Some of the Councilmembers wanted to keep the residential district designations as they are today. Consideration should be given to updating the designation as proposed, but adding a grandfather clause for existing homes, or considering using an overlay approach. The major objection to changing to a designation of R-1 for all single-family districts, in or out of the MUSA, is the large lots within the MUSA area. Mayor Gamec left at 7:20 p.m., and Councilmember Zimmerman became Chairperson. Mr. Gordon pointed out that the zoning needs to match the Comprehensive Plan by the deadline of 9 months from the day the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. Subdivision 3: Conditional Use Permit Mr. Gordon explained that Conditional Use Permits are assigned to churches, parish houses and convents because they work well in residential neighborhoods. Consensus was to leave them as conditional uses. Work on the discrepancy in listing Commercial Horseboarding under Subdivision 3: Conditional Use Permit, and listing Noncommercial Horseboarding under Subdivision 2. Discuss Home Occupations in accordance with section 9.11.04 and add detail relating to code. Subdivision 5: General Residential Performance Standards B. Driveways and Access Roads Change language to include "al least one main thoroughfare through the development" each time the phrase appears. Change B.1.c. from 30 to 32 feet.

Discuss requiring developers to include fences in undeveloped lots as part of an agreement in purchasing a home on a busy street. Include wording relating to maintenance of fences.
