residential lots to 135 and retain a strip of industrial property adjacent to County Road #56. Council directed that the revised rezoning be forwarded to the Planning Commission for additional review. The Planning Commission conducted another public hearing on March 4, 1996, and is recommending approval of the proposed modification to the rezoning configuration for Pondview. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt Resolution g96-03-050 to rescind Resolution g96-01-027 and adopt amended Findings of Fact g0395 relating to a request from Good Value Homes to rezone certain property from Industrial to R-1 Urban Residential.

Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to introduced an ordinance to rezone certain property in Section 27 from Industrial to R-1 Urban Residential. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #5: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Pondview; Case of Good Value Homes Zoning Administrator Frolik pointed out this is a preliminary plat approval request of the property Council just voted to rezone. Along with the rezoning modification, the Developer had made some design modifications to the plat which consisted of dead ending 147th Avenue at the east boundary of the industrial parcel and extending Limonite Street north to 149th Lane in Peltzer Addition as a through street and access to C.S.A.H. #56. The developer's reasons for these modifications were to delay connecting 147th with C.S.A.H. #56 until such time as the commercial property develops to allow some flexibility in the development of the commercial parcel and access to it. The through street to 149th and C.S.A.H. #56 provides an altemate ingress/egress to the plat from #56 until such time as the commercial parcel develops and the extension of 147th to #56 is completed. Council had unanimously agreed that 147th should be extended as originally proposed to intersect with C.S.A.H. #56. There were differing opinions regarding whether or not Limonite Street should be extended into Peltzer Addition as a through street to 149th and eventual access to #56. By a 3/2 vote, Council requested that the Planning Commission consider a plan that would provide for the connection of 147th with #56 and Limonite Street terminating at 148th. Councilmember Zimmerman requested that the Planning Commission reconsider whether or not the extension of Limonite Street as a through street to 149th will be a benefit. As was stated before, the developer provided City staff with another revision that reinstated 147th as a through street to C.S.A.H. #56 and retained Limonite Street as a through street to 149th. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this plan and it was forwarded to the Anoka County Highway Deparlment for review and comment. The Planning Commission recommended that Council grant preliminary plat approval to Pondview with 147th terminating at the east boundary of the commercial parcel and extending Limonite Street as a through street to 149th Lane. Ms. Frolik noted the letter from Anoka County Highway Department. They seem to be saying that if 147th Avenue is not constructed at this time as a through street for C.R. #56, they may lose #56 to 147th. Councilmember Peterson questioned if the County was saying no more access on #56. John Peterson, Good Value Homes, felt the County was trying to encourage them to build this small section of street but they said all commercial had to access that only by 147th. We have had a lot of discussion on this strip of road. If it needs to go in, we will put it in; we will not "go to the wall" for this. He would agree with whatever Council felt is best. The County is saying you will City Council/March 12, 1996 Page 8 of 21
