REZONE REQUEST
Carolyn Horsch and Jeanne Horsch have applied for a rezone of property legally
described as Lots 3 to 5, Block 6 & Lot 10 Block 6 EX PT E of HGWY 10 6, TOWN OF
VERMILLION, Dakota County, Minnesota. The property is generally located south of
25~" Street on the west side of Highway 61. The property is approximately 10,400
square feet in size.
No new development is proposed for the subject property at this time_
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Commission met on the aforementioned item on October 22, 2007.
Planning Commissioners concurred with Staff's recommendation to recommend denial
of the rezone request due to the following:
1) The subject property is not adjacent to existing commercial uses.
2) There is no direct access to the property from Highway 61.
3) The small size and irregular shape of the property appears to preclude
commercial development.
4) The low grade of the property makes development difficult.
5) Rezoning the property would allow a future commercial business to be located in
close proximity to residential properties.
No one from the public spoke for or against the item. Commissioners voted 6-0 to
recommend denial subject to the conditions of the attached resolution.
