Mr• Langenfeld indicated that on Page Z4, first paragraph, the
sentence reading ^He indicated that many people think that this
project will be subsidized, therefore, that it would be sub-
standard^, should read ^Ne indicated that since this project
would be subsidized, that some people felt it would be sub-
standard•^ Mr. Langenfeld felt that the word "think^ gives the
impression that people are thinking of something that does not
exist when, in fact, it is a subsidized project•
Mr• Langenfeld corrected tfie seventh paragraph from the top of

Mr• Richard S� Carlson {Briar Homes, Inc•}, and Mr• Edward Chies=
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously
and the letters were received•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the letters were part of the
file and would go to City Council=
Chairperson Harris asked if Mr• Boardman had any additional
comments on this item.
Mr. Boardman answered that he did not•
Chairperson Harris asked Mr= Peterson if he wished to address
this subject•
Mr. Peterson commented �hat he didn't have anything to say
other than that he had put in for a rezoning and wanted to
know if it was going to be allowed or not.
Chairperson Harris asked if there was anyone in the audience
wfio wished to speak for or against the request•
Mrs. Richard Morin of 7635 Meadowmoor Drive wanted to know what
the three letters received by the Planning Commission concerned•
Chairperson Harris informed her who the letters were from and
proceeded to read the letters to the audience-
Mr. Richard Morin of 7635 Meadowmoor Drive indicated that he had
no objection to duplexes/double bungalows going in on Osborne
Road- He said that his objection was building duplaxes/double
bungalows on Meadowmoor Drive� He indicated that they {Mr. Morin
and the people accompanying him} had been to a previous meeting
and had, at that time, voiced their objections• He also said
that at the previous meeting they had been under the assumption
that all tfiese lots were zoned R-1� not C-1- Mr= Morin indicated
that the neighbors would like to see the lots on Meadowmoor Drive
zoned as R-Z and anything that Mr• Peterson wanted on Osborne Road

Mrs• Richard Morin said that another objection she had to double
bungalows was the upkeep• She indicated that even though it
had been stated that these double bungalows would be owner
occupied, the owners could move out in a couple of days and the
property would be total re��tal• She felt that too many times
the rente+^s don't care how the property is kept up and the
double bungalows begin to look shabby, therefore� making the
whole neighborhood look sharbY�
Mrs• Douglas Pavlik of 7h51 fleadowmoor Drive wanted to know
if anyone checked into the fact that the neighborhood didn't
know�that the lots were zoned C-1• She indicated that there
was concern among the neighbors that they had been told that
all these lots were R-1 lots•
Chairperson Harris commented that he suspected that whoever
caZled City Hall did not specify the particular lots when they
asked what the zoning was•
Mrsa hlorin said that she told City Hall what lots she wanted
� to know about. She said she indicated the two vacant loLs
on Meadowmoor {one fronted on Old Central and P1eadowrrioor} and
two other vacant lots that were just on Cleadowmooro She said
that she was told that all the lo'ts were zoned for single
family houses•

Chairperson Harris said
informed this; however,
C-1 since about 1959-
that it was possible she had been
he said that the lots had been zoned
f1r. Langenfeld indicated that the problems brought up at this
meeting and at previous meetings had been brought before Council
by one of the Council members and these problems were in the
minutes as items to be looked into•
Mr. 6oardman indicated that in regards to upkeep� the City
covers every street once a year-
Mr• Richard Morin indicated to the Planning Commission that the
neighborhood turnout was not as good as the last time because
some people were intimidated by what had been said at the last
meeting• At the previous meeting, the neiqhborhood presented
a petition to the Planning Commission indicating their wishes
to keep the lots zoned C-1• They were informed at that time
what could go on the lots as a C-1 zoning• Mr• Mori� felt
that the Commission fiad painted a bleak picture for the
neighbors• He also felt that many people didn't show up
because they felt there wasn`t any use to• Mr• Morin again
indicated that, for the records, he would still rather see
these lots remain C-1 than to see double bungalows/duplexes
built on the lots• He said that he had taken his name off
the petition because of what the Commission had said; however,
Planninq Commission Meetina — Mav 4, 1977 Page 4
he indicated he wanted his name put back on the petition. His
reasoning was that if the lots were zoned R-2 then it would be
over with and they would have to live with the double dwellings
for a long time• However, he said that if Ieft as C-1 perhaps �
they wouZd have a chance for a compromise with Mr• Peterson•
Chairperson Harris defended the Commission and City Staff saying
that it had not been their intent to intimidate the people. He
continued by saying that their intent had been to inform the
neighbors.
Mr. Morin said that the effect was intimidation even if it
wasn't tfie intent
Mr. Chuck Lindman o� 1378 Meadowmoor Drive pointed out that
there were still many names on the petition and the people
would still like the lots to remain C-1 rather than R-2.
Mr. Lindman also indicated that since Meadowmoor Drive was not
a through-traffic street, he didn't think anyone would want
to build any business on those lots. He continued to say that
�r• Peterson would probably have to take a loss if he did
put sorne type of busi�ess on these lots• Mr. Lindman said that
he felt Mr• Peterson wanted R-2 because of more profit.
Mrs. Morin indicated to the Planning Commission that she and
her husband wanted to put their names back on the petition•
Chairperson Harris said that that would be possible if the �
petition had not gone to City Council.
Mrs• Morin indicated that she had heard rumors that nobody would
buy lots for private homes on Meadowmoor. She said that they
had talked to the Realtor and he had indicated that he already
had people who wented to build on Meadowmoor• Mrs. Morin said
that she made the statement for Mra Peterson's benefit, so he
would know that the Realtor had indicated that there were
people interested in buying single family dwellings
on tfiose Iots•
Mr• Bergman asked for someone to refresh his memory regarding
Lots 5 and 21 on the East and Lots 2 and 25 on the West. He
wanted to know if these lots were developed and what they
were zoned as.
Mrs. Morin indicated that all the other houses in the area
were single family•
�

Planninq Commi�sion Meeting — Mav 4, 1977 Pa e 5
� Mr. Boardman indicated that the lots East were single family
dwellings and the lots West were commercial.
Mrs. Morin said that she only meant that there were no other
multi-family homes in the area.
Mr. Morin indicated that the commercial buiidings a11 face on
Central Avenue. He said that two of the duplexes would face
Osborne Road• He continued to say that they were only concerned
with the building of duplexes on Meadowmoor Drive
Mrs. Schnabel wanted to know if the concensus of opinion of the
neighbors tliat were present was that they did not want any or the
property rezoned or specifically they didn't want the two lots
on Meadowmoor Drive rezoned•
Mr� Morin indicated that they either wanted the lots to
remain C-1 or R-1, but they did not want the lots rezoned to R-2
on Meadowmoor Drive� He said they weren't concerned about the
lots on Osborne Road
Chairperson Harris asked Mrs- Schnabel if she had handled this
particular item in the Appeals Commission Meeting of
ppril 26, 197?. He also wanted to knnw the recommendation made-
� Mrs. Schnabel indicated that that the Appeals Commission did not
handle this item because the petitioner was not present at the
meeting• She also said that there �oas no person from the
neighborhood present at the meeting. She said that the Commission
felt they wouldn't act upon it until such time as either the
petitioner requested to come before the Appeals Commission or
some person from the neighborhood made a request- The
Commission felt that there wasn't enough information to go on
so the item was tabled•
Mr. Bergman wanted to know what the item was that had gone
before the Appeals Commission•
Mrs. Schnabel indicated that it was a request for a reduction
in lot size for R-2.
Mrs• Morin indicated that she had called City Hall to talk to
someone regarding the meeting for that night. The person she
talked to told her that it wasn't necessary for the neighbors
to appear because no matter what decision was reached, it would
be based upon the contingency that the lots were rezoned�
�
Planning Commission Meetin — May 4, 1977 Pa4e 6
Chairperson Harris said that he objected to what Mrs. Morin had
bean told• He indicated that if Staff was passing out that
type of information, he objected.
�rs� Schnabe2 indicated that she was really sorry to hear what
Mrs= Morin had said� 3he told Mrs• Morin that they rely on
the opinions of the adjacent neighbors to the property that is
before the Appeals Commission. She indicated that the comments
are used by the Appeals Commission so that they can make a
decision at the Appeals Commission ievel. She continued to say
that if the Commission doesn`t hear from anyone, they can only
assume that everyone is in agreement with whatever appeal is
coming througho Mrs• Schnabel did indicate that what �rs. Morin
was told was true, that whatever decision was reached, it would
be based on the contingency that the lots were rezoned•
Nevertheless, Mrs• Schnabel felt that Mrs. Morin should have
been told to attend the Appeals Commission meeting-
Mr. Boardman asked
been told that she

for a verification that Mrs• Morin had
did not have to come to the Appeals
Mrs. Morin indicated that she had been told that it was
completely unnecessary.
Mr. Langenfeld indicated that on this particular ^subject^
he felt the people had been terribiy misinformed in more ways
than one•
Chairperson Harris suggested that this item be added to the
agenda for the evening to be discussed later, after the
Public Hearings•
Mr. Bergman also felt that there was a lot of confusion on
this subject• He indicated that the petition seemed to be
the last thing completely firm as to who was for and who was
against the request• Mr. Bergman wanted confirmation that
this petition was placed into record as it stood as of the
last meeting that was he].d on this subject.
Chairperson Harris acknowledged that this had been done-
Mro Lindman indicated that any names that were Ieft on the
petition sti21 preferred to see C-1 than R-2 zoning on the
lots. He also said that if there was any problem, he would
be able to get the entire block of Meadowmoor Drive to sign
the petition•

