THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION December 15, 1977 The meeting of the Planning .Advisory Commission was called to order at 7:30 PM by Chairman Thorkelson. Members present were: Commissioners Haformann, Houts, Speiker, Councilman Busse and City Planner Fraser. The minutes of the December 1, 1977 meeting we•e motioned for approval by Houts seconded by Hafermann, and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. First item on the agenda was a request to amend the conditional use permit granted to a duplex at 15154 Grayling Circle in Boudins Manor. Motion was made by Houts to grant the request on the condition that the owner could rent out the home on the basis that he is transferred or out of state for a period of no more than one year but that the house remain his home of record. Seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. The public hearing for the Steve Mueller rezoning was opened at 8:00 PM. Mr. Graser gave a brief presentation of the area involved. Mr. Mueller stated that he would like the area rezoned because he felt that with the adjacent area being single family the duplexes would fit in better than apartment buildings and he would like to assist in the construction of the buildings which would enable him to live in one of the duplexes while working on them. Chairman Thorkelson asked Mr. Mueller is he had considered a town - home approach. Mr. Mueller replied that he would rather have duplexes because of ease in maintenance, longer rental periods and he could assist in the construction. City Manager McGuire stated that the sewer and water facilities were a result of the Comprehensive Plan and if the area is rezoned, another area may have to be changed to facilitate an R -3 zone. Houts felt that this was a reasonable request but that there were alternatives. Motion was made by Hafermann to deny the request because R -3 is the intended zone, it is the best use for this piece of land and the reasons for changing are not strong enough at this time. Motion was seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. The public hearing was adjourned at 8:45 PM. The next item on the agenda was a discussion about a discrepancy in the zoning map. The developer claims that when Prior South was platted in 1971, six lots adjacent to Franklin Trail were granted a commercial zoning, but the zoning map reflects an R -1 zone. Motion was made by Thorkelson requesting the City Attorney and administration to correct and bring up to date the zoning map with the revised zoning seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken motion carried. Next item was a rezoning request for Arlene Dienzel. The zoning is now conservation and she would like it changed to B -2. The property is a small, triangular shaped piece of land on the immediate west side of Highway 13 south of Block 10, original Townsite. Motion was made by Houts to hold a public hearing on January 19, 1978 . at 7:45 PM seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken, motion carried. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY Next item on the agenda was a variance request for Mr. U—rles Bernhagen. Commissioner Houts did not participate in this discussion. The variance request is for a portion of Lot 11, Shady Beach #2. The applicant is requesting a 55' variance from the lakeshore setback. The applicant is proposing to remove the single garage and construct a triple car garage attached to the house and add additional living space over the garage. After much discussion, Chairman Thorkelson stated that an alternative solution should be given to Planner Graser and the Planning Commission members should all take a look at the lot. Mr. Graser stated that staff will draw up a survey showing exactly where the house is situated on the lot. Motion by Speiker to table the request until January 19. 1978 at 8:00 PM, seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Commissioner Houts rejoined the meeting. Next item on the agenda was a discussion on lot size standards. Mr. Graser feels that it is important to have adequate housing for low and moderate income families. A possible alternative would be to amend the ordinance to read that a builder must have a certain amount of 6 to 8,000 square foot lots. Motion was made by Speiker to adjourn seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken the meeting was over at 10:00 PM.

Presentations and Requests 1. 7:30 PM Gary Wehrwein - Continuation of Variance 2. 7:45 PM Pat McGinnis - Continuation of Home Occupation Permit 3. 8:00 PM Discussion Period THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION December 1, 1977 AGENDA REPORT 1. Gary We E . 11 - Variance continuation. The reasons for tabling this variance was the discrepancy in the lot measurements. According to staff the east corner of the garage is 13 feet from the front lot line rather than as shown in the drawing. Staff was firm in it's 20 foot front yard recommendation. If the applicant would move his home four feet to the west and four feet back, then the 20 foot front yard setback would be realized. 2. Pat McGinnis - Home occupation permit. The adjacent property owners were notified of the request. Additional information will be presented at the hearing.
