Commissioner Nixt also recommended that the permit require certification by the Cat Fanciers Association. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the CFA is a voluntary organization and suggested requiring, at a minimum, a yearly inspection by a veterinarian. The Commission agreed with Zoning Administrator Frolik's suggestion. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that item #1 will be changed to read that the permit will be granted to the property owner, not to the property. Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Nixt, to recommend that City Council approve Bonita Cobey's request for a home occupation permit based on the findings of fact and amended per the Commission's discussion. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Johnson, Nixt, Dempsey, and Kociscak. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Jensen and Wivoda. COMMISSION BUSINESS Case #3: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Northfork Itasca Point; Case of North Fork, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that North Fork, Inc. is requesting preliminary plat approval of another portion of the Northfork P.U.D located on the north side of Lake Itasca. The plat is to be named Northfork Itasca Point and consists of approximately 35 acres proposed to be platted into seven single family lots and permanent open space to be deeded to the Homeowner's Association in the form of an outlot. This plat is in the shoreland overlay district for Lake Itasca and as such, the lots are required to be at least 80,00 square feet in size and 200 feet wide at the road frontage or building setback line. In addition, the riparian lots or lots adjacent to the lake (4,5,6) are also to be 200 feet wide at the water frontage and provide for a 200 foot structure setback from ordinary high water mark and a septic system setback of 150 feet from ordinary high water mark. All of the lots meet the shoreland regulations with one exception. Together, all of the lots total more than 1,400 (7 x 200) feet of fi'ontage at the street frontage or building setback lines, but on a lot by lot basis, Lot 5 is shy of the 200 mark. Earlier this evening the Board of Adjustment granted a variance to the lot width on Lot 5. Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that the lots are proposed to receive public access from the extension of a cul-de-sac east off of Andrie Street. The cul-de-sac length is approximately 1,000 feet and a variance to the 600 foot maximum dead-end street length was also approved by the Board of Adjustment earlier this evening. The preliminary plat proposes to name the street Itasca Point Road, which is a deviation from the City's grid system and requires Council approval. Planning Commission/May 4, 1999 Page 6 of 11