Planninq Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 7_
� Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Peterson if he was aware that there was
a fair arnount of neighborhoo� opposition and confusion as to
the neighbors understanding his rights as well as their own
options� He continued to ask Mr. Peterson if he had any
contingency plans to develop the property as C-1� if the
rezoning request was not approved-
Mre Peterson responded that he would probably build a warehouse
and office space�
Chairperson Harris responded that warehouses are not allowed
in C-1 zones.
Mr= Peterson clarified his statement as saying office and
warehouse� not just a warehouse-
Mr• Berqman asked Mr. Peterson if there was some hardship in •
his ability to develop the lots as C-1 or leave the lots for
future development as C-1= Ne wanted to know if this was part
of Mr� Peterson's request for the change�
�r• Peterson indicated that there was no identifiable hardship•
Mr• Peterson felt that R-2 would be better as a buffer zone•
Mr. Bergman asked Mr. Peterson that if after listening to the
� Reighbors objections, if he would reconsider zoning the lots
fronting on Meadowmoor to R-1•
Mr= Peterson indicated that he would have to give the matter
some thought• He said that there was definitely a financial
difference in selling R-1 compared with selling R-2 and that
the difference would have to come out of his pocket�
Chairperson Harris asked Mr• Boardman about the lot sizes•
Mr= Boardman responded that one 1ot on Meadowmoor mas
120 feet deep with 75 foot frontage and the other lot on
Meadowmoor was 120 feet deep with 65 foot frontage and
90 foot rear.
Chairperson Harris asked Mr- Boardman if the normal R-1 lot
was 75 feet-
Mr• Boardman said yes.
Chairperson Harris continued by saying that 9,000 square feet was
the minimum R-1 lot size; therefore, it appeared that the lots
on Meadowmoor would be considered as minimum R-1 lots•
i
Planning Commission Meetinq — Ma 4, 1977 Paqe 8
Mrs• Schnabel indicated to Mr. Boardman that the Code Book stated
that the lot width at the set 6ack on a C-1 lot should be not
less than 160 feeto
Mr. Boardman said that the lot width of not less than 160 feet
or 20,Oa� square feet.
Chairperson Harris told Mrs• Schnabel that by putting all four
iots together, a person would have a buildable C-1 lot.
Mrs� Schnabel indicated that if the two lots on Osborne Road
were rezoned, and the lots on Meadowmoor were kept as C-1,
then the result would be an unbuildable C-1 Iot.
Mrs. Pavlik wanted to know if the lots on Meadowmoor were the
normal R-1 lot size, would the lot be big enougfi to build R-2`s.
Chairperson Harris indicated that he would need a variance• He
then asked Mr. Boardman what the minimum lot size was for an R-2.
Mr. Boardman said that the minimum lot size was 10,000 square feet•
Chairperson Narris said that
minimum square footaga• He
presently 9,000 square feet•
at present these Iots did not make

Mrs• Schnabel indicatad that the variance requests were the
reasons the subject had been brought before the Appeals
Commission. She said that the four lots individually did
not meet the minimum square footage of 10,QQQ square feet.
Mrs. Morin wanted to know if the variance requests would be
before the Appeals Commission again=
Mrs= Schnabel said that the items were tabled until the
petitioner requested to again appear before the Appeals
Commission.
Mr. Morin indicated that they had been led to believe that the
Appea2s Commission meeting was inconsequ2ntial• He said that
actually the Appeals meeting was the key meeting because if
they had won their appeal at the Appeals Commission meeting,
Mr. Peterson wouldn't be able to build ft-2's on those lots•
Chairperson Harris indicated that because of the misunderstanding
reqarding the neighbors attendance at the Appeals Commission
meeting was the reason the Planning Commission was going to
have a discussion later in the evening,

Planning Commission Meetin — Mav 4, 1977 Pa e 9
Mrso Morin wanted to know Mr• Peterson's reasons for not
iwanting to buiid R-1's on the lots•
Mr. Peterson indicated that he would have to give the idea
some thouqht.
Mr. Walter Lizakowski of 1402 Meadowmoor Drive indicated that
he felt the main objection to the R-2`s was the amount of
children that couid possibly be added to the already over-
whelming amount presently on Meadowmoor Drivea
�r. Morin said that they presently had a high instance of
vandalism mostly caused by children and he didn't feel that
more children should be added-
Chairperson Harris asked Mr� Peterson if he wanted his request
to stand as stated or if he wished to change it in any way. s
Mro peterson wantec? to know how he was to go about changing
the request, if his decision was to change it.
Chairperson Harris said that since they were down-zoning, he
would be able to just state to the Planning Commission whatever
change he wouid want•
Mr. Peterson wanted to give the subject some thought. He said
She would let the Planning Commission know either by telephone or
letter•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the Planning Commission could
continUe by making their recommendation to Council and then
Council would set up a public hearing to hear the matter and
then make a decision. He said that the Counc.il's decision would
be final• He told Mr= Peterson that the Planning Commission
oniy makes recommendations to the City Council�
Mr= Peterson wanted to know if it would be permissable to
let City Council know at the time they set the Public Hearing
if he wanted to change his request�
Chairperson Harris said it would be okay as long as it was before
City Council made publication of the Public Nearing
Mr. Peterson wanted to know when exactly he would have to notify
someone as to changing his request•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the Planning Commission Meeting
minutes would go to City Council on May 16, 1977, at which time

Mra Langenfeld wanted to be sure that the neighbors were aware �
of what could be established in a C-1 designation=
The neighbors in.the audience said that they were aware of the
possibilities•
Mr• Langenfeld indicated to the neighbors in the audience that
if he had in any way imposed �pon them or put them ^on the spot^
it had not been his intention.
MQTION by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mrs• Shea, to close the
Public Hearing on the Rezoning Request, ZOA #77-01, by Gary

by Gary Peterson: Rezone from C-1 {local business areas} to
R-2 {two family dwelling areast, Lots 3, 4, 22, and 23,

Road N=E=, 1344-46 Osborne Road N•Eo, 1345-47 Meadowmoor
Drive N=E., and 1331-33 Meadowmoor Drive N=E. due to the
objections from the neighbarhood� MOTION DIES FOR LACK OF
SECOND-
MOTION by Mrs. Schnabel, seconded by Mrs. Shea, that the �
Planning Commission recommends to City Council the approval
of the rezoning request, Z0A �77-Q1, by Gary Peterson: Rezone
from C-1 {local business areas} to R-2 {two family dwelling
areas}, Lots 3 and 4, Block Z, Meadowmoor Terrace, to allow
the construction of double bungalows/duplexes, the same being
3326-28 Osborne Road N�Eo and 1344-46 Osborne Road N.E-; AND
recommend to City Council the denial of the rezoning request,
ZOA #77-01, by Gary Peterson: Rezone from C-1 {local business
areas} to R-2 {two family dwelling areas} Lots 22 and 23,
Block 2, Meadowmoor Terrace, to allow the construction of
double bungalows/duplexes, the same being 1345-47 Meadowmoor
Drive N.Ee and 1331-33 Meadowmoor Drive N-E•
fhairperson Harris did not Iike the Motion by Mrs� Schnabel
because that proposal would create an unbuildable C-1 lot. He
said he would rather have someone recommend the rezoning of
the lots on Osborne Road to R-2 and rezoning the lots on
Meadowmoor Drive to R-1=
Mrs. Schnabel indicated that the petitioner had not requested
for a rezoning as such�
Chairperson Harris said that the Planning Commission could
recommend such a rezoning=
�

.
i
Planning Commission Meetin4 — May 4, 1977 Pa e 11
Mr. Boardman said it would be best to deny the rezoning and leave
all the lots as C-1-
Mr. Langenfeld said that that was why he had made his particular
motion as such= He recommended that the request that was before
the Planninq Commission be denied�
Mr. Bergman stated that to recommend that the request be denied
would penalize the requester as to time to change his mind=
Mr. Boardman pointed out that the Planning Commission could only
make the recommendation to City Council to deny the request a�d
that the decision would be made at the Council level and any
arrangements could be made at that time.
Mrsa Schnabel indicated that her intent in making the motion was
to grant the petitioner the ability to put R-2 dwellings on the
two lots on Osborne Road. She said that she understood that
an unbuildable C-1 lot would result, however, her intent was to
hope that the action would, in a sense, force Mr. Peterson to
rezone the lots on Meaaowmoor Drive to R-1•
Mr. Bergman hoped the Planning Commission would take a positive
position, including possibly their thoughts as to how the
Commission hoped th� petitioner would ch�nge his request-, and pass
on to the City Council those thoughts assuming that his request
would be cons=.stent with the Planning Commission- Therefore,
Mr• Bergman voted against Mrs. Schnabel`s motion•
Mr. Peterson didn't think the motion by Mrs• Schnabel was in
line with what the petitioner had requested•
Mrs. Schnabel indicated that the petitioner wes requesting rezoning
on two parcels of land and she recommended approving one and
denyin9 the other�
At this point there was discussion among the Commission as to
whether the land was one or two parcels•
Chairperson Harris said that the Public Hearing notice indicated
the lots as two parcels of land; one located at 1326 and 1344
Qsborne Road N.E. and one located at 1331 and 1345 Meadowmoor
Drive N•E.
Mr• Langenfeld felt the commission should stick to the petition
itself. He said that the Commission couldn't split something
that a�asn't in the form of the petition-
Mr• Langenfeld again indicated that his motion had been to deny
the stated request by Mr= Gary Peterson•
�
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Pa e 12
Chairperson Harris indicated that it was in the Ordinance that �
the Planning Commission was allowed to recommend a lesser zone
without re-publication•
Mr. Boardman said that the policy stated that thzs tould be
done at the petitioner's request, but that the petitioner had
not made a request. He continued to say that the Planning
Commission did have the authority to recommend any rezoning on
a lesser basis without re-publication•
Mrs. Schnabel said that the Planning Commission's motions are
only recommendations to the City Council and not final approval•
She said that the petitioner had the option to change his
request at the City CounciZ level•
UPON A VOICE UOTE, 2 voting aye and 4 voting nay, the motio�
failed :
Mr. Bergman indicated that the Planning Commission was opposed
to the total and specific request of rezoning four lots to R-2a
He also indicated the the Commission would be unfavorable towards
a C-1 development of the four lots. Therefore, he said that a
compromise would be in the best interest of the qeneral
neighborhood� He continued by seying that a valid land use
of the four lots would seem to be for lots 22 and 23 to be �
rezoned for single family development and that lots 3 and 4
be rezoned for buffer zoning for duplexes•
MOTION by f1r. Bergman that since the petitioner had indicated
some interest in the above modification and with the anticipation
that Mr� Peterson may choose to change his request, Mr= Bergman
suggested that the request be passed on to CounciZ with �he
Planning Commission's thoughts. MOTION DIES FOR LACK OF A
SECOND�
MOTIflN by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mr. Langenfeld, that the
Planning Commission recommends to City Council the denial of

