Mabusth stated she had the Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing. Kathy Gagne represented the applicant.

The guest house will be handled under a separate conditional use permit. No public comments were heard. General consensus of the Planning Commission was that a park dedication fee should be paid. Frahm moved to recommend approval of the subdivision siibject to a Flowage and Conservation Easement, payment of a park dedication fee, and conditioned upon the bam not being used for animals. Motion seconded by Adams. Vote: Ayes (6), Vacated Seat Nays (0). Motion passed.

Vote: Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. r 1 MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON JULY 23, 1979 ' PAGE 3 L Mr. Wear was present. Mabusth entered into the record a letter from Mr. Sidney Rebers who stated that he could not attend the meeting and asked that the variance request be postponed. The consensus of the Planning Commission was that Mr. Rebers had time to review the plans prior to the meeting and since he had talked to Je5i-;:t»; Mabusth on Friday and did not state any specific objection, if possible, they would act on the request and Mr. Rebers could appear before the Council if he wished. Jhr. Wear is requesting a 5* side setback variance and a 9' height variance for this particular sign, however, he feels he also will need an increase in the 200 s.f. total signage allowed. He feels that the building has three front sides and not one which sets the 200 s.f. requirement. At this point the Planning Commission felt that the signage should be presented as a total package (both highway sign and all building signs) so that some definite amount of signage can be determined. Adams moved to table this application until a complete signage plan can be submitted (both highway sign and all proposed building signs) showing size, graphics, landscaping, etc. Motion seconded by Jabbour. Vote: Ayes (7), Nays (0) . Motion passed unanimously. i fhr. Zitzloff was present. Frahm again vacated his seat as he is a resident of the area and has concerns regarding the drainage problems of this area. The access will now be a shared access with the gas station and has been approved by Hennepin County. Signing has not been submitted but code permits 175 s.f. Parking requirements have been met. r 4 WILLIAM WEAR 2160 Wayzat. Blvd. VARIANCE (#497) i ♦i LOWELL ZITZLOFF 3850 Shoreline Drive COND.

Motion seconded by Jabbour. Vote: Ayes (6), Vacated Seat (1), Nays (0). Motion passed. Polly Patch represented the applicant. It was questioned whether or not a Flowage and Conservation ^sement would be necessary with this subdivision. Staff will check into this before the next meeting. Planning Commission gave conceptual approval and noted that a Public Information Meeting will be held on August 13, 1979. Mr. Pearce was present. The majority of the discussion was regarding the applicant's wish to use a metes and bounds division even though the subdivision includes a private roadway and a residential structure does not lie within subject property which indicates the need for formal platting. Septic testing will be required for the 10-acre lot due to the amount of wetlands involved. The septic inspector does not see a problem with the slope. Planning Commission gave conceptual approval of the proposed plat although the question of formal platting/metes and bounds division has not been resolved. LOWELL ZITZLOFF 3850 Shoreline Drive COND.
