Public Hearing - A conditional use request to allow a 4-plex in an R-2
(Single and two-family residential) zone. A variance request which would
allow two zero lot line duplexes. A variance request to allow two zero
lot line duplex residential lots to have less than the minimum lot square
footage and lot frontage. Applicant, Lanners Custom Hames.
.
Jeff O'Neill, Assistant Administrator, explained to Planning commission
members the background to Lanners Custom Homes' conditional use and
variance requests. The decision the Planning Commission members will
have to make is whether they consider this request to be for a 4-plex or
for a duplex. This decision would have to be determined prior to making
the formal motion. Mr. O'Neill explained that the requirements for a
4-plex have been met or exceeded, and the applicant is proposing to
create two zero lot line duplexes, which on the outside would look like a
4-plex; but by lot line division, there would be two separate properties
maintained to create two zero lot line duplexes. The developer has also
met many of the minimum requirements for a zero lot line duplex with the
exception of the minimum lot square footage required and the minimum lot
frontage required. The minimum lot square footage required is
12,000 sq ft, and the developer has 10,890 sq ft of land area. The
minimum lot frontage requirement is 80 feet of lot frontage, and the
developer has 66 feet of lot frontage. The size of the minimum lots
previously platted in the city of Monticello were 66 ft X 165 ft in
depth, or 10,890 sq ft of land area. The minimum lot size requirements
have been changed to 80 feet of lot frontage by 150 ft of lot depth for a
total of 12,000 sq ft of land area.

Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the public hearing. Neighboring
residents explained their concerns as follows:
A. The previous owners of the property indicated there would be two
single family houses built on these two lots and not a 4-plex.
B. Previous Council action indicated a screening fence to be constructed
to the rear of the Baptist Church property, which has not been
installed as of tonight's meeting date; and if this is approved, it
should have an additional six-foot high solid opaque screening fence
along the entire back line of the property and up the east and west
side lot line to meet the rear most portion of the existing Baptist
Church property and the rear most portion of the existing single
family house of Vera Raumer' s.
.
C. The impact of rental property owners with single family residences
predominantly in the area. Congestion of parking and at night goes
off in the spring tenants from this proposed 4-plex will be parking
on the street. There is already quite an amount of congestion in the
area. With the proposed 4-plex, there would be even more congestion
in this area. with the construction of the proposed 4-plex and more
than likely the possibility of an absentee ownership of this 4-plex
with tenants, and the possibility of four rental tenants being in
this property, the property values could be diminished with the
presence of this proposed 4-plex.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing. Motion was
made by Mori Malone and seconded by Richard Martie to deny the variance
request which would allow two zero lot line duplexes. Motion carried
unanimously with Dan McConnon absent. Reason for denial: the proposed
zero lot line 4-plex is inconsistent with the geographical area. We have
no zero lot line 4-plexes within this community; and in the event this
was approved, it would open the possibility of such requests occurring in
other areas of R-2 zoning.
6. Consideration to approve the resolution for the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority's modified redevelopment plan to r~evelop Project #1, modified
tax increment financing plans for tax increment financing District
Nos. 1-1 through 1-8, and tax increment financing District #1-9.
Ollie Koropchak, Economic Development Director, explained to Planning
Commission members Mr. Russ Martie's proposal for constructing a new
sales and warehouse facility in the Oakwood Industrial Park. The
applicant, Mr. Russ Martie, has chosen the option of pay-as-you go tax
increment financing. This would mean that Mr. Martie would be paid
$2,500 per year over a period of 7 years, for a total of $17,500. The
Housing and Redevelopment Authority in their approval of this
redevelopment plan had a requirement for any outside storage to be
screened from the public right-of-way.

increment financing plans for tax increment financing District
Nos. 1-1 through 1-8, and Tax Increment Financing District #1-9.
Motion carried unanimously with Dan McConnon absent and Richard Martie

SEE ALSO PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 90-5. (Resolution 90-5 was
executed on August 7, 1990, to show Martie's correct TIF district
number, which is 1-11 rather than 1-9. It was originally denied by
the Council and later approved. In the interim, two other TIF
districts were approved which used the numbers 1-9 and 1-10, thus
making Martie's TIF district 1-11.)