1326-28 Osborne Road N.E=, Z344-46 Osborne Road N.E..,
Z345-47 Meadowmoor Drive N.E., and 1331-33 Meadowmoor Drive N•E�
with the understanding that the City Council would read all of
the minutes of the Planning Commission to find out the intent of
the neighbors as well as the intent of the Planning Commission
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the rezoning request ZOA �77-D1 �
by Gary Peterson had been recommended for denial and that the
request would go to City Counci� on May 16, 1977, and that a date
for a Public Nearing would be set at that time• He also said
that the audience would be notified by mail of the date for that
Public Hearing•
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 13
� Mrs• Pavlik wanted to know was going to be done regarding the
rezoning and the size of the lots•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the subject would have to be
appear before the Appeals Commission- However, he stated that
if the petitioner decided to go along with the previous
discussions regarding the Meadowmoor Drive lots, he would not
have to go before the Appeals Commission• Chairperson Harris
indicated that Mr• Peterson might have to go before the
Appeals Commission regarding the lots cn Osborne Road.
Mra Morin requested to be notified if the subject went before
the Appeals Commission again•
Mr� Boardman indicated that usually people aren`t notified on

planning Commission Meetinq — May 4, 1977 Paqe 14
Chairperson Harris asked Mr. Boardman to give the backgrou�d
on this item.
Mr= Boardman indicated that the proposal was to plat some open �
property betwaen Polk and Fillmore Streets N.E=, just south of
LYnde Drive• He said that presently there was a large ponding
area on this property= He continued to say that there was a
proposed plat on this area at one time to make buildable
sites out of the area, however, that plan fell through and this
proposal e>as what came out o� it• He indicated that the
proposal was for six lots�
Mr• Boardman showed the Planning Commission a copy of the
proposed plato He indicated that the lots are lar,e having
between 87 8 89 feet in width and about 304 feet deep� He said
that it was the intent of the city to retain a drainage pond
on the back portion of the property with drainage easement
picked up on lots 4& 5o He said that the ponding area would
drain off drainage into the sewer system on Polk Street=
Mrso Shea wanted to know about the easements•
Mr. Boardman indicated on the drawing the easements that the
City wanted.
Chairperson Harris wanted to know if Lot 4 would be buildable•
Mr= Boardman indicated on the drawing an araa that would be �
regraded and he said that there would be a sizable area to build
on this lot. He indicated, further, that at the time they were
not sure of the exact angle of the lot but said that before the
final plat went to City Council the angle of Lot 4 could be
changed� He said that the drawing would be reworked and proceeded
to show the Commission different areas that wouid be reconsidered•
Mro Bergman asked Mr= Boardman what the depth of lots would bea
Mr. Boardman indicated that the lots would be 3�4 feet, of which
the City would take 75 feet to allow for ponding area=
Mrs• Schnabel asked why tha City wanted a curved easement on
Lot 4 rather than makea right-angle turn onto tfie connecting
street.
Mr. Boardman indicated that it was mainly because of the slopes
of the hillsides• He said that the angle of the curve had not
been decided yeto He indicated that before the final plat went
before the City Council he would be �eeting With the Engineering
Department to determine actually how much easement would be
needed-
�
Planning Commission Meetin — Ma 4, 1977 Paqe 15
� Mrs• Schna6el showed concern about the ponding area in terms of
high water levels. She wanted to know if the drawing was
showing the pond at its highest level or at its present level•
�
�
Mr. Boardman indicated that it was shown at its current water
level•
Mrs• Schnabel said that at times the pond had been known to
become quite large•
Mr. Boardman said that the proposed plat had been to the
Engineering Department and they felt that the ?5 foot easement
on each side, with a modification of the drainage area, wouid
handle the higher water levels•
Chairperson Harris asked if the City was presently dumping
water into the pond.
Mr. Boardman indicated on the drawing the present areas that
are draining into the pond which in turn went to �oore Lake•
Mr� Boardman also indicated that the po^ding area was a
temporary solution to the present plat. He said that if the
petitioner, at a later date, decided to split the lots; then
drainage would have to go onto Po1k Street and woul.d be taken
care of by a new storm sewer system. However, he said that the
pond was a solution to the drainage that e�as presently there.
Mr• Langenfeld wanted to know if the Rice Creek Water Shed
District had any authority in the praposed plat•
Mr• Boardman indicated that any proposals for drainage into
Moore Lake are sent to the ftice Creek Water Shed District.
Mrs• Schnabel wanted to know if the intent was to drain the
pond entirely in the future-
Mr• Boardman indicated that the intent presently was to try
to limit the drainage going into Moore Lake�
Mr. Iwen {works for Mr• Gearman} indicated that presently
this pond drained into Moore Lake• He said that the water
level of the pond had to be kept d�wn, otherwise the people
in the area would have water in their basements.
Mrs. H• C• McKinley of 101❑ Lynde Drive said that they never
had water in their basements until someone started draining
the pond the last time {the year of the big tor�ado}= She
continued to say that the basements had always been dry
because Lynde Drive was high and on solid ground•
e
PZanninq Commission Meetinq — May 4, Z477 PaQe 16
Chairperson Harris wanted to know if it was Mr� Iwen's intent �
to make the pond into a drainage retention pond•
Mr. Iwen said that it was his in�ent to make it into a drainage
retention pond�
Chairperson Harris asked what he planned to do with the pond�
He wanted to know if Mra Iwen planned �o dig it or dredge it
or put in control structures, or basically what did he plan to doo
Mr= Iwen indicated he wanted to leave the pond as it presently
was.
Mr. Boardman indicated that the Engineerinq Department recommended
six stipulations be placed on the Plat•
Mrs= McKinley wanted to know what the zoning was on the six lots�
Mr. Boardman indicated that the Iots were zoned R-1•
Mr= Boardman wanted the following six stipulations read into the
record•
1• Comments and any pertinent requirements if any, must
be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources
regarding allowable alterations to the existing wet �
land within this plat prior to approval.
2= A 75 foot drainage and uti2ity easement along the
east lot line of lots 4, 5 and 6 and along the west
lot line of lots 1, 2 and 3-
3• Q 24 foot drainage and utility easement centered
over the common lot line of lots 4 and 5.
4• A 5 foot drainage and utility easement along all
property lines not previously mentioned•
5. Unless expressly prohibited by the Department of
Natural Resources, the owner should relocate the
existing drainage ditch presently centered on lot 4
to the common property line of lots 4 and 5, and an
appropriate inlet structure to be constructed as
a connection to the existing storm sewer line on
Polk Street- A timetable of one year would be
appropriate with an acceptable performance bond
of $2,OD�.00. An alternative would be the
acceptance of an agreement together with an escrow
of $2,000•0� for such construction in the future•
•
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 17
� 6� A triangular street and utility easement over the
southwest corner of lot 4, for future street and
utility purposes, the dimensions of which to be
determined by the Engineering Division and property
owners prior to submission of final plat-
As Mra Boardman read each of the stipulations, he clarified some
of the statements to be sure that everyone clearly understood
each point.
Mr• Bergman wanted to know if the Engineering Department's
recommendations for drainagc- easements and systems would be
an improvement from the present flooding situations•
Mr= Boar•dman said that it was his understanding from Engineering
that what they were basically doing was taking wha� was already v
existing, obtai�ing easements, and getting a utility and drainage
easement centered over the common line between lots 4 and 5, to
allow Lot 4 to be built and also to get drainage out to the
Polk Street storm sewer system-
Mr. Boardman didn't knoo� if the Engineerir.g Department felt.
that this system would be better. All �r• Boardman knew was
that tliey Planned to maintain tiie existing sys*ern until there
� was further development in the area. He continued to say that
if there was to be an additional re-plat of the property, then
something would have L-o be done with the storm sewer system
in the area to handle the additional drainage• He said that
there was presently a ponding area on the property because -
o� the incomplete development-
Mr. Bergman indicated that the reason he asked the question was
that it was his inpression that it was not specifically part
of the requestor*s intent to improve on the flooding problema
Mr= Iwen wasn't aware that there was a flooding problem�
Mr- Bergman indicated that he felt that it was the time to
address that problem=
Mrs• McKinley wanted to know what flooding problem Mr. Bergman
was talking abo�t•
Mr. Bergman said that she had commented about having water in
her basement•
Mrs. McKiniey said that there had been,no problem in the last
few years because the pond had been low.
� Mr. Peterso� wanted to know if Mrs. McKinley had water in her
basement in 1975.
Planninq Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 18
Mrs• McKinley explained that two things had happened the year of �
the ^big^ tornado� The first thing was that the tornado took
the roof off the apartment building and then bounced down to the
swamp and she indicated that her house ^sang^� She said that
every wire and pipe in the house vibrated and made a very eerie
sound= Sh2 continued to say that that was the same year that
a construction company tried to drain the swamp.
Mrs• McKinley said that the first few years they lived in the
house they never had any water problems• The first time they
experienced any problems was the year mentioned above and she
cauldn't say which of the items, the tornado or the draining of
the swamp, caused the water problem.
Mr. Peterson again askad if Mrs. McKinley had water in her
basement two years ago when the water was so high•
Mrs. McKinley indicated that she did.
Mr= Iwen indicated that there was presently a drainage system
out of the pond. He said that possibly the system was too
high� He continued to explain that there was a culvert and
that when the water got just so higfi in the pond, it drained
into the storm sewer on Polk and then into Moore Lake• He said
that no matter how much rain we qot, the pond shouldn't raise
any higher than a certain level• i
Chairperson Harris wanted to know how large the outfall
structure was.
Mr� Iwen said that the structure was a makeshift, temporary
thing with no piping• He said that it was just a culvert
i� a storm sewer and when the water got to a certain point
in the swamp, it would just drain off.
Mr• Iwen indicated that he believed that it would take about
two years to get the legal items worked out regarding the corner•
Mrs• McKinley wanted to know when the work would be started if
th2 1ot did get re-platted=
Mro 2wen guessed that it would be Fall before any work got
started=
Chairperson Narris asked Mr. Iwen if he had had a chance to
read through the six stipulations.
Mr. Iwen indicated that he had read them through and the only
item he questioned was Item 6"A triangular street and utility
easement over the southwest corner of Lot 4, for future
street and utility purposes, the dimensions of which to be �
determined by the Engineering Division and property owners
prior to submission of final plat"•

