Public Hearing - A simple subdivision request to subdivide an existing
I-2 (heavy industrial) lot into two industrial lots. Applicant, Oakwood
Industrial Park partnership.
Zoning Administrator Gary Anderson explained to planning Commission
members and members from the public in attendance the Oakwood Industrial
Park partnership's request to simple subdivide Lot 6, Block 1, Oakwood
Industrial Park. The applicant's lot subdivision, which is called
Parcel B, meets or exceeds the minimum lot square footage and the minimum
lot width requirements under 1-2 (heavy industrial) zoning.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the
public. Comments from the public included a question as to whether there
was sufficient room to the west of the proposed subdivided Parcel B to
accommodate any type of building immediately west of Parcel B on
Parcel A. Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to the public
that the intent of the area to the west of Parcel B was to allow for
ingress and egress and also to allow the water and sewer service to be
extended up to a proposed location of a building in the area north of the
Parcel B.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and opened the
meeting for input from the planning Commission members. Comments from
the Planning Commission members included what the lot frontage width was
along Chelsea Road and also along Fallon Street. Commission members also
asked Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, to explain the proposed
drainage and utility easements surrounding the perimeters of Parcel A and
Parcel B.

Planning Commission Minutes - 2/7/89
With no further input from the Planning Commission members, a motion was
made by Dan MCConnon, seconded by Mori Malone, to approve the simple
subdivision request to subdivide an existing I-2 (heavy industrial) lot
into two industrial lots with the following condition: 1) the drainage
and utility legal descriptions be drafted and recorded as shown on the
enclosed drainage and utility easement plan. Motion carried unanimously.
5.
Public Hearing - A simple subdivision request to subdivide an existing
unplatted residential lot into two unplatted residential lots. A
rezoning request to rezone R-2 (single and two family residential)
unplatted residential land to R-3 (medium density residential).
Applicant, West Prairie Partners.
Assistant Administrator, Jeff O'Neill, explained to Planning Commission
members that the applicant would like to consider only the simple
subdivision request to subdivide an existing residential lot into two
unplatted residential lots. The applicant, West prairie Partners, has
indicated to Mr. O'Neill that they would like to withdraw their rezoning
request to rezone R-2 (single and two family residential) unplatted
residential land to R-3 (medium density residential). The applicants
would like more time to work with the City staff to come up with a
develoPment plan for their unplatted residential land.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the
public. Some of the comments from the public included questions
regarding what would be the proposed use of the simple subdivided lot.
The partnership indicated that currently they have a proposed daycare
center use for that property; but if the use would become a reality, it
would require a separate public hearing on this proposed use. Other
comments raised were what the total amount of land area that was included
with the West prairie partnership's property was, with that being a total
of 2.7 acres in size. With the 12,000 sq ft lot proposed to be
subdivided off, they would have a total of 2.55 acres of land left for
proposed development. A question also raised was if the property was
subdivided and West Prairie Partners would come back and find that they
are short on square footage to develop the property, what would happen?
Would they be granted a variance to fully develop their property if they
were short on the amount of land area needed to develop the rest of the
unplatted property?
Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, explained to Planning Commission
members and members of the public that were present the procedure for the
simple subdivision request and how the rezoning request came before them
this evening through a public hearing process. In his explanation, he
explained that the West Prairie Partners were joined in a joint
application with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gille and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Reed's
properties. If the three properties were combined, it would consist of
approximately a little over 6 acres of land on which the West Prairie
partners, if they were able to exercise an option to purchase the Gille
and Reed properties, would develop this land.
With no further input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson turned
the meeting over to additional input from the Planning Commission
members.

A request for a final plat review of a proposed new subdivision plat.
Applicant, Charles Ritze.
Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to planning Commission
members and members of the public that Mr. Ritze was back before them
with his final plat request for his proposed new subdivision plat. The
proposed subdivision plat is of irregular shape in that the consensus of
the City Council was to approve the variance request to allow only
25 feet of frontage on a public right-of-way to serve Lot 1 of this
proposed plat. Zoning Administrator Anderson also indicated that
Outlot A was created to dispute between Mr. Ritze and the adjoining
property owner to the north, Mr. Reinhold Yager.
Chairperson Richard carlson then opened the meeting for any input from
the public. Input from the pUblic came from the adjoining property owner
to the west of Mr. Yager, Mr. Dave Nicholas, who indicated he felt his
south property line extended to the north property line of the adjoining
property owner to the west of Mr. Ritze's subdivision plat, William K.
Douglass. Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to Mr. Nicholas
that according to his abstract, that's where the property owner was. But
if his abstract would have been updated, it would have showed "except
that part dedicated to the City of Monticello for street right-of-way
purposes."
With no further input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson then
opened the meeting for input from the planning Commission members. With
no further input from the planning Commission members, motion was made by
Richard Martie, seconded by Cindy Lemm, to approve the final plat request
