The continued public hearing on the conditional use permit for Ken Zak to build a
garage over 1,000 square feet at 21490 Keokuk Avenue W. and to rezone the .property
from {-1 and ICD to R-1 was opened by the Chairman. Mr. Phillip Schiebe, Attorney
representing the applicant, appeared before the Commission. He stated the main issue
at hand was the body shop use which the applicant wishes to operate in conjunction with
his residence, Mr, and Mrs. Zak appeared and stated the primary reason for purchasing
the property was its zoning and their being able to construct and operate a body shop in
conjunction with their home. They stated they understood such was acceptable based
upon conversations with Sid Miller, Lakeville Building Official . Upon questioning Mr.
Zak stated he had stated that City Council approval was required. Mr. Antolik stated
Mr. Miller would not have been aware of restrictions placed upon the .property when
Waconia Homes gained approval of the structure as a model . Mr. Harvey stated single
family zoned property existed to the immediate west of the Zak land. Mr. Geisness
questioned what use was apprc~riate for the area. Mr. Licht explained the limited size
of all the industrial property west of I-35, south of County Road 70, made questionable
any nonresidential use . Lack of public .sewer and water further limits the type of
development . If the property were rezoned to R-1 the Zak's could at least .legally
occupy their home. At present they are classified as an illegal nonconforming use.
Additionally, if .both a residence and body shop were wanted on one site, a PUD •
zoning would be required due to two principal activities being conducted. Mr. Geisness
stated he sympathized with the applicant's situation, but questioned a body shop opera-
tion in association with a home and also the validity of a PUD in this'type of case. Mr.
Antolik stated he agreed. Mr. Miller questioned. whether this was not an isolated case
and if some flexibility could be given. Mrs. Enright questioned the precedent which
would be set, plus if this was good long range planning. Mrr Rice stated similar concerns
.and stated that once granted, it would be hard to restrict such action.
81.123 Motion was. made by Enright, seconded by Miller to close the public hearing...
Rolf call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous
Mr. Zak stated the rezoning and conditional use permit as recommended by staff does not
achieve the objective of what is wanted . Mr, Geisness questioned the purchase of the
property. Mr. Schiebe presented a letter from Steve Pemberton, the realtor sellirx3 the
property. Mr. Zak stated he would not have bought the property solely as a residence.
Mr. Harvey questioned whether the applicant had changed his plans for the property as
only recreational equipment storage was discussed at the first public hearing.. He further
questioned whether action was wanted on the matter at this time or whether the applicant
and their attorney wished to .confer. The applicant indicated he wished to discuss the
situation further with his legal counsel . Mr. Harvey tabled further discussion of the Zak