Planninq tommission Meetinq — Mav 4, 1977 Pa4e 19
Mr• Iwen wanted to k�ow if this stipulation wou2d leave a
buildable lot.
Mr• Boardman said that there would be no problems and Mr- Gearman
would have a buildable lot•
Mr• Iwen indica�ed that everything on the Iist was agreeable to
him.
Mr• Robert Prois of 1060 Lynde Drive N-Ee indicated that his
family enjoyed the pond and the natural setting and he wanted
to recommend that the City buy this parcel of land and leave
it in its natvral state�
Mrs• McKinley indicated that she feit the whole block enjoyed
the land in its natural state and felt that a park would be
ideal= However, she said if that couldn't be done, then
R-1 would be better than a lot of things that could happen
to these lotsa She did indicate that she would like to
see the pond left natural• She said that most of the neighbors
enjoyed the birds that came to the pond. She also said that
if people kept draining and meving the ��atv�al wetlands, the
children two or three generations from now wouldn't even know
what a water bird looks like.
Chairperson Harris wanted to know if Lhis ponding area encompassed
entirely on the area in question.
Mr. Boardman indicated that the ponding area also went back into
Lots 6, 7 & 8•
Mrs• McKinley wanted to know what was going to happen to the
natural drainoff from the service road.
Mr• 6oardman indicated it would go into the road.
Mr. Iwen indicated that he wanted the pond• He said that they
could have gone into the area and filled the pond and made 2❑ to
30 lots to build on• He pointed out that he was only planning
to have six lots and he planned to keep the pond. One of the
reasons he gave was that it would have been too expensive to go
into the area and build a development with 2� to 30 houses• He
said he would have had to put sewer and water, streets, curbs, and
gutters. He said that by doing it the way he proposed, he already
had sewer and water on both Polk and Fillmore Streets and he
could leave the pond in its present state•

Ghairperson Harris wanted to know what Mr. Iwen planned to do •
with the lots-
Mr. Iwen indicated that the lots would be sold for individual
homes•
Mrs• McKinley wanted to know if Mr• Iwen planned to build the
homes himseZf.
Mr� Iwen didn't want to say whether he would build the homes
or not•
Mrs. McKinley wanted to know if there would be any restrictions
on the homes-
Mr. Iwen said that he didn't believe there would be any other
than the same restrictions placed on any home in the area-
Mrs. McKinley felt that there would have been a bigger turn out
if more people could have figured out what the Public Hearing
notice was trying to say�
Chairperson Harris indicated that tha Planning Commission was
required by law to publish the legal description of the
property. �
Mr. R= M• Frank of 5512 Fillmore Street wanted to know if an
individual could buy one of the six planned Zots and then
break that lot into two lots, thereby creating a possibility
of 12 lots instead of the original plan of six lots�
Chairperson Harris indicated that a person would be able to
make a request to split the lot; however, whether the City
would allow it would be another matter.
Mr• Frank wanted to know if there was enough square footage
to make these lots into two lots.
Chairperson Harris said that he assumed there was enough square
footage on the lots to enable a possible lot split.
Mr� Frank wanted to know if Lot 4 would be a buildable lot-
Mr• Iwen said that he was told it would be a buildable lot�
flr� Frank wanted to know if the replat was being requested to
make Lot 4 buildable.

� Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 197? Page 21
Mr. Iwen indicated that the purpose of the replat was to make all
six lots buildab�e=
Mr- Frank wanted to know when the new street would be put in.
Mr. Iwen indicated that he didn't plan to put a street in�
Mr. Boardman pointed out on a drawinq to Mrs Frank the area he
was referring to and indicated that the street would come at the
time when whoever owned the back land decided what they wanted
to do with the property.
Mr- Frank wanted to know if the entire are on the drawing was
zoned as ft-1•

Mrs. McKiniey wanted to know why the Rice Creek Water Shed
District had to be tonsulted.
•
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 22
�r• Langenfeld said that Mrs- McKinley had showed great concern
of the pond and it was Mr• Langenfeld's opinion that the Rice
Creek Water Shed District was very concerned about the deletion
of wetlands, ponding areas, etc• because of the effect it has
on the surrounding areas in regards to eliminating the natural
water resources•
Chairperson Harris also indicated that the pond dumps into
Moore Lake which in turns dumps into Rice Creek= He said that
that was another reason to consult the Rice Creek Water Shed
District•

Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 23
. Mr. Boardman indicated that the proposal was for six lots and
that portion of Lot 13 minus the 200 feet to the East• He said
that there had been a mix up with'the Staff in that Mr. Smith
didn't have 442 feet but rather had 475 feet. Mra Soardman
indicated that Mr• Smith had another drawi�g that he had
sketched out•
Mr• Wyman Smith gave the background up to the point of the
meeting• He indicated that by using the 475 feet, he could
have five lots of 79 foot width and one 1ot of 80-foot width•
He said that by doing it that way all six lots would have
over the 75 foot minimum requirement�
Mr. Boardman said that he had laid it out as two lots
having 75-foot width and four lots with 80-foot width and
then Mr• Smith would have five feet of out-lot. He indicated
that with the five foot out-lot, the 15� feet on the corner
could possibly have two single family lots, if Mr. Leroy Smith
so desired= By having the five foot outlot, Mr� Wyman Smith
could sell or give the five feet to Mr. Leroy Smith, thereoy
giving Leroy the required amount of square footage without
having to qo through a lot split•
Mr. Wyman Smith indicated that the coi�ner lot could not be
taken care ot the way Mr� Boaroman suggested because
• Mr= Leroy Smith had �25,0�0 involved and a person couldn't get
that kind of money out of two dwelling lots�
Mr. Wyman Smith suggested that the five lots with 79-foot
width and one lot with 80-foot width be laid out.
Mr. goardman indicated that the requirements of the lots
would be that the City would need five foot utility and drainage
easements along the side of each of the lots and ten foot
utility and drainage easements along the back�
Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Smith if he was aware of the park fee
that would be involved with the plating•
Mr. Smith indicated that he was not aware of this park fee•
Mr. Boardman explained that there would be a park fee that
turns out to be ten percent of the land value of the property
which would equal approximately •038 cents per square foot-
Mr. Smith wanted to know what he was to do next.
�r. Boardman indicated that the final plat would have to be
drawn up for City Council-

8. STAFF ACTIVITY RE6ARDING INFOftMATION TD CAILERS.
Mr� peterson said that he shared the entire Planning Commission's
embarrassment at the statement that was made• He felt that
the Staff should be very carefuZ about suggesting that
people not appear in front of commissions that are meeting if the
people are effected because if the commissioners volunteer their
time, then it is important that if the people have anything to
say, they should be encouraged to be at the meetings
Mr. Bergman commented that the entire item had been a very
confusing item• He felt that the public should take more time
in developing their thoughts and their positions• Ne also
indicated that the people in the audience should be more careful
about stating their requests when they call City Hall for
information• He cited the example where Mrs• Morin indicated
she called City Hall and asked someone if she was required to
attend the Appeals Commission meeting• Mr• Bergman stated that
N0, she wasn't required to attend the meeting.

