Planning Commission Minutes -6- Wiski asked Mr. Howe whether it would be possible to share the Country Kitchen's access. Mr. Howe indicated he would check, but he felt it was not possible. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the roadway easement to the west is a private easement and a condition placed on a future PUD could be the vacation of the easement. Matson indicated the Commission should remember the danger of getting a different proposal after amending the land use plan to high density. Moeller indicated he shares Matson's concern, but a proposed development would have to come back to the Commission for PUD approval. Dahlgren indicated cities sometimes place in the record a policy statement regarding the type of development envisioned in an amendment to the land use plan. Recommendation Matson moved and Berry seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Shorewood Corporation's request for amendment to the Comprehensive land use plan from medium density residential to high density residential at 2231 Rice, and that included in the recommendation are the two policy statements: 1) The development should have its principle access at Rice Street. 2) The number of units should be limited to 61. Roll Call, Ayes: DeBenedet, Berry, Dressler, Matson, Moeller, and Wiski. Nays: None. Planning File 1499 - Timothy Madden request for rezoning from R-I to R-2 at 162 Minnesota. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposes to convert a single-family split entry home into an up/down duplex. This requires a rezoning from R-l to R-2. Mr. Toenisketter, attorney for the applicant, indicated the home is too large for single-family rental use (its current use). David Drown indicated the existing driveway is not paved and that the Commission may want to include the paving as a condition to the approval. Mr. Toenisketter indicated he could not agree to the condition without consulting with Mr. Madden.
