Planning Director Harmening opened the meeting by indicating
that John Dries, 422 E. 5th Street and Leon Diersen,
418 E. 5th Street are requesting approval of a minor
subdivision such that Diersen may convey a narrow strip of
his property to John Dries. Apparently, a primary reason for
the conveyance is to clear up questions pertaining to lot
line locations and the encroachment of a fence owned by Dries
on the Diersen property.
PUBLIO HEARING-
MINOR SUBDIVISION
418 AND 422 E. 5TH
ST. DRIES/DIERSEN
The location of the property is in an R-2 zone. The Oiersen
property will still meet the minimum 50 foot lot width requirement
and 7,000 sq. foot lot area requirement. Also, the Diersen home
will still meet the required side yard setback from the proposed
new lot line. The Dries property is actually considered to be
nonconforming as it does not meet the minimum 50' lot width or
7,000 sq. ft. lot area requirement. The proposed minor subdivision
will improve on this situation.
Acting Chairperson Kaiser opened the public hearing
at 7:34 p.m. As no one was in attendance to speak on the issue,
acting Chairperson Kaiser closed the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
on this matter
After discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Featherstone
seconded by Commissioner Voelker to approve the minor subdivision.
Planning Director Harmening indicated to the Planning
Commission that the ;.~innesota Municipal Board is expected to
vote on the proposed annexation for the 316/61 area on
6/24/88. Assuming the annexation is approved and the effective
date is 7/1/88, staff hopes to bring to the Planning Commission
the proposed Comp Plan Amendment documents on 7/11/88 requesting
that the Planning Commission order the required public hearing
for the Commissions 7/25/$8 meeting.

UPDATE
Torn Loucks attended a Planning Commission meeting in ~ay outlining
his recommendations for land use in the annexation area. The
recommendations provided by ~r. Loucks were based in large part
on what staff assumed was up to date land use and zoning
classifications as designated by I,larshan Township for the
annexation area. Recently, it was brought to staffs attention
that in 1983 the Township apparently approved a rezoning and
Comp Plan Amendment for a change in the designation of 67
acres of property from Agriculture to Commercial located in
the southern portion of the triangle area between Trunk Highway
316 & 61.
The apparent zoning and land use change could have an effect
on the land use and zoning which staff recommends to the
Planning Commission and City Council for the annexation area
and in particular the triangle area. Originally, it was suggested
to the Planning Commission that most of the 67 acres be designated
as a medium density residential area.
Staff hopes to meet with the owner of the 67 acres in the near
future to ascertain the intentions for development of this area.
Planning Director Harmening updated the Planning Commission
on the future use of a planning consultant. Informed the
Commission on a Jablonski concept plan. Updated the Commission
on Council actions. Asked the Commission if it would be
interested in meeting with the NRRC at its quarterly meeting.
A representative committee of Commissioners Voelker, Zender,
Kaiser, and Anderson will be attending the NRRC meeting when
they talk about Riverwood.
There being no further business a motion was made by
Commissioner Krook, seconded by Commissioner Voelker to
adjourn the meeting at 7:50 p.m.
Upon vote taken, Ayes, 6; Nayes, 9.