his benefit and that he should attend.
saying N0, the Staff
it might be to
Mr= gergman stated that very possibly the people are asking
the wrong questions or are using the wrong wards when stating
a question because there was too much indication of confusion
and misguiding for it to all be one-sided•
Mr- Peterson stated that the Staff peoplethat understand the
Ordinances and are workin9 at City Hall fu11 time sould have
a little more burden on them than does the citizen who is not
as well informeda Staff person should have realized that when
the caller asked if she was required, the caller really meant
was anything going to happen of impertance� Mr. Peterson felt
the staff should be discerning enough to understand even if the
wrong word might have been used•
Chairperson Harris said that a policy or procedure had to be
set up on how to handle instances such as this�
Mr= Boardman commented that prior to that time, there had
been no policy or procedure regarding this problem• He wen�
on to say that ther� were going to be corrections made�
He stated that staff was planning to set up a seven-day time
requirement before any application had to go to paper for
Public Hearing Notice or any application notice that would
have to be sent with an agenda. He said that Staff would
require seven-day application time during which time the
application would be reviewed by all Staff personnel and
then, and only then, would that item be put on an agenda or
set up for a Public Hearing=
Mr• Boardman indicated that the second thing that would
happen would be a Staff Checklist• He said that on Friday,
May 6, 1977, a Staff Checklist Procedure would be set up
in which a checklist sheet would be attached to all Building
Permits and all applications for rezoning, special use permits,
etc• and it would go through the entire review process• It
would then be returned to one person who would be the
responsible person for following the request through. He
indicated that it would be returned to him if it was an
application for the Planning Commission and that he would have
a complete handle as to all the recommendations from the other
areas• He indicated that other requests and applications would
be sent to the appropriate person responsible•
Planninq Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 26
Mr� 8oardman also discussed with t1r- Sobiech the giving out of
information. He indicated that since the secretaries did handle
much of the load for the Administrative Staff, that the
secretaries be informed that certain information would have to
be given out by certain personnel• He saici that a firm
conclusion had not been reached but the problem was being
worked on•
f1r. Langenfeld indicated that he felt it effected both the
Commission and the audience wher, the peopie joined forces
and talked about an item and then came to the meeting with
just one idea in mind, that being WHAT THEY WANT, and then
when any person on the Commission tried to inform them or
educate them, it would turn into an accusation that the
Comrnission had tried to intimidate them• He felt that
sometzmes the Commission was faced with a mental block that
had to be penetrated before tha item could even be discussed•
Chairperson Harris indicated that the problem with mis-
information from City Staff was that it was worse than no
information at all• He said that the people would get the
misinformation and then that would be changed and then the
people get defensive and belligerent.
Mr• Boardman indicated that there had been several cases
when a person would consult the City on a piece of property
and ask how many units they could build on this piece o�
property• He continued to say that without any further
information on that pieca of property, they could only
tell what would be possible on that much square footage of
land=
Chairperson Harris said that the requestor should be asked
exactly what specific piece of property he was talking about•
Mr• Boardman said that even with that information, they would
have to take the time to layout the building and layout the
parking lot- He indicated that usually they inform the person
that according to the Code he would be allowed to build
eight units on that property if all of the other requirements
were met. f^r• Boardman said that then the person is told to
draw up a site plan and bring it in to City Hall and they
could discuss the plan further.
Mr Peterson mentioned to Mr• Boardman that perhaps many of
the requests were from Real Estate Agents who would want the
information to be able to tell a potential buyer.

•
i
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 27
� Mro Boardman indicated that they still could only tell the
person that according to the square footage, he would be
able to build a certain amount of units but that there would
be other code requii^ements that would also have to be met�
Mr= Boardman cited an example to the Commission�
Mr• Peterson suggesed that in certain cases the requestor be
given a copy of the Code and have him discuss it with his
attorney rather than Staff saying anything•
Mr= Boardman said that usually they indicated that according
to the square footage they could be thinking of that certain
amount of units. The� the r•equestor would be qiven a copy of
the Ordinance and would be informed that those would be the
ordinances that would have to be met and before there would
be any more discussion on the plan the requestor would have
to have a site plan•
Mr= Bergman said that he felt that the num6er af units that
would be allowed was a r•easonable questian for a citizen to
ask and that Staff should give him an answer.
Mrs= Schnabel mentioned that in the Appeals Commission that
raost of the members go o4t and do a site inspection on each
piece of property that would oo before the Commission• She
said that they do this inspection individuaYly and on their
own time• She indicated that particularly when there was an
appeal that was unusual in nature and toould present some
distinct problems to the adjacent neighbors, she has gone to
the site a�d talked to the neighbors about the request. She
said that the Appeals Commission had a particular request that
was appearing for the second time and when she was at the site,
she talked with a neighbor who indicated that she was not
going to the meeting• Mrs� Schnabel talked with the neighbor
and indicated that the Appeals Commission needed their input
and it turned out that the neighbor had been opposed to the
particular request and because of Mrs• Schnabel's encourageme�t
the person went around the neighborhood and had a new petition
signed and that neighbor and several others appeared at the
meeting•
Mrse Schnabel indicated that she didn't like to ^hand-hold"
people from their homes to the meeting but she was concerned
about the person at the meeting that indicated that she had
called and had not been encouraged to attend the meeting�
Mrs. Schnabel said that she would like to see a memo sent to
the Staff indicating that any time there is a public hearing
and someone calls re9arding that meeting, that the person
calling definitely be encouraged to go to the meeting•
•
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 page 28
Chairperson Harris cited an example to the Commission that a
person would call City Hall and ask what a particular address
was zoned as and they would be told, for example, R-1= He said
that then the reques�or would say thank you and hang up and
City Hall would have no idea what was across the street or in
the neighborhood• Then when the owner of some adjacent property
wants to build some factory or something on his property, the
citizen would be upset because he had been told by City Hall
that his lot was zoned as R-1• Chairperson Harris indicated that
the citizen didn't always have the exact facts. He said that
the citizen had been told that HIS Iot was R-1 but there had
been no indication that the adjacent lot was also an R-1 lot-
Mr= goardman indicated that the only way to correct that type
of misunderstanding would be to ask the person calling to go
into City Hall and review, with a Staff inember, the Zoning Mapo
Chairperson Harris wanted to know if something could be mailed
to a person requesting zoning information, showing them the
zonings near them•
Mr. Boardman indicated that an abundance nf requests come_ into
City Hall each day, and to do that type of mailing would be quite an
additional expenditure just for mailing costs•
Chairperson indicated that the present way the zoning information
calls were being handled was not adequate•
fir. Boardman felt that the number of complaints received compared
to the amount of information that went out of City Hall each day
was relatively small•
Mr• Boardman indicated that it seemed that the main area o�F
misunderstanding was in the area of requests for zoning
information. He went on to say that the prcblem could be
caused by some Real Estate Agent telling a perspective buyer
that he had talked to City Hall and had been told that the
lots were zoned whatever.
Chairperson Narris suggested that when a person wo�ld call
City Nall to request information on zonings that the person
be requested to go to City Hall and discuss their question
with someone who could explain the exact zonings in the
particular area • Chairperson Harris then asked Mr. Boardman
if this procedure could be imp7.emented.
Mr• Boardman said that the requests for zoning information
could 6e handled as outlined by Chairperson Harris.

��rm�`�"rrm nc •e�v nnroem'rnnr ♦nnt vTnir FnA orCR_
Mr= Boardman indicated that at the time the Beer Ordinance
was reviewed, the City Attorney suggested that such notification
should not be a condition of the licensing but should be a
condition of the aoning• Therefore, it was not written into
the Licensing Ordinance•
Mr. Boardman indicated that at the present time Staff was
working with the City Attorney on the conditions for
notifications. He requested that the PZanning Commission table
the item until Staff received further response from the
City Attorney-
Mr• Peterson asked if Chairperson Harris wanted the item
continued so it could go to other Commissions or did he
want the item back on the agenda•
f14TI0N by Mr- Peterson, seconded by Mrs• 5hea, that the
Planning Commission continue the consideraticn of the
recommendation from the Appeals Commission that property
owners of residential property within 20� feet of any
operation applying for beer, wine or 7iGUOr licenses be noti:fied
��' of this application until the first meeting of July so tfiat
each member Commission would have a chance to review it.
Chairperson Harris asked that the City Attorney research in
particular Item 11 in Ordinance �435, Section II —
Conditions of License:
11• Any police officer, or any properly designated
officer or employee of the City shall have the
right to enter, inspect, and search the premises
of the licensee during the business hours
without a warrant•
He requested that the City Attorney kept in mind the
Fourth Amendment to the U.S• Constitution:
^The right of the people to be secure in th�ir pe'rsons,
houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants
shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation, and particulariy describing the
place to be searched, and the person or things to be
seized•^
�
Planning Commission Meeting —�ay 4, �977 page 30
Chairperson Harris also requested the City Attorney to keep in
mind the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S� Constitution that
states:
^All persons born or naturalized in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States and of the State wherein they reside�
No State shall make or enforce any law which sha21
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any State deprive any person
of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws-"
Chairperson Harris felt that this Ordinance was unconstitutional•
Mr Peterson acknowledged to Chairperson Harris that he agreed
completely with his statement. He also said that the Ordinance
made references to persons 21 years of age and he indicated
that presently the 1ega1 age is 19 years• He indicated that
he thought the entire ordinance needed rewriting•
Chairperson Harris also didn't Zike the wording of Section 9—
Persons Ineligible for License• In particular he questioned
the second item ^Who is not of good moral character^. He wanted
to know the definition of ^good moral character^.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously• The consideration of the recommendation from the
Appeals Commission that property owners of resid2ntial property
within 200 feet of any operation applying for beer, wine, or
liquor licenses be notified of this application will be continued
at the first Planning Commission meeting in July•
Mrs. $chnabel asked Mr• 8oardman if he expected to have the
City Attorney's response before the first meeting in July•
Mr= Boardman indi,cated that he should have the City Attorney's
response before July•
Mr- Peterson indicated that on flonday, May 9, 1977, the Parks
and Recreation Commission would ba having a special meeting
regarding the Commission's goals and objectives and other forward
looking things and he extended an invitation to the Planning
Commission members to attend.
Chairperson Harris indicated to Mr. Peterson that he had a
petition for the Parks and Recreation Commission.
MOTION by Mr, peterson, seconded by Mrs- Schnabel, that the
Rianning Commission receive the petition and forward it on
to the Parks and Recreation Commission for inclusion on their
agenda. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
and the petition was received and forwarded•

