CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Comm.issioner Wood, Vice- I Chair of the Commission. � 1. Roll Call ' II. PUBLIC INPUT/HEARING The Commission held a fact-finding inquiry to consider the impacts of the nonconforming zoning designation. The nonconforming designation impacts properties in the M-1, M-2 and B-1 districts. The City Council directed that P&Z take comments from the public to determine if property owners are being denied the opportunity to expand or improve their properties. The following persons expressed their views on the matter: Olaf Lee, 1724 Heritage Street. Mr. Lee indicated that he and his family would like to ' construct a sun room, a bedroom and a garage. T'he home in currently about 2,900 ' square feet. Would like the zoning changed back until a developer buys the property. Randy Knadke, 1751 Main Street. Mr. Knadke would like to add two rooms or about 15% additional square feet of home. Page 1 of 3 Ciry of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission Pat Camp-Baron, 7121 Centerville Road. Ms. Camp-Baron doesn't have any expansion plans, but dislikes the restrictions on her property that were imposed by the zoning. Wendy Brilowski, 7124 Main Street. Ms. Brilowski was not sure if she was in a nonconforming use situation. It was pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan guides her property to mixed use, which would dictate a rezoning to M-2, putting her property in a nonconforming use. Bryce Wasiloski, 1688 Heritage Street. His family had prepared a plan for a replacement of the garage and for some decks and a porch. LyNae Marshall, 7216 LaValle Drive. She is not in a nonconforming use, but feels it is unfair to deny property owners the right to do as they please with their property. D. Love, Council Member, explained why the City was requesting comments from the public. Paul Burke, 1683 Lakeland Circle, owns property at 7105 Main Street. Plans to construct town homes in the longer term, but isn't going to do anything now. Erick Marshall, 7216 LaValle Drive. Would like the see the zoning downtown changed back to the way it was before. After everyone who wi:shed to speak was given an opportunity to do so, the public inquiry was closed. III. OLD BUSINESS None IV. NEW BUSINESS A. Appointment of a chair and vice-chair. Motion bv Commissioner 1V�osher, seconded bv Commissioner Pangell that the Commission table the decision on a chair and vice-chair. All in favor. rVlotion carried , B. Zoning to conform to Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Commission reviewed zoning guidance of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the plan directs that certain areas be changed from low to medium density residential, low density residential to mixed use, other areas to high density residential and another I area from industrial to CommerciaL It was noted that the City has approximately one year from adoption of the plan to make the zoning consistent with the Plan. � Some members expressed concerns that the assumptions in the plan may have been faulty, that Centerville may not attain the population densities that were projected. Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission Also, concern was raised over creating more nonconforming uses in the City. Staff was directed to come up with code language to implement the medium and high density zoning areas identified in the plan. C. Nonconforming uses. The Commission discussed the input that was received from the public this evening. City Attorney Glaser will investigate possible options and will report back in writing before the April meeting. The Commission discussed the possibility of a joint work session with the City Council for April or May, 2010. D. Residential Accessory Structures and Setbacks. Resident Kurt Frison had requested that P&Z consider reducing the side-yard setback for garages and accessory ' buildings. Staff confirmed that several neighboring communities have a five-foot ', setback as compared to Centerville's 10 foot requirement. Those with a five-foot � setback include White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes and Blaine. The ! Commission discussed some adverse impacts of a reduced setback. Among those are: a I narrower setback would make it impossible for the property owner to get a vehicle to I the rear yard along that side; if two garages on neighboring parcels faced one another, the buildings would be ten feet apart, even less if ineasured at the roof overhang; drainage swales along that side of the property would be more difficult with the reduced distance. Staff was directed to prepare draft code language tha.t would implement the reduced setback but taking into account the adverse impacts mentioned. V. CONSIDERATION OF NIINUTES 1.

Motion carried Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission Motion bv Commissioner Parrucci, seconded bv Commissioner Larson that the Commission apuoint Tom Wood as vice-chair of the P&Z. All in favor. Motion carried B. Residential Accessory Structures and Setbacks. The Commission reviewed a draft code change that would allow accessory buildings to be 5 feet from interior side Iot lines. Definitions would change to treat attached garages in the same manner as detached garages for the purpose of interior side-yard setback. The Commission felt other restrictions that accessory buildings be limited to 2% of total lot area or 200 square feet is too restricted and should be removed. The primary restriction on accessory building (attached or detached) would be that the combined square footage could not exceed the footprint of the main floor of the dwelling. The Comrnission determined that the roof overhang should not be permitted to encroach into the five- , foot setback, if a drainage easement existed along the property line. , Motion bv Commissioner Wekseth, seconded bv Commissioner Lange that the � Commission hold a nublic hearing to consider the code changes at the nezt meeting and that notice be �iven accordinglv. All in favor. Motion carried ! C. Nonconforming uses. The Comrnission discussed the input that was received from � the public this evening. The Commission reviewed a memo from City Attorney Glaser outlining possible actions to permit more flexibility for nonconforming uses. The suggestion was that an increase in the use be permitted to 25% of the footprint of the ' dwelling as existed on May 23, 2006, which is the da.te that the downtown plan was approved and the current zoning districts were established. Olaf Lee, 1724 Heritage Street was present. Mr. Lee suggested that 25% isn't high enough. After some discussion the Commission suggested 33%. Some changes were suggested to the accessory building regulations. It was then suggested that nonconforming uses be allowed to construct accessory buildings as would otherwise be allowed if the property was in a R-2 zoning district. Motion bv Commissioner Wood, seconded bv Commissioner Lan�e that the Commission draft a uroposed ordinance amendment that would imnlement a 33% ezpansion of nonconforming uses and would allow accessorv buildin�s per residential R-2 regulations. All in favor. Motion carried B. Zoning to conform to Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Commission reviewed a memo from Tina Goodroad, Planner for Bonestroo, suggesting certain zoning changes to conform to the new Comprehensive P�an. Specifica.11y, the plan directs that certain areas be changed from low to medium density Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission residential, low density residenrial to mixed use, other areas to high density residential � and another area from industrial to Commercial Business. Some members continued to express concerns tha.t the change from industrial to business may adversely affect certa.in industry owners. � Motion bv Commissioner Lange, seconded bv Commissioner Wood that the I �i Commission table this matter until the next meeting.
