Mr. Sghroeder sated they are looking at four possible alignments, possibly taking up to three businesses. He noted that he was unaware until tonight that the Planning Commission took the position that C.R. #116 should intersect with Highway #10. Chairperson Bawden stated that the Planning Commission was originally looking at conceptual things_until a memorandum was generated giving cost comparisons, etc., forcing the Commission to deal:with this now when it was not the intent. Mr. S~hroeder discussed the non-appraisal process (relocation analysis), stating that it was not meant:to skew figures. Comrhissioner Hendriksen declared that it should be intuitively obvious that the east end was less desirable because of the need to acquire property. Chairperson Bawden stated that this Commission will not make the final decision on the bridge location, that it will be based on traffic patterns and various other things, and that is the reason they should not have been in this detail to begin with. He stated they must decide where to go based on good Planning, adding that land costs can change dramatically in the future. Motion by Commissioner Holland and seconded by Commissioner Deemer to use the amended portion of Terry Hendriksen's memorandum, entitled "Benefits of the Planning Commission Alternative,'' as their formal recommendation for land use and transportation to be submitted to City Council along with the map. Further Discussion: Chairperson Bawden directed Staff to draft the changes to the remainder of the memorandum and submit it to City Council as a subcommittee memo. MotiOn carried.

In reference to the map, Commissioner Deemer pointed out that there are 20 acres of commercial property on the east boundary of the City that is missing, He also reaffirmed the following changes to the map: St. Anthony Gun Club to be depicted as "Quasi-Public Open Space," delete the COmmercial property in the northern part of the City adjacent to Armstrong, and display Sunwood Drive accurately. Case#5: Proposed Regulations for Accessory Apartments Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Staff has drafted an ordinance to establish regulations for accessory apartments in the City. She advised that a public hearing is scheduled for February. Ben Moss, 8320 - 157th Lane N.W. - referenced the Purpose outlined in the ordinance, stating that there was nothing in the document which determines low income and moderate income. He discfi_ssed the income guidelines used by Anoka-Hennepin,Schoot District #11. Co~ssioner Holland stated that reference to income is inappropriate and should not be included. /',,ir. Moss also felt the ordinance should set some guidelines for hard-surface walkways to the apartment entrance and lighting which doesn't create a nuisance to the neighbors. Commissioner Deemer stated it would be difficult to regulate house lighting. Planning Commission/January 3, 1995 Page 8 of 10