� Planning Commission �eeting — May 4, 1977 Page 31
MOTION by Mr= Langenfeld, secanded 6y Mr• Bergman, to receive
the Park and Qpen Space Plan�
Mr•Boardman distributed a copy of the Plan to each member
of the Planning Commission indicating that Staff had completed
their version and that it was to go before the Parks and
Recreation Commission• He explained that there were a few
maps still missing from the document and that they would be
dist��ibuted to the Commission members in a few days-
Mrs= Schnabel wanted to know if a small map delineating
the neighborhoods would be included•
Mr. Boardman indicated that the particular map Mrs� Schnabel
had referred to in addition to several other maps would be
distributed in a few days=
Mr• Peterson pointed out to the Commission that the Parks and
Open Space Plan reflected the thinking of a�out 12� pe0��2 �h�t
had served on the neighborhood committees one year ago�
Mr• Boardman said Uhat the Parks and Open Space Plan was quite
�� an action plan• He saio that it made some very strong
recommendations, some of which might be controversial; but said
that it was a document that Staff feZt was essential to the
Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the future development
in the City of Fridley�
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously�
The Planning Commission received the Parks and Open Space plan�
5• CONTINUED� PROPOSED MAINTENANCE CODE�
Chairperson Harris indicated that this item would be deferred
until later in the meeting�
6• RECEIVE APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES= APRIL 26, 1977
MOTION by Mrs• Schnabel, seconded by Mro gergman, that the
Planning Commission receive the Appeals Commission Minutes of
April 26, 1977.
Mr. Langenfeld said that he really liked the way the Appeals
Commissio� minutes are set up regarding the Administrative
Staff Report• He indicated that it would save time if the
Planning tommission had a similar form to refer to on each
of the items discussed at the meetingso
��
Planning Commission Meetin4 — Mav 4, 1977 paqe 32
�rs• Schnabel indicated that the entire Appeals Commission �
felt that the Administrative Staff Report was a very helpful
tool=
Mr. Boardman asked Chairperson Harris if he felt an
Administrative Staff Report was actually needed or if the
oral presentation was adequate•
Chairperson Harris indicated that a Staff Report wauld be
helpful� He asked Mr. Boardman if th�re would be staff
available to make Administrative Staff Reports for the
Planning Commission•
Mr. Boardman indicated that he could possibly delegate the
task of producing Administrative Staff Reports to another
person, but that he personally would not have the time•
�
There was some discussion on the reasons for a rezoning
request to be before the Planning_Commission at the same
time that a variance request was before the Appeals
Commission•
Mr• Boerdman wanted to know if a rezoning was approved with a
certain thing in mind that would require a variance, would
the Planning Commission be putting a burden on the Appeals
Commission to grant the variance• ��
Chairperson Harris said that if the City Council approved
a rezoning as it stood, they would be giving taci� approval
to the variance request• .
Mr• Boardman indicated that the whole purpose of the
re-organization of the Planning Commission was done so that
all the information would come together at the Planning
Commission and they would make a full recommendation to the
City Council taking into consideration the variances and the
rezonings that would be needed• He felt that the position
of the Appeals Commission was a recommending commission for
the City Council, with their recommendations going through
the Planning Commission• He felt it was very essential that
sometimes the Appeals Commission would have action on a
variance request befora the Planning �ommission acted on
a rezoning request•
Mrs- 3chnabel indicated that sometimes the Appeals Commission
was very untomfortable handling a variance request on some
property before a rezoning had been approved. She felt that
when a petitioner went before the Appeals Commission for a
variance request with a plan in which there would be alternatives,
she didn't think it appropriate to hear the request before �
the Planning Commission had acted on the rezoning• �
Planning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Page 33
Mr• Boardman indicated that the Planning Commission should
� present to the City Council a"full picture^• He also felt
that the petitioner sho�ld have the ^full picture^ of
the different Commissions responses before he goes before
the City Council•
� �
��
Mrs. Schnabel and Mr. Boardrnan discussed for a short time
their reasons for and against the handling of a variance
request by the Appeals Commission before the Planning
Commission had approved the rezoning•
Mr• Boardman felt that a clear picture is not given to
City Council when too many different things on the same
property go to the City Council at different times•
Chairperson Harris said that the intent of the way the
Planning Commission was set up was to present a complete
package to City Council on a project with all the materials
and recommendations all together-
UPON A VOICE VOTE� all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously and the Planning Commission received the
Appeais Cormnission minutes of Aprii 26, 1977•
7.
MOTION by Mr• Langenfeld, seconded by �rs� Schnabel, tha�
the Planning Commission receive the Environmental_ Quality
Commission minutes of April 19, 1977•
Mr• Langenfeld indicated that the Environmental Commission
was going to embark on a Noice Pollution Ordinance very
shortly=
Mr• Langenfeld referred to the statement he made that he
would appear before City Council with the request by �eag�e
of Women Voters for the Environmental Quality Commission to
co-sponsor a public meeting on ^Energy^ on Monday,
April 25th•.••• Mr. Langenfeld indicated that the date was
actually May 2, 19?7=
Mr• Langenfeld told the Planning Commission about the May 2nd
meeting• He explained that he worked the Environrnental
Resources simulator• He expTained that the top of the machine
had knobs representing our means of energy and the bottom of
the machine had knobs representing our energy consumers {such
as automobiles, industries, agriculture, etc}- He explained
how he worked the machine and said that the goal was to try
to make the energy resources last for 500 years• He said that
after many tries, they made the resources last for about 683
years but that they fiad tompletely cut out automobiles,
airplanes, and air conditioners• He explained that the whole
purpose of that machine was to show that by merely conserving
on one thinq was certainly not goi�g to solve any problems-
Rlanning Commission Meeting — May 4, 1977 Pa e 34
Mrs. Schnabel said that she was pleased to see that the
Environmental Ruality Commission was going to foilow up on
the request from the Appeals Commission regarding the East
River Road traffic problems.
Mr. Langenfeld indicated that he had used the 7-1Z Store
to be located at 79th and East River Road as a^case^ item
to try to show the Environmental Ruality Commission how
i�volved just one particular problem could get. lie also
said that he hoped that the East River ftoad Project Committee
could provide the necessary information that had been requested•
UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting aye, the motion carried

Mr. Bovdresu stated he did not see this as a dupli,cation. It would work in association �F �
with Mr. 3�las' program: He sai.d Dir. S$las basica�ly had a traveling team which played
' throughout the Twin Cifi"e� and C�is instructional ie�gue, which w8s �int ccanpetitive,

vhen it should be more tnstxuctiortll> teaching the h#sics of a game and how to enjoy
' the sport. Between the ages af=12 an�et'up, there was enou�h canpetit3on. He thought
there was a reai feeling across th� c±wntry that s�netimes we puahed our children i.nto
' competition at soo early=an t�g�y espe"eially,in recreatian when the uitimate goal was
enjoyaaettt a�td hap�iness: He t�ughC t�e hockey, bsseball,,and footb.all programs already o<

