<br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 2, 2006 <br /> <br />Mr. Larson noted that he feels the ordinance from Brooklyn Park may be the closest to <br />tonight's discussion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klennert Hunt noted that the porch type of architecture is making a come <br />back. <br /> <br />Commissioner Woods stated that he supports allowing a type of porch that has a roof, but <br />no walls. <br /> <br />The Commissioner discussed different architectural styles and continuity within <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pangell asked if there was a way for the Planning Commission to see all <br />the plans before they were approved. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson stated that it could be made a Conditional Use Permit which would create <br />more of a burden on the property owner. He cautioned that if the reason to see the plans <br />was to approve architectural styles, then he suggests it not be a Conditional Use Permit <br />because then you are trying to impose the Planning Commission's design taste onto <br />individuals. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed possible setback issues and materials allowed. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson stated that he will draft an ordinance amendment that incorporates the <br />Brooklyn Park language and also that no metal or tin roofs are allowed on the structure. <br />He stated that he will E-mail this information to the Commissioners and suggested <br />scheduling a public hearing for the June meeting. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Pan2;ell. seconded bv Commissioner Wri2;ht. to direct the <br />City Administrator to draft an ordinance amendment to allow covered porches and <br />schedule a public hearin2; for the June meetin2;.
