Present were Commissioners Loftus, Wells, Arnold, and City Planner Graser. Absent was Commissioner Roseth. Motion by Loftus to approve the minutes of the February 20, 1986 minutes as amended: page 3, item number 5, end of sentence, add "but the park fee must be paid ", seconded by Wells. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. Item I, Northoo, Inc. request for a Conditional Use Permit. Larry Gensmer and Brad Rothnen, property owners, were present to answer questions. Brad Rothnem commented on the property shape being triangular, $28,000 owing in back taxes, and economically have to be duplexes. City Planner Graser commented per memo dated March 3, 1986. At this time audience input was called for. Bob Hobbs, Eagle Creek Avenue, area resident commented on the impact of two duplexes. He felt that it would establish a rental attitude in the area and devalue his hare. It would also alter the single family residential character of the area. The Planning Commissioners all felt that this proposal is beyond the carrying capacity of the site. The possibility of four rental units in a single family residential setting, as is the case here, is not consistent with good land use transition. The application should be denied. At this time the applicant requested a continuation of the request. Motion by Arnold to continue the Conditional Use Permit request by Northoo, Inc. to April 3, 1986 at 8:00 P.M. to allow the applicant to meet with staff and if any changes in the application area residents will be notified, seconded by Loftus. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. Motion by Arnold to adjourn the March 6, 1986 Prior Lake Planning scission meeting, seconded by Loftus. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