be contingent upon rezoning of the property=

The South wall of 6548 Channel Road {which is the
garage wall}• is 16•2 feet from the living area of the
house to the South• The owner inCends to remove his
existing garage door and driveway, and build a new double
garage in the rear• The actual hazard of a garage is
greater than that of a family room• Therefore,
converting this garage to living area would reduce the
fire hazard exposure to the neighboring house to the
South- The typical separation of two living areas is
20 feet•
Mr. Bona, Mr• Holden, and the Appeals Commission
discussed Mr. Bona's plan• He had a picture of the home
as it presently appeared• Ne indicated on the picture the
area where he planned to build a double car garage.
Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr� Bona when he planned to
begin construction.
Mr. Bona replied that he would start in about six
months. He said that he would build the double car garage
first and then tfie family room•
Mr. Holden indicated that the two projects would have
to be done at the same time; or at least within a short time
of each other.
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that the intent of
reo,uiring the simultaneous construction would be so the
requestor would not have two garages at the same time•
Mr. Bona indicated to the Appeals Commission that the
present driveway and.curbing would be removed soon and the
driveway would be moved to the new position.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW=
A survey of houses on similar sized lots on East River
Road shows the following sized houses: 7155, 24' x 3b';
71B1, 24' x Z8'; 7201, 24' x 32'; 727,5, 25' x 41'• The
respective fioor areas are 864, 672, 768, 1,�25 square feet.
{Note that these are original house sizes before any
additions}. The proposed building site is not bordared
immediately by any deveZoped lots-
f1re Doyle, Mr. Holden, and the Appeals Commission reviewed
the proposed house pJ.ans.
Mr. Doyle explained to the Commission that Mr. 0`Quinn
was planning to buy the home through the MHFA Program which
was a program designed specifically for young people who
didn't have super incomes and were buyzng their first home.
He said that in this Program, the buyer was limited to a
maximum sale price of $37,500•
Chairwoman Schnabel wented to k�ow how it would effect
the people if at the time they receive the loan they qualified
but then their incomes increase; and what if at a later date
the people built an addition onto their homes that would
increase the value of the home•
�
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 10� 1977 Pa e 15
Mr• Doyle indicated that the program had no provisions Sa`
� to increase the hou�e payments after the home had been
purchased• He said that this Program was not like the old
FHA 235 Program. He said that this Program was set up in
such a way that it takes very,.very responsible peo�leo He
said that the people ?n the Program would not be going into
the homes with �0 down-
Mr• Doyle explained to the Appeals Commission that the
big problem that this Program had run into were two-fold�
a} Finding people that would fall into the income
b�acket-
b} Einding some place where they could build the
homes in decent neighborhoods and still keep the
price down•
Mrs• Gabel indicated that she had talked to a reaitor
who was familiar with that Program and he had said that the
requirements for the Program were very strinqent and was
not an easily obtainable loan-
Mr• Doyle indicated of all the people that apply for
a loan under this Program, about one in fifteen qualify�
Mra Doyle indicated to the Appeals Commission that the
� proposed house would be 960 square feet� He said that the
lot was not as exper:sive as a typical F�idley lot. Ne
indicated that the proposed lot was valued at 57,0�0�
Chairwoman Schnabel said that she thought the last
50 foot lot sold in Riverview Heights area was valued a*
$12,00�.
Mrs• Gabel wanted to know how the home was to be
located on the lot. She asked if there was going to be
space left for the building of a garage in the future=
Mr. Doyle said that space for a future garage was
going to be allowed for.
Mr. Doyle indicated that the home he proposed to build
was very typical to the homes in the Riverview Heights area.
Chairwoman Schnabel wanted to know how soon Mr• Doyle
intended to start building, if the requests were approvedo
Mr. Doyle said that he hoped to start within the month-
Mr. Doyle indicated th�t he felt that it would be the
buyers intent to bUild a garage in the future.
S,� APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 10, Z977 Rage 16
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that it was the City's
main concern with garages was to provide some type of storage
area for the accessory items that people accummulate in
addition to the cars• She said that in terms of visual
aesthetics it would be better to have a 9arage. She said
that over the past years the Commission had becpme aware
that with the increase in costs, for some people it was not
financially realistic to put a garage on the house at the
time of construction=
Mr• Plemel wanted to know if Mr- Doyle was putting
in a paved driveway.
Mr• Doyle said that he would be putting in an asphalt
driveway along side the home.
Mr. Tomczyk of 3327 Pierce Street NE showed co�cern
about Mr. Doyle's plan to run the asphalt driveway from the
house all the way to Easi River Road. He wanted to know
what Mr- Doyle was planning to do regarding the easement left
for Meyers Street•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that at the present time
there appeared to be no plans to put in the street. She said
that it could be dependent on what the County planned to do
with East River Road.
Mr= Holden indicated that it seemed that the most
logical thing to do with this easement would be to make
it south yard area•
Mr� Tomczyk said that that would mean there would 6e
about nine turnoffs from East River Road•
Mr• Holden indicated that he agreed with the fact that
it would be nice to make Meyers Street into an access road;
but he said that the question that was being considered was
relative to the house size and having a garage or noto
Chairwoman Schnabel agreed with Mr. Tomczyk that she
would like to see all tha driveways onto East River Road
eliminated and try to put a service road of some type that
would be the ingress and egress on East River Road=
Mr• Tomczyk indicated that he owned lots 5, 6, & 1�
and he had no plans to develop these lots.
�
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 1�� 1977 Page 17
Mr. Tomczyk felt that it was wrong to have all the
� driveways onto East River Road. He thou9ht it would look
nice� if a side road or service road of some type could 6e
put in and have only one access onto East River Road.
Mr• Barna indicated that everybody in that particular
block would have to petition to t�e City to install a
service road•
There was much discussion regarding different ways
to go about getting some type of service road put into that
area.
In answer to a questien asked by Mr• Plemel, Mr- Doyle
indicated that the actual position of the driveways would have
to be discussed with the future owners of the lots.
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that according to the
code book, the paving required to provide a parking stall
must not be in the front yard•
Mr. Doyle indicated that the parking stall was beyond
the front yard, alorg S1G2 the house•
Mrs• Gabel �sked Mr. 0'Qui�n what his future plans
were regarding a garage-
Mr• 0'Quinn indicated that he did plan to build a
garage in the r"uture ard that he presently had one car.
Mr. Barna asked Mr� Doyle if he planned to landscape
and sod these lots•
Mra Doyle said that landscaping would be the
responsibility of the owners-
Mrs• Gabel wanted to know if the price of the home
included appliances and carpetino.
Mr• Doyle said that it did nat include the appliances;
but that he had offered to sell the buyers the appliances at
his cost• Ne said that the price did include carpeting in
the livingroom, the hallway, and the three bedrooms• It also
included vinyl flooring in the kitchen, eating area, bathroom
and entry area•
Chairwoman Schnabel indicated that the code required
Mr. Doyle to either seed or sod the property= She said that
if he didn't, he would be required to obtain another variance-
Mr. Barna indicated that the
� be done either by the home owner
would have to be done•

Chairwoman Schnabel asked Mr. 0'Quinn if he had anything
to add to the diseussion.
Mr• 0'Quinn had nothing further to add-
Mr. Barna asked ifi Mr. 0'Quinn was aware of the traffic
probiems on East River Road•
Mr• 0'Quinn indicated that he was very aware of the
traffic problems on East River Road.
There was more discussion regarding the MNFA loans
and the types of homes that qualified�
MOTION by Mr� Barna, seconded by Mrs. Gabel, to close
the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, aIl vating aye, the
motion carried unanimously• The Public Hearing was declared
close at 10:25 P.M.
Mr. Plemel indicated that he felt that this was a good
use of the property. He said that since the State was
encouraging this type of Program, he w�uld like to have
Fridley have room for these homes.
Mrs. Gabel also felt that with the rising costs of
construction, it would be hard to deny someone the right
to own a home just because they could not afford to build
the garage at that time, She said that she firmly believed
that the home owners would build a garage when it became
economically feasible•
Mr• Holden read to the Commission a section of the
Zoning portion of the City Code {2�5•152, the General
area of Lot Requirements}•
Mrs• Gabel felt thet that portion of the City Code
tied into the Housing Survey that was conducted• It was
the intent to provide housing at different income levels.
She felt that this request presented an excellent opportunity
to do so•
Mr. Holden asked the Commission what their feelings
were on the Hillcrest Avenue Vacation situation, basically
how to proceed on it. Mainly, in regards to the fact that
Hillcrest Avenue was present on the Iand and what should be
done with it•
Mrs. Gabel pointed out that if the City was to put in
a road, it would cost the homeowners money-
There was much discussion on different ways to handle the
idea of a service road in regards to the fact that a
vacation request would be needed or not and how to go about
petitioning for some type of a solution to the problem of
having a direct driveway onto East River Roado

