Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, December 13, 2010 <br /> Page 28 <br /> 1004. Residential Districts (1004.08 Low Density Residential One Family 1 <br /> (LDR -1) District: B. Dimensional Standards <br /> Ihlan moved, Pust seconded, to direct staff to amend the minimum lot area to the <br /> prevailing minimum 11,000 square feet. <br /> Councilmember Roe clarified that the corner lot depth of current code was not be- <br /> ing changed; so not all previous standards were being maintained. <br /> Councilmember Ihlan amended the motion to state that the status quo on lot <br /> dimensions for single family residential lots was retained until a future City <br /> Council reviews the Subdivision Code to avoid creating a rash of subdivisions by <br /> reducing minimum lot sizes at this time. <br /> Councilmember Johnson concurred, based on the perception of residents; opining <br /> that it would be irresponsible for the City Council to leave them at 9,500 square <br /> feet in this section until the City Council reviewed the Subdivision ordinance next <br /> year. <br /> City Attorney Bartholdi clarified that for Minor Subdivisions of 3 lots of less, <br /> those could be 9,500 square feet, with the remainder at 11,000 square feet mini- <br /> mums. <br /> Mayor Klausing spoke in opposition to the motion; opining that it made sense to <br /> bring the zoning code into reality with the vast majority of the city; and that it be- <br /> hooved the City to not have a code that wasn't able to be met by the majority of <br /> its residential properties; and further opined that this was a reasonable way to ad- <br /> dress that inconsistency. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Ihlan; Johnson; and Pust. <br /> Nays: Klausing and Roe. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Councilmember Ihlan questioned if solar access protections were included in the <br /> new code, with staff responding that solar standards were included, but no solar <br /> right protections. <br /> Councilmember Ihlan further addressed height exclusions and read the list in the <br /> PERFOMRANCE STANDARDS, page 24, subheading I; with staff responding <br /> that those standards were included in existing code. <br /> Pust moved, Roe seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1402 (Attachment D) en- <br /> titled, "An Ordinance Adopting a new Official Zoning Map" for the City of Rose- <br /> ville, MN as amended. <br /> i <br />
