Berning made a motion to approve a Conditional Use Permit for Donald and Patti Vorderbruggan allowing their residence to legally exist in the B-3 zone. Brown seconded the motion. All voted aye. Chair Berning opened the public hearing to consider a rezoning request from David and Jeanne Vetsch to rezone the Vetsch Custom Cabinet lot and the lot adjoining the cabinet shop from B-4 to PUD. The reason for the request is to allow the cabinet shop to expand into the existing building on the second lot. Planner Stockman explained that the proposal has been reviewed at a staff meeting and she recommends approval of the PUD zone because the cabinet shop is currently a non-conforming use in a B-4 zone. The PUD zone would also allow the Vetsch's to expand their cabinet shop into a second building. She recommends that the two lots be combined into one lot as a part of the PUD agreement to be drafted. .

Commission Brown pointed out the fact that MNDOT uses motion signs along freeways with no negative impact on traffic flows, as well as there being motion signs on private property bordering the freeways with no traffic effect. He doesn't feel a motion sign at the high school will create a traffic hazard on County Road 19.

PLANNING & ZONING September 17, 1996 Page 3 of 3 The Commission reviewed and made revisions to the Parks and Trail Survey. The Commission agreed to have Liz mail out the survey as soon as it has been revised. The Commission directed Liz to look into the Subdivision Ordinance regarding how park dedication fees are allocated. The Commission feels a portion of each lot fee should be allocated to community park development rather than being used exclusively for neighborhood parks. Liz brought up a concern from Commissioner Anderson regarding chi I dren cutting through private properties to get to Westwind Park. The Commission agreed it was a private matter and not an issue for the Commission to discuss. The Commission reviewed the Concept Plan for Parkside 4th Addition. Two plans have been submitted labeled "Concept Plan 1" and "Concept Plan 2". Concept Plan 1 shows an "eyebrow" in the street which allows the three lots abutting it to meet width requirements. Concept Plan 2 eliminates the eyebrow but will require variances from the minimum lot width requirement. The Commission favored Concept Plan 2 with three variances. . The layout of the parking lot for Westwind Park was discussed and modifications will be requested. The Commission also requested the developer to install a sewer and water stub into the existing park, but they are not interested in developing a ice rink beyond the parking lot. Larson made a motion to approve Concept PI an #2 for the Parkside 4th Addition as discussed. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to schedule a joint meeting with the City Council on October 14, 1996, at 7:00 PM. Brown seconded the motion. All voted aye.
