Albertville City Hall
7:00 PM
PRESENT: Chair Howard Larson, Commissioners Carolyn Bauer, Dan
Robertus, Jim Brown and Patti Stalberger, Zoning Administrator David Lund, Deputy
Zoning Administrator Linda Goeb, and City Planner Liz Stockman
Chair Larson called the regular meeting of the Planning & Zoning
Commission to order.
Robertus made a motion to approve the agenda. Bauer seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Brown made a motion to approve the minutes of the February 10, 1998,
meeting as presented. Robertus seconded the motion. All voted aye.
.
Chair Larson reopened the public hearing on the rezoning request from P/I
(Public/Institution) to B-3 (Highway Commercial) for a 13 acre parcel owned by
Clem Marx. There were no revised concept plans presented.
There was no public comment.
Stalberger made a motion to close the public hearing and to approve the
Findings of Fact & Recommendation denying the applicant's request. Bauer
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Since no one was yet present to represent the Cedar Creek South and Cedar
Creek North development stage and final plans, Chair Larson moved to the
Scherer Brothers site and building plan review.
City Planner Liz Stockman explained that Scherer Brothers Lumber
proposes to build a 25,700 square foot building on an existing lot in Barthel
Industrial Park. The property is zoned correctly and the proposed use as a
lumberyard is permitted. The applicant does need a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) to allow for outside storage.
.
The Commission reviewed the conditions listed for the CUP. Chair Larson
stated he was not opposed to allowing outside storage within the rear and side yard
setbacks. However, the developer stated he had no problems with the limitations
outlined in Liz's recommendations.
.
Stalberger made a motion to approve the Findings of Fact &
Recommendation as presented, granting Scherer Brothers a Conditional Use
Permit for outside storage and approving the building and site plan as presented.
Bauer seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Zoning Administrator Lund explained the Outdoor Recreation Grant
Program. The City Council will be conducting a public hearing to consider
authorization of a grant application for the Oakside Park. The Commission
reviewed two concept plans for the development of Oakside Park and the features
to be incorporated initially. The Commission favors a grass ballfield, two tennis
court, a parking lot, playground equipment, water installation for sprinkling and
horseshoe pits.
Stalberger made a motion to recommend Oakside Park Concept Plan #2 for
the Council's consideration. Bauer seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Don Jensen, representing Pilot Land Development, who is donating the
park land, explained that the grading costs for Concept Plan # 1 would be far
cheaper because of the lay of the land.
.
Stalberger and Bauer withdrew their previous motion and second.
Robertus made a motion to recommend approval of Oakside Park Concept
# 1, revised by changing the parking lot design similar to that shown on Concept
#2. Stalberger seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Chair Larson opened a joint public hearing on the Cedar Creek South and
Cedar Creek North Development Stages at 8:05 PM.
Planner Stockman reviewed the plans and stated all details conform to the
Cedar Creek Golf Course PUD already approved. Stockman recommends
Development Stage approvals for both plats.
Chair Larson called for public comment. There was none.
Chair Larson closed the public hearing at 8: 15 PM.
Robertus made a motion to approve the Findings of Fact &
Recommendation to approve the Development Stage of Cedar Creek North and
Cedar Creek South. Bauer seconded the motion. All voted aye.

.
Don Jensen presented a concept plan for the development of the R-5 zoned
property along County Road 37. The Commission was presented with proposed
townhouse designs and layouts. No decision was necessary.
Harold Swanson, representing Swanson Homes, displayed two concept
plans for the residential development of the properties located between Mud and
School Lakes. Concept Plan 5B is a standard design that meets all criteria of the
R-IA zone and the Shoreland Ordinance. Concept Plan 6A requires a PUD zoning
but provides a public trail along both lakeshores. All lot sizes are in conformance
with the R-IA requirements. Swanson requested input from the Commission
regarding their preferences.
Commissioner Brown stated that he feels that the trade-off of trail property
for the PUD zoning district is a fair one for both the city and the developer. The
other Commissioners agreed and stated to Swanson their preference for Concept
6A.
Bauer made a motion to adjourn at 9:20 PM. Brown seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
