ITEM II - ALLEN GREENFIELD - DISCUSSION Commissioner Greenfield presented the following document on duties of a commissioner and requested it be put into the minutes verbatim. The document is as follows: In any endeavor one struggles to find direction, definition, a sense of purpose if you will. My appointment to this Planning Commission has presented many new challenges. To begin with there is much to learn. Ordinances, Comprehensive Plans, Ethics, Codes, just to name a few. Maybe I should start with my new position and learn all about the role of a Planning Commissioner. SO YOU'RE A PLANNING COMMISSIONER ... NOW WHAT? This is a great mama . I prove a me wi a needed sense of purpose. On page 5 it states, "The first responsibility of the public planner 2s to the public, present and future." So I charge out the gate... I'm ready to serve the public! This is getting really exciting. Reading further, I discovered a single body of law, with powers and a uniform procedure for conducting and implementing municipal... Municipal Planning: Legislation in Minnesota (M.P.). This, as it turns out, is the source document for our City Government. The "do's and don'ts ", the "cans and can'ts", if you will. Well, what about our City Government. Referring to the Bylaws of the City Council in Chapter 3, 1 began to read all about us. In Section 1 Paragraph 2 -3 -4: DUTIES OF COMMISSION: The duties of said Planning Advisory Commission is as follows: 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

(C) To establish principals and policies for guiding action affecting development in the City and its environs. How can this happen? How can the Planning Commission plan for our community and not have current information regarding the past and present trends? How can we render our recommendation to the upcoming Prior Lake 2010 Comprehensive Plan without first determining what our peoples needs are for the future? Here lies the greatest challenge for our most immediate future! Mr. Chairman, this commission has a responsibility as an appointed advisory body of citizen representatives (M.P. 462.354).

Please reference attachment (a) for suggested recommendations. If we fail to perform as required under the by -laws of the office we occupy, the Planning Commissioners stand before Council, Staff, and above all, the Citizens of Prior Lake, ill prepared to undertake the task of planners. To quote from Fred H. Bair, Jr., a planning consultant, "The planner must plead (for the unborn) cause, for them and it isn't easy ". ATTACHMENT (a) Planning Guide Proposal: (1) Establish a date certain compliance of no more than 120 days, with monthly progress review. (2) Each Commissioner compose a one page letter expressing detailed specific qualitative and quantitative statements, 6 minimum points, of their vision and goals for the future of Prior Lake.

Janice Hanson, 4065 Raspberry Ridge Road, stated they are representing The Citizen's Forum Group and are in support of Commissioner Greenfield's proposal. A heated discussion followed by the Commissioners on the pros and cons of commissioner Greenfield's proposal. Consensus from the Commissioners was to publish the Planning Commission agenda in the Prior Lake American paper. This item was placed at the foot of the agenda for further discussion. ITEM II - DISCUSSION ON COMPREHENSIVE 2010 PLAN REVIEW - STAFF Deb Garross, Assistant City Planner, gave an overview on the Prior Lake Comprehensive 2010 Plan and the procedure needed to present the document to the community. Workshops need to be scheduled for dissemination of information. A great deal of time and effort went into the preparation of this document. Commissioner Greenfield stated he felt frustration with the system and wanted the Commissioners to become more pro- active and not be funnel fed by Staff. He would like each Commissioner to write an outline on the issues facing Prior Lake. Commissioner Greenfield felt the reason the public is apathetic is due to lack of leadership. He feels the Commissioners do not have to go the the City Council and receiv9 marching orders but are a body of individuals that can make recommendations to the City Council. Chairman Roseth stated he would like the Commissioners to write an outline on what they would like to see in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Graser reminded the Commissioners that the current draft is a result of the meetings and workshops that were held with the Planning Commission /City Council /and the Economic Development Committee at 1990, 1991, and 1992 Retreat Sessions.

HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING: YES X NO DATE: DECEMBER 3, 1992 HISTORY /BACKGROUND On September 17, 1992 the City Council granted a variance to William Henning to allow the construction of one additional dwelling unit on his property. The variance requested was from the four per quarter /quarter section requirement of the Zoning Ordinance for lands located within the rural service area. See attached planning reports for reference to this item. The City Council granted the density variance subject to findings of fact dat.�l August 17, 1992. The variance to allow one additional structure on the subject site was approved subject to an executed agreement restricting further issuance of building permits on the site until urban services are installed. The agreement must be filed with the Scott County Recorder's Office in order to effect the variance approval. City Attorney, Glenn Kessel drafted the attached agreement setting forth the stipulations of the findings of fact. The purpose of this application is to vary the one year time limit on variance applications required by Section 7.7 of the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance. William Henning sold the property to Jerry Miller after the initial variance hearing. Mr. Miller is willing to sign and record the attached agreement limiting further development on the property„ subject to an understanding by the City that the variance will run with the land for a period not to exceed twenty years. Staff supports the language provided by Attorney Kessel, in item 3, page 2. However, because the twenty year time frame was not specifically cited in the findings of fact, Attorney Kessel, suggested that a separate variance be filed to clarify the time limit issue. Pending the decision of the Planning Commission on this variance, staff will contact Harold Bohlen to determine his interest in obtaining a variance to incorporate a similar clause into the findings of fact for a comparable variance granted for his property, located south of Titus Addition. RECOMMENDATION: The recommen ation from staff is to approve the time limit extension tc twenty years, as recommended by City Attorney, Glenn Kessel. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Like, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

PURPOSE OF HEARING: To consider a variance application for Phyllis Miller, 15563 Calmut Avenue. SUBJECT SITE LOCATION: Lots 6 - 10, Block 1, Titus 2nd Addition & Lots 7 - 12, Block 2, Titus 2nd Addition. See attached map. REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant requests that the Planning Commission grant a variance to the one year time limit placed on a previously approved variance for William Henning. William Henning was granted a variance on August 17 1992 which will allow for the construction of one new single family home on the subject site, indicated upon the attached map A variance, according to Prior Lake City Code, expires after one year if construction has not begun. Mr. Henning sold the property to Phyllis Miller who is the current applicant. It is her intent to build a new single family home at some point in the future. However, it is likely that the home would not be built by August of 1993. Therefore, the applicant requests a time limit extension on the variance originally approved for Mr. Henning. The proposed extension period would allow the variance to be valid for a period not to exceed 20 years. If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, you should attend this meeting. Oral and written comments will be accepted by the City Council. For more information, contact the Prior Lake Planning Department at 447 -4230.
