Commission Business <br />Commissioner Bauer asked if there is no action taken, does it remain 10 acre lot requirement. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated it would remain Central Rural Reserve, which would be in conflict <br />with the current Comprehensive Plan. The City would need to request an amendment to the <br />Comprehensive Plan with the Metropolitan Council. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the number of one acre lots already in existence in the zoning <br />district. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that the reason for the 2.5 acre lot minimum was to prevent the <br />owners of the larger parcels from having one acre lot developments right next to them. <br />Vice Chairperson Van Scoy stated another criteria in combining the different lot sizes besides the <br />size of the lot, is to keep this area outside of the MUSA. <br />Commissioner Field clarified that the only properties affected by this change are those five acres <br />or larger in size that have a potential for subdivision. <br />Motion by Commissioner Dunaway, seconded by Commissioner Field to recommend the City <br />Council approve the Ordinance to amend the Official Zoning Map as presented. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Vice Chairperson Van Scoy, Commissioners Dunaway, Field, <br />Bauer, Brauer, and Schiller. Voting No: None. Absent: Chairperson Levine. <br />Case #4: Request for Interim Use Permit for a Go Cart Track at 14550 Armstrong <br />Boulevard; Case of Karl Janzen <br />Public Hearing <br />Vice Chairperson Van Scoy called the public hearing to order at 7:51 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Senior Planner Gladhill presented the Staff Report. <br />Citizen Input <br />Karl Janzen, 9131 178 Avenue NW, and Tim Marchiafava 19119 Waco Street, Elk River the <br />applicants stated they started looking into a Go -Cart track about 18 months at a different site that <br />didn't work out with the owner.
