Planning Commission Minutes - 4/2/91
Review sketch ~lan of Outlot
sinqle family residential
Metcalf/Brad Larson.
Mr. Jim Metcalf and Mr. Brad Larson presented their proposed
sketch plan for Outlot A, country Club Manor Addition, in the
ci ty of Monticello. Their sketch plan consisted of lots
fronting on country Club Road and consisted of 26 single
family lots at the minimum or in excess of the minimum
12,000 square feet in lot area. The area to the rear of the
proposed 26 residential lots would remain as outlots for the
following reasons: 1) The far east end would be set aside for
a drainage area, and 2) the remaining area would contain the
existing billboards.
Questions from the Planning commission members included the
following: could driveway turn-arounds be proposed; was there
another proposed layout that could create more lots to better
serve this unplatted tract of land even though they may be
closer to the freeway; how would the storm drainage and
berm/screen area be addressed; what would happen with the
freeway signs; and how would the outlots be created.
There being no further input from the Planning Commission
members, a motion was made by Cindy Lemm and seconded by Jon
Bogart to approve the basic concept allowing lots to front 7th
Street as proposed; however, the following concerns should be
addressed: 1) driveway turn-arounds; 2) storm drainage;
3) berm/screening area along the freeway; 4) freeway signs;
5) how outlots would be created wi thin country Club Manor
Outlot A; and 6) park development. Motion carried
unanimously.

Other matters.
Mr. Russ Martie, Martie's Farm Service, was present to request
an administrative permit which would allow operation of a
temporary greenhouse in an 1-2 zone.
Motion was made by Richard Carlson and seconded
McConnon to recommend granting an administrative
allowing retail sales at Martie's Farm store, which is
in an 1-2 zone. Motion carried unanimously.
by Dan
permit
located
Motion is based on the finding that an administrative permit
allowing retail sales in an 1-2 zone in this case should be
allowed, as such use is consistent with the existing retail
use of the property, which has already been allowed to occur
by the City. Further, the Planning commission directed City
staff to develop an ordinance amendment that would formally
recognize retail sales as a permitted use at the Martie's Farm
store site.
