Steve McDonald, son of William, representative cemented on the request to rezone about 2.5 acres from P.D.D. to R-2. The development framework for the P.U.D. consists of one 18 unit caMdcnniniom or apartment building. The applicant sought to amend the P.U.D. to a townhouse development in 1985. At that time it was discovered that the subject site contained less than the 2.5 acres required for a P.U.D.. The applicant is now requesting that the P.U.D. be rezoned to its underlying zoning classification of R-2 Urban Residential. It is his opinion that R-2 zoning would be more marketable and feasible at this time. City Planner Grazer n+men* per memo dated 2/16187 with regard to rezoning the P.U.D., past action on the rezoning of the site from R-2 to P.U.D. and the building site envelope. At this time audience input was called for. The area residents were not opposed to the rezoning of this property from P.U.D. to R-2 single family. They were concerned over existing and increased traffic conditions and obstruction of view to the lake. Also there was great concern over the future plans of this site, such as size of building and kind, if rezoned to R-2. There was concern over the jutting peninsula off Bass Street into Prior Lake and what cold develop there. (872) 447.4230 4829 DAKOTA STREET S.E. P.O.

The meeting resumed at 8:25 P.M. IT@1 III - VARIANCE RBDUESr BY DONALD V. ALBERTS Mr. Alberts consented on his request for an 8' side yard and 4 front yard variance for 14704 Care Avenue BE. The variance is requested for a garage to be added on the side of the house adjacent to the existing double garage. However, the orientation of the house on the lot makes entrance to the existing garage a hardship for turning. The lot next door has a timbered retaining wall which is on the property line. The applicant expresses concern that a car may back off of the driveway and cause damage to the adjacent hose. Mr. Robert Hillique commented that. his mother -in -law (Mrs. Bergh) owns the lot north of the subject lot and has no objections to the proposed variance. He further commented that the people did riot put the house on the subject lot and perhaps the C.ammissioners could find a fair alternative to the situation even though ordinance is specific with regard to the conditions that must be present in order to justify granting a variance. The Planning Commissioners discussed the variance and were concerned over the setting of an irreversible precedent even though they understood the situation. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of redesigning the existing garage entrance to allow better access. Their suggestion to the applicant was to work out an alternative plan and resubmit the proposal to the Commission at a later date. MOTION BY MMRWUSHI TO TABLE THE VARIANCE MWW BY DONALD V.

BOX 259 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 56372 MINUTES OF THE PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 5, 1987 The area residents discussed existing traffic and dust problems along County Road 83 and were concerned about additional problems associated with the addition of this subdivision. Also there was concern of when and if they could hook up to the sanitary sewer pipe being put in by the Sioux Community along County Road 83. The Planning Camnissioners were not opposed to the rezoning of Island View 5th Addition. The proposed R-1 zoning would be consistent with the Cep Plan. Lot 1 Block 5 should be eliminated because of the low land situation. Fremont Avenue to C.R. 83 should be kept a consistent width of 36' and the creek should be protected at all costs. Furthermore, the developer should have the understanding that sewer hookup to the north is not guaranteed by the City. County Road 83 from Fremont Avenue to County Road 21 should be paved prior to building.
