Page 2 Cooprehensive Plan Chairman 1. Jack's statement on Metro Council's recommendations - page 8 The only definite change by Metro. I believe that there should be a formal motion to the City with how each one of the members voted. I am in favor of it, I believe in it, and that it is workable. 2. I feel that it is a must and should be <3 separate Ordinance and it should come as a recommendation from the C~nission to direct the legal staff to draw up on-site septic Ordinance. 3. I believe this is one of the items that we can include in the plan by the simple insertion of a few sentences from the transportation section. It could be worded to make note of the fact that there is a classification system available through Hetro Council and that we should coordinate the classification plan they spell out. 4. I believe the words "bicycle facilities and \~alkwtly paths" should be an addendum to the plan. 5. This has not been adopted and we should \>lait until tle have some concrete proposals to judge our recommendations on. 6. This is again a future item. He do have an area in our City that will need some waste management control, but possibly at a future time. 7. At this time it is a very large undertaking, and really too much of a detailed study to be asking us to do at this time. 8. I believe that our emphasis on the Capital Improvement Program in the plan right now takes care of the reco~.endation they are making. 9. Add the sentence - The services in the rural section of the plan \>li11 not be the snme as the urban area. Art Jaworski - I agree with Dave Jack. In regard to the first section _ 10 acre minimum lot size - I feel it is workable at this time and we will be reviewing this plan yearly. If something should be changed, t~e can change it then. Would like to emphasize #8. / Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 9, 1975 Page 3 Ken Heil - I agree with Art and Dave. Their statements seem to caver everythiHg vpry. ~'~ell. Dccn .Johnson - I t11~o 2grec. Tl1~ Commissioners discu::;sed open and closed sel'lage systems, and also that the Water System is the only thing in the recommendations from the April 8 Minutes that isn't being met. Ken Orttel - I believe there should be some flexibility. I am in disagreement with 10 acre lot size requirements because there are other alternative::; and believe it was somewhat misleading. I agree with the rest of the plan but not 10 acres. Arleane Nehring - I feel as Ken does. If it is spelled out better, and, if it would be possible for someone to build on a 2~ acre lot, I would agree. Motion by Heil, seconded by Jaworski, that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recorr~ends adoption of the Community Development Plan as presented to the l1etro Council with the following inserts: Page 148 - paragraph 5 - include "Bicycle Paths" after Collector Streets Page 149 - primary policy - paragraph 6 - to note Hetro functional transportation classification ::;ystem and be coordinated with it. Page 149 - last paragraph - to add the following: 2 documents available by the Metropolitan Transit Commission, The Mockl Code for Transit Impact Analysis and Recommended Standards for Bus-Related Road Improvements, be added to the criteria of the Secondary Policies. Page 192 - last paragraph - add sentence: It is reccrr~ended that the Rural Area not be serviced with projects to encourage development until it becomes contiguous with the Urban Area.
