PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> 5.01: Public Hearing: Consider Actions to Allow Outside Storage at 6316 Highway 10 NW <br /> (Project No. 18-155); Case of Rocky Mtn Investment,LLC <br /> 1. Zoning Amendment to Rezone from R-1 Residential(MUSA)to E-1 Employment. <br /> 2. Conditional Use Permit to Allow Outdoor Storage as a Principal Use of the <br /> Property. <br /> 3. Variance to Allow a Reduced Setback for Outdoor Storage to Residentially Zoned <br /> Parcels. <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the Planning Commission reviewed a <br /> request for a Zoning Amendment related to the parcel generally known as 6316 Riverdale Drive <br /> NW(the "Subject Property")at their November 1,2018 meeting and recommended that the zoning <br /> remain R-1 Residential(MUSA). The request was subsequently reviewed by the City Council on <br /> November 13, 2018 and the City Council directed Staff to prepare an Ordinance to proceed with <br /> amending the zoning from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to E-1 Employment. The City Council <br /> acknowledged the concerns initially identified by Staff and the Planning Commission but also <br /> considered the realistic viability of a single-family home being constructed on the Subject <br /> Property. <br /> City Planner Anderson reported in addition to the Zoning Amendment, the City Council also <br /> directed Staff to proceed with preparing a case for consideration by the Planning Commission for <br /> a Conditional Use Permit to allow outside storage as a principal use on the Subject Property and a <br /> Variance to reduce the required setback of outside storage from adjacent residential <br /> properties. Ultimately, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re-guide the Subject Property from <br /> Low Density Residential to Business Park will also be necessary. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Commissioner VanScoy requested the applicant come forward to address the Commission. <br /> Greg Dahlheimer, 17224 172nd Ave SE in Big Lake, Minnesota, stated he owned a small lot and <br /> did not have any use for it. He reported Jeremy Anderson was his neighbor and was interested in <br /> purchasing the lot from him. <br /> Planning Commission/December 6,2018 <br /> Page 2of12 <br />
