Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 11. 1994 meeting as submitted. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Chairman Berning opened the public hearing to consider the request by Bernard Marx for preliminary plat approval on the MLDCO First Addition. They reviewed the information provided by Northwest Associated Consultants and by RCM. Ann provided them with a copy of a building plan for a double bungalow which Dayle Veches is proposing to build on one of the lots. Marx was advised that the building of a double bungalow is in fact allowed in an R-3 district. however. the bungalow must be owned by a single entity and cannot be sub-divided with each side owned by separate individuals. This is due to the fact that a zero lot line is not permitted in this zoning district. Marx stated that he was not aware that this was the proposed use of the property. He is only platting the property which is currently zoned R-3. The Commission stated that it is up to the City to make certain that Veches is aware of the regulations when he applies for a permit. but that they wanted Marx to be aware of the situation just in case his intent is to build double bungalows and have separate owners. Neighboring property owners Tim Phillips and Carolyn Bauer stated that they were under the impression when they bought their homes that only single family homes were allowed. They further stated that they do not want to see the same type of situation with untidy twin homes as currently exists on Main Avenue. They were advised that they could request those developing near their property to place restrictive covenants restricting the erection of multiple family homes in that area, but that the City could not require them to do so. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION February 24, 1994 Page 2 of 3 Marx was advised that he would have to contact the City Attorney in order to draw up a developer's agreement and that he would be responsible for park dedication fees of $170.00 per lot. There was no further comment from the audience. Larson made a motion to close the public hearing at 7:30 PM. The motion was seconded by Barthel. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve preliminary plat approval for MLDCO contingent upon: 1. Approval of a signed Developer's Agreement 2. Payment of park dedication fees in the amount of $680.00. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye. Rich Miller addressed the Commission with his request to build a second 28' x 40' garage on his approximately 2 1/8 acre lot located at 11160 50th Street. Miller stated that the proposed garage would be sided to match his existing home and that the pitch of the roof would also match the house and existing garage. Miller stated that the proposed garage would be used to store and do minor repairs to his own equipment. The Commission advised Miller that this would require a conditional use permit and would also require a public hearing. Ann advised the Commission that they would have to provide findings of fact on this issue. Larson made a motion to schedule a public hearing to consider Miller's request for a conditional use permit on Thursday, March 17, 1994, at 7:00 PM. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Commission questioned if Ann had contacted Heikes. Ann stated that she had both called and had sent a memo and has to date received no response. The Commission directed Ann to contact Linda and find out what the remaining terms of office are for the current Planning Commissioners. Larson reported that the Otsego Creek will be cleaned out in some areas and that the cleaning will essentially involve removal of dead trees. Barthel excused himself from the meeting due to the fact that he had to leave for training for the Fire Department. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION February 24. 1994 Page 2 of 3 Johnson stated that he would like it to be noted that Ann has worked well with the Planning Commission and that the Commission will miss her and the excellent job she did for them. Berning stated that he has served on the Planning Commission for a number of years and never have they been provided with as complete research information and documentation as since Ann started working with them. He thanked her for her help in organizing the Commission. He went on to state that if Ann ever needed a reference or if he could help her in any way to find a new pos i tion that he would be happy to do so. Larson and Johnson concurred. Ann thanked the Planning Commission for their support and stated that she has enjoyed working with them in the past. Johnson made a motion to adjourn at 8: 15 PM and Larson seconded the motion.
