Dom Law Firm, Ltd. <br />Wilb~ F. Dom, Jr., Attorney at Law 12301 Central Avexme Northeast, Blaine, Minnesota 55434 <br />Telephone: (612) 754-1500 Fax: (612) 754-1044 <br /> <br />FAX TRANSMISSION COVER SHEET <br /> <br />Date: December 3~ 1998 <br /> <br />To: Mr. James Norman, City Administrator; Ms. Sylvia Frolik, Zoning <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Subject: Conformance of Zoning Ordinances to Comp l~lans <br /> <br />Fax Number: 42%5543 <br /> <br />From: Dom Law Firm, Ltd. <br /> <br />Number of Pages including Cover Sheet: 9 <br /> <br />Comments: Mr. Norman and Ms. Frolik: <br /> <br />Enclosed is a correspondence addressed to the City Council I have faxed a copy to <br />City Attorney Goodrich. <br /> <br />The gist of this correspondence is that it is my opinion that the law requiring <br />conformance of zoning ordinances to comp plans refers to the new plans presently <br />being eol~sidered; not the existing pla~t,. <br /> <br />While this conflicts with the opinion of Kennedy & Graven, the primary purpose of <br />the Kennedy & Graven opinion dealt with "automatic zoning", and the research <br />into the area of zoning ordinance compliance with the comp plan may have been <br />slightly incomplete. <br /> <br />I am sure that City staffwould want to do what the law requires, and that having <br />conflicting opinions from different attorneys does not help matters. I would hope <br />that you would want to have the matter reviewed by your own counsel before acting <br />on the Arcon re-zoning request. <br /> <br />Bill Dorn <br /> <br /> <br />
