zoning map has changed that commercial area from B-1 General Business to B-2 Highway Business. ~ Community Development Director Frolik also noted that Dr. Hartman of the veterinary clinic on Highway 10 was present at the previous meeting and suggested that animal clinics be added to the list of permitted uses on the highway corridor. The Planning Commission and City Staff agreed and the text was amended accordingly. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to City Council to adopt the text and map as proposed and amended, with the exception of the Pdvlyn Street area and the Holasek/Hamilton property. Community Development Director Frolik noted there was a gentleman in attendance about the Gun Club property, and noted this property has always been zoned R-1. She stated at some time the map was colored quasi-public, which is a designation Ramsey does not even have now, and when they do it will not be for this type of use. She also mentioned the performance standards for loading docks was erroneously omitted and will be added to the text with no changes. She stated they also will be fixing the wording on two employment districts, which stated you can have a retail or multi-car lot indoors. She indicated the wording now sounds like you cannot park any company vehicle outside overni~t, you can and that will be clarified. Chairperson Nixt reconvened the public hearing at 9:31 p.m. Francis Welte, 16051 Alpine Street, thanked the Commission for making them conforming again. Business owner at 9549 Highway 10, thanked the Commission for re-zoning them as a conforming use. An unidentified resident indicated he understands the Gun Club is grandfathered, but he appreciates the City wanting to move it to light residential. He stated although the City Council ignored the Planning Commission on the first issue, maybe they will listen now. Joe Nathe, owner of Riverside Farms with his brothers, questioned why they were rezoned from Commercial to R-1. He stated if he built a house on Highway 10, he does not think anyone would want to live there. Community Development Director Frolik stated there is a pattern of residential zoning along the river. Del Fredricks stated he appreciates the low density on the Gun Club, but it concerns him how it is depicted on the map. It is already R-1 and they are re-zoning it R-1. He questions what re- zoning means. He stated the Gun Club has been there a long time and there is probably a lot of lead on the property. He indicated it is outside the tMUSA and will have to have a well. He asked if this would get platted now, and if it would be cleaned up before platting.