the Public Hearing on the Rezoning Request, ZOA �77-03, by
C• D• Chandler. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson
Harris declared the public hearing open at 7:58 P•M-
Mr• Boardman explained that there mere three lots involved
in the request• He said that Lots 2 and 3 were zoned C-1S and
Lot 1 was zoned R-1• He said that the request was to rezone
all three lots to R-3 so that the lots can be used for the
construction of a row-house development andlor townhouses•
Mr• Boardman continued to explain that Mr• Chandler had proposed
building a certain type of dwellings, however, bi6h that
particular design he could only fit six units on the property
while the square footage of the property would allow the
construction of eight units• Therefore, he said that
Mr• Chandler decided to first get a rezoning of the property and
then he would proceed with the planning of exactly what
would be built on the property•
Mr. Chandler af 1132❑ Mississippi Drive and Mr• Ta16ot of
Calhoun Realty were present•
Mr• Chandler explained to the Commission that he had owned the
property for about 15 years and was now trying to build
something on the property in order to get back his investment•
He had pictures of the property, surrounding areas and buildings,
and the types of units he was contemplating- He indicated that
he felt that what he planned for the property would be a good
use for the particular lots and location•
Mrs• Luckow of 161 - 64 1/2 Way N•E• wanted to know if
Mr• Chandler had any defi�ite plans of what he was going to
build on the Lots and if they would be for rental or re-sale•
She also wanted to know what size the units would be•
Mr• Chandler indicated that at that point he had no definite
plans• He pointed out that whatever he would do would meet
all the existing codes• He wasn't sure if the property would be
for rental purposes or sold• He also said that he wasn't sure
of the size of the units•
P�ANNING COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 4
Mr• Talbot of Calhoun Realty explained that everything they
had proposed to that point in time had not met various codes
and would have needed nemevoas variances• He indicated that
the owner had decided to first get the rezoninq and then get together
with the City and decide exactly what could be built on the
property that would meet all existing codes•
Mr• Fred Foster of 6441 Riverview Terrace expressed
disappointment that he had not been notified of the Pu61ic
Hearing especially since they would be greatly effected
by the proposed plan since they lived on the carner of
64 1/2 Way and Riverview Terrace� He also indicated that
he was greatiy disappointed in the present multiple dwellings
in the area• He said that the people living in the apartments
in the area didn't pay attention to pos]�tlspeed signs; he said
that there wasn�t adequate off-street parking so that cars
were always parked up and down the streets• He continued by
saying that the nearby apartments were not neat and were not
kept up• He said there was always garbage around the yard
and most were detrimental to the area• Mr. Foster felt that
with the taxes he had to pay he didn't want to see any more
apartment buildings in the area•
Chairperson Harris tried to explain to Mr• Foster why he
hadn't been notified of the Public Hearing� He said that
City Hall could have slipped up and not sent him a notice•
However, he cuntinued by saying that there had been a sign
posted on the property indicating that there was to be a
Public Hearing on the property• He said that City Hall most
definitely tried to be sure that everyone that would be
concerned or effected by the rezoning was notified• He
apologized for the oversight•
Mr• Dennis Phitzner of 6430 Riverview Terrace agreed with what
Mr• Foster had said re9arding the_present apartment buildings
and the people living therein• He felt that more apartment
buildings would only give more headaches to the home omners in
the area•
Mr• Luckow of 161 - 64 1/2 Way N•E- questioned the construction
of a seven-unit row house on the three lots- He wanted to
know how many square feet would be far off-street parking•
Chairperson Harris said that an off-street parking stall was
10 x 2D feet or 200 square feet•
nrs• Schnabel indicated that the current ordinance required
off-street parking• She said that 1-1/2 stalls had to be
allowed for each one-bedroom unit and two stalls for each
two-bedroom unit and 2-1/2 stalls for each three bedroom unit•
PLANNING COMMI3SION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 5
Mr- Chandler indicated to the audience that he was requesting
a higher and better use for the property•
Mrs• Foster indicated that all the children played in a
park located near the lots in question• She said that the
park mas the only play area for the children and she couldn't
see bringing in seven more families, with children- She
said what the area really needed was more recreation area
and not more apartments•
Mrs• Luckow wanted clarification as to exactly what could
be constructed on a C-1S Lot•
Chairperson Harris read to the audience exactly what would
be allowed on a C-1S Lot•
At that point Mr• Boardman said that on C-1S properties,
160 foot frontage was required• He said that the �ommercial
property did not meet that requirement• He said that the
Commercial only had about 1/Z of the required square footage•
Mr� Chandler indicated that what he had been told by the
Building Inspector did not agree with what Mr• Boardman had
said• He said that he would take it back to Court• He
said that he had an investment of over 540,000 and he wasn't
going to put up with the City condemning his property from
any use•
Mr• Bergman wanted to know if Lnts 2 and 3 mere ever large
enough to build as C-1S•
Mr• Boardman indicated that Lots 2 and 3 were never large
enough to meet the square footage requirements to build as
C-1T• He said that they could be buildable mith a variance-
Mr• Boardman went on to exp�a4n that there was an exclusion
in the R-1 District code that would allow an R-1 lot to be
used as a parking 1ot by getting a Special Use Permit•
�He said that together With Lots 2 and 3, Lot 1 could be used as
parking area, therefo�e, making lots 2 and 3 buildable C-1S
Lots-
Mr� Chandler indicated that his request was a very natural
request and it would be an upgrade for the property• He asked
them to rea�ize that the entire street had apartment buildings•
Mr• 8 Mrs• Foster indicated that they would like to see some
plans•
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 6
Mr• Chandler said that he didn't have any definite style plans
at that time• He indicated that whatever was planned for
those lots, that all City Codes would be met• He said that
the first thing he wanted to do was to get a rezoning of
the property and that he would proceed from that point•
Mr•� Foster asked Mr• Chandler that if he got the lots rezoned
to R-3, would he try to get eight units on the property•
Mr• Boardman indicated that if Mr• Cha�dler had the right
design, that eight units could be constructed on that property•
Mrs• Foster asked if Mr- Chandler planned for a yard area•
Mr• Chandler said that he would have all the required setbacks-
Mrs• Lukow wanted to know if provisions would be made for
children•
Mr. Boardman indicated that there were no requirements to
provide play areas for the children•
thair�erson Harris made refe�ence to the�Pl"at-as to the
�B���w�eot aiiey thai was�'located=�ext to 64 1/2 �ay•
Mr• Foster indicated that when they moved into the area, they
had a private drive-way onto East River Road• He said that
now the street had taken up the alley•
Chairperson Harris manted to know how much of the property
� in question had been taken for the East River Road and
Mississippi Street intersection improvement•
Mr. Chandler indicated that approximately 30 feet had been
taken from both ends of the lot•
Chairperson Harris asked if the property would have been a
leqal C-1S lot before the condemnation•
Mr• Boardman said that even before the condemnation, the lots
were not buildable C-1S lots• He said that very probably the
�ity would have HAD to grant a variance since Mr• Chandler
would have had just cause for a hardship•
Mr• Langenfeld asked Mr• Chandler if his plans were speculative
at that time•
Mr• Chandler said that he had a contract for the purchase of
the land if and when the property Was rezoned•
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 7
Chairperson Harris asked Mr• Chandler if his contractor would
draw a site plan•
Mr• thandler indicated that he fiad already drawn up three site
plans and had gotten no results• He said that they really
needed the rezoning first•
Mr• Boardman explained the other requests that Mr• Chandler
had made and what had happened on each of them• He said that
the last plan he saw was for five tma-bedroom units and
three three-bedroom units•
Mr• Boardman indicated that the plan would be for a two-story
unit in answer to a question by Mr• Foster•
Mr• Phitzner didn't like the idea that the City_put in a
that was noZ and`would not be larg� enough to handle the
in the_area•_ AlsB`he said that:t�� Perk was located on a
street that �as basically dangerous due`to the a�undance
of treffic tontri5uted-to by the apartm�nt �cm.�pb���s:in
the area• - -
park
children
At that point, Chairperson Harris said that he considered this
request a major rezoning and that it was not unusual to require
a site plan• He indicated that he mould not be able to vote on
the request until he saw a site plan•
Mr• Langenfeld wanted to knom, if the rezoning was granted,
when Mr• Chandler would plan to start construction•
Mr• Chandler responded that actually he had no idea but
figured probably sometime in the Fall•
Mr- Langenfeld explained to the audience and Mr- Chandler that
the Commission had to make their decisions based on the City
Codes and Ordinances• He said that in this case it should be
noted that the members of the Commission were very concerned
about the safety of the children in the area as mell as the
general safety of the public• He continued to say that they
had to keep in mind that the request was to rezone two lots
presently zoned C-1S and one lot zoned R-1 to three lots
zoned R-3• He said that it should be kept in mind that any
of the pre�iously stated commercial enterprises could be
constructed on the lots in question• He said that he only e:��
made the statement for informati�e purposes-
Mrs• Schnabel wanted to know Mr• Chandler's explanation of
Row Houses and Townhouses-
�
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 8_
Mr� Chandler first wanted to explain that what Was stated on
the Public Hearing notice was not actualiy what was being
planned- He said that the notices had been sent out before
he had withdrawn his initial plan• Mr• Chandler then explained
that he felt the definition of the two housing types were
interchangeable•
Mrs• Schnabel indicated that she did not feel comfortable
giving approvals for rezoning without seeing a site plan•
Mr• Talbot asked for verification as to exactly what the
Commission Wanted in regards to a site plan•
Chairperson Harris shoWed Mr• Talbot an example of what
he wanted-
At that point, Mr• Talbot showed the Commission the site plan
that had originally been drawn up before they decided to
first rezone the property and then draw up plans that would
meet all City Codes•
Mrs- Foster asked Mr• Chandler if he could try to plan the
units so that the traffic from the units did not go to
Riverview Terrace.
Mr- Chandler felt that it would be impossible to say what the
traffic would decide to do-
Mrs• Fos��e- indicated that she felt the City should buy
these lots•
Mr• Chandler said that he didn't care who bought the lots•
Mr- Langenfeld asked Mr• Chandler if he had considered putting
up single family dwellings on the lots•
Mr• Chandler indicated that the lots were too expensive to
try to sell single family dwellings•
Mr• Boardman explained that when they were going through the
layout of the praperty with a particular type of construction,
they could only get six units on the property without a
variance• The owners of the property felt that six units would
not pay for the property•
PtANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 9
Mr• Bergman explained that he thought Mr• Chandler would like
to do something with his property after many years of tax
paying and ownership• However, he felt that the neighbors also
had justifiable fears of more children in the area ,
inadequate playgrounds and more traffic problems• He said
that it did 6other him to have a plan submitted that would
require variances• He felt that if the best use of that property
was for townhouses, then the pro6lem that should be dealt
with would be one of density•
Mr• Chandler pointed out that the site plan before the
Commission was not the plan that they were going mith�
He said that the new plan that would be drawn up would
meet all requirements that the City needed•
Mr• Bergman said that a request for a plan did nat imply
approval even if the plan did meet codes• He said that
6asically the request at hand was for rezoning and the site
plan would not commit the owner to do exactly as the site
plan stated•
Mr• Boardman indicated that it also would not bind him to
that site plan•
Mrs• Schnabel pointed out to the audience that if the
rezoning was granted, that any requests for variances would
have to go before the Appeals Commission• She said that
at that time the neighbors would again be able to express
their feelings in regard• to the number of units and the
layout of the units• Also she said that the requester would
have to have concrete plans before he cauld appear before
the Appeals Commissian•
Mr- Bergman indicated that the Commission was dealing with
Mr• Chandler regarding a request for a rezaning• However,
he said that once the rezaning was granted, theywaauNd��a�e
ta deal mith the developer and he could come up with anything
within the ordinance for that zone and the Planning
Commission would have no control• He said that the developer
could have a whole different picture as to what he wanted
to do with the lots•
Mr• Langenfeld said that he understood pr• Chandler's position
as far as he had property that he mas paying taxes on•
However, he said that he could not vote for a rezoning
until he knew exactly what was going to be done with the
Lots in question•
At that point there was much discussion amongst the
Planning Commission as far as putting stipulations on the
rezoning and whether the stipulations could be enforced•
PLANNIN6 COMMISSION MEETING — MAY 18, 1977 Page 10
Chairperson Harris said that stipulations could be enforced
as far as the location of the units on the property, the
number of units, and the access to the units•
Mr• Chandler felt that putting stipulations on a rezoning was
not part of the Flanning Commission's jurisdiction• He felt
that since the rezoning would be an improvement to the property
and that as long as they met all the City Codes and
requirements, the Commission should not be able to put any
stipulations on the rezoning request• He continued to say
that the Planning Commisssion was not putting enough confidence
in the City Planning Department• He felt that most of the
issues that were being brought into the rezoning request
were already controlled by the City �odes.
Mrs• Schnabel indicated that she was amare of both sides of the
issue- She said thet the residents in the area definitely
had to be concerned abaut the safety of the children and that
they also had a definte traffic problem• However she said that
if the property were to remain commercial, it would result in
a hardship for Mr• Chandler in terms of access to and from the
property•
Mrs• Foster said that she felt adequate off-street parking
HAD to be required•
Mrs• Schnabel said that the current ordinance required off-
street parking•
In response to Mr• Bergman's question regarding the zoning
af the neighboring areas, Mr• Boardman ex.a�aY�ff� all the
zonings in the area• „
