Planning Commission Minutes February 1, 1984 -5- DISCUSSION Mr. Rukavina asked for a motion so discussion could occur on the question. Mrs. Dressler indicated that for purposes of discussion she would make the following motion: Dressler Moved, and Moeller Seconded, that no changes be made in the existing ordinance as relating to housing alternatives in the R-I zoning district. Mr. Rukavina indicated he would oppose the motion. He felt the procedure for rezoning from R-I to R-2 is cumbersome. He stated there is a need for more accessory housing in Roseville. He commented the minor variance process has worked well, and could be adapted to this new use, and provide a smoother process. The City does not relinquish the final decision-making authority. It is a way to provide low-cost housing and he felt the change was needed. Mrs. Berry commented the average age of Roseville residents was increasing, and that a substantial number of residents were over 55 years old. She stated Mr. Rukavina's comments were very persuasive, and perhaps the minor variance procedure should be explored further. Mrs. Dressler commented she didn't feel a IOO' requirement for obtaining property owner signatures was sufficient. She felt the impact of another family in a house in the neighborhood could be great, and that the distance requiring signatures should be more. Mr. Dahlgren commented the IOO' mentioned was just a suggestion, and that another distance could be used. Mr. Moeller indicated he hasn't been committed to one option or the other. He felt the adaptation of the minor variance would streamline the process. He indicated there probably are few lots in the city that would be eligible to add another unit. Mrs. Dressler and Mr. Moeller withdrew the motion. RECOMMENDATION Mrs. Johnson Moved, and Mrs. Dressler Seconded, that the staff be instructed to prepare a suggested ordinance adapting the minor variance procedure to the accessory housing question for presentation at the March 7th Commission meeting. Roll Call, Ayes: Dressler, Johnson, Moeller, Wiski, Berry, and Rukavina. Nays: None. ADJOURNMENT Mrs. Dressler Moved, and Mrs. Johnson Seconded, that the meeting be adjourned at 9:25 p..m. Roll Call, Ayes: Dressler, Johnson, Moeller, Wiski, Berry, and Rukavina. Nays: None.
