PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION
January 19, 1978
The January 19, 1978 Planning Advisory Commission was called to order
at 7:30 PM by Chairman Thorkelson. Members present were: Councilman
Busse, Planner Graser, Commissioners Cavill, Speiker, Houts and Johnson.
The minutes of the January 5, 1978 meeting were motioned for approval
by Houts seconded by Cavill and upon a vote taken were approved as
published.
First item of discussion was in regard to a resolution that is going
before the City Council Monday, January 23, in reference to Credit River
Township requesting an affirmative answer in regard to sewer and water
facilities within 10 years.
The public hearing for Arlene Dienzel was opened for discussion at 7:45 PM.
Planner Graser gave a brief description of the area involved stating that
it would be assimilated to the downtown area adding a commercial site to the
Central Business District. There was a question on how parking accommodations
could be met in such a small area. Mr. Graser stated that the site would
need much site work. It was also brought up that there is a storm sewer
running under the northern tip of the parcel and the City would need an
easement for this. Motion was made by Cavill to rezone the property from
C -1 to B -2, the reason being that the present classification is not
appropriate and the property is adjacent to a business district. Seconded
by Speiker and upon a vote taken motion duly passed.
Next item on the agenda was the Charles Bernhagen variance discussion.
Commissioner Hants abstained from the discussion. Mr. Bernhagens variance
was tabled at the December 15, 1977 meeting to give all commissioners a
chance to view the parcel. A new proposal was brought in by the Bernhagens
After much discussion in regard to the 904, roof lines and the proximity of
the neighbor, motion was made by Cavill to grant the variance with the
following stipulatons: 1. The roof line would go no higher than the highest
present peak on the existing roof. The motion failed for lack of a second.
Commissioner Speiker stated that he would not be comfortable granting this
variance because of the 75' setback from the 904. This variance would also
constitute overbuilding of the lot and Mr. Speiker does not want to set a
precedent (with the 904 elevation). Motion was made by Speiker to deny the
variance request due to staff recommendation and testimony brought out
seconded by Thorkelson, upon a vote taken, the vote was two for and two
against (Johnson and Cavill voting against the motion). This variance request
will now go to the Council because of the split vote on February 6, 1978.
Next item on the agenda was a replat discussion for Mrs. Marilyn Schlader.
The subject parcel is Lot J RLS 29 (Frost Point Neighborhood). The lot is
located at the end of Frost Point Circle. The parcel is pie- shaped with
an existing home on it. It was stated that there are covenants on the square
footage of homes built in this neighborhood. There is also only one sewer

and water stub for this lot. Commissioner Cavill stated he could see
no problem if there are no variances ncaded. Spciker motioned to table
the discussion until some kind of drawing showing the projected lot line
and a rendering of Lie actual lot could be obtained. Motion was seconded
by Cavill and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed.
Next item on the agenda was a plat discussion for Jerry Grendahl. Mr.
Grendahl would like to subdivide his property in the industrial Park.
Planner Graser gave a brief description of the area involved. There
are some road problems that have to be worked out before a subdivision
hearing can take place.
Last item on the agenda was Mr. Ken Jacobsen. This was a continuation of
a conditional use application. Mr. .Jacobsen was requesting that his home
be legally termed a duplex. The building is located at 14154 Grayling
Circle. The building permit was taken out in October of 1965 and states
on the permit "to build and construct a wood frame." Mr. Graser read a
letter from the building inspector, Gene Newstrom, which stated that the
dwelling is and has been used as a duplex since the building was constructed.
Chairman Thorkelson stated that the Prior Lake Planning Commission acknowl-
edges t`,e fact that this house, located at 14154 Grayling Circle, was built
as a duplex under a different jurisdiction and is considered a legal, non-
conforming use to the Prior Lake Planning Commission.
Motion was made by Houts to adjourn, seconded by Cavill and upon a vote
taken the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 PM.
