Cathy Buck ex- plained motions and discussion pertinent to the meeting would be written in e the minutes but not all opinions are included. SIDNEY WH ITE: DISCUSS NON-CONFORMING USE Mr. Koehler noted corrections to be made in the letter to the Joint Powers Committee regarding Sidney White's non-conforming use dated July 20, 1979. Mr. White does not have employees and open sales lots are allowed in Com- mercial GB and notiri Industrial zoning districts. Mr. White explained he had 7 1/2 acres zoned R-4 which he purchased August 1977. He is licensed with the State of Minnesota to sell vehiCles. He purchases' wrecked vehicles and then fixes them for sale. Bodlovick asked if he was aware of his violation of the ordi nance. He stated he was aware of that fact but would like to obtain permission to continue his operation. Mr. McDonald feels his only option is to rezone the property or change the operation so it does not appear to be a commercial operation. Mr. McDonald thinks the neighbors would strongly oppose rezoning conSidering the number of complaints already received. - e Joint Powers Minutes July 25, 1979 Page Two Mr. White asked if a S.U.P. could be issued to him unti I future rezoning of the area allows him to continue his operation. Cathy Buck stated a S.U.P. is not in order. Mr. Lundquist thought if the property was zoned commercial Mr. White would not be able to live there. Mr. White was under the impression he would be able to live there unti I he sold the property or unti I the house was destroyed after which time it would be strictly commercial. Cathy Buck stated the grand- father clause involved his house, not his business, and that even if the prop- erty is rezoned the business would still require a S.U.P. Open sales lots are not permitted in an industrial zone and a home occupation is not permitted in an accessory building. .' Mr. Peterson made a motion Mr. White be given until September 1, 1979 to terminate his operation or to apply for rezoning. Motion seconded. Motion carried. Mr. Kern thought after Dr. Wallace's subdivision there would be approximately 84 feet left between Dr. Wallace's property and the corner. Dan showed there would be approximately 300 feet remaining. B. Burger King C.U.P. Site Plan Dan stated a representative from Burger King questioned why Dan would not release the bond. Dan asked a site plan be brought in and reviewed by the Joint Powers Committee. The bond will be released when Burger King com- pletes their landscaping as shown on an approved site plan. CALL PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS TO ORDER The public hearing was called to order at 7:10 P.M. e Cathy Buck stated if there were no objections she would like Dan to go through each amendment. Dr. Lundquist noted these changes should be limited to Industrial, Commercial and Multiple Family.

'f e Section 708.05 (11) was changed to read: Planting Islands. For each additional three thousand (3,000> sqoare feet, or portion thereof, of parking area beyond the first three thousand (3,000> square feet, one (1) planting island equal in size to a single parking space shall be installed within the interior of the parking area. All planting islands shall have six (6) inch poured in place concrete curbing or other concrete curbing approved by the Zoning Administrator and a landscaped interior. Planting islands shall be located to facilitate and direct traffic circulation within the parking area. Employee parking areas located in Industria I zoning districts may be exempt from these requirements provided the developer submits alternatives in controlling traf... fic circulation subject to approval by the Joint Powers Committee. Mr. Kern feels a tree in the middle of blacktop is not very attractive. Usually they are poorly taken care of and do not grow we II surrounded by blacktop. There w~s discussion on the validity of planting islands.
