Member absent:
Ba u e r .
1. Motion made by Ridgeway, second by Doerr and unanimously
carried to approve the minutes of May 17, 1977 as presented.
.
2. Public Hearing - Rezonin~ of Parcel from R-1 to
R-2 to Allow for Two (2) Family Dwelling.
Mr. Vern Youngberg requested that Lot 1, Block 2,
Creekside Terrace be rezoned from R-1 to R-2
to allow for a double bungalow.
Neighboring residents, G. Stickfort and Jim Larson
voiced opposition to the rezoning. They felt that
by allowing a duplex to be built, the city may be
setting a precedent for other requests in the future
and that they originally purchased property in the
area because it was zoned single family residential,
assuming the area would remain single family.
A motion was made by Doerr, second by Topel to
recommend approving the rezoning of Lot 1, Block
2 from R-1 (Single Family) to R-2 (Single and Two
Family) to allow Mr. Youngberg to build a duplex
contingent upon approval of the building permit
for a duplex, which must include a site plan and
certificate of survey showing lot size square footage.
In favor: Doerr, Gillham, Topel. Opposed: Ridgeway.
The Planning Commission also recommended that ~
other lots in Creekside Terrace be rezoned to R-2
for duplex development and that future duplexes should
be considered individually on a scattered site basis
in R-1 zones.
3. Approval of Building Permit - 12 Unit Apartment.
Mr. Joseph LaFromboise dba Construction Five is re-
questing a building permit for a twelve unit apartment.
This apartment would be constructed utilizing an
existing foundation just west of the apartment known
as Belmar Apartments. This foundation was abandoned
in 1973 shortly after construction had started on an
apartment house at that time.

Ridgeway made a motion, second by Topel and unanimously
carried to recommend approval of a building permit
for the 12 unit apartment building to Construction 5
Inc., providing the revised drainage plan, landscaping
requirements and building codes are met.

4. Public Hearing - Ordinance Amendments - Motor Vehicle
and Recreation Equipment Sales.
A Public Hearing was held on a proposal to amend the
current Zoning Ordinances to require a conditional
use permit for outside sales in a B-3 or B-4 zoning
district rather than allow car sales, etc. as a per-
mitted use in these zones. The purpose of the amend-
ment was to control outside sales connected with the
principal use of the business to (30%) of the gross
floor area of the principal building.
Mr. Jim Teslow and Curt Hoglund both felt that a 30%
limitation on outside sales may be too small.
Ridgeway made a motion, second by Topel and unanimously
carried to recommend that Section 10-13-1-(B), which
allowed motor vehicle and recreation equipment sales
and garages accessory thereto as permUted uses in a
B-3 district be deleted and that the following amend-
ments be added to the zoning ordinances:
Amend ordinance Section 10-13-4-(E)-1 as follows:
1. Outside services, sales and equipment rental
connected with the principal use is limited to
thirty (30) per cent of the gross floor area of
the principal use. This percentage may be in-
creased as a condition of the conditional use
permit.
Amend ordinance Section 10-14~4-(B) as follows:
(B). Open or outdoor service, sale and rental as a
principal and accessory use and including sales
in or from motorized vehicles, trailers or wagons
provided that:
1. Outside service, sales and equipment rental
connected with the principal use is limited
to thirty (30) percent of the gross floor
area of the principal use. This percentage
may be increased as a condition of the conditional
use permit.

5. Variance Request by Jean Brouillard to Build an
Accessory Building in an R-l District.
Mr. Jean Brouillard requested a variance to build an
accessory building (garage) on his property located
on Lots 7,8,9 and 10, BLOCK C, Lower Monticello.
The current zoning ordinances allow one accessory
buildings up to 1,000 square feet in size for each
residence and Mr. Brouillard would like to build a
second garage for storage of personal equipment not
related to his business. Mr. Brouillard currently
operates a bulk oil business from his home.
Topel made a motion, seconded by Doerr and unanimously
carried to recommend that a variance be granted to
Mr. Brouillard to build a second garage provided that
this building is not used for business purposes.
A public hearing will be held at the City Council
meeting on July 11, 1977 at 7:30 P. M.
