THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION September 15, 1977 The September 15, 1977 Prior Lake Planning Advisory Commission was called to order by Chairman Thorkelson at 7:35 P.M. Members present were Commissioners Hafe rmann and Houts, Councilman Busse and City Planner Graser. The minutes of the September 2, 1977 Planning Advisory Commission were changed to read: page 2, second paragraph should read "motion was made by Houts to grant the variance with a 5' side yard variance and a 13' front yard setback on Rutgers Street seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed." First item on the agenda was a variance request for Bill Hergot with Ron Schmidt representing him. The subject parcel is a lakeshore lot located on a point of land on Martinsons Island. The subject parcel is about 12000 square feet in size (to the 904 elevation) with access being provided by a 31 foot easement. The adjacent lot to the south has a year round home on it, setback being about 25 feet from the,subject Parcel with the parceloto the east being vacant. Planner Graser presented alternative ways of placing the house on the lot. Chairman 7horkelson stated that over 18% of the lot was covered which resulted in an overbuilt lot. Graser recommended that the setback from the east property line should be at least 25 feet with an end - loading garage, therefore providing a turnaround. The proposed house should not extend beyond a line described as follows: a line extending northwood and being the extension of the westerly wall of the home adjacent to the south. Motion was made by Houts to table the request until October 6, 1977 at 7:30 which will give Mr. Schmidt and staff time to work out a solution, seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken motion duly passed. Next item on the agenda was a public hearing for Mr. Earl Evans. Mr. Evans is requesting to rezone about 50 acres of land located north and west of Arctic Circle NW from C -1 Conservation to R -1 Residential. Mr. Graser gave an explanation of the proposal and staff's recommendation that the highest and best use for this parcel at present is C -1. The meeting was then opened to the public. Mr. Evans stated the reason he would like to rezone the property now is so that at some time in the future when he is ready to sell it, it will be all set to go. He also felt that it is better to get all the problems worked out now instead of waiting 5 or 10 years. Mr. Evans stated that he is not planning on developing - he has 10 neighbors more than he had five years ago. He has watched the surrounding areas change to R -1. Phil Strom asked when Almac received their R -1 zoning. Graser replied that it has been R -1 for at least five years. Mr. Evans stated that for planning purposes, as he stated earlier, he '11�_- THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY has no intent of developing the property himself but also has no intent of moving out in the next five years. Thorkelson stated that if we rezoned at this point and began developing the area, even at five acre plats and it became necessary to put in the sewer: this is what the City if trying to avoid - premature extension of sewer and watermains until the existing lines are used to their capacity, What we are saying is that when the time is right for developing this area, that is when the request should be made for the right density. Mr. Evans wanted it put in the records that he is requesting an R -1 zoning and the request is based on the future planning of the City of Prior Lake. Motion was made by Hafermann to deny the request because the City is not in a position to service the area and it would not be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for residential development. Motion was seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed.. Next item on the agenda was a land use discussion for Bill Simpkins. The Simpkins discussed with the Planning Commission the possibilities for their land located near Five Hawks School and Highway 13. The parcel is presently zoned R -1. Planner Graser suggested that the whole 80 acr be looked at as one parcel. Planner Eraser stated that the council voted that the Planning Commission was to receive a per diem of 10.00 /per meeting to be paid once at the end of the year. Motion was made by Houts to adjourn seconded by Hafermann and upon a vote taken the meeting was closed at 9;30 P.M.
