the September 8, 1992, minutes referring to facing buildings with
material other than steel. Berning explained the reasoning behind
this proposed change to the current zoning ordinance and stated
that it referred only to pole buildings. Larson was further
advised that the Council had placed making this decision on hold
until they received information regarding approximately how much
this would add to the building cost. Larson made a motion to
recommend that, should the City Council disagree with the proposed
amendment to the ordianace as presented at the August 25, 1992,
Planning Commission meeting, the Council direct recommended
changes and their explanation for same back to the Planning
Commission. Haller seconded the motion. All voted aye.

PLANNING COMMISSION - 10/13/92
Page 2
The Commission reviewed, at the City Council's request, the
possible need for a new ordinance regulating what may/may not be
placed around fire hydrants. Ann was directed to contact the
Cities of Maple Lake, Monticello, and Brooklyn Center to get a copy
of their complete zoning ordinances. The Commission felt strongly
that all utility boxes should be removed from the area of all fire
hydrants. Berning made a motion to have Licht review this
situation and make a recommendation, and to table further
discussion until Licht's evaluation has been received. Haller
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Planning Commission questioned why the City Council made
the decision to reduce the minimum building size from 960 sq. ft.
to 864 sq. ft. in the Westwind Planned Unit Development. The
Commission felt that this matter should have been presented to the
Planning Commission for consideration prior to going to the City
Council for a final decision.
The Planning Commission directed Ann to contact Mike Couri and
obtain a copy of the original Planned Unit Development Agreement
relating to Westwind and to give a copy to each member of the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission further directed Ann
to check the minutes of the 1988 Council Meetings to see what
discussion relating to this matter was recorded.
Haller made a motion to direct Ann to contact Licht and get
his opinion as to possible ramifications of this decision by the
City Council and to get Licht's recommendations on this issue. He
further moved to have Licht state his opinion of the consequences
with regard to backlash from current residents and also with future
developers. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Commission directed Ann to obtain copies of State Statute
numbers 462.351 - 364 as it relates to the Planning Commission.
Berning made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Haller seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
