Planning Commission Minutes February I, 1984 -4- Mr. Dahlgren indicated if the land was zoned to R-6, more units would be permitted. He stated the City had more control by rezoning to R-2, using a planned unit development. Pat Johnaon asked if the project does not meet fire codes, could it be built. Mr. Dahlgren responded that building permits cannot be issued if all the appropriate codes are not met. Mrs. Berry stated the questions of providing a turnaround for fire vehicles and approval of the adjacent property owners to extend the street still seem unresolved. Mr. Wiski indicated either a cul-de-sac needs to be built on Mr. Kehr's property, or the street needs to be extended. The Commission needs this information before making a recommendation. Mr. Rukavina agreed with Mr. Wiski. He commented he believed the density on the project is acceptable. RECOMMENDATION Mrs. Berry Moved, and Mr. Wiski Seconded, that Al Kehr's request for rezoning from R-I to R-2, preliminary plat, special use permit for planned unit develop- ment, and variance to density limits at 674 County Road C be continued until the regular Commission meeting of March 7, 1984. Roll Call, Ayes: Johnson, Moeller, Wiski, Berry, and Rukavina. Nays: Dressler. PLANNING FILE 1436 - Study of Housing Alternatives in the R-I Zoning District. PRESENTATION Mr. Dahlgren indicated during the Commission's last discussion, two options were being considered: I) Make no changes in the present ordinance. Continue to follow the policy of the past by permitting duplexes scattered throughout the city. This would require property owners to apply for a rezoning from R-l to R-2. This policy could be publicized. 2) Adopt a procedure similar to the existing minor variance. This would require written approval of property owners within a specified distance of the property to be used for duplex. There would be a board to consider the request and make a recommendation to the City Council. The Council would make the final decision. If the signatures from the surrounding property owners could not be obtained, or if the board did not unanimously approve the request. The property owner would then have the option of proceeding with a regular rezoning application.
