CALL TO ORDER

APPROVE MINUTES

PUBLIC HEARINGS
7:00 P.M. - Wetland Alteration Permit - East Farmington PUD -
situated between County Road 74 and Highway 50 east
of Highway 3
a.
Wetlands J, K and L are being affected by the East Farmington PUD
and J, G and I will be impacted by construction of the Prairie Waterway.
(See map attached.) The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the
neighborhood project in relation to the wetlands and, after it
is closed, to recommend approval or denial of the alteration
proposed. Following this action, a similar discussion is required
for wetlands involved with the Prairie Waterway.
.
Prior to the hearing, both the DNR and COE are anticipated to
have taken action on these requested permits. If approved,
action by the Planning Commission should be relatively simple.
If not, the Commission could withhold action until the two agencies
have given their blessing or the Commission could approve the
alteration permit subject to positive action being taken by
both. In essence, the Prairie Waterway right of way will provide
enough replacement wetlands to accommodate those lost within
the proposed neighborhood. All wetlands lost through development
must and will be replaced at a two to one ratio.
b. 7:30 P.M.
Variance Requested by David and Theresa Bryant-
at 5194 Upper 183rd Street West for building
coverage in excess of 30%
Mr. Bryant made an informal presentation of this request at
the last regular meeting. In essence, the Commission agreed
that there was justification for granting a variance to the
30% building coverage ratio on this lot. The proposed 10' x 24'
addition to the rear of the garage will exceed the maximum building
coverage ratio by 28 square feet. The motion to approve this
variance will need to specify the grounds under which the variance
is being granted.
4. DISCUSSION
a. Decision on Wetland Alteration Permit - Prairie Waterway Located
in Section 29 and 32 between the Vermillion River and Highway 50
. The public hearing for this issue was closed during the last
regular meeting. The City Engineer plans to be in attendance
to respond to any questions from the Commission regarding Wetland
Alteration for the Prairie Waterway.

b. Dave Finnegan Proposal to convert the Ford Garage large RtinR
building to eight plex and move from Quik Trip site.
It appears that the "tin" shed on the Quik Trip site has more
substance than current appearance would indicate. The City
Building Official has agreed that the building is possible tomove
and to convert to living quarters. The owner has decided that
he will move the building if authorized by the Commission, but
now that Quik Trip has purchased the site, they wish to move
ahead with their convenience store/gas station project. The
request to move the struct~re to a temporary location just off
the Quik Trip site on land still owned by Mr. Finnegan until
he has enough time to go through the hearing process for a Conditional
Use to build the eight plex into the shell of the existing structure.
The Commission has had some previous experience with a two step
move for a smaller structure within the downtown. The questions
being asked are the desirability of a multi-family residential
structure at this location as well as the possibility that the
Commission would consider a two stage moving permit with the
understanding that if the Conditional Use is not approved, the
"tin" building would be removed.
c. Draft Planning Commission By-Laws
The City Administrator has asked for feedback on the standard
boiler plate language being proposed for all Boards and Commissions
that serve at the pleasure of the City Council.
d. Jerome Schweims - 10535 155th Street, Lakevi11e, MN - Request
to sell nursery supplies consistent with new nursery approved
across the road.
Mr. Schweims' sons are in the nursery business in Inver Grove
Heights and he would like to expand the market garden to a supplier
of nursery products.
