Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Planning Commission Meeting February 7, 1985 • Chairman Sizer opened the continued public hearing to consider the application of Kenneth G. & Jean J. Zak for a conditional use permit under the ICD, Interstate Corridor District, to operate a commercial automobile body .repair business on an unsewered lot at 21480 Keokuk Avenue, Lakeville, Minnesota. Mr. Knutson stated that the proper mailed and published notices have been given for this hearing. Mr. Brixius stated that Mr. Zak is intending to open a body shop and suggested that the commission members treat this as a brand new application, disregarding all of the things that have happened in thi s area in the past. He went over the planner's report, pointing out the loading berth area, outside storage and screening, and said that no perc test had been submitted yet. Bill Macklin, Attorney for Mr. Zak, explained all that had gone on prior to this. application being filed. He said that since Mr. Young has built a large warehouse just to the south of Mr. Zak's property, he doesn't feel that this body shop proposed by Mr. Zak is out of line .with what is going on in the area now. Discussion followed on zoning, permitted uses, parking, screening, signage, size of lot, and water & sewer extensions. Mr. Tony Hack, 21219 Keokuk, said he has lived in this area all his. life and believed half of this property wasn't zoned R-1 and whatever is to the south was zoned so he could live there. When this home was built it was not to be lived in, but was rezoned for Mr. Zak. Mr. Hack didn't know how we could make that strip along the freeway into R-1 zoning, and wondered why the area had to be rezoned every time someone wanted to do something. Mr. Brixius explained the prior zoning changes that had been made. Diane Soberg, 11850 215th Street, wanted to know if water & sewer would be coming now because of this type of growth and if property values wouldn't. go down with this type of development. Mr. Brixius explained there is no plan to bring water & sewer across the freeway until such time as a developer comes in and wants to pay the price. He also explained that, normally, good planning enhances property values. Mr. Hack wanted to know what ICD stands for and Mr. Brixius said it means there can be some flexibility in that Interstate Corridor District. 85.15 Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Walters, to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous 2 Planning Commission Meeting February 7, 1985 • 85.16 Motion was made by Langhorst, seconded by MacGibbon, to recommend to city council approval of the application of Kenneth G. & Jean J.

Arneson for a conditional use permit to build a veterinary . clinic on an unsewered lot and a conditional use permit for the keeping of animals at 165th Street and Kenrick Avenue. Mr. Knutson stated that the proper mailed and published notices have been given for this hearing.. Mr. Brixius explained what Dr. Arneson is planning to do and went over • the planner's report dated January 16, 1985. Dr. Arneson explained that this is to be a small animal clinic and wanted us to know that maybe in the future they would get into an equine practice in the lower level, therefore he provided us with a drawing showing .additional parking and driveway on to Kenrick Avenue, but would not want to go for that at this time. Dr. Arneson also explained the keeping of animals overnight, saying it is a necessary part of running a clinic.. Mr. Robinette stated that he feels, also, that overnight boarding is an inherent part of this type of business, but only animals that are treated by the clinic. All boarding would be inside. Discussion followed on disposing of waste (in garbage bags),. building plan, signs, possible expansion, and number of animals. 85.17 Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Cammack, to close the public hearing. • Roll. call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous 3 Planning Commission Meeting February 7, 1985 • 55.18 Motion was made by Cammack, seconded by Miller, to recommend to the city council approval of the application of David O. Arneson for a conditional `use permit to build a veterinary clinic on an unsewered lot .and a conditional use permit for the keeping of .animals at 165th Street and Kenrick Avenue, subject to the recommendations in the planner's report dated January 16, 1985, leaving out numbers 4 and 6, and any other staff recommendations. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Chairman Sizer opened the public hearing to consider the application of James E. Allen for rezoning of property from R-2, Single Family Residential, to R-4, Single & Sao Family Residential, on Jamaica. Avenue, Oak Shores 10th Addition. Mr. Knutson stated that the proper. mailed and .published notices have been given for this hearing. Mr. Brixius went over this proposal and the planner's report dated January 31, 1985, saying that Mr. Allen plans to put two-family units on each of the .three lots. He said this would be consistent with the Lakeville Comprehensive Plan, a good use of the land, with perhaps additional screening on the north side, and they would recommend approval of this. rezoning. • Mr. Allen stated these units would be owner-occupied because of the low-interest financing money. connected with this project. Mr. Norman Paffrath, 161.75 Jamaica Avenue, said he owns the home adjacent to this parcel and they (he and his wife, Lee) were told that only single family homes would be built in this area. He said most of the neighbors feel the same way and that you can't guarantee an owner will stay in the home for any length of time. Mr. Allen again stated that because of the low-.interest money, it is necessary that the owners live in the homes. Discussion followed. on owner-occupied homes as opposed to rental property, screening from traffic on Co. Rd. 46, 30 foot access on the north, and property values. 85.19 Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Miller, to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Mr. Allen stated they would be willing to build a single family home on Lot 1 if they had to, and then the doubles on Lots 2 and 3. • 4 Planning Commission Meeting February 7, 1985 85.20 Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Walters, to recommend to city council approval of the application of James E. Allen for rezoning of property from R-2, Single Family Residential, to R-4, Single & Two Family Residential, on Jamaica Avenue, Oak Shores 10th Addition. Roll call of members was taken. Ayes: Walters, MacGibbon, Miller. Nays: Sizer, Langhorst, Cammack Council will be advised .the vote was a three to three split. Sizer's nay was because of the buffer zone to the north and that he feels it is inappropriate to put two-family homes on .that side of the street,. that the transition area should, more appropriately, end on the east side of Jamaica Avenue. Langhorst's and Cammack's nays were for the same reason. MacGibbon asked Mr. Brixius to explain the devaluation of homes. He said the Dakota County Assessor said that new construction would not depreciate neighboring property regardless of the type of housing. Mr. Robinette said that real estate people say the same thing. . Chairman Sizer called fora concept presentation by the Dallas Develop- ment Company. Mr. Bernie Frey made this presentation on their behalf. He introduced Mr. Jim Sorenson and Mr. Wayne Rixman, also from Dallas Development Company. Mr. Frey stated this area is southeast of SouthFork Center, 25 acres are involved, eight units in each cluster, approximately ten units per acre, and they will be asking for rezoning from B-4, General Business District, to R-7, High Density Residential. He showed a rendering and commission members asked a few questions. The developer will continue work and a formal applic~ion will be processed. Mr. Frey thanked the commission for their time. Chairman Sizer called for discussion on the proposed satellite dish ordinance. Mr. Brixius went over this ordinance and said they would be addressed as an accessory use. He introduced Mr. Jim Aufderheide of Aufder World Corporation who answered questions from commission members and stated that a site check is always done before a dish is put in. He went over some of the new regulations and changes being made in the industry, saying the marketplace will be setting the rates and .there will be fair competition in the future. Mr. Brixius will review this draft ordinance, perhaps make some minor .changes, and then a public hearing will be held for adoption. 85..21 Motion was made by Miller, seconded by MacGibbon, to adjourn the meeting. 5 Planning Commission Meeting February 7, 1985 Voice vote was taken on the motion.
