Planning& Zoning Commission <br />May 3, 2005 <br />Meeting Minutes <br />Lee L’Allier of 1971 Main Street indicated there are six lots down in their area and the <br />residents are in agreement to request rezoning to commercial. <br />Lynae Marshall of 1580 Sorel Street and her husband Eric indicated that they live on the <br />lake and want to state that they are concerned about a potential change to commercial as <br />that could increase taxes. <br />Chair Hanson said he could not foresee going commercial around the lake. He then said <br />that he is not comfortable with M1 around the lake either. <br />Commissioner Klennert Hunt indicated it was not the City’s intent to have it rezoned but <br />wanted to notice it to get as muchinput from residents as possible. <br />There was consensus that there would be no rezoning around the lake area at this time. <br />Paul Steffel of 1709 Main Street asked for the definition of downtown. <br />City Administrator Larson explained that downtown seems to include four square blocks <br />of M1 zoning. <br />Mr. Stoeffel indicated he received maps and literature that indicated that the north side <br />was zoned M1 but he has heard that is not true now. He then said they bought with the <br />understanding that they were M1 and had approval from building inspector based on M1 <br />requirements. <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that there has been some inconsistency and the most <br />conservative approach is that there are four blocks. He then said that the County could <br />buy part of the property and not have to buy the whole thing because there are no <br />setbacks in M1. <br />Steve King of 1724 Sorel asked how being rezoned to commercial would impact his taxes <br />and how it would affect the noise ordinance. <br />Chair Hanson indicated the noise requirement remains the same and follows the <br />ordinance. <br />Al LaMotte of 1643 Heritage Street asked if the rezone would immediately affect taxes or <br />whether the taxes are based on the current use. <br />Christina Gotlieb of 7156 Grangeview indicated she abuts the wooded lot and asked what <br />the setbacks for commercial would be. <br />Chair Hanson reviewed the setbacks for commercial. <br />Tom Dupre of 1781 Main Street indicated he owns the wooded lot and would like to <br />know the proposed rezoning for it. <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br />
