Planning Commission \1inutes Page 8 Mr. Dahlgren indicated his only concern relat9d to the preliminary plat is the fact that two of the four propcsed lots will be unbuildable. Gordie Howe, representing Shorewood Corporation, indicated the lot contiguous to the Country Kitchen property must remain a separate lot due to an agreement with the Country Kitchen that the lot be available to them for possible expansion of parking in the future. He also indicated the lot to the west fronting on Marion Street is to be deeded to one of the contiguous property owners since it is not needed for access to the site. Mr. Dahlgren suggested that both of these lots be noted as unbuildable as separate lots on the plat. Recommendation Matson moved and Berry seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Shorewood Corporation's request for preliminary plat and variance at 2231 Rice Street, with the condition that a notation be placed on the plat indicating that the two small lots are unbuildable as separate lots. Roll Call, Ayes: Moeller, Matson, Berry, DeBenedet, Dressler, Johnson and Wiski. Nays: None. Planning File 1548 - Health Resources Assistance Corporation request for preliminary plat, rezoning and special use permit at 2831 Snelling. Presentation Howard Dahlgren indicated the applicant proposes to plat the subject property into three lots to allow them to purchase a portion of the property for use as a Health Care facility. The applicant has requested a rezoning from I-I to B-2 to allow the medical center use and a special use permit to allow a Daycare use. Discussion Charles Honchell indicated a sidewalk is required along the Snelling Frontage Road. The applicant indicated the sidewalk requirement is acceptable. Mr. Honchell indicated that although Lot 3 is not currently proposed for development, the platting process requires utility service to be extended to this lot. Mr. Honchell suggested the applicant petition for the sewer extension to Lot 3. The applicant indicated this was acceptable. Mr. Honchell indicated there were some drainage details to be worked out, but they were not major concerns. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that Lot 1 is a landlocked parcel, and as such is unbuildable. The platting process usually requires all lots to be served by a public street. Marie Slawik, the property owner, has provided a letter to the City indicating Lot 1 will not be used for development of a facility which would require utilities or an access road. Mr. Dahlgren indicated he is hopeful that Mrs. Slawik will at some point dedicate that property to the City to be combined with the park land to the west. He suggested that, included on the plat, should be a notation that Lot 1 is an unbuildable parcel. Recommendation Johnson moved and Matson seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Health Resources Assistance Corporation's request for preliminary plat, special use permit and rezoning from I-I to B-2 at 2831 Snelling with the following conditions:
