ABSENT: Donatus Vetsch Chairman Haller called the meeting to order at 7:35 PM. The agenda was approved on a motion made by Bishop, seconded by Berning. All voted aye. Berning made a motion to approve the minutes of the February 25, 1992 meeting as submitted. Bishop seconded the motion. All voted aye. The proposed rezoning on the Bernard Vetsch property was discussed with regard to park dedication. It was the general consensus of the Commission that a monetary park dedication fee should be assessed to each lot in the City of Albertville. Psyk 's preliminary plat for the 5th and 6th additions was reviewed. The Commission felt strongly that the park dedication regulations should be complied with. They also have questions regarding Mr. Psyk's proposed walking paths which they will address at the public hearing on March 24, 1992. The Commission also noted that the property which may be proposed for the park dedication seemed to be low land. They questioned if this was DNR restricted, and if it was usable park land. The Westwind plat was presented. The Commission once again questioned the area designated as park. It is extremely low. It was the Commission's understanding that the Developers were to fill that area in with dirt which was removed from other lots during their previous development. The Commission questioned whether or not this had been done, and how much of that area would now be usable. The Commission would like Thore Meyer to calculate the amount of land the entire Westwind Projects should have dedicated to park land versus how much was actually dedicated. They also requested that John George, Inc. submit a plat for Westwind Fourth Addition. The plat they were presented was a plat for the Westwind Second Addition. The Commission raised the issue of sidewalks. They feel that new developments should be required to put in sidewalks for the safety of the general public and in particular for the children who must walk to school. The Commission requested that a joint meeting be set with the Park Board at the March 24th meeting to discuss this issue in the future, possibly at the Planning Commission meeting to be held on April 14th. . . . The Commission raised the question of the public hearings which have been set for the Dennis Fehn's proposed rezoning and the Westwind Fourth Addition. Ann informed them that Linda had set those public hearings. The Commission was under the understanding that they were to schedule all public hearings and would like a clarification of that from Administration. Rick Bishop made a motion to recommend to the City Council that they appoint Tim Phillips to fill the vacancy on the Planning Commission. Bishop commented that he felt that the interest showed by Phillips in his attendance at prior Planning Commission meetings was an important factor in his appointment to the Commission. The motion was seconded by Berning. All voted aye. The new application form for the Planning Commission was presented. Berning requested that "place of employment" be changed to "occupation". This was the only change requested. Berning made a motion Bishop seconded the motion. to adjourn the meeting at 9: 30 PM. All voted aye.
