Knutson had attested earlier that this was a legal public hearing. Voting "aye" were Spande, Asmus, Campbell, and Antolik. Motion carried. Mr. Vucinovich had stated that the reason they are requesting a variance was that they plan to remodel their home and garage. The front entry they would like is the reason for the variance. 77.135 Asmus and Spande moved and seconded a motion to approve the re uest for variance by Thomas Vucinovich for a front yard setback at his home located in Park Terrace 1st Addition, 8420 207th Street West. Voting "aye" were Asmus, Campbell, Antolik, and Spande. Motion to recommend approval carried and Mr. Vucinovich was asked to attend the Council meeting on Nov. 21st, next Monday evening. Mr. Charles Wren was present to explain his request to move a concrete-block building frnm rear of Gephart Furniture, Inc. to his property at 8520 20gth Street. Mr. Wren stated that he had only found out within the past few hours that he would need to obtain the signatures of property owners within 300 feet of this address signifying their approval. He believed he would be able to do this without any question. 77.136 Motion by Spande-Asmus to recommend approval of the moving of theconcrete- block building to X520 20gth Street, subject to Mr. rG~Ten s getting the consent of the neighboring property owners by next Monday's Council Meeting, November 21st. Voting "aye" were Campbell, Antolik, Spande, and Asmus. Motion carried. ~ k Mr. Bailey Seida, representative of Harry S. Johnson Co., was present to discuss plans ~ ~~~~~t 64r westlofing two tracts of land--one is 140 acres in content, Lying north of Co Rd 35w, approximately one mile, and the other is 70-acre piece lying south of Co Rd 64, somewhat southwest of the larger piece of land. The land is owned by a group of five, with Dr. Gary Jacobson and Mr. H. Johnson being present this evening. The property is laid out in 5-acre lots. It is thought that most of the prospective owners will also own larger animals, principaly horses. No curb or gutter is proposed for these streets. The streets, themselves, are proposed to be 50 feet wide, instead of the customary b0 feet. The chief reason for this is that most of this area is heavily wooded and they would like to keep the trees for ascetic and ecology values. However, 20-foot easements on each side of these roads is proposed, giving a q0-foot road in the future, if it should ever become necessary. Meantime these easements will provide a place for horse owners and bicyclists to ride. • The "exception" on the larger tract of .land is the property of Bob Clark. Lot 1 on the 70-acre piece is the Jacobson homesite. Principal question raised by Planner Licht was "can these 5-acre lots sustain on site sewer systems, so the City does not become liable to run sewer system to them?" Apiece of advice was to "take easements, otherwise you get maintenance". ti Mr. Seida used the term "agriculture area, but estate housing" is planned. No street lighting is propased. J. Asmus asked about canting the lot lines on NE corner of the 140-acre tract to alleviate the pond problem. The planner replied that this has been tried unsuccessfully in several instances and he would not recommend it. Chairman Campbell said it seemed that the Committee does not foresee any special hang-ups • but they would like to know the use of the land, in the future planning, for the "excep- tion" area. This proposal will come before NR on Dee. 6th, and P & R on Dec. 7th. Mr. Gary Stinar and architect's representative were present to discuss plans of members of St. John's Lutheran Church to add classrooms to their present bui~.ding located on the SE corner of Holyoke Av. and 210th St. Property acquisition has given them 86 spaces now, more than the 75 that is shown on site plan. (1) PLANNING CONIMTSSION 1~ NOVEMBER 1977 (2) PLANNING COMMISSION 1' NOVEMBER 1977 There are three building~n this property. There is a no~onforming use that results. D. Licht stated that both he and Steve Ryan had worked hard and diligently to find an answer to this problem to favor the building committee. Their thought that a variance hearing should be held was explained. "Reduction of the non-conforming use of the land . is the key" to the situation, was stated by the Planner. A preference that something be moved off the site was expressed. Also if this was done, it would provide 14 more parking spaces. The building committee was advised to file an application for variance proceeding: 77.13?

This deals with revisions suggested by the'NR Committee. It is identified by File No. 336.17, dated 17 November 1977• • No. 1, dealing with the suggestion to reclassify the western end of Lake Marion, that part which lies west of 35W, from "recreational", to "natural environment" wa& di~,ussed. The Planner explained what the differences were, in terms of development measurements. 77.1+0 Spande and Antolik moved and seconded to recommend approval of No. 1 of File No. 336.17,. dealing with the reclassification of western Lake Marion to "natural environment.

No. 2, File No. 336.17, suggestion to revise the definitions of Recreational Development and Natural Environment Public Waters to include a more elaborate explanation as to their use, was discussed. 77.141 Spande and Campbell motioned that above paragraph "be not pursued, because of running a hazard with State established definitions". All members voted "aye". Motion carried. (No 2--disapproval) No. 3, File No. 336.17, dealt with language suggested to more clearly express concern for wildlife. The Committee did feel that adequate regulation of shoreland development would protect wildlife as well, in the long run, or the end result would be the same. 77.1+2 Campbell and Spande moved and seconded to leave No. outlined in the pre- ceding paragraph, "as is, and make no changes". All members voted "aye". Motion carried.

These are File No. 3~3 .17, dated November 17th, NR Committee suggested amendments, and File No. 336.25, dated November 17th, response to NR's suggestions. Agreement was found in definitions of soils, adding words "wetlands, bonding areas to Page 3, Section 3, Subdivision J--and "wetlands" substituted for "marshes" on Page 12, Section 6, Subdivision B 2 f. The words °'wetland, ponding area" are agreed to be added to Page 18 Section 7. "Design of sediment control measures" wordage to Page 15, Article J is agreed. • It was thought that "development agreement specifications" would suffice, rather than "60 day limitation on Page 22, Section 7, Subd. E. The word "practical", rather than "possible" is suggested for Page 22, Section 7, Subd E, NR's suggested addition of Article 6. NR°s suggested Article 7 was agreed, an this same page. Page 23, Subd F & G were rewritten by both NR and Planning. A comparison would be too lengthy to add to these minutes.
