PLANNING COMMISSION - MINUTES- MAY 1st, 1980 The May 1, 1980 meeting of the Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Fitzgerald. Present at the meeting were Commissioners Fitzgerald, Warmka, Arnold, Wilker, Councilman Bissonett, and City Planner Graser. Commissioner Johnson was absent. The minutes of the April 17, 1980 meeting were reviewed. Motion was made by Wilkey to approve the minutes as published, seconded by Warmka. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. Item I, a variance request by Paul Viereck was called to order. Mr. Viereck was not present at the meeting. Mr. Graser noted that he had received a letter from Mr. Viereck requesting a variance for a sign. Mr. Viereck is requesting to put up a 8' x 4' sign along County Road 42, his property is about one mile west of County Road 21 fronting on County Road 42. He also stated that he felt Mr. Viereck is conducting a home occupation without a per- mit to do so. Chairman Fitzgerald felt that it would be hard to consider a sign larger than the ordinance calls for without knowing the circumstances surrounding such a request, especially if there is a home occupation involved regarding traffic, the amount of retail use conducted, etc. He felt that this could only be done with a home occupation permit hearing. There also was question as to whether or not Mr. Viereck had made proper application and paid the fee for a variance request. Mr. Graser stated that he had not filled out an application or paid a fee. He felt that the letter was sufficient. Motion was made by Warmka to deny the variance as requested in site of the fact that it has not been properly applied for. Application must be made through regular channels for this variance and for the home occupation permit, seconded by Wilker. Upon a vote taken the motion was duly passed. Item II, a discussion by Jerry Jensen of Holiday Station Stores was called to order. Mr. Jensen's request was that the Planning Commission reconsider their motion made at the April 17, 1980 Planning Commission meeting requesting that the building be moved back an additional twenty feet to conform with site lines in the area. Mr. Jensen noted that the engineer for the Holiday Stores has found alot of problems with mov- ing the building back due to soil conditions. one of the major concerns was the add- itional money costs involved. (612) 447 -4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E. PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 Page n.o Prior Lake Planning Commission Minutes The majority of the Planning Commissioners felt that adhearing to the original motion made at the April 17, 1980 meeting would be in the hest interest of the community. There was much concern with the site line along Highway 13. Commissioner Arnold felt that the needs of the community should be considered such as, the need for gasoline as compared to the harmony of the area or the aesthetics. Motion was made by Wilker to leave the variance stand as previously granted to con- form with the site lines of the surrounding buildings along Highway 13, seconded by Warmka. Upon a vote taken, the motion passed. Commissioner Arnold voted Ney. Item I1I, a variance request by Skip Reehie was called to order. Mr. Reebie was present at the meeting to answer que=tions.
