1.1 CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED ZONING CODE MODIFICATIONS
AND PROPOSED SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE.
Mark Koegler, City Planner, updated Council on the Shoreland
Ordinance and Zoning Code Modification. The ordinance is being
implemented into the zoning code. During this process,
inconsistencies and duplications have been discovered. Mark stated
that the DNR has extended the approval deadline until May 10, 1993.
Mark suggested that the public hearing be continued until January
1993 to allow for a completely updated comprehensive plan. Mark
informed Council of the items of concern that the Planning
239
240
November 24, 1992
Commission felt needed work; lot sizes, fence ordinance and sheds.
Mayor Johnson opened the public hearing and asked if there was
anyone present who wished to speak.
Michelle Stutsman, 2173 Cardinal Lane, asked about platted
unimproved streets. Jon Sutherland, Building official, informed
Ms. Stutsman that this item was not covered within the proposed
ordinance and recommended she speak with City staff.
Council discussed the placement of sheds and how this is regulated
and indicated they be placed in the least conspicuous area within
setbacks. Denny Flack, 1609 Bluebird Lane, asked Council about
lock boxes on the commons. Mayor Johnson stated that no structure
was allowed on the commons without a Construction on Public Lands
permit being issued, nothing will be allowed on the Commons without
a permit. Councilmember Smith stated that wording is to be added to
Section 1200.20, subd. 3.B2. regarding the use of lock boxes only
on private lakeshore.
Lot sizes were discussed. Bill Meyer, 6601 Bartlett Boulevard,
spoke with Council regarding the redevelopment of Mound in the next
100 years. He stated that economic conditions could lead to more
subdivisions and smaller lots and the planners of Mound should be
aware and hopefully prevent this. As chair of the Planning
Commission, Bill spoke regarding the commission's split decisions
on this item. Michael Mueller, 5910 Ridgewood Road, and a
Planning Commission member stated he was against requiring larger
lots. Jim Clark, 1665 Bluebird Lane, asked Council about his lot
which is 9600 square feet and subdividing into 3 lots at 3200
square feet each. Council discussed the possibility of lot sizes
being in increments of 3200 square feet, i.e., 6400, 9600, because
of the grid system used in originally laying out the lots.
Legality was discussed in changing lot size requirements. No
action was taken by Council and consensus was to extend public
hearing until January 26, 1993 regular council meeting.
MOTION by Smith and seconded by Jessen to continue the Public
Hearing on the Proposed Zoning Code Modifications and Proposed
Shoreland Management Ordinance until January 26, 1993 regular
Council meeting.
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
