Planning & Zoning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 7, 2006 <br />can be built back there because there is only a pond between them and the housing. He <br />further indicated that they had proposed to put a berm in with pine trees. <br /> <br />Chair Hanson indicated that he thinks a 40-foot berm is asking for too much. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wood indicated that he is fine with this as long as the Ordinance requirements <br />are met and a berm is built. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that Mr. Olson’s building would be a legal non- <br />conforming setback and that should not cause an issue with financing for the building. He <br />then said that any future expansion may be an issue if it would be in the non-conforming <br />setback. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that the property owner would be better off should the <br />City rezone the property to I-1. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson indicated that he would prefer to be I-1. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson indicated that drive in doors will be an issue because he would lose so much <br />ground and not being able to expand his building in that direction. <br /> <br />The Commission pointed out that the residential property in Lino Lakes means that changing <br />the property to I-1 requires a 60-foot setback. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Terway asked if the buffer changes if this is rezoned. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that acknowledging the residential in Lino Lakes there is <br />a 60-foot setback. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson indicated that if it has to be he can live with it but it is not his preference. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that there is already vegetation along the property line <br />that may be sufficient with a commitment not to remove it. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson indicated that the other property owner would need to remove the shed and other <br />messy stuff and then he will review the Watershed District recommendation for greenway. <br />He then said that he will do trees for sure but is not sure if the berm would work due to <br />drainage and he would like a screened fence for his own benefit. <br /> <br />The Commission asked Mr. Olson to leave the big trees wherever possible. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Love, seconded by Commissioner Hanzal, to close the public <br />hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Chair Hanson closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
