TO: PLANNING & ZONING <br /> <br />FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR LLOYD SCHNELLE <br /> <br />DATE: JANUARY 7, 1980 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />DONALD VOLNER REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT <br />A GREENHOUSE IN A R-1 RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT <br />(City Code Reference - 170.016) <br /> <br />Address of property involved: 8121 154th Avenue N.W[ <br />Legal Description: Lot 4, Block 13, Whispering Pines Estates <br /> <br />This applicant has paid the $50.00 fee for Conditional Use Permit <br />Hearing. The public hearing notice was published 12/28/79 in the <br />Anoka County Union. Mailed notices have been sent to adjacent <br />property owners within 350 feet of the property, December 26, 1979. <br /> <br />Mr. & Mrs. Volner are in the process of purchasing this property <br />and it is apparently contingent on this conditional use permit <br />being granted. <br /> <br />The nature of the request is to construct a 100' X 24' greenhouse <br />with 2" X 4" pole construction, six feet high side walls, eight foot <br />pitch, to be covered inside and out with clear plastic, approximately <br />10 inches of styrofoam insulation in the side walls, a corrogated clear <br />plastic fiberglas roof, and heated about 1/3 of the winter with natural <br />gas. <br /> <br />This is to be used mainly as a hobby, however, they do intend to sell <br />plants.at "plant parties" and there will be very few people coming to <br />the residence to purchase plants. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />The recommendation is not to grant this conditional use because of <br />concern that it is quite a large greenhouse and could be hard to control <br />and become a blight to the neighborhood. If this is approved, it will <br />need very strict regulations to govern the activity. <br /> <br />See d~aft of agreement attached. <br /> <br /> <br />
