r Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that she did not see language for the zoning permit that Mr. Palzer had suggested and indicated she would like to see a list added of everything Staff can think of that should be reviewed. 2. Zoni..'1g Map Modifications Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that the Conservation District was not intended for the protection of waterways but was created for future recreation and parks. She then explained that the Metropolitan Council does not recognize CI zoning but does recognize the flood plain designation and that is what governs the development process. She further explained that she had discovered that the C 1 zoning was done to provide a recreation area around Clear Water Creek back in June of1991 at the request of the resident at 1759 Main Street. The Commission discussed the pros and cons of the conservation district and determined that it would be appropriate to solicit input from the City Attorney and the consultant who assisted with the changes to the Comprehensive Plan before determining how to rezone the Cl district. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that a resident had applied for a variance from Rice Creek Watershed District to be allowed to build a four-season porch in the floodplain. She then indicated that Rice Creek had told the resident that it would grant approval ifthe City granted a variance and, since the resident applied tor the variance, the 60 day time limit is running. The Commission asked II/IS. Moore.Sykes to call the resident and ask her to waive the 60- day requirements because the City needs to research whether or not a variance from the City is required. V.
