DENNIS FEHN - "1-1" Discussion regarding his driveway on Barthel Industrial Drive OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURN . . . PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 8, 1993 ALBERTVILLE CITY HALL 7:00 PM COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: LeRoy Berning, Howard Larson, Roger Johnson, Donatus Vetsch, Albert Barthel, and Secretary Ann Culley. ABSENT: Alternate Jan Heikes Chairman Berning called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. Vetsch made a motion to approve the agenda as submitted. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 25, 1993, meeting as submitted. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Jerry Corbin addressed the Commission regarding a letter he had received from the City. The letter stated that the City is in the process of blacktopping 50th Street and since his property is zoned residential he is allowed only one curb cut and will have to comply with City code during the 50th Street project. He stated that he lives on the corner of 50th Street and Main Avenue and has one driveway cut on Main Avenue and two on 50th Street. Corbin further stated that the current access to his property is one of the reasons he purchased the property and that removing the driveways on 50th would make it almost impossible to access his garage with his lawnmower, etc. The Commission felt that Corbin using the 50th Street driveway for egress from his property was probably safer than using his Main Avenue driveway. They further felt that since he has maintained two driveways on 50th for so long, that he should be allowed to keep at least one of those curb cuts, but not both. Due to time constraints with regard to completion of the 50th Street project, the Commission agreed to reschedule its regular meeting of June 22nd to June 29th. This will allow time for proper publication of the public hearing notice. A motion was made by Johnson to reschedule the regular meeting of the Planning Commission from June 22, 1993 to June 29, 1993, at 7:00 PM. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to schedule a public hearing regarding Mr. Corbin's application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow him a curb cut on 50th Street, in addition to his curb cut on Main Avenue for June 29, 1993, at 7:00 PM. The motion was seconded by Barthel. All voted aye. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION - 6/8/93 Page 2 of 2 Berning made a motion to recommend in that, in an effort to expedite the matter due to current circumstances, the City Council either: 1. Refrain from putting curbing in the area in question until the conditional use permit is approved, or 2. Put the curb cut on 50th Street in, if they feel it appropriate, and remove it if for some reason the conditional use permit is not approved. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye. Corbin was given an application to fill out for his Conditional Use Permit request and asked to return the completed application, fee, and sketch showing his property and the curb cuts to City Hall as quickly as possible. Dennis Fehn addressed the Commission regarding his concern as it relates to one of his driveways on Barthel Industrial Drive. He feels that if the curbing on 50th Street ends at Barthel Industrial Drive, as shown on the sketch, his driveway will be washed out during heavy rains. He feels the curbing should run past the east side of Barthel Industrial Drive in order to prevent this type of wash out. The Commission feels that there is nothing they can do with regard to this situation. The Commission advised Fehn to contact Thore Meyer to discuss the matter with him and go to the City Council with any further requests regarding this matter. The Commission discussed the monthly staff meeting which will be held on the fourth Wednesday of every month. The consensus of the Commission is that Linda Houghton should contact Chairman LeRoy Berning prior to scheduling any public hearings. Barthel made a motion to adjourn at 8:00 PM. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye.
