lo. __.'" ..... Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Monday, June II, 1984 - 7:30 p.m. Page Two REPORT OF VILLAGE PLANNER ORLYN MILLER Case No. 84-15, Lot Split and Consolidation - 2017 and 2019 Thom Drive - Michael Foster Council was referred to Planning Memo (5-25-84), Planning Commission Minutes (6-6-84) and to a transparency of the pro- posed split of approximately 200 feet from two adjacent 50' wide lots, to create a single building lot 200' deep x 100' wide. Miller noted that there are existing homes on the 50' wide lots; these lots will remain non-conforming in width; newly created lot substantially exceeds the dimensional requirements of the district (R-2). Miller reported that the new lot has sewer and water in the street; feels the requested split is reasonable ~ and recommends approval; reported that the Planning Commission also recommends approval. Rauenhorst moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the lot split and consolidation (minor subdivision) as proposed (Case 84-15). Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Board of Appeals Report - Appeal of Administrative Decision. Sports Clinic - Arden Hills Club Council was referred to report of the Board of Appeals and ,Adjustment (5-31-84); one member is in support of the administrative decision and one member is opposed. Miller noted that Council has the final decision; noted that options, if Council desires to permit the sports clinic in the 1-1 District, are: - modify the Zoning Ordinance - rezone the parcel Dr. Hendrickson stated that he f~els his sports clinic is compatible to the Club; explained that his reason for opening the clinic to non-members is that the Club is surrounded by industry. Hendrickson said he has worked with industrial health before; feels the clinic also fits industrial health fitness programs and prevention measures; feels there is a need for preventative health care; wants to work toward this goal - to assist people to make better health decisions. Hendrickson reported that he has had only positive comments from his clients in the Club; noted that parking will not be a problem, expecially not during his clinic hours; foresees no traffic flow problems; noted that there already is a chiropractic clinic in the 1-1 District at Hamline and County Road F. Christiansen moved that the sports clinic is an "accessory use other than normal" to the Arden Hills Club facility. Hicks said he would prefer to allow the clinic by changing the ordinance; feels it is not an appropriate use as the ordinance is written. Rauenhorst expressed opposition to rezoning of the parcel; agrees with Hicks to change the ordinance to allow a sports clinic in the 1-1 District. Miller noted that a hearing will be required if the ordinance is to be changed; the proposed change should be referred to the Planning Commission for its recommendations as to how the ordinance should be modified; a hearing is then scheduled before the Planning Commission or Council. . Christiansen explained that his positive response to Hendrickson's request is based on the fact that he believes it is a unique situation in this case; he is practicing sports medicine and it is, in effect, a non-conforming use to that facility; 'therefore. he doesn't think that other types of medical clinics would be acceptable in the 1-1 District, but in this case. as an "accessory use other than normal" to that sports facility.
