NOTE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES The Commission noted the following: 1) Park and Recreation regular meeting minutes dated December 14, 1989. COMMISSION BUSINESS Case #1: Request For Sketch Plan Review Of Hauser Addition; Case of Hauser Properties: Chairman Zimmerman stated that the proposed plat of Hauser Addition consists of resubdividing Lot 3, Block 1, Ramsey HY-10 into 3 lots. The Commission proceeded to review the, City Engineer's review of the proposed sketch plan dated December 27, 1989. Mr. Banwart noted that in October of 1988, the City acted upon Mr. Albinson's request and rezon -ed the subject property to B-1 which provides for a minimum lot size of 1/2 acre. This action was not correct; the City should have rezoned the property to Rural Business which prOVides for 1 acre minimum lot sizes because sanitary sewer and municipal water are not available to it. Mr. Banwart also noted that in B-1 zones, lot coverage is limited to 35% and oven if the B-1 zoning were acceptable in this case, the proposed development on the property (4,000 square foot liquor store) and related requirements appear to total approximately 50% lot coverage. To exceed lot coverage would require a variance and it is not believed that the property owners could demonstrate the hardship required for issuance of a variance. Brad Dahl}was present and stated that the applicants believe what they are proposing for the development of the liquor store will meet the 35% maximum lot coverage requirement. Mr. Banwart noted that there are other B-1 zones in the City that are located outside the urban area for which City Staff will be initiating a rezoning to Rural Business; it is unfortunate that the subject property was rezoned to B-l, but the City's intent is to serve unsewered areas with Rural Business zoning. Mr. BanWart stated that City Staff and City Council have no objection to a liquor store being dev01oped at this particular location; City Staff is concerned with the incorrect zoning and because of that there is a conflict in minimum lot size -- 1/2 acre versus 1 acre. Lyle Heger was present and stated from a cost standpoint, it would be a problem to reconfigure the proposed plat with 1 acre minimum lot sizes. The Commission and Mr. Banwart noted that the subdivision is destined to be a minor shopping plaza no subdivision would be necessary if the liquor store were added to the existing building on the site to form an 'L' shape from Cty. Rd. #83 onto 146th. The Commission noted that a contiguous building versus several separate buildings would be more beneficial to the property owner from an aesthetic and land use aspect. Commissioner Deemer suggested that a possibility might be to zone the parcel Planned Unit Development and develop a contiguous plaza with zero lot lines.
