BOX 359 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 The Planninq Commission reviewed Plannina Commission Exhibit "A" which is the site map submitted by the applicant with the followinq recommend- ation to oo to the Council.: Motion by Fitzgerald seconded by Foster to: 1.) Grant an 8' rear yard variance for the four units consisting of block 2. 2.) The culvert and size necessary to build the road servinq block 6 and 7 be determined. 3.) The proposed dam and potential high water elevation and the effects it would have on this plat be reviewed by the Citv Enaineer. 4.) An appropriate landscape plan be approved by staff. 5.)

Staff recommended approving the 2' side yard variance from the south property line and a 4.5' side yard variance from the north property line. Mr. Hyland stated that the 34' garage side was incorrect it should be 24'. Also Mr. Hyland stated he needs the 5.5' variance to accommodate 2 cars which will just barely fit. Motion was made by Fitzgerald seconded by Arnold to approve the variance per staff recommendation since the variance would perserve the residential characteristics of neighborhood and consistant with previous actions on similar situations. Item IV, Discussion by Staff and Planning Commission on Rural Land Use Density. City Consulting Planner Tooker referred to Memorandum dated January 15, 1982 on Agricultural Zoning in Prior Lake. Mr. Tooker feels the Comprehensive Plan should be changed at this time per the model distributed by the Metro Council. The Planning Commissioners discussed this item at length and the Zoning Ordinance is adequate for now and until changes are needed to keep it as such. Motion was made by Fitzgerald, seconded by Arnold to reject the Agricultural density concept and retain the 10 acre minimum lot size but reduce the front footage requirement or width to 330' based on: 1.) The density concept is fraught with problems. 2.) The density concept would be an impossible administration problem. 3.) The density concept would constantly generate variances due to unique situations. 4.) If the density concept is tested and proven cumbersome then the reversal to original concept would be cumbersome. Motion was made by Commissioner Arnold to adjourn the Plannina Commission meetinc, seconded by Foster. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. The meeting adjourned at 10:40 P.M.
