TITLE OF ISSUE:
Variance Request - 7021 LaMotte Drive (Driveway)
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The resident at 7021 LaMotte Drive would like to talk with the Planning Commission about requesting a variance
or text amendment to the City Code that would thereby allow him to widen his driveway beyond what is currently
allowed in the existing regulations. Please see the attached drawings of what the resident would like to do (which
is outside of the current regulations). Mr. McCall's garage is 31' and his existing driveway is 24', e can widen to
31' but he would like an additional 7' or 10'. He is willing to concrete his driveway to replace what he currently has,
which is rock. Mr. McCall's request for a variance for this proposal was not supported by the P&Z in May 2024.

1. Concept Review Î Old Mill Estates 3 Addition
stnd
Staff introduced this item, noting that the concept plan for Old Mill Estates 1 and 2 edition were
reviewed at the Planning Commission meeting in March 2024. No formal action was taken at that
meeting, but there was consensus of the Commission to support the plan.
The developer was hoping to complete the project in the summer 2024, however, wetland
permitting issues took longer than expected Î those issues have been resolved.

The Old Mill Estates 3 edition includes three lots plus the old lot 8 for four lots total. The third
edition is a replating of Lot 1 into 4 separate lots. Three of the lots would share one access to the
street with a professionally drawn joint maintenance agreement with the sewer and water lines in
that access. The shared access would be asphalt paved, 16 feet wide. Each lot would receive one
park fee upon sale by us. The developer addressed the Commission to answer questions.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. Table of Allowed Uses
Assistant Administrator Lewis introduced this item as presented in the packet. Discussion ensued
about the revised definition of light manufacturing, to include Ðfabrication, and assemblyÑ in the
definition. The word ÐlightÑ was added before ÐmanufacturingÑ on the Table of Allowed Uses.
Discussion ensued about the recommended definition for automotive detailing; the Commission
discussed the Ðinstallation of accessoriesÑ and if the intent is to allow pinstriping and bug shield
lights. The term restoration was also discussed to clarify activities such as repairing hail damage
(light refinishing done with a hammer) versus heavy body work. The Commission noted that there
is some overlap of categories on the Table of Allowed Uses (notably in retail sales and services)
and Assistant Administrator Lewis noted that in time the Table will be updated to clean up some
of the overlap. The Commission requested further clarification on the definition for automotive
detailing and agreed the proposed revision could be taken to council for approval.
Motion by Commissioner Olson, seconded by Commissioner Carciofini to recommend
approval of the proposed changes to the Table of Allowed Uses, with revisions further
clarifying the definition for automotive detailing. All in favor. Motion carried.
2. Downtown Master Plan Changes
Assistant Administrator Lewis introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that the only
change to the document, since the last Commission meeting, is adding an addendum outlining
examples of French-Canadian architecture.
Administrator Statz reviewed his memo explaining why a Comprehensive Land Use Amendment
is not needed to bring the density in the M-2 from 12-45 units/acre to 12-30 units/acre.
Administrator Statz noted that as long as all the zoning districts are within the 12-45 unit/acre
range, there is no need for a change; he added that if the Commission wanted to lower one of the
districtÓs bottom thresholds, that would require a Comprehensive Land Use Amendment, because
it would be out of range. Discussion ensued about a few text amendments in the Downtown Mater
Plan to include the following:
Downtown Neighborhood (M-2) page 20 Î remove the Ðlow-density and mid-rise housingÑ
Off-Street Parking Î Retail/Office page 23 Î change ÐanticipatedÑ to ÐrequiredÑ
Building Height page 28 Î add Ð35 feetÑ to the 2-story building
Motion by Commissioner Seppala, seconded by Commissioner Carciofini to make a
recommend the adoption of the revised Downtown Master Plan and Development Guidelines
with the text amendments, findings of the Planning Commission and a separate action to
lower the density in the City Code from 12-45 to 12-30 to be consistent with the Downtown
Master Plan. All in favor. Motion carried.
